If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.

3. Accounts and Registration. To access most features of the Service, you must register for an account.

3.1      Able. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as your name, email address, or other contact information. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate, complete, and not misleading, and that you will keep it accurate and up to date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to create a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you should reset your password and create a new one.

3.2     Fullscript. By agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth by Able, you, the user, acknowledge and accept that a Fullscript account will be automatically created for you upon your registration with Able. This account allows you to access the Able Fullscript plans, which are developed and overseen by Able's Medical Director. This is intended to enhance the quality of your interaction with Able's health services. By using Able's services, you consent to this automatic creation and the respective terms associated with having a Fullscript account.

You are under no obligation to use this Fullscript account. However, if you wish to utilize any of the Able Fullscript plans, recommended by Able's Medical Director, we highly advise you to consult with your primary care doctor or appropriate healthcare professional first. This is to ensure that the selected plan is suitable and safe for your specific health needs and circumstances. Able is committed to your wellness but emphasizes the crucial role of your existing health care provider in any decision related to your health and well-being.

4. General Payment Terms. Certain features of the Service may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are non-refundable unless otherwise specifically provided for in these Terms.

4.1       Price. Able reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. Able will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the Service up to date. We encourage you to check our pricing page periodically for current pricing information. Able may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges, if Able gives you advance notice of changes before they apply. Able, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of Able’s customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or these Terms.

4.2       Authorization. You authorize Able to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any level of Service you select as described in these Terms or published by Able, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, then Able may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.  

4.3       Subscription Service. The Service may include certain subscription-based plans with automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. The Subscription Service will begin on the Subscription Billing Date and continue for the subscription period that you select on your account (such period, the “Initial Subscription Period”), and will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration as the Initial Subscription Period (the Initial Subscription Period and each such renewal period, each a “Subscription Period”) unless you cancel the Subscription Service or we terminate it. If you activate a Subscription Service, then you authorize Able or its third-party payment processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of the Subscription Service, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date. The applicable subscription fee (“Subscription Fee”) will be displayed at the time you select and purchase your subscription, and may be updated from time to time by posting on the Service or contacting you via the Service or via your registered account email address (provided no price changes will take effect until the next renewal after such change takes effect). Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date and thereafter on the renewal date of your Subscription Service for all applicable fees and taxes for the next Subscription Period. Able or its third-party payment processor will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method associated with your account or that you otherwise provide to us. You may cancel the Subscription Service by following the steps listed here or by contacting us as set forth here. YOUR CANCELLATION MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE THE RENEWAL DATE IN ORDER TO AVOID CHARGE FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD. 

4.4       Prescription Services. Unless stated otherwise in any return or refund policy presented to you, you accept and recognize that because of the nature of the medical products and services available for purchase, any fees and charges are non-refundable. You are responsible for all charges to your account, including unauthorized charges. WE CANNOT ISSUE PARTIAL/ FULL REFUNDS OR ACCEPT RETURNS OF ANY PRESCRIPTION PRODUCTS FOR REUSE OR RESALE, AND ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

 4.5       Delinquent Accounts. Able may suspend or terminate access to the Service, including fee-based portions of the Service, for any account for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Service, a delinquent account will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or collection of any unpaid amount, including collection fees. If your payment method is no longer valid at the time a renewal Subscription Fee is due, then Able reserves the right to delete your account and any information or User Content (defined below) associated with your account without any liability to you. 

4.6       Free Trials. We may from time to time offer free trials to Subscription Services at our discretion (and we may withdraw this offer at any time). A free trial will automatically renew as a paid Subscription Service unless the free trial is cancelled in accordance with these Terms before the end of the free trial period. It may take at least up to 3 business days to cancel a free trial, although we will attempt to process cancellations more quickly where possible. If you request a cancellation of a free trial through the designated channels before the end of your free trial but are still charged, please contact us and if we can verify timely receipt of your cancellation request we will refund you.

(a)        an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other right being infringed;

(b)        a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property right that you claim has been infringed;

(d)        your address, telephone number, and email address;

(e)        a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of the materials on the Service of which you are complaining is not authorized by the copyright or other intellectual property right owner, its agent, or the law; and

 (f)         a statement by you that the above information in your notice is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright or other intellectual property right owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf. 

 Your Notification of Claimed Infringement may be shared by Able with the user alleged to have infringed a right you own or control as well as with the operators of publicly available databases that track notifications of claimed infringement, and you consent to Able making such disclosures. You should consult with your own lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm your obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement. 

10.4    Repeat Infringers. Able’s policy is to: (a) remove or disable access to material that Able believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property rights owner or authorized agent, is infringing the intellectual property rights of a third party by being made available through the Service; and (b) in appropriate circumstances, to terminate the accounts of and block access to the Service by any user who repeatedly or egregiously infringes other people’s copyright or other intellectual property rights. Able reserves the right, however, to suspend or terminate accounts of users in our sole discretion. 

10.5    Counter Notification. If you receive a notification from Able that material made available by you on or through the Service has been the subject of a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then you will have the right to provide Able with what is called a “Counter Notification.” To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing, provided to Able’s Designated Agent through one of the methods identified in Section 10.2, and include substantially the following information:

(a)        your physical or electronic signature;

(b)        identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;

(c)         a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and

(d)        your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if you are residing outside of the United States, then for any judicial district in which Able may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under Section 10.2 above or an agent of that person. 

