MANDATORY ARBITRATION NOTICE AND CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. These Terms contain a mandatory (binding) arbitration provision and class action and jury trial waiver clauses. Except for certain types of disputes described in the arbitration section below or where prohibited by applicable law, you agree that disputes between you and us regarding your use of the Site or Services will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration and you waive your right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration, including as a class representative. The arbitrator’s decision will be subject to very limited review by a court. You will be entitled to a fair hearing, but the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. For more details, see below.

We may make changes to the content available on the Site at any time. We can change, update, add, or remove provisions of these Terms at any time by posting the updated Terms on the Site. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of any material changes to these Terms; however, we are not obligated to. You waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes to these Terms except for changes to our agreement to arbitration, which is discussed more fully below. By using the Site after we have updated the Terms, you are agreeing to the then-current Terms. You are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms.

In addition to these Terms, your use of certain Services may be governed by additional agreements.

We will not be liable if, for any reason, all or any part of the Site is unavailable at any time or for any period. We also reserve the right to change the prices or specifications of Services at any time without any notice or liability to you or any other person; any such price change shall not require customer or patient approval. From time to time, in our sole discretion and without notice, we may restrict access to some parts of the Site, or the entire Site, to users, including registered users.

4. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS RELATED TO THE SERVICES

FAVORITE FAMILY DOC is a telehealth company. In some cases, a FAVORITE FAMILY DOC physician or affiliated health care provider (“Providers”) may use the Services to provide advice or treatment to you. The Provider conducting the consultation determines the scope of services for diagnosis, treatment, and care. You understand, agree, and acknowledge that the Services may not be the appropriate solution for all health care needs and that the Services may not be appropriate for every particular situation and/or may not be a complete substitute for a face-to-face examination and/or care in every particular situation.

A Provider consulting with you through the Services may not have the benefit of information that would be obtained by examining you in person and observing your physical condition. Therefore, the Provider may not be aware of facts or information that may affect his or her opinion regarding a potential diagnosis or treatment recommendation. To reduce the risk to you of this limitation, FAVORITE FAMILY DOC strongly encourages you to provide all relevant information and discuss any and all diagnosis and treatment options with your Provider.

By deciding to engage with the Services, you acknowledge and agree that you are aware of these limitations and agree to assume the risk of these limitations. Furthermore, you agree and accept that: (i) any diagnosis you may receive is limited and, in some cases, provisional; (ii) the health care services are not intended, in all cases, to replace a full medical evaluation or an in-person visit with a healthcare provider; (iii) a Provider acting through the Services may not have important information that is usually obtained through a “hands-on” physical examination; and (iv) the absence of a physical examination may affect the health care provider’s ability to diagnose any potential condition, disease or injury.

Our role is limited to making certain telehealth related information available to you and helping facilitate your access to telemedicine and medical services. FAVORITE FAMILY DOC is independent from Providers and is not responsible for such Providers’ acts, communications, or any content provided by them.

We do not engage in the practice of medicine. We do not provide medical advice. The decision to follow treatment recommendations rests with you and your Provider. By accessing, using, or browsing the Site or Services or providing medical history, you do not create a physician-patient or healthcare provider-patient relationship between you and FAVORITE FAMILY DOC or any of our employees and/or affiliates. Please consult your doctor or other qualified healthcare provider if you have any questions about a medical condition. Call 911 for all medical emergencies. FAVORITE FAMILY DOC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY ADVICE, COURSE OF TREATMENT, DIAGNOSIS OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION, SERVICES OR PRODUCTS THAT YOU MAY OBTAIN THROUGH THE SITE.
