2. YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US
Administrative and Technology Services
The MSO provides administrative, scheduling, technology, payment processing, customer support, marketing, and other nonclinical management services. The MSO does not practice medicine, provide medical care, make clinical decisions, control clinical judgment, or interfere with the independent professional judgment of licensed healthcare Providers.
Clinical and Medical Services
Medical services are independently provided by the Practice and its affiliated licensed Providers, and the MSO is not responsible for, and does not supervise, direct, control, or assume liability for, any diagnosis, treatment, prescription, referral, informed consent, follow-up recommendation, or other clinical decision or omission by the Practice or any Provider. A provider-patient relationship is established only when a Provider agrees to evaluate, diagnose, treat, or otherwise provide clinical services to you, and no such relationship is created merely by browsing the Service, creating an account, completing intake forms, requesting an appointment, exchanging administrative messages, or receiving general Content.
You are responsible for truthfully disclosing and, upon request, documenting your physical location and symptoms at the time Services are rendered, and Providers may decline, suspend, or terminate an encounter without refund if your identity or location cannot be verified or if services are not clinically or legally appropriate in that location.
By using the Service, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with the MSO. The MSO is not a healthcare provider. By using the Service, you may be entering into a provider-patient relationship with the Practice and one or more Providers only for the specific clinical encounter accepted by the Provider, and no ongoing duty to monitor, follow up, or provide care is created except as expressly accepted by the Practice or as required by applicable law or the standards of professional conduct.

Certain services require in-person care and cannot be performed through telehealth, including but not limited to pelvic examinations, Pap smears, breast examinations, IUD or implant insertion or removal, endometrial biopsy, and evaluation of medical emergencies or unstable conditions.

Minor Consent for Reproductive Health Services
Certain states may permit minors to independently consent to specific reproductive or sexual healthcare services, including contraceptive services, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment, and pregnancy-related care, but the availability of minor-consent services through the Service is determined by the Practice in accordance with applicable law and clinical appropriateness. The Practice will comply with all applicable state and federal laws governing minor consent and confidentiality, and neither the MSO nor the Practice is required to provide any service to a minor unless the Practice determines that the minor may lawfully consent, that telehealth is clinically appropriate, and that identity and location can be verified.

6. CONSENT TO TELEHEALTH SERVICES

You have a continuing duty to provide truthful, accurate, and complete information to the MSO, the Practice, and your Providers, including all relevant information regarding your identity, location, symptoms, medical history, current medications, allergies, pregnancy status, laboratory results, vital signs, and any care you are receiving from other healthcare providers.

9. LABORATORY SERVICES
Certain healthcare services provided through the Service may require laboratory testing. Laboratory testing ordered through Practice is performed by LabCorp (Laboratory Corporation of America), Quest Diagnostics, Sunrise Labs, or other independent laboratories selected by the Practice or made available to you.

10. PRESCRIBING
A telehealth visit, payment, intake submission, prior prescription, or appointment request does not guarantee that any medication will be prescribed, refilled, continued, changed, or authorized. All prescribing decisions are made solely at the clinical discretion of your Provider and in compliance with applicable federal and state law.
Controlled substances, if prescribed, will only be prescribed in compliance with applicable federal and state laws and professional standards. Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) databases may be reviewed where permitted or required by law, and you authorize the Practice and Providers to review available medication history, dispensing history and prior records before issuing, changing, refusing, or discontinuing a prescription.

If you do not specify a pharmacy, your prescription will be sent to the pharmacy on file in your account, and the MSO, Practice, and Providers are not responsible for pharmacy refusal, substitution, availability, pricing, delays, dispensing errors, insurance coverage, or counseling obligations.
11. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Payment Model
Practice operates on both an insurance-accepted model and a cash-pay model, and the Practice may determine, in its sole discretion and in accordance with applicable law and payer contracts, which model applies to particular services, patients, payers, providers, service lines, or locations and may change that determination prospectively at any time.
CASH-PAY MODEL
If you choose or are required to use the Service on a cash-pay basis, you are specifically choosing to obtain products and services on a cash basis. You are solely responsible for the costs of any service or product provided to you, including missed-appointment, late-cancellation, administrative, technology, laboratory, pharmacy, payment-processing, collection, and third-party charges to the extent permitted by law and disclosed as required by law. Neither you nor the Practice will submit a claim for reimbursement to any federal or state healthcare program or commercial payer for services provided on a cash-pay basis through the Service, except where submission is required by applicable law or payer contract.
INSURANCE-ACCEPTED MODEL
The Practice may accept certain insurance plans. Insurance coverage for telehealth services varies by payer and state. You are responsible for verifying your insurance coverage, benefits, network status, referral or prior authorization requirements, telehealth coverage, medical-necessity requirements, payer policies, and cost-sharing obligations before receiving services. You are responsible for applicable copayments, deductibles, coinsurance, denied claims, retroactive eligibility changes, payer recoupments, noncovered services, and any amounts not paid by your insurer, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or payer contract.
Fees and Charges

Payment Processing

12. PRIVACY AND PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION
Privacy Policy
The MSO and Practice understand the importance of confidentiality and privacy regarding your personal information.

