Terms of Service – Users

Introduction

Welcome to expectedhealthcare.com. Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using this website and associated mobile application (each and collectively, referred to as the “App”). As used in these Terms of Use, “Expected Healthcare” includes Expected Healthcare, Inc. and all of its parent, subsidiary and affiliated entities and companies. Expected Healthcare may be referred to in these Terms of Use as “we,” “us,” “our” and “ourselves.” Users are also referred to herein as “you” and the like. These Terms of Use include our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms of Use.

This is an agreement between our users and us (i.e., a legally binding contract). It may change as our business changes, and you agree you will review it and any updates regularly. Your continued use of the App means you accept any changes.

Binding Agreement

By installing, visiting, registering for, accessing, and/or otherwise using our App you accept, without limitation or qualification, the following Terms of Use together with our Privacy Policy, which together constitute an Agreement between you and Expected Healthcare. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you must not access or use the App. You further agree to indemnify, defend and hold Expected Healthcare and each of their officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, employees and agents harmless, from and against all liabilities, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including attorneys’ fees), resulting from any violation by you of these Terms of Use. You accept these Terms of Use each time you install and access the App. If you are under 18 years of age, you represent and agree that your parent or guardian must access or use the App on your behalf.

Revisions to Terms of Use

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use from time to time, and your continuing use of our App constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to any changed terms and conditions. We may revise these Terms of Use at any time by posting an updated version or posting notices in or otherwise sending messages to your App account. You should visit this page periodically to review the most current Terms of Use, because you are bound by them. Your continued use of the App after a change to these Terms of Use constitutes your binding acceptance of the updated Terms of Use.

The App

The “App” means the Expected Healthcare website and associated mobile application (the “App”).

The App technology is also licensed to third party independent licensed healthcare practitioners (including physicians) so they may connect directly with you. Healthcare practitioners rendering services in such capacity are not Expected Healthcare employees or contracting service providers rendering such services at the direction of, under the supervision of or otherwise on behalf of Expected Healthcare. We are a technology platform.

Independent Practitioners

Expected Healthcare is NOT a healthcare provider. All of the treating healthcare practitioners who license our technology to connect directly with you are independent professionals solely responsible for the services each provides to you. Expected Healthcare does not practice medicine, nursing or any other licensed profession, and does not interfere with the practice of medicine or any other licensed profession by providers licensing our technology, each of whom is responsible for his or her services and compliance with the requirements applicable to his or her profession and license. Neither Expected Healthcare nor any third parties who promote the App or provide you with a link or access to the App shall be liable for any professional advice you obtain from a treating practitioner.

We make every effort to match users with practitioners in their local area, but cannot guaranty their availability on the App or the desired booking date.

No Guaranty of Availability or Service

We are not responsible or liable for any failure, unavailability or inability of a licensee healthcare provider to be able to directly schedule with you via the App, which may because of the unavailability of a practitioner licensee in your geographic area or because of the time frame for or type of requested service. The licensed practitioners operate independently and reserve the sole right to refuse or decline to provide their services to any particular user.

Our technology generates an agreement which you must agree to prior to obtaining a test or service. Users may be required to agree to additional agreements provided by the practitioners before the practitioners will provide services.

Agreement with Practitioners

We will generate an agreement with a practitioner to provide services, generated dynamically through your and the licensed practitioners’ use of our technology. Users may be required to agree to additional agreements and complete forms provided by practitioners before they provide services to the users. We may integrate such third-party practitioner agreements/forms with our App at our discretion, but are not responsible for the content thereof.

Users and practitioners may terminate a service at any time, subject to cancellation and refund policies. Such cancellation and refund policies are at all times subject to change by us prior to your booking a service, with such updated cancellation and refund policies being further reflected in the subsequent service agreement generated through your use of the App.

Terminating a Scheduled Consultation

Users and practitioners are in complete control over whether a service is completed. A user may refuse to receive services from a practitioner and a practitioner may refuse to provide services to a user, even after agreeing to perform the service via the App, in either of their sole judgments. However, the then-current cancellation and refund policy will apply and be binding as deemed incorporated herein.

Practitioners may also terminate a service when they do not feel safe or comfortable because of user conduct or otherwise.

Expected Healthcare Does Not Provide Medical or Clinical Advice

Expected Healthcare and the App do not give medical or clinical advice. Expected Healthcare is not a healthcare practitioner and is not a medical or nursing organization, hospital, healthcare provider, or employer or contracting provider of medical or clinical professionals or services. The App may provide helpful information and functionality to assist you in clinical decision-making or to find and connect with a practitioner App technology licensee. You assume full risk and responsibility for the use of information you obtain from or through the App. Practitioners, and not Expected Healthcare, will be solely responsible for the services they independently provide either themselves or through their own owners, employees and/or agents. In addition, we do not recommend or endorse the credentials, quality or qualifications of any practitioners or health-related products, items, or services; however, we make reasonable attempts to verify that facilities have active credentials with healthcare accrediting bodies whenever applicable and as indicated in the App. Expected Healthcare is not responsible or liable for any referral or recommendation of a third party, product or supply made by a practitioner.

