INFORMED CONSENT
Possible Risks of Telemedicine:
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine. Facility believes that the likelihood of these risks materializing is very low. These risks may include, without limitation, the following:
Delays in medical evaluation and consultation or treatment may occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment which may include poor video and data quality. Security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information. Lack of access to complete medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other negative outcomes.
By accepting these Terms of Use, you acknowledge that you understand and agree with the following: You understand that the laws that protect privacy and the confidentiality of medical information also apply to telemedicine. Links are provided above to the Facility Notice of Privacy Practices and the Online Care Group Notice of Privacy Practices which explains this in greater detail. You understand that telemedicine may involve electronic communication of your personal medical information to medical practitioners who may be located in other areas, including out of state. You understand that you may expect the anticipated benefits from the use of telemedicine, but that no results can be guaranteed or assured. You understand that all information will be part of your medical record and available to you by printing the summary from the visit. This information will have the same restrictions on dissemination without your consent.
Except to the extent already relied upon, you understand you may withdraw your consent at any time by emailing [email protected] to withdraw your consent and inactivate your account. You understand that your healthcare information may be shared with other individuals for treatment, payment and healthcare operations purposes. Psychotherapy notes are maintained by clinicians but are not shared with others, while billing codes and encounter summaries are shared with others. If you obtain psychotherapy services, you understand that your therapist has the right to limit the information provided to you if in your therapist’s professional judgment sharing the information with you would be harmful to you.
You further understand that your healthcare information may be shared in the following circumstances:
When a valid court order is issued for medical records. Reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. Preventing or reducing a serious threat to anyone’s health or safety.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ARBITRATION CLAUSE).
Binding Arbitration. You and Facility each agree to submit to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute, controversy or claim (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof (including the determination of the scope or applicability of these Terms to arbitrate), your or Facility’s rights and obligations under these Terms, the Site, the use of the Site, and/or the information, services and/or products that may be provided by or through or in connection with the Site. The arbitration will be held in the State of which the care was provided before one arbitrator on an individual basis and not as a class action. You expressly waive any right you may have to arbitrate a dispute as a class action. You also expressly waive your right to a jury trial. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS (http://www.jamsadr.com). You may obtain a copy of the rules of JAMS by contacting the organization. You and Facility shall agree on one arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. In the event the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the JAMS rules. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless such fees are awarded by the arbitrator to the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Facility’s intellectual property rights, Facility may seek (and you will not contest) injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court with jurisdiction over the state and city in which the care was provided and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
Arbitration Final. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding on all parties. The Federal Arbitration Act, and not any state law concerning arbitration, governs all arbitration under this clause. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator’s award. If any part of this clause, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the waiver of class action rights contained herein is not enforceable as to any person or persons, such non-enforceability shall apply to such person or persons only, and all other persons shall continue to be governed by the Arbitration Clause. Giving Up Right of Class Action. These Terms provides that all Disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration and not in court or by jury trial. IF A DISPUTE IS ARBITRATED, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST FACILITY ENTITIES INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THIS INCLUDES GIVING UP YOUR RIGHTS TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AS SET FORTH IN ANY STATE STATUTE.
Choice of Law; Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. To the maximum extent permitted by law, these Terms are governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of in which the care was provided, excluding any law or conflicts of law principle that would apply the law of another jurisdiction. To the extent a Dispute is not governed by the Arbitration Clause, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in the state and city in which the care was provided in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Site or under these Terms; provided, however, that in the event Facility is sued or joined by a third party in any other court or in any other forum in respect of any matter which may give rise to a claim by Facility hereunder, you consent to the jurisdiction of such court or forum over any claim which may be asserted by Facility therein. You irrevocably consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by such courts in any such action. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, you irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that you may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon you and may be enforced in any court in which you are subject to a jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment. Use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms, including without limitation this paragraph. To the extent a claim is not governed by the Arbitration Clause, Facility and you each hereby waive the right to a trial by jury in any court and in any suit, action or proceeding, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise, in which any such party is a party, as to any claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms, your or Facility’s rights and obligations under these Terms, the Site, use of the Site, and/or the services and/or products that may be provided by or through or in connection with the Site.