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that the MSO and Practice may collect, use, and share information as described in the Privacy Policy and as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Protected Health Information
The MSO is not a “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The Practice may be a covered entity under HIPAA, and the MSO may in some cases be a “business associate” of the Practice.
To the extent the MSO is deemed a business associate, and solely in its role as a business associate, the MSO may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to protected health information (PHI) that you provide to the Practice or its Providers.
Any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state or federal laws (“Protected Information”) will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. Information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under the Privacy Policy, including for operations, analytics, security, fraud prevention, service improvement, marketing, and development to the extent permitted by law.
The Practice and its Providers have adopted a Notice of Privacy Practices that describes how they use and disclose Protected Information. By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices and consent to electronic delivery of privacy notices, updates, and acknowledgments to the extent permitted by law.
For purposes of clarity, information you provide to the MSO in order to register and set up an account (including name, username, email address, shipping address, phone number, device information, usage data, and payment information) may not be considered Protected Information unless HIPAA or other applicable law requires otherwise under the circumstances.
13. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
When you access or use the Service or send emails, portal messages, or SMS messages to us, the Practice, or its Providers, you are communicating electronically. You consent to receive communications electronically and agree that electronic communications may include administrative, billing, transactional, appointment, prescription, laboratory, and care-related communications. Communications may be sent via email, SMS, patient portal, automated message, push notification, or through the Service, and you are responsible for keeping your contact information current, monitoring those communication channels, and promptly reading and acting on clinical, billing, laboratory, prescription, and administrative communications.
You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications provided electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
Marketing and Promotional Communications
With your consent where required by applicable law, the MSO or Practice may send you marketing or promotional communications by email, SMS, or other electronic means. You may opt out at any time by:
Clicking “unsubscribe” at the bottom of any marketing email
Replying STOP to any marketing SMS message
Contacting the Practice at legal@maidenlanemedical.com provided that opt-out requests may take a reasonable time to process as permitted by applicable law
Opting out of marketing communications does not affect transactional or service-related communications (such as appointment reminders, prescription notifications, or billing communications).
Message and data rates may apply for SMS communications, and you represent that you are the subscriber or customary user of any phone number you provide and agree to promptly notify us if that number changes or is reassigned. Message frequency varies. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Florida Residents: We endeavor to comply with the Florida Telemarketing Act and the Florida Do Not Call Act as applicable to Florida residents. For purposes of compliance, you agree that we may assume that you are a Florida resident if, at the time of opt-in to the Service, (1) your shipping address, as provided is located in Florida or (2) the area code for the phone number used to opt-into the Service is a Florida area code. You agree that the requirements of the Florida Telemarketing Act and the Florida Do Not Call Act do not apply to you, and you shall not assert that you are a Florida resident, if you do not meet either of these criteria or, in the alternative, do not affirmatively advise us in writing that you are a Florida resident by sending written notice to us. Insofar as you are a Florida resident, you agree that mobile messages sent by us in direct response to mobile messages or requests from you (including but are not limited to response to keywords, opt-in, help or stop requests, and shipping notifications) shall not constitute a “telephonic sales call” or “commercial telephone solicitation phone call” for purposes of Florida Statutes Section 501 (including but not limited to sections 501.059 and 501.616), to the extent the law is otherwise relevant and applicable.
14. RECORDINGS
Telehealth encounters will not be recorded by the Practice or by your Provider without your explicit permission, except as otherwise permitted or required by law.
You agree that you will not record any telehealth encounter (audio, video, or otherwise) without the prior written consent of your Provider and the Practice. Unauthorized recording may result in termination of the telehealth visit, suspension or termination of your account, refusal of future services, and any other remedies available at law or in equity, and may violate applicable state and federal law.
15. USE AND OWNERSHIP OF THE SERVICE
The Service and all Content available through the Service are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Subject to this Agreement, the MSO grants you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, noncommercial use solely as intended by the MSO and Practice, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by the MSO, Practice, and their licensors and vendors.
All rights, title, and interest in the Service (including computer code, software, databases, workflows, algorithms, interfaces, graphics, logos, photographs, product descriptions, blog posts, artwork, documentation, and all modifications, improvements, and derivative works) are owned by the MSO and its suppliers.

DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT
The MSO and Practice respect the intellectual property rights of others and ask users to do the same. Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”), the MSO and Practice reserve the right, but not the obligation, to remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material and to suspend or terminate any user’s license to access or use the Service if the MSO or Practice determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the user is involved in infringing activity, including alleged acts of first-time or repeat infringement, regardless of whether the material or activity is ultimately determined to be infringing. If you believe that material available through the Service infringes your copyright, you may send a DMCA notice to the designated agent identified below requesting review of the alleged infringement. The notice must include: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works located on the Service are covered by a single notice, a representative list of such works; (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity and information reasonably sufficient to permit the MSO and Practice to locate the material on the Service; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and email address, if available, of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send a counter-notice that satisfies the then-current statutory requirements of the DMCA. Notices and counter-notices should be sent to: Maiden Lane Medical, Attn: DMCA Agent, 90 Maiden Lane, Third Floor, New York, NY 10038 Phone:646-290-9560. The MSO and Practice may disregard any notice or counter-notice that does not substantially comply with the DMCA and may require additional information before taking action.

