Terms of Service
IF YOU HAVE, OR ARE HAVING, A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM (E.G., CALL 911) OR YOUR PROVIDER OR GO TO YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY ROOM.
Medisprout, Inc. (“us” or “we”) provides proprietary application software, a website, a mobile app, a portal, technology infrastructure and, if and when available, data storage platforms and infrastructure for the transmission, receipt and retrieval of data (which, together with related documentation, is referred to as the “Platform”) and through the Platform, various services (the “Services”). A health care provider, facility or other healthcare organization (“Facility”), patient or other authorized person (“Authorized User”) may use the Platform and Services, and a health care provider, Facility, patient or Authorized User who uses the Platform or Services is referred to as “you”. A health care provider selected by a patient or Facility to provide health care services through the Platform is referred to as “your Provider”. The use of audio or video for communication (and, in connection with that audio or video, other electronic means of communication) between health care providers, Facilities, patients or Authorized Users with respect to health care is referred to as “Telemedicine”. For avoidance of doubt, the capitalized word “Services” as used in this Agreement refers only to the Services we provide and does not refer to the consultations, treatment or other health care services that are provided by health care providers, Facilities or Authorized Users of the Platform or Services.
The Platform and Services are designed to offer general information, a means to enable Telemedicine consultations and treatment for common medical conditions or other health care related matters, and if and when available, integrated communications (in Telemedicine or in-person settings) and data (including protected health information (“PHI”) as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, and associated regulations, as amended from time to time (“HIPAA”)), transmission, reception, access and storage as a means to facilitate Telemedicine and in-person consultations and treatment for medical conditions or other health care related matters.
Use of the Platform and Services is governed by these Terms of Service (sometimes referred to as this “Agreement”). Your use of the Platform and the Services constitutes your acceptance of this Agreement. Your use of the Platform and the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy. Please review this policy so you understand what information we collect, how we use it, how we secure it, and when we may share it (available at medisprout.com/privacy). If you do not agree with this Agreement or our Privacy Policy, you must immediately cease all use of and access to the Platform and Services.
BY DOWNLOADING, ACCESSING, OR USING THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES, YOU ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, OUR PRIVACY POLICY AND ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT ARE REFERENCED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THAT OTHERWISE MAY APPLY TO SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES (ALL OF WHICH ARE TREATED AS PART OF THIS AGREEMENT). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT USE THE PLATFORM OR THE SERVICES.
If you are using the Platform or Services on behalf of an individual or entity other than yourself, you represent that you are authorized by such individual or entity to accept this Agreement on such individual’s or entity’s behalf.
We may change this Agreement at any time. If we make any changes to this Agreement, we will update the “Last Revised” date at the bottom of this Agreement, post a notice on the Platform regarding the revised Agreement, and require that you acknowledge your agreement to the revised Agreement prior to being able to continue using the Platform and Services. Your use of the Platform and the Services following any change means that you accept and agree to be bound by the revised Agreement. If you do not agree with the revised Agreement, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue your use of the Platform and Services, and you will be deemed to have terminated this Agreement. (See “Modifications to, or Discontinuation of, the Platform or the Services; Termination”, below.)
Jurisdictional and age issues
We intend to provide the Platform and Services in the United States. Accordingly, this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws, with substantive rights in patents, copyrights, federal trademarks and federal trade secrets governed by the laws of the United States, and local law if applicable. We do not represent or warrant that the Platform, the Services or any functionality or feature of the Platform or Services, is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. If you choose to access or use the Platform or Services from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for complying with all relevant laws, rules and regulations. By using the Platform or Services, you acknowledge that the Platform and the Services are subject to the laws of New York and the United States as provided above which may differ from the law in the country from which you are using the Platform or Services.
To use the Platform and Services, you must be at least 18 years of age and reside in a jurisdiction in which we offer the Platform and Services. If you reside in a jurisdiction that restricts the use of the Platform or Services because of age, or restricts the ability to enter into contracts such as this Agreement due to age, you must abide by such age limits and you must not use the Platform or Services. By using the Platform and Services, you represent that you are of legal age to enter into a binding contract.
Use of the Platform and Services
For a health care provider or Facility to use the Platform and Services with a patient, Facility or Authorized User, the health care provider or Facility must first have a Subscription Agreement with us and then create an account in accordance with the instructions the health care provider or Facility receives from us. The health care provider or Facility may from time to time authorize its administrators and schedulers to use the Platform and Services (or remove such authorization) in accordance with those instructions.
For a patient to use the Platform, the patient must first create an account with a user name and password. The patient will then receive instructions from us on how to use the Platform and Services, such as how to access health care providers and Facilities who have Subscription Agreements with us. Depending on the availability and the patient’s selection of Services, the patient may need to acknowledge that he or she has read and agreed to our policies regarding the use of PHI and authorize actions that we may take with regard to his or her PHI and to aggregated, de-identified, anonymized health information.
If you are a patient, please be aware that health care providers and Facilities which are listed in the Platform are not obligated to provide you with health care services you might want to receive. We make no representation or warranty that a health care provider or Facility will be available to perform the health care services you would like.
We are not engaged in the practice of medicine or any other licensed profession. Neither we nor the Platform provides medical services or advice or is a health care provider and the Services are not medical services. No licensed medical or other professional/patient relationship is created between us and you by your using the Platform or Services.
Neither we nor the Platform or Services interferes with the practice of medicine or any other licensed profession by any health care provider or Facility, which is solely responsible for his, her or its services and compliance with the requirements applicable to his, her or its profession and license. The health care provider or Facility with which a patient establishes a relationship is solely responsible for providing the patient with medical or other professional services and for deciding that the Platform and Services are an appropriate vehicle for providing the provider’s or Facility’s services. The Platform and Services act only as a technology channel.
You represent and warrant that the information you provide to us is accurate and complete. You acknowledge and agree that we are entitled at all times to verify the information you provided to us and, subject to the terms of your subscription agreement with us if you are a health care provider or Facility, to deny you use of the Platform or the Services at any time for any reason or no reason.
You may only access the Platform or the Services using authorized means. It is your responsibility to check to ensure you correctly download the Platform for your device. We are not liable if you do not have a compatible device or if you download the wrong version of the Platform for your device.

