Notice Regarding Your Financial Responsibility for Services: EllieMD is not enrolled with, and is not participating providers with, any federal or state healthcare programs (i.e., Medicare, Medicaid) for the provision of any healthcare services or supplies and, as such, neither you nor EllieMD may receive payment from such programs for the services or products provided to you by EllieMD or the Providers. Further, to the extent that any Pharmacies or Providers may be enrolled in federal or state healthcare programs, the means through which the services and products are provided or made accessible through the Website typically precludes such services and products from being covered benefits under these programs.

Thus, you are solely responsible for the costs of any service or product provided to you.

One or more of the Pharmacies or Providers may or may not be a “covered entity” or “business associate” under HIPAA, and EllieMD may in some cases be a “business associate” of a Pharmacy or Provider. It is important to remember that, while state-specific privacy laws may apply, HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because health information is involved. HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with EllieMD, the Providers, or the Pharmacies. To the extent EllieMD is deemed a “business associate” however, and solely in its role as a business associate, EllieMD, may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA concerning “protected health information,” as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to the Pharmacies or Providers (“PHI”). Any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under our Privacy Policy. Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified by HIPAA.
The Providers have adopted a Telehealth Consent that describes how they use and disclose Protected Information. By accessing or using any part of the Website, you are acknowledging receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices. By using the Website, you are agreeing that even if HIPAA does apply to EllieMD, the Providers, or the Pharmacies, any information that you submit to EllieMD that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Providers or prescription fulfillment by the Pharmacies, is not considered Protected Information, and will only be subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information.
Terms of Sale: All products offered by EllieMD are subject to availability. We reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order or reject all or any part of an order without prior notice.

We and our third-party payment service providers may request, and receive, updated payment card information from your payment card issuer, such as updated card numbers and expiration date information when your credit card has expired. If such updated information is provided, you agree we may update your account information accordingly, and we will use such updated information to process payments for any current amount due and your future purchases and applicable subscription charges (including any applicable taxes, shipping, and handling charges).

Jurisdiction: The Terms of Use are governed by and construed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, and controlling United States Federal Law without regard to any conflicts of law provisions.
Arbitration: Subject to the provisions of this Terms of Use, all disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved through mandatory binding arbitration that will be conducted in Palo Alto, Delaware as provided below. This agreement contains an arbitration provision to resolve disputes. No class or representative court action or jury trial is permitted. Arbitration is the referral of a dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination and means that there shall not be a jury and that the rules of the proceeding will be conducted following established arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). To resolve a dispute with as minimum expense and maximum satisfaction as possible, we recommend contacting us first to resolve any dispute in as easy a fashion as possible. You are permitted to proceed directly to arbitration, provided that before initiating arbitration, you first send notice to the Company to support@elliemd.com . Any dispute must be initiated with an AAA arbitrator in Palo Alto, Delaware, within one year of occurrence or to the maximum extent permitted by law. Any dispute that arises may only be resolved through individual arbitration, and shall not be brought as a class action, a class arbitration, or any other proceeding where a person serves as the representative of any other person or persons. You agree that there is no right to a jury trial, and this provision will be governed both substantively and procedurally by the AAA to the maximum extent permitted by law. The selected arbitrator is without jurisdiction to conduct a class arbitration or other representative proceeding and may not consolidate one person’s claims with another. Both parties must keep the dispute confidential, to the maximum extent permitted by law. As in the rest of this Terms of Use, if one part of this arbitration agreement is found to be invalid, the invalid provision shall be severed from the rest of this arbitration clause and agreement and the rest of this clause and agreement shall be valid.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, it shall be deemed omitted and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This Agreement may be modified only in writing authorized by the Company. The Company’s waiver of any right shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right in the future.