Information on the App is for Educational and Informational Purposes Only
The App provides information – not medical, clinical, legal, or psychological advice, diagnoses, or treatment. The App may provide helpful health-related information, but it is not intended to substitute for in-person professional advice, diagnoses, or treatment, or your judgment. You acknowledge that all of the information and content on the App is provided “as is” for educational and informational purposes only. You assume full risk and responsibility for the use of or reliance on information you obtain from or through the App.

You are not a patient of Expected Healthcare. The advice you receive from your healthcare professional should supersede any information you see on the App. Contact 911 in case of any health emergency. Do NOT use Expected Healthcare to schedule a service requiring immediate emergency medical attention.

No Patient Relationship

Your use of the App does not create a patient relationship with Expected Healthcare. You should consult with qualified health professionals who are familiar with your individual medical needs concerning your specific medical issues. Never disregard professional advice or delay in seeking it because of information you read on the App.

Medical Emergency

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately. The App is not intended for emergency situations.

We evaluate licensee practitioners in a commercially reasonable manner to attempt to prohibit those we do not want to use the App to connect with you. However, we are not responsible for the conduct of any practitioners who use the App technology, and provide no guaranty or assurance as to their background or experience.

Practitioner Conduct

We are not responsible or liable for the conduct of any users of the App, including any services provided by practitioners. Email us at [email protected] to notify of us of inappropriate or illegal conduct or content you encounter on the App.

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDUCT OF USERS OF THE APP OR OF PRACTITIONERS, OR OF PRACTITIONER’S QUALIFICATIONS OR BACKGROUND. When using the App, you agree you will not cause nuisance, annoyance, inconvenience, or offense to anyone.

In certain instances, we may require you to provide proof of identity to access or use the App, and you may be denied access or use of the App if you refuse to provide proof of identity.

You agree that we may provide information about you to practitioners when you request, complete information or respond to any inquiry (including through posting mechanisms, including forms, we provide).

The terms “post” and “posting” as used in these Terms of Use shall mean the act of submitting, uploading, completing forms on, publishing, displaying, or similar action on the App.

Purchases and Subscriptions

Users are required to pay fees as then-required by the App.

Fees

The App will provide mechanisms for direct payment to practitioners and/or to us. You authorize Expected Healthcare to initiate payment with our payment processors.

Fees are subject to the cancellation and refund policies. Except as set forth therein, they are non-refundable.

Payments are in two (2) parts: (i) the practitioner’s price for your booked service (Service Charge), and (ii) our fee for your use of this App (Convenience Charge).

The manner of determining fees due to us and to practitioners as described below, respectively, are at all times subject to change by us, with such updated fees being further reflected in the subsequent service agreement generated through your use of the App.

The practitioner service pricing may further be subject to an expiration date, which will be reflected in the agreement.

IF YOU ARE LOCKING IN A PRIVATE PAY PRICE RATE FOR THE SERVICE, YOU REPRESENT, WARRANT AND COVENANT THAT YOU WILL NOT SUBMIT ANY BILLS OR CLAIMS FOR PAYMENT OR REIMBURSEMENT TO ANY PRIVATE OR GOVERNMENTAL PAYOR OR CARRIER FOR THE SERVICE RENDERED THROUGH THE USE OF OUR APP.

We make no assurance as to whether or not the agreed upon pricing for the service (including as combined with our own charge to you) is the best possible price or is competitive or fair at the time of the booking of or rendering of the service, and you are advised that you may possibly pay less (taking into account any co-payment, deductible and/or co-insurance obligation, as applicable) if you sought such service through your own insurance coverage or other payor program or plan (including governmental).

You will use our App to find and book the desired service. Practitioners will review your information and the accepting healthcare provider will book you for the service. The service agreement will then be dynamically generated for your records.

By accepting a booking, the practitioner agrees to provide the selected service for such total private pay payment price (the “Service Charge”), as payment in full. The Service Charge includes the total practitioner rate for the listed service and is inclusive of all reasonably anticipated costs incurred by the provider in rendering such service. It is also currently inclusive of one (1) copy of your test result/image. However, if you want more than one copy, you may be separately charged by the provider for such additional copies.

You further agree to pay us for our technological facilitation using the App (the “Convenience Charge”), which is at all times subject to change for subsequent bookings.

You may contact us at [email protected] with respect to any dispute of our own charges.

We use third-party payment processors. You agree to pay any fees associated with such payment processing. We do not guarantee any particular form or manner of payment will be available to make a payment.

You are charged for the full balance of the Convenience Charge at the moment the provider accepts your booking (subject to the refund and cancellation policy then in effect). You will pay the practitioner the Service charge directly at the time of service, before the service is completed.

Third-Party Payment Processors

Expected Healthcare uses third-party payment processors for electronic commerce. Our payment processors and the payment methods they accept may change without notice. Our payment processors accept payments through methods detailed on the applicable payment screen, which may include various credit card payment methods. By using such third-party payment processors, you agree to their terms and conditions of use. Such third parties may charge fees to process payments. We may pay certain of such fees at our sole discretion. Expected Healthcare disclaims all liability with regards to any fees or problems you have with third-party payment processors including, without limitation, online merchant services.

