DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ARBITRATION CLAUSE)
Binding Arbitration. You and the Establishment agree to submit to binding arbitration in the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim (each, a "Dispute") arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof (including the determination of the scope or applicability of these Terms for arbitration), the rights and obligations of you or the Establishment under these Terms, the Site, your use of the Site, and/or the information, services, and/or products that may be provided by or through the Site or in connection with it. The arbitration will be conducted in the state of [ESTATION STATE] before one arbitrator on an individual basis and not as a class action (Class Action). You expressly waive any right you may have to arbitrate a Dispute as a class action (Class Action). You also expressly waive your right to a jury trial. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS (http://www.jamsadr.com). You may obtain a copy of JAMS's rules by contacting JAMS. You and the Venue will agree upon an arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. In the event the parties cannot agree upon an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be selected in accordance with JAMS's rules. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert, and other fees, unless the arbitrator awards such fees to the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate the Venue's intellectual property rights, the Venue may seek (and you will not challenge) injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court having jurisdiction over [Venue's STATE AND CITY], and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
Final Arbitration. The arbitration award is final and binding on all parties. The Federal Arbitration Act, and not any state law relating to arbitration, governs all arbitration under this clause. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator's award. If any part of this clause, other than the waiver of class action rights, is held or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall continue to apply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the waiver of class action rights contained herein is found to be unenforceable as to any person or persons, such unenforceability shall apply only to such person or persons, and all other persons shall continue to be governed by the Arbitration Clause.
Waiver of Class Action Rights. These Terms provide that all disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration and not in court or a jury trial. IF A DISPUTE IS ARBITRATED, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST THE SETTLEMENT ENTITIES, INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THIS INCLUDES THE WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHTS TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AS PROVIDED FOR IN ANY STATE STATUTE.
Choice of Law; Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. To the maximum extent permitted by law, these Terms are governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of [ESTATION STATE], excluding any conflict of laws principles or rules that would apply the law of another jurisdiction. To the extent a Dispute is not governed by the Arbitration Clause, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of [ESTATION STATE AND CITY] in all disputes arising out of or relating to use of the Site or under these Terms; provided, however, that in the event Establishment is sued or joined by a third party in any other court or other forum with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim by Establishment hereunder, you hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such court or forum over any claim that Establishment may assert therein.
You irrevocably consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts in any such action. Furthermore, and notwithstanding the foregoing, you irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection you may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon you and may be enforced in any court in which you are subject to jurisdiction by a suit based on such judgment.
Use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms, including without limitation this paragraph. To the extent a claim is not governed by the Arbitration Clause, the Facility and each of you hereby waive the right to a trial by jury in any court and in any suit, action or proceeding, whether in tort, contract or otherwise, to which any of those parties is a party, as to any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, your or the Facility's rights and obligations under these Terms, the Site, your use of the Site, and/or any services and/or products that may be provided by or through the Site or in connection therewith.

Privacy and Security
Direct2MD considers patient health privacy to be a critically important element of the Subscriber relationship with Direct2MD Services. It is Direct2MD's responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of health information. In accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), I acknowledge that I have received a copy of the Facility's Notice of Privacy Practices. I hereby consent to the disclosure of my protected health information, including information generated through the use of virtual health or telemedicine services, as described in the Notice of Privacy Practices. This includes all of my protected health information generated during the use of the Services.
I understand that it is extremely important that I keep my access credentials to the Service completely confidential. If at any time I feel that the confidentiality of my password has been compromised, I will change it by contacting [hello@hombres.health or Customercare@direct2md.com .]. I understand that Direct2MD or its authorized vendors and agents assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any and all liability or damages arising from, a breach of the confidentiality of health records as a result of sharing or losing my password. If Direct2MD or its authorized vendors and agents discover that I have improperly shared my password with another person, or that I have misused or abused my online access privileges in any way, my access to the Service will be terminated without notice.
Using Direct2MD Health Care Services
My registration with Direct2MD and its Business Partners (New Pharmacy Ventures) authorizes my use of the Services as provided in this Agreement. It is my responsibility to be truthful and accurate with all information I provide verbally, via text message, or enter or upload to the Service Website, including but not limited to, my physical condition, primary medical condition, and documented location of my permanent residence when accessing the Service. I acknowledge that my ability to access and use the Direct2MD Services is conditioned upon the truthfulness of this certification and that the Service providers rely upon the certification of this information in order to interact with me. In the event my certification is inaccurate, I agree to indemnify Direct2MD and the providers with whom I interact for any resulting damages, costs, or claims.
The law requires that every medical diagnosis or treatment be documented. Documentation of visits with Direct2MD is maintained in an electronic health record (EHR). As long as my account with Direct2MD and its Business Associates (New Pharmacy Ventures) is active and in good standing, I will have unlimited access to my medical information stored in my EHR.
Direct2MD Telemedicine Consultations Direct2MD telemedicine services are performed by physicians dedicated to the practice of safe, effective, evidence-based telemedicine. By accepting the Service, I agree to enter into a physician-patient relationship with Direct2MD providers. I agree to have my medical history and other diagnoses and medical documentation reviewed by one of Direct2MD physicians. I acknowledge that Direct2MD physicians may choose not to treat my condition or prescribe any medications for my condition. Direct2MD physicians do not prescribe DEA controlled substances, non-therapeutic medications, and certain other medications that may be harmful due to their potential for abuse. Direct2MD physicians reserve the right to deny care due to potential misuse of services. I understand that healthcare services provided by Direct2MD physicians are subject to their discretion and professional judgment. I understand that Direct2MD operates subject to state regulations and visits will be conducted based on the guidance of these regulations, which may vary from state to state.
My consultation report will be made available for my review to ensure that the relevant signs and symptoms of my condition and the treatment decision and instructions issued by the Direct2MD healthcare provider are correct. I am advised to immediately contact Direct2MD if I do not agree with or understand the content of the consultation report or the instructions issued by the Direct2MD healthcare provider.
I understand that Direct2MD should never be used in emergency matters. Therefore, for all emergency matters that I believe may immediately affect my health or well-being, I will promptly go to a local hospital emergency room, and/or dial 911.