- You will only use the Platform and the Services for your sole, individual use and you will not resell them to a third party;

- You will not collect or disclose information about users of the Platform and Services except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or, in the case of a health care provider, Facility or Authorized User, only to the extent necessary to perform professional services;

Without limitation of our other rights and remedies, we may (but are not obligated to) restrict, terminate or prohibit use of or access to the Platform or Services, or the communications or data processed or transmitted through the Platform or by the Services, by a health care provider, Facility, patient or Authorized User if we reasonably suspect that the use of or access to the Platform or Services by the health care provider, Facility, patient or Authorized User is not in compliance with this Agreement, the documentation included within the Platform or applicable laws or regulations, or otherwise threatens the Platform or Services or the communications or data processed or transmitted through the Platform. However, we will have no liability if we do not restrict or prohibit such use or access.
We are not responsible for (a) the accuracy and completeness of professional advice or of patient data provided by a health care provider, Facility, patient, Authorized User or third party in its use of the Platform or Services, (b) the performance of the information technology systems of a health care provider, Facility, patient, Authorized User or third party, (c) any data or information provided or obtained by a health care provider, Facility, patient, Authorized User or third party through the Platform and Services, including but not limited to any treatment recommendations or decisions made by a health care provider, Facility, patient or Authorized User or reliance on patient data obtained through the Platform or Services, (d) any act and omission of a health care provider, Facility, patient, Authorized User or third party in connection with its use of the Platform and Services, (e) the accuracy, quality, content, integrity and legality of the relationships and communications among a health care provider, Facility, patient, Authorized User or third party when using the Platform and Services, or (f) the decision by a health care provider, Facility, patient, Authorized User or authorized user that the use of the Platform or Services is appropriate for communication between or among them or for the evaluation of a patient.
Payment
We do not charge a patient to download the Platform on the patient’s mobile device or computer, to create an account, to review the health care providers and Facilities listed in the Platform, to schedule a Telemedicine visit with a listed health care provider or Facility or to have a Telemedicine visit with a listed health care provider or Facility. We reserve the right to charge a fee in the future for any of these items. If we decide to introduce such a fee and a patient has an account with us, we will inform the patient and allow the patient to either continue or discontinue using the Platform. We may in the future make certain Services available to patients and, if we do, we may charge a fee for these Services.
We charge a health care provider or Facility a fee for use of the Platform and Services by it and its patients and Authorized Users.
Fees payable to us are in consideration for use of the Platform or Services and are not for the provision of medical or other professional services.
Your Provider sets his or her own fees for professional services rendered, and your Provider determines whether to accept any particular insurance plans. It is a patient’s responsibility to remain informed about the current fees charged by your Provider and the insurance plans (if any) accepted by your Provider.
If you are a health care provider or Facility, you will pay for use of the Platform and, if applicable, Services provided by us in accordance with your subscription agreement with us. Unless otherwise provided in your subscription agreement, you are responsible for the timely payment of all fees and for maintaining with us at all times a valid credit or debit card account for payment of our fees. In addition, if the credit or debit card account you have provided is not valid or any credit or debit card payment is rejected or denied, we will charge you an additional administrative or similar fee in accordance with your Subscription Agreement. Any payment made is non-refundable.
We use a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to link us to your credit or debit card account. The processing of payments or credits in connection with your use of the Platform and Services will also be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor and your credit or debit card issuer in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for any errors by the Payment Processor or your credit or debit card issuer. In connection with your use of the Platform and Services, we will obtain certain transaction details, which we will use solely in accordance with our Privacy Policy which is available at Medisprout.com/privacy.
We are not responsible for processing insurance claims on your behalf.
