XI. DISCLAIMER; LIMITED HEALTH CARE SERVICES
The Website is structured for use specific to certain Health Care Services and is not, and should not, be considered or used as comprehensive medical advice, care, diagnosis or treatment.
Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding general personal health, medical conditions, or drugs or medications, and before commencing or discontinuing any course of treatment, drug or medication.
Any physician-patient or other provider-patient relationship is solely between you and the Provider Group who delivers Health Care Services to you.
XII. TELEHEALTH CONSENT
You understand that Telegra does not own the Provider Groups and does not employ or in any way supervise or control the Provider Groups in rendering care. Through its technology platform, Telegra facilitates the provision of telehealth services but it is not itself, a source of healthcare, medical advice, or care. This Consent is effective and binding across all telehealth sessions or services rendered by the Provider Groups via Telegra’s technology platform.
Telehealth or telemedicine (the terms will be used interchangeably throughout this Consent) involves the use of electronic communications, information technology, or other means to enable a healthcare provider and a patient at different locations to communicate and share individual patient health information for the purpose of rendering health care services. Telehealth or telemedicine may be used for assessment, treatment, diagnosis, prescription, follow-up, and/or patient education. This Consent informs you concerning the treatment methods, risks, and limitations of using a telehealth platform.
a) Electronic Transmissions. The types of electronic transmissions that may occur using the telehealth platform include, but are not limited to:
i. Completion, exchange, and review of relevant medical information (for example: health records; images; output data from medical devices; sound and video files; diagnostic and/or lab test results) between you and a healthcare provider via: asynchronous or synchronous communications; two-way interactive audio; and/or two-way interactive audio and video interaction;
ii. Treatment recommendations by a healthcare provider based upon such review and exchange of clinical information;
iii. Delivery of a consultation report with a diagnosis, treatment and/or prescriptions, as deemed medically relevant;
iv. Prescription refill reminders (if applicable); and/or
v. Other electronic transmissions for the purpose of rendering health care services to you.
b) Recording. With this consent, the telehealth session may be recorded for quality review, operations, training, research, and safety purposes.
c) Benefits. Telehealth provides an array of benefits to you, including
i. improved access to healthcare providers by allowing you to consult a provider from your home or office; and
ii. improved efficiency for access to medical evaluation and management.
d) Risks. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine. These risks may include, without limitation, the following:
i. Technical problems: digital issues such as video quality, sound quality, or connectivity issues that may require an encounter to be rescheduled;
ii. Although measures are in place to prevent a breach of privacy, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information; and/or
iii. Provider’s inability to conduct a hands-on physical examination of you and your condition.
e) Patient Acknowledgments. You further acknowledge and understand the following:
i. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, you will be directed to dial 9-1-1 immediately and the provider is not able to connect you directly to any local emergency services.
ii. You have the right to withhold or withdraw your consent to the use of telehealth in the course of your care at any time without affecting your right to future care or treatment.
iii. Federal and state law requires health care providers to protect the privacy and security of health information. You are entitled to all confidentiality protections under applicable federal and state laws. You understand all medical reports resulting from the telehealth visit are part of your medical record.
iv. Any provider’s advice, recommendations, and/or decisions may be based on factors not within his/her control, including incomplete or inaccurate data provided by you. You understand that the provider only relies on information provided by you during our telehealth encounter and that you must provide information about your medical history, condition(s), and current or previous medical care that is complete and accurate to the best of your ability. You also understand that the provider may not have access to your full medical record or information.
v. A healthcare provider will provide care consistent with the prevailing standards of medical practice but makes no assurances or guarantees as to the results of treatment.
vi. There is no guarantee that all treatment of all patients will be effective.
vii. The laws of the state in which you are located will apply to your receipt of telehealth services.
viii. You have the right to review and receive copies of your medical records, including all information obtained during a telehealth interaction, subject to our standard policies regarding request and receipt of medical records and applicable law.