 

1.        A party submitting a Counter Notification should consult a lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm the party’s obligations to provide a valid counter notification under the Copyright Act. 

10.6    Reposting of Content Subject to a Counter Notification. If you submit a Counter Notification to Able in response to a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then Able will promptly provide the person who provided the Notification of Claimed Infringement with a copy of your Counter Notification and inform that person that Able will replace the removed User Content or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days, and Able will replace the removed User Content and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless Able’s Designated Agent receives notice from the party that submitted the Notification of Claimed Infringement that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on Able’s system or network.

10.7    False Notifications of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notifications. The Copyright Act provides at 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) that: “[a]ny person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section 512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, will be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of Able relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.” Able reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a Notification of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notification in violation of the law.

15.2    EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 16.5 AND 16.6 AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE ABLE ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (a) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO ABLE FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (b) US$100.

 15.3    EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 15 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

16.       Dispute Resolution and Arbitration 

 16.1    Generally. Except as described in Section 16.2 and 16.3, you and Able agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND ABLE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

16.2    Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim. 

16.3    Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 16 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to the applicable entity’s address set forth in Section 17.1, Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Able receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 16 will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 17.3. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice. 

16.4    Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by JAMS (“JAMS”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “JAMS Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The JAMS Rules and filing forms are available online at jamsadr.com, by calling JAMS at +1-800-352-5267, or by contacting Able. 

16.5    Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Able’s address is as set forth for the applicable entity in Section 17.1. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Able may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Able will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if the Company has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the JAMS Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to JAMS. 

16.6    Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your billing address unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Able must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. 

16.7    Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in Section 16.8, the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brough in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Able before an arbitrator was selected, Able will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US $1,000. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. 

16.8    No Class Actions. YOU AND ABLE 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 Able agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. 

16.9    Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Able makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Able’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Able will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive. 

16.10  Enforceability. If Section 16.8 or the entirety of this Section 16 is found to be unenforceable, or if Able receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 16 will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 17.3 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

19.        Informed Consent of Telehealth Services Performed by Telegra MD

Telemedicine involves the use of electronic communications to enable healthcare providers at different locations to share individual patient medical information for the purpose of improving patient care. Providers may include primary care practitioners, specialists, and/or subspecialists. The information may be used for diagnosis, therapy, follow-up and/or education, and may include any of the following:

  • Patient medical records
  • Medical images
  • Live two-way messaging, audio and video
  • Output data from medical devices and sound and video files

Electronic systems used will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of patient identification and imaging data and will include measures to safeguard the data and to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption.

Responsibility for the patient care should remain with the patient’s local clinician, if you have one, as does the patient’s medical record.

Expected Benefits:

  • Improved access to medical care by enabling a patient to remain in his/her local healthcare site (i.e. home) while the physician consults and obtains test results at distant/other sites.
  • More efficient medical evaluation and management.
  • Obtaining expertise of a specialist.

Possible Risks: As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine. These risks include, but may not be limited to:

  • In rare cases, the consultant may determine that the transmitted information is of inadequate quality, thus necessitating a face-to-face meeting with the patient, or at least a rescheduled video consult;
  • Delays in medical evaluation and treatment could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment;
  • In very rare instances, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information;
  • In rare cases, a lack of access to complete medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors
You acknowledge that you understand and agree with the following:
  1. I understand that the laws that protect privacy and the confidentiality of medical information also apply to telemedicine, and that no information obtained in the use of telemedicine, which identifies me, will be disclosed to researchers or other entities without my written consent.
  2. I understand that I have the right to withhold or withdraw my consent to the use of telemedicine in the course of my care at any time, without affecting my right to future care or treatment.
  3. I understand the alternatives to telemedicine consultation as they have been explained to me, and in choosing to participate in a telemedicine consultation, I understand that some parts of the exam involving physical tests may be conducted by individuals at my location, or at a testing facility, at the direction of the consulting healthcare provider.
  4. I understand that telemedicine may involve electronic communication of my personal medical information to other medical practitioners who may be located in other areas, including out of state.
  5. I understand that I may expect the anticipated benefits from the use of telemedicine in my care, but that no results can be guaranteed or assured.
  6. I understand that my healthcare information may be shared with other individuals for scheduling and billing purposes. Others may also be present during the consultation other than my healthcare provider and consulting healthcare provider in order to operate the video equipment. The above mentioned people will all maintain confidentiality of the information obtained. I further understand that I will be informed of their presence in the consultation and thus will have the right to request the following: (1) omit specific details of my medical history/physical examination that are personally sensitive to me; (2) ask non-medical personnel to leave the telemedicine examination room; and/or (3) terminate the consultation at any time.
Patient Consent To The Use of Telemedicine

I have read and understand the information provided above regarding telemedicine, have discussed it with my physician or such assistants as may be designated, and all of my questions have been answered to my satisfaction.

I have read and understand the risks and benefits of the teleconferencing consultation and have had my questions regarding the procedure explained and I hereby give my informed consent to participate in a telemedicine visit under the terms described herein.
