2. Telehealth and Pharmacy Services
Telehealth Services. Telemedicine involves the delivery of health care services using electronic communications, information technology, or other means between a health care provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location. Telemedicine may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and/or related patient education, and may include, but is not limited to:
• Electronic transmission of medical records, photo images, personal health information, or other data between a patient and health care provider;
• Interactions between a patient and health care provider via audio, video, and/or data communications; and
• Use of output data from medical devices, sound, and video files.
The electronic systems used in the Services will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information and will include measures to safeguard your data to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption or unlawful access. By accepting the Terms of Use, you agree and consent to Alan, the affiliated physician practices, the health care providers contracted or employed by the affiliated physician practices, and any other health care organization(s) or provider(s) with whom we partner to provide the Services to you sending you disclosures, notices, messages, reports, and other communications either in writing or electronically including without limitation through your account or by email. It is your responsibility to monitor these communications. You acknowledge and agree that you will not hold us, any affiliated physician practice, any health care provider contracted or employed by an affiliated physician practice, or any health care organization(s) or provider(s) with whom we partner to offer the Services to you liable for any loss, injury, or claim of any kind resulting from your failure to read these communications or for your failure to comply with any treatment recommendations contained in these communications.

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to us transmitting health and other information to you electronically and that any information sent to or signed by you or us electronically shall be deemed equivalent to as if such information was provided or signed in writing.
Your Relationship with Alan. Alan does not provide any medical services, including via the Services. Rather, Alan provides a technology platform for you to access a health care provider who is employed or contracted with a Alan affiliated physician practice and obtain access to additional information, which you may or may not choose to utilize in planning your health care and wellness. The health and wellness resources made available through our Services are for informational purposes only, and are not a substitute for direct in-person health care services in all cases; nor are they an indicator of specific results. The decision to focus on diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or both, rests with you and the health care provider. You understand that by coordinating and consulting with an affiliated physician practice or its health care providers through the Services, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with Alan. Except for specific communications received from an affiliated physician practice or its health care providers, none of the information you receive through the Services should be considered medical advice.
No Insurance Accepted; Notice of Your Financial Responsibility. Alan and the affiliated physician practices do not accept commercial health insurance plans and are not in-network with any commercial health insurance plans, and are not enrolled with federal or state health care programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. By choosing to use the Services, you are specifically choosing to obtain products and services on a cash-pay basis outside of any commercial health insurance plan or federal or state health care program. Thus, you are solely responsible for the costs of any services or products provided to you. If you are a federal health program beneficiary, you agree that neither you, Alan, the affiliated physician practices, or any of the health care organization(s) or provider(s) with whom we partner to provide health care and pharmacy services to you will submit a claim for reimbursement to any federal or state healthcare program for the costs of the services and products provided to you through the Services. Please also see Section 14 below for additional terms applicable to your payment obligations.
Pharmacy Services. If you receive a prescription as a result of your use of the Services, you will get matched with one of Alan Meds’ partner pharmacies to ship your prescription. If you want to use a pharmacy other than one of Alan Meds’ partner pharmacies, you must email hello@alanmeds.com with your selection. You give us consent to send and disclose to the partner pharmacy or the pharmacy of your choice all information provided by you, health care records, and other applicable health care information and personal information (such as your name, location and demographic information) so that you may receive pharmacy services. If you select to use the Alan's partner pharmacy to fulfill any prescriptions, you acknowledge that your medication will not be shipped in child-resistant packaging and that you must keep it out of the reach of children.

15. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Venue; Severability
IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND ALAN TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM ALAN. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU AND ALAN ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Governing Law. These Terms of Use and your use of the Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws. Subject to the requirement to arbitrate set forth in this Section 16, exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes that do not require arbitration will be the state and federal courts located in New York, New York, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
Binding Arbitration, Generally. Except as described in the "Exceptions" section below, you and Alan agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms of Use, the Services, 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, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation, common law, constitutional provision, respondeat superior, agency or any other legal or equitable theory, regardless of whether a claim arises after the termination of these Terms of Use, and regardless of whether a claim arises before or after the effective date of these Terms of Use. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.
Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms of Use 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) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim; or (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in a state or federal court in New York, New York.
Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, "AAA Rules") as modified by these Terms of Use. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Alan.
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"). Alan's address for Notice is: Alan Health Technologies Inc., 249 Smith St.PMB 3008Brooklyn NY 11231 Attention: General Counsel. A copy of all Notices of Arbitration must also be sent to Alan via email to arbitration-notices@alanmeds.com. 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 Alan may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Alan will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if Alan has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA 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 AAA Rules and Alan may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to AAA.
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 AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Alan 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.
Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in the "No Class Actions" section below, the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
No Class Actions. YOU AND ALAN 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 Alan agree otherwise in writing, 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.
Limited Time to File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR ALAN WANTS TO ASSERT A DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER THAT IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THESE TERMS OF USE, THEN YOU OR ALAN MUST COMMENCE SUCH DISPUTE BY DELIVERY OF A NOTICE OF ARBITRATION WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES -- OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
Severability. All parts of these Terms of Use apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. Alan and you both agree that if we cannot enforce a part of this contract as written, then that part will be replaced with terms that most closely match the intent of the part we cannot enforce, to the extent permitted by law. The invalidity of part of these Terms of Use will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The section headings are for convenience only and do not have any force or effect.
16. Communications by Text Message and Email
By opting-in to receive text (SMS) messages from Alan or by sending Alan an initial text message (an "SMS Enrollment"), you consent to receiving text messages regarding your Alan account and use of the Services. These text messages may include order confirmations, shipping notifications, messages from your healthcare provider, and other transactional messages, as well as promotional and marketing notifications, to the extent you have opted-in to receive such messages from Alan. Your opt-in includes your express waiver of any and all restrictions imposed by any federal or state law regarding the character limit, frequency and number of messages, time of day messages are received, and any other restriction imposed by any political subdivision other then the federal or state government.
With your SMS Enrollment, you represent and understand that: (1) you are the owner or authorized user of the mobile device you used in order to initiate the SMS Enrollment, (2) you are authorized to approve any applicable charges in connection with the text messages you send to and receive from Alan, (3) you will be responsible for all messaging and other data charges that may apply for any text messages sent to you from Alan, or from Alan to you, and (4) neither Alan, nor your or Alan's mobile carriers, will be liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Note that access to the Services is not conditioned upon your consent to receive marketing or promotional text messages from Alan, and you can opt-out of any of Alan's SMS services at any time by texting "STOP" to the message received, from the mobile device that is subscribed to receive the SMS messages. After you send the text message "STOP" to us, we may send you one final text message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. If you have opted-in to receive more than one type of text message from Alan, you will need to opt-out of each Alan SMS service to which you are subscribed. Until you have done so, you may continue to receive the types of text messages from Alan that you have opted-in to receive but have not unsubscribed from.
You also understand that while Alan takes your privacy and the security of your health and other sensitive information very seriously, the transmission of information over the internet and mobile networks is not 100% secure. Text messages and emails that you send to or receive from Alan are not encrypted, which means that it is possible they may be intercepted by third parties. If you choose to send or receive information about your health or any other sensitive information by text message or email, you do so at your own risk. By initiating an SMS Enrollment, you consent to sending text messages to Alan, and receiving text messages from Alan, that are not encrypted. Likewise, by emailing Alan or giving Alan your email, you consent to receiving unencrypted emails messages from Alan. If you are experiencing any issues with Alan's text messaging or email services, or if you have any concerns about sending or receiving any sensitive information through text or email, please contact us directly at hello@alanmeds.com. If you have questions specific to your text or data plan, please contact your wireless provider.