ix. The telehealth services are not a replacement for your primary care physician or annual office check-ups. Should you desire to seek in-office care through other providers, including your primary care physician, you can do so.
x. Neither Telegra nor the Provider Groups are online pharmacies. Telegra does not control or supervise any prescription decision made by the Provider Groups.
xi. Any prescription obtained through the Telegra platform prescribed by the Provider Group will be used only for its intended use.
xii. Neither Telegra nor the Provider Groups guarantee that a specific medication will be prescribed if requested.
xiii. You hereby release and hold harmless Telegra and the Provider Groups from any loss of data or information due to technical failures associated with the telehealth/telemedicine service.
xiv. You will be given information about test(s) and treatments(s), as applicable, including the benefits, risks, possible problems or complications, and alternate choices for your medical care through the telehealth/telemedicine visit.
xv. Failure to comply with the terms of this Consent may result in the termination of your ability to use the telehealth services.
f) Consent to Email, Cellular Telephone, or Text Usage for Healthcare Communications. If at any time you provide an email address or cellphone number at which you may be contacted, you consent to receiving unsecure instructions and other healthcare communications at the email or text address you have provided or Telegra or the Provider Groups have obtained, at any text number forwarded, or transferred from that number. These instructions may include, but are not limited to: follow-up instructions, educational information, and prescription information. Note: You may opt out of these communications at any time. Neither Telegra nor the Provider Groups charge a separate fee for these communications, but standard text messaging rates or cellular telephone minutes may apply as provided in your wireless plan (contact your carrier for pricing plans and details). You are responsible for notifying us of any change to your email address or mobile number. These communications are not monitored 24/7 and must not be used for emergencies or urgent health issues.
g) Duration. This consent will remain fully effective until it is revoked.
h) Patient Consent to the Use of Telemedicine. You have read and understand the information provided above and understand the risks and benefits of telemedicine services. By accepting these terms, you hereby give consent to telehealth as an acceptable form of delivering healthcare services and that this consent will cover any and all of your sessions using telehealth.
XIII. PAYMENT
When you submit Your Information for Health Care Services, you agree to pay all fees due. You will see a prompt for your payment details, such as your credit card information and any promotional codes you may have. By entering your payment information and submitting your request, you authorize us, our affiliates, or our third-party payment processors to charge the amount due. If you receive a medical consultation, medical consult fees are not subject to or eligible for a refund. We cannot accept returns of prescription products for reuse or resale, and all sales are final. However, if you believe we have made an error in the filling of your prescription, please message us through your Telegra account.
You understand and agree that you are responsible for all fees due to receive the Services, including any fees charged by the Provider Groups. Amounts collected by Telegra may include amounts due to the Provider Groups for Health Care Services and amounts due to Telegra for the Services. Telegra acts as a limited payment collection agent for the Provider Groups solely for purposes of collecting payments from you on their behalf. In the event that your credit card expires or Telegra, our affiliates, or our third-party payment processors are unable to process your payment, you may receive notice for you to provide an alternative payment method. Telegra and/or the Provider Groups have no obligation to provide any Services or Health Care Services unless and until full payment has been received and/or verified. Please note that professional services delivered as part of the Health Care Services are not likely to be covered by any government health care payors, and, as such, you understand that no such claims will be submitted by Telegra or our affiliates for coverage of the professional services.
XIV. PRIVACY
You understand that the Website gathers unique information from you to enable the Provider Groups to provide the Health Care Services, including applicable health information (such as your past and present health conditions, medications, and blood pressure), diagnostic tests, as applicable, and personal information (such as your name, location, and demographic information) (collectively, “Your Information”). Telegra understands the importance of confidentiality and privacy regarding Your Information. Please see our Privacy Policy for a description of how we may collect, use and disclose Your Information in connection with the Website.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND SUBJECT TO THIS SECTION, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF TELEGRA AND ITS RELATED PERSONS FOR ANY CLAIMS UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED U.S. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00 USD). NOTE THAT SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY OR MAY PLACE LIMITATIONS ON OUR ABILITY TO LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU, SO THE FOREGOING LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
XIX. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Telegra and any of its Related Persons, licensors, and suppliers harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, liabilities, costs or expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising from or related to: (i) any breach by you of these Terms, (ii) your use of material or features available on the Website in an unauthorized manner, and/or (iii) a violation by you of any and all applicable laws, rules, or regulations.

