Special Consent to Telehealth Services
Telemedicine involves the delivery of health care services using electronic communications, information technology, or other means between a healthcare 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 healthcare provider;
Interactions between a patient and healthcare 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 imaging data, and will include measures to safeguard the data to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption. Please see our Consent to Telehealth Form for a description of the risks and benefits of telemedicine. The Consent to Telehealth is hereby incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference and constitutes a part of these Terms of Use.
Privacy Policy
Federal and State law govern the confidentiality of medical information. Please see: (1) our Privacy Policy for information on how we may collect, use and disclose your personal information through the Site, and (2) the Notice of Privacy Practices provided to you by your healthcare provider or his/her affiliated professional entity for a description of how those entities may use and disclose your medical information and how you may access that information.
Medical Disclaimers
Oar Health, Inc. does not provide any medical services, including via the Site and Services. Rather, Oar Health, Inc. is a technology company, providing the platform that enables you to communicate remotely with healthcare providers related to your medical issue. Oar Health, Inc. is not your healthcare provider or pharmacist, nor is Oar Health, Inc. licensed to practice medicine nor does Oar Health, Inc. recommend or prescribe treatment or medication. To the extent that any Healthcare Services are offered to you, they are provided by the applicable healthcare provider and its affiliated entities, not Oar Health, Inc.
Similarly, Oar Health, Inc. is not a pharmacy. Based on prescriptions provided to you by a healthcare provider through the Site, Oar Health, Inc. connects you with a network of third party pharmacies.
Healthcare providers who deliver services through our platform are independent professionals, and they (not Oar Health, Inc.) are responsible for the advice, services, recommendations and/or medications they deliver to you. Just like when you talk to your doctor on the phone, the phone company is not responsible for your healthcare; similarly, Oar Health, Inc. is not responsible for the healthcare or advice provided by healthcare providers through our technology and communications systems.
By accepting these Terms of Use and using the Services, you understand and agree that Oar Health, Inc. does not provide any stand-alone therapeutic, psychological or medical services or medical advice to individual Users of the Site. Oar Health, Inc. has no direct control over the appropriateness, accuracy, quality, timeliness, scope, price or risks of or associated with any provision of Healthcare Services as a result of its intermediary role between patients and healthcare providers.
Consultative Service
In some cases, an affiliated healthcare provider may use the Services to provide advice or treatment to you. A healthcare 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, in each instance. Therefore, the healthcare 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, Oar strongly encourages you to provide all relevant information and discuss any and all diagnosis and treatment options with a healthcare provider. Moreover, a healthcare provider utilizing Oar may be limited by state law in prescribing certain medications to you without first conducting an in-person physical examination. By deciding to engage 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 healthcare 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 healthcare provider’s ability to diagnose any potential condition, disease or injury. We do not control, and are not responsible for, end to end security (for example, security of data transmitted across public and private networks and internet providers, your browser, your devices, etc.). Delays in medical evaluation and consultation or treatment may occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment which may include poor video and data quality. Lack of access to complete medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other negative outcomes. If you obtain psychotherapy services, you understand that your therapist has the right to limit the information provided to you if in your therapist's professional judgment sharing the information with you would be harmful to you.
Registration And User Accounts
Although certain parts of the Site are accessible by any individual, you are obligated to register with Oar in order to access the Services. The Services are available only to users who have registered with Oar and to other persons affiliated with Oar who have been granted accounts with usernames and passwords (“Secure Users”). If you are a Secure User, you agree to provide information that is accurate, complete and correct, and to accurately maintain and update any information about yourself that you have provided to Oar. If you do not maintain such information, or Oar has reasonable grounds to suspect as much, Oar has the right to suspend or terminate your account and your use of the Services. You also agree to immediately notify Oar of any unauthorized use of your username, password or any other breach of security that you become aware of involving or relating to the Services by emailing Oar at support@oarrx.com. Oar may take any and all actions it deems necessary or reasonable to maintain the security of the Site, Services and your Secure User account.
You agree to keep confidential your username and password and to exit from your Secure User account at the end of each session. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account and for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. You are responsible for changing your password promptly if you think it has been compromised. You may not transfer or share your password with anyone, or create more than one account. You may not use anyone else’s account at any time. Oar explicitly disclaims liability for any and all losses and damages arising from your failure to comply with this section. You acknowledge and agree that: (1) all or any part of the Site may not be accessible at any time, for any period, or for any reason; and (2) Oar will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Site are unavailable at any time or for any period.
Site Content and Communications
By creating an account, you also consent to receive electronic communications from Oar (e.g., via email or by posting notices to the Site). These communications may include notices about your account (e.g., payment authorizations, password changes and other transactional information) and are part of your relationship with us. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including, but not limited to, that such communications be in writing. You should maintain copies of electronic communications from us by printing a paper copy or saving an electronic copy. We may also send you promotional communications via email, including, but not limited to, newsletters, special offers, surveys and other news and information we think will be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving these promotional emails at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions provided therein.
By providing your mobile phone number to us through the Site, you consent to receive calls or text messages at any such phone number sent by or on behalf of Oar, including autodialed calls and/or text messages, for marketing, promotional, operational or informational purposes. You may opt out of marketing and promotional calls or messages by following the applicable unsubscribe instructions provided to you. Following such opt-out, you may continue to receive calls or messages for a short period of time while Oar processes your request. It is your responsibility to keep your account information, including your phone number, updated. Standard message and data rates applied by your mobile phone carrier may apply to the text messages we send you. Please contact your mobile phone carrier for details.
Except for specific communications received from your healthcare provider or any affiliate health care organizations and providers, none of the Content you receive through the Site should be considered medical advice. By accepting the Terms of Use, you agree and consent to Oar, Oar affiliates, or healthcare providers sending you disclosures, notices, messages, reports, and other communications. It is your responsibility to monitor these communications. You further acknowledge and agree that you will not hold us or any Oar affiliate 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.

Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Venue; Severability Of Provisions
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND OAR TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM OAR
Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, YOU AND OAR AGREE (A) TO WAIVE YOUR AND OAR’S RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE, OR THE SITE OR SERVICES, RESOLVED IN A COURT, AND (B) TO WAIVE YOUR AND OAR’S RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. Instead, you and Oar agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the dispute decided by a judge or jury in court) conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the arbitration rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “AAA Rules”) and under the rules set forth in these Terms of Use. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in these Terms of Use, the rules set forth in these Terms of Use will govern.
Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York. Each party will be responsible for paying any filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with the AAA Rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL.
You and Oar agree that these Terms of Use affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
YOU AND OAR EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY DISPUTES ON A CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
YOU AGREE THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE, OR SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
These Terms of Use and your use of the Site shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws.

All parts of these Terms of Use apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. Oar 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.

No Waiver
No waiver by Oar of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure by Oar to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Remedies
