By clicking “Accept” or something similar, or accessing or using (or continuing to use) the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read in its entirety, understand, and fully accept all terms and conditions contained in these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, and the Notice of Privacy Practices provided to you by Medical Group. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, you are not authorized to and must cease any access to or use of our Platform and/or the Services.
ARBITRATION NOTICE. THESE TERMS OF USE CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER IN SECTION 24 (THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”) THAT REQUIRE, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT PURSUANT TO THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US, INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS THAT AROSE OR WERE ASSERTED BEFORE YOU AGREED TO THESE TERMS OF USE.

1. Services Provided – No Medical Care or Advice
Ophelia Health is not a medical group and does not provide medical advice, care, and/or treatment.
Ophelia Health provides administrative and management services to independent, physician-owned and operated, medical practices. Any telemedicine consults obtained through our Platform are provided by Providers. Ophelia Health licenses the “Ophelia Health” brand name to Medical Group, which uses our Platform to assist in the provision of Services. Each Ophelia Health-branded practice is owned and operated by a licensed physician. There is no single provider of medical care called “Ophelia Health.” Each Ophelia Health-branded practice engages a network of United States based clinicians who provide clinical telehealth services.
The Providers deliver clinical services via the Platform to their patients. Ophelia Health does not (a) provide medical advice or care, (b) own or operate the Medical Group or any other medical practices, or (c) employ or in any way supervise the Providers or any other clinicians providing medical care. Control over the care provided to you is the sole responsibility of the Medical Group and its Providers. Services and practices may vary across Providers, and you should contact your Provider directly for all questions concerning your medical care.
2. Not For Emergencies
Our Platform and the Services are not for medical emergencies or urgent situations. You should not disregard or delay seeking medical advice based on anything that appears or does not appear on our Platform. If you believe you are experiencing an emergency, call 9-1-1 immediately.
You should seek emergency help or follow up care when recommended by a Provider or when otherwise needed. You should continue to consult with your primary provider and other healthcare professionals as recommended. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider concerning questions you have regarding a medical condition and before stopping, starting, or modifying any treatment.
3. Risk of Telehealth Services
By using the Services, you acknowledge the potential risks associated with telehealth services. These include but are not limited to the following: information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g. poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate medical or health care decision making by the Provider; delays in evaluation or treatment could occur due to failures of electronic equipment; a lack of access to your medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors; and although the electronic systems we use incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information, those protocols could fail causing a breach of privacy of your health information.
4. Privacy Practices
You agree that information provided by you in connection with the Platform and the Services shall be governed by the Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated and made part of these Terms of Use. You also agree that information provided by you in connection with the Services shall also be governed by the applicable Medical Group Notice of Privacy Practices, which is hereby incorporated and made part of these Terms of Use.
5. Prescription Policy
Certain products available through the Platform require a valid prescription by a licensed healthcare provider. You will not be able to obtain a prescription product through the Platform unless you have completed a consultation with one of the Providers through the Platform, the Provider has determined the prescription product is appropriate for you, and the Provider has written a prescription.
If a Provider determines a prescription product is appropriate for you and writes a prescription, you may fill the prescription at any pharmacy of your choice as prompted during your use of the Services.
You agree that any prescriptions that you acquire from a Provider will be solely for your personal use. You agree to fully and carefully read all provided product information and labels and to contact a physician or pharmacist if you have any questions regarding the prescription. We fully honor patient freedom of choice and, if you receive a prescription for a medication, you always have the option to instruct your Provider to transmit that prescription to the pharmacy of your choice.
6. Not an Insurance Product
We are not an insurer, nor do we offer an insurance plan or product. The amounts you pay to us for any Services obtained through the Platform are not insurance premiums. If you desire any type of health or other insurance, you will need to purchase such insurance separately.

21. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement
We will try to work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with the Platform, including products and services ordered or purchased through the Platform, if you bring that issue to the attention of our customer service department. However, we realize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to a customer's satisfaction.
You and Ophelia Health agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use or your use of the Platform, including products and services ordered or purchased through the Platform, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than bringing a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in court, however, we agree to cooperate with each other to agree to reasonable discovery in light of the issues involved and amount of the claim. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, but in so doing, the arbitrator shall apply substantive law regarding damages as if the matter had been brought in court, including without limitation, the law on punitive damages as applied by the United States Supreme Court.
You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Ophelia Health are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and any other contractual relationship between you and Ophelia Health.
If you are a new user, you can reject and opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement within thirty (30) days of accepting these Terms of Use by contacting us with your first and last name and stating your intent to opt-out of the Arbitration Agreement. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement does not affect the binding nature of any other part of these Terms of Use, including the provisions regarding controlling law or in which courts any disputes must be brought.
If you desire to assert a claim against Ophelia Health, and you therefore elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to Ophelia Health, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim ("Notice"). The Notice to Ophelia Health should be addressed to: Ophelia Health, Inc., Attn: Legal, 228 Park Ave S, Suite 15314, New York, NY 10003 ("Notice Address"). If Ophelia Health desires to assert a claim against you and therefore elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Ophelia Health, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Ophelia Health and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Ophelia Health may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Ophelia Health or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after Ophelia Health receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US $10,000. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by requesting them from us by writing to us at the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms of Use. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of these Terms of Use, including this arbitration agreement. Unless Ophelia Health and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. (If you reside outside of the United States, any arbitration hearings will take place in your country of residence at a location reasonably convenient to you, but will remain subject to the AAA Rules including the AAA rules regarding the selection of an arbitrator). If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Ophelia Health’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Ophelia Health did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Ophelia Health will pay you the amount of the award or US $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys' fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for payment or recovery attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
YOU AND OPHELIA HEALTH AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Ophelia Health agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.
If this Agreement to Arbitrate provision is found to be unenforceable, then (a) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts located in and for New York County, New York. Both Ophelia Health and you agree to waive any and all rights to a jury trial in the event this agreement to arbitrate is found to be unenforceable.
22. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Ophelia Health and any affiliates harmless from and against any and all rights, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, claims, causes of action, actions, and suits (no matter whether at law or equity), fees, costs, and attorney’s fees of any kind whatsoever arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with: (i) your use of the Platform, any products or services made available on the Platform, or any information posted on the Platform; (ii) your breach of the Terms of Use; (iii) the content or subject matter of any information you provide to Ophelia Health, Medical Group, your Provider, or a customer service agent; or (iv) any negligent or wrongful act or omission by you in your use of the Platform, any products or services made available on the Platform, or any information on the Platform, including without limitation, infringement of third party intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or negligent or wrongful conduct.