XXI. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION RIGHTS
The Terms will remain in full force and effect as long as you continue to access or use the Website. You may terminate the Terms at any time by discontinuing use of the Website. Your permission to use the Website automatically terminates if you violate these Terms. We may terminate or suspend any of the rights granted by these Terms and your access to our Website with or without prior notice, at any time, and for any reason. The following provisions survive the expiration or termination of these Terms for any reason whatsoever: Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability; Indemnification; Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, Class Action Waiver; and Miscellaneous.
Subject to applicable law, Telegra reserves the right to maintain, delete or destroy all communications and materials posted or uploaded to the Website pursuant to its internal record retention and/or content destruction policies. After any termination, Telegra will have no further obligation to provide the Services, except to the extent we or the Provider Groups are obligated to provide you access to your health records or required to provide continuing care under applicable legal, ethical, or professional obligations.
XXII. GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND TELEGRA TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM TELEGRA.
a) Governing Law. The Website is controlled and operated by us from the United States and is not intended to subject us to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than that of the United States. These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Washington without regard to conflicts of law principles.
b) Arbitration Agreement. You and Telegra agree that all claims and disputes relating in any way to your use of our Website, or arising out of or in connection with these Terms, shall be resolved by binding arbitration, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, on an individual basis, except for disputes which can be resolved in small claims court, any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents, or any dispute already pending at the time you first agree to these Terms. You also agree that any arbitration will take place in Kennewick, Washington, or another mutually agreeable location, or a location ordered by the arbitrator.
c) Waiver of Jury Trial. IN THE EVENT ARBITRATION IS CONTRARY TO APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND TELEGRA WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Telegra are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration is the referral of a claim or dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the claim or dispute and making a final binding determination to resolve it instead of having it decided by a judge or jury in court. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
d) No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions, or Representative Actions. YOU AND TELEGRA AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS OR OTHER TYPE OF REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, WHETHER WITHIN OR OUTSIDE OF ARBITRATION, OR ON BEHALF OF ANY INDIVIDUAL OR OTHER GROUP. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND TELEGRA AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S) OR DISPUTE. ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER TELEGRA USERS.
e) Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute resolution provision. Any arbitration between you and Telegra will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available at www.adr.org.
XXIII. MISCELLANEOUS
The Terms set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof. These Terms are not intended to, and do not, limit any non-waivable rights you may have under applicable law. If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms shall remain in full force and effect. Headings are for reference only and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or extent of such section. Our failure to act with respect to any failure by you or others to comply with these Terms does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar failures. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, and any assignment or transfer in violation of this provision shall be null and void.
XXIV. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS
Telegra reserves the right to remove any content or any other material or information available on or through our Website, at any time, for any reason. Telegra otherwise complies with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) applicable to Internet service providers (17 U.S.C. § 512, as amended), and responds to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. This Section XXIV describes the procedure that should be followed to file a notification of alleged copyright infringement with Telegra.

i. An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right being infringed;
ii. An identification of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
iii. An identification of the content or material that you claim is infringing and where it is located on our Website;

XXV. INSURANCE OR OTHER MEDICAL COVERAGE
The provision of Health Care Services by the health professionals and Provider Groups is not a substitute for health insurance or other health plan coverage (such as membership in an HMO).

You are solely responsible for determining whether any payments you make are eligible for reimbursement or tax-advantaged treatment.
