What We Do and What We Don't Do (HealthTap)

We Support Your Health Decisions through Information.

HealthTap is designed to support the health decisions and choices that you make. Always use common sense when making health decisions, and consult with your doctor whenever appropriate. HealthTap cannot make decisions for you, but can help you find health information. On HealthTap you can ask informational questions and find educational answers and health by Medical Experts. Except as may be provided via a Virtual Consult, this information is not medical care and no doctor-patient relationship is created by this use of the free services, such as our Q&A and symptom assessment tools. Content and non-Virtual Care Services on HealthTap are not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or care from your physician. Except as may be provided via a Virtual Consult, information on HealthTap is not a substitute for a formal diagnosis, physical examination, or prescription and should not be used to treat a medical condition. Do not ignore or delay obtaining professional medical advice because of information accessed through the Apps.

Please use HealthTap's Virtual Consults or see your doctor in person if you are looking for a personal medical evaluation, diagnosis, prescription, or treatment.

We Provide Access to Doctors for Care (Virtual Consults).

Via HealthTap Virtual Consults, you can obtain care (if you are located in a state where such service is available). Additional terms apply to Virtual Consults.

Whenever we use the words "your physician" or "your doctor" or "healthcare provider" or similar words on HealthTap, including in these Terms of Use, we mean your personal doctor with whom you have of an actual, mutually acknowledged, doctor/healthcare provider-patient relationship. If you participate in a Virtual Consult on HealthTap, you understand and agree that the Medical Experts on HealthTap are not your primary care physician, and you agree not to use HealthTap Virtual Consults as a substitute for interactions with your primary care physician or health insurance. (Where available, you may also use Virtual Consults with your existing doctor(s).

HealthTap Arbitration Agreement

Summary.

HealthTap's Terms require the use of arbitration to resolve disputes and also limits the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute. Most concerns can be resolved quickly by visiting the customer service help center at https://support.healthtap.com. In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve a legitimate legal complaint, we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or small claims instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. We request that you work with us in good faith to resolve any disputes for 30 days after notifying us of such issues before filing arbitration. You understand that any award available under arbitration is subject to the limitations in the HealthTap TOUs. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND HEALTHTAP ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Agreement.

First things first: let's try to sort it out. We want to address your concerns without a formal arbitration or case. Before filing a claim against HealthTap, you agree to make a good faith effort to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting [email protected] and responding promptly to any related communications. We'll try to resolve the dispute by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days of submission, you or HealthTap may bring a formal proceeding.

This Arbitration Agreement ("Arbitration Agreement") is a condition of the Terms of Use of HealthTap and the Apps. The effective date of this agreement is August 30, 2014 (the "Effective Date").

General.

If you reside in the United States or are otherwise subject to the US Federal Arbitration Act, you agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between us - except as set forth below ("Exceptions") - shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

Any arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules and procedures applicable at that time, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (to the extent applicable), as modified by our Arbitration Agreement. You may review those rules and procedures, and obtain a form for initiating arbitration proceedings at the AAA's website. 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 HealthTap. The arbitration shall be held in Santa Clara County, California or at another mutually agreed location. If the reasonable value of the relief sought is US$10,000 or less, either of us may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on us subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or us, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

Exceptions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement 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.

Notice.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to HealthTap should be addressed to: General Counsel, HealthTap, 209 E. Java Dr #61987, Sunnyvale, CA 94088 ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought and the specific applicable legal basis for the requested relief ("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 HealthTap may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or HealthTap must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of California, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different HealthTap users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties, except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act.

Opt-Out.

If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within 30 days after the date that you agree to the Terms by sending a letter to General Counsel, HealthTap, Inc., 209 E. Java Dr #61987, Sunnyvale, CA 94088 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 HealthTap receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Arbitration Agreement will be void and any action arising out of the Terms will be resolved under the governing law and jurisdiction set forth in the Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.

Fees.

The AAA rules will govern the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees, unless our Arbitration Agreement expressly provides otherwise. If the amount of any claim in an arbitration is US$5,000 or less, HealthTap will pay all arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, so long as: (a) you make a written request for such payment of fees and submit it to the AAA with your Demand for Arbitration; and (b) your claim is not determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous or without merit under HealthTap's Terms of Use or otherwise ("Frivolous Claims"). In such case, we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the amount of the claim exceeds US$10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, HealthTap will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are Frivolous Claims, you agree to reimburse HealthTap for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by HealthTap. HealthTap's obligations to pay these fees shall be made after a preliminary determination that the claims are not barred or limited by the HealthTap Terms of Use. Bared or limited claims constitute Frivolous Claims.

PROHIBITION OF CLASS AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS.

YOU AND HEALTHTAP AGREE, AS PART OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS PART OF ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. WE REFER TO THIS AS THE "PROHIBITION OF CLASS AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS". UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN YOUR OR OUR CLAIM WITH ANOTHER PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY ONLY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER HEALTHTAP USERS.

Enforceability.

Except with respect to the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions, if a court decides that any part of this Arbitration Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Arbitration Agreement shall continue to apply. If a court decides that the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions is invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void.

Modifications.

If HealthTap makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement, other than a change to HealthTap's Notice Address, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to the Notice Address, in which case your account with HealthTap will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.

CLAIMS ARE TIME-BARRED.

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary or the applicable dispute resolution process, any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of or related to use of the Service or otherwise under these must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or you hereby agree to be forever barred from bringing such claims.