Availability of Certain Forms of Payment
Expected Healthcare makes no representations or warranties about the continued availability of any particular form of payment method made available for use with the App.

You are responsible for any taxes or fees. All transactions are in U.S. dollars.

Taxes and Fees

You are responsible for determining and paying the appropriate government taxes, fees, and charges resulting from a transaction occurring via the App. We are not responsible for collecting, reporting, paying, or remitting to you any such taxes, fees, or charges.

Third Party Fees

All third party fees (such as data usage fees charged by your internet or mobile provider) and compliance with any applicable third party terms (such as your internet App provider’s terms of services) are your sole responsibility.

U.S. Dollars

All transactions through the App are in U.S. dollars.

Minors

No part of the App is directed to persons under the age of 18. IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE, PLEASE DO NOT USE OR ACCESS The App AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER.

Your Account

You are responsible for your log-in credentials and for keeping your information accurate and private.

You are responsible for any activity resulting from the use of your log-in credentials on the App.

You represent and warrant that the information you provide to Expected Healthcare and practitioners upon registering with and usage of the App and at all other times will be true, accurate, current, and complete.

Your Log-In Credentials

To use the App, you may have log-in information, including a username and password. Your account is personal to you, and you may not share your account information with, or allow access to your account by, any third party. As you will be responsible for all activity that occurs under your access credentials, you agree to use reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the App and to preserve the confidentiality of your username and password, and safeguard any device that you use to access the App. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR USE OF YOUR LOG-IN CREDENTIALS OR ACCOUNT.

You agree to notify us immediately of any breach in secrecy of your log-in information. If you have any reason to believe that your account information has been compromised or that your account has been accessed by a third party, you agree to immediately notify Expected Healthcare by e-mail at [email protected]. You will be solely responsible for the losses incurred by Expected Healthcare and others due to any unauthorized use or access of your account.

Communications

Expected Healthcare may communicate with you by email, telephone (texting or calls), push notifications, or posting notices on the App.

You agree to receive email, telephone calls, text messages, and push notifications from us at the contact information you provided to us and using the App on your computer and as installed on your mobile device for App-related purposes (e.g., without limitation, notifying you about services, information on new products or features). If you call us by telephone, we may record the telephone call for quality and training purposes.

Text Messages

By providing us with your mobile telephone number, you consent to receive text messages at that number as requested for account verification and other administrative purposes. While we do not charge a fee for text messages, your carrier may charge standard messaging, data, and other fees. You are responsible for these charges. We may send and receive text messages through cellular telephone operators or other networks, and the level of reliability may vary. We are not responsible for the timeliness or final delivery of the message, as this is out of our control and is the responsibility of the cellular telephone operator or other networks.

Electronic Notices

By using the App or providing personal information to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the App. If we learn of a security system’s breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on the App or sending an email or text to you. You may have a legal right to receive this notice in writing. To receive written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice), please write to us at [email protected].

General Terms

These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and Expected Healthcare concerning your use of the App. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Expected Healthcare as a result of these Terms of Use or use of the App. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise stated in these Terms of Use, if any provision of these Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid or exceed the scope of lawful authority, the parties nevertheless agree that the court or arbitrator shall endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision to the maximum extent available in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is available, and the other provisions of these Terms of Use remain in full force and effect. The section titles in these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are for convenience of reference only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation” unless otherwise expressly indicated.

Dispute Resolution

Mandatory Arbitration

Please read this carefully. It affects user’s rights. You and Expected Healthcare and each of our legal representatives, heirs, estates, successors, and permitted assigns agree to arbitration (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court), as the exclusive form of dispute resolution except as provided for below, for all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to this agreement. 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. Please visit www.adr.org for more information about arbitration. No arbitration is required for equitable relief sought by us.

Commencing Arbitration

A party seeking arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of intent to arbitrate (a “notice”), or, in the absence of a mailing address provided by user, to user via any other method available to user, including via email and text message. The notice to Expected Healthcare should be addressed to [email protected], Attn: Chief Executive Officer. The notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (the “demand”). If the claim is not resolved within 30 days after the notice is received, then user or Expected Healthcare may commence an arbitration proceeding as set forth below or file a claim in small claims court. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes (the “rules”), as modified by this agreement. The rules and AAA forms are available at www.adr.org.

Arbitration Proceeding

The arbitration will be in English. A single independent and impartial arbitrator with his or her primary place of business in New York County, New York will be appointed pursuant to the rules, as modified herein. The following rules will apply: (a) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration will not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

No Class Actions

User may bring claims (including actions in equity) against the other only in their individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings brought by user with more than one person’s or entity’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that if this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then this entire mandatory arbitration section will be null and void at Expected Healthcare’ option.

Decision of the Arbitrator

Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator will issue his or her decision within 120 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed.