You grant the MSO and Practice a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, nonexclusive, and fully sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such submissions for the purposes of operating, providing, improving, securing, analyzing, marketing, and developing the Service, subject to applicable law and limitations on Protected Information.

NOTHING IN THIS SECTION IS INTENDED TO LIMIT LIABILITY FOR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE OR PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE BY THE PRACTICE OR ITS PROVIDERS TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIMITATION IS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND YOU AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM MUST BE ASSERTED SOLELY AGAINST THE PRACTICE OR PROVIDER WHO ALLEGEDLY PROVIDED THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AT ISSUE AND NOT AGAINST THE MSO.
IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH SAYS “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
22. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the MSO and the Practice from and against any and all claims, demands, proceedings, investigations, audits, damages, settlements, judgments, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or related to:
Your use of the Service
Your violation of this Agreement
Your violation of any applicable law
Your fraud, negligence, misrepresentation, omission, or willful misconduct
Your violation of any rights of any other person or entity, including privacy, publicity, intellectual property, confidentiality, and data protection rights
The MSO and Practice reserve the right to control the defense and settlement of any claim for which indemnification is sought, and you agree to cooperate as reasonably requested and not to settle any claim without prior written consent if the settlement is unreasonable or imposes any obligation, admission, restriction, or liability on an indemnified party.
23. TERMINATION
The MSO or Practice may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account, access, or use of the Service at any time, with or without notice where permitted by law, and for any or no reason, including for conduct violating these Terms, nonpayment, suspected fraud, safety concerns, regulatory concerns, inability to verify your identity or location, abusive conduct, or if the Service is discontinued.
Upon termination:
You will not attempt to use the Service under any name, real or assumed.
The provisions of this Agreement concerning ownership, intellectual property, user submissions, payment obligations, privacy, disclaimers, limitation of liability, arbitration, class action waiver, indemnification, termination effects, notices, governing law, venue, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive shall survive termination.
Except as required by applicable law (including any obligation to provide access to medical records), the MSO and Practice have no obligation to return, maintain, export, transfer, or provide to you any Content, information, account data, messages, or records following termination.
Your medical records will be retained and made available to you in accordance with applicable state and federal law, regardless of account termination.
24. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Agreement to Arbitrate
The MSO may modify these arbitration provisions on a prospective basis upon notice, and any modification will apply only to claims arising after the effective date of the modification to the extent necessary to avoid unenforceability.
You and we agree that any legal claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Service, Content, communications, payment, privacy, any goods or services provided through or facilitated by the Service, or the relationship between you and the MSO and/or the Practice (each and collectively, “Disputes”), that is not resolved through the informal dispute resolution process described below, shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted before one arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association (AAA), rather than in a court.
You and we acknowledge that by agreeing to arbitration, both parties are voluntarily and knowingly waiving the right to a trial by jury.
Informal Dispute Resolution
Before commencing arbitration, you and we agree to attempt to resolve any Dispute informally. The party initiating a Dispute must provide written notice (“Notice”) to the other party describing in reasonable detail the Dispute, the legal and factual basis for the claim, the relief sought, and information sufficient to identify the account, appointment, transaction, communication, or service at issue. Notice to us should be sent to:
Maiden Lane Medical
90 Maiden Lane, Third floor, New York, NY 10038
Attn: Dispute Resolution
Email: legal@maidenlanemedical.com
We will provide notice to the email address associated with your account.
Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Notice, the parties will meet and confer by telephone or videoconference in a good-faith effort to resolve the Dispute informally. If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the informal conference, either party may commence arbitration, and compliance with this informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to filing any arbitration or permissible court action.
Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be administered under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced, including any applicable AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules or equivalent rules. Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA fee schedule, except that the arbitrator may award fees and costs to the MSO or Practice to the extent permitted by law if the arbitrator determines that a claim was frivolous, brought for an improper purpose, or filed in breach of these Terms.
The arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York, by telephone, by videoconference, or on written submissions, as determined by the arbitrator, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing or applicable law requires a different location.
The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction, but the arbitrator may award relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to resolve the individual claim before the arbitrator.
This Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.
Class Action Waiver
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, CONSOLIDATED, COORDINATED, OR MASS ACTION BASIS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT AAA MASS ARBITRATION SUPPLEMENTARY RULES APPLY TO ADMINISTRATION WITHOUT PERMITTING CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE RELIEF. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.
Neither party may bring any claim as a plaintiff, claimant, representative, private attorney general, or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, coordinated, consolidated, or mass proceeding, and no arbitration shall be consolidated, coordinated, batched, or joined with any other arbitration except as required by the applicable AAA rules for administrative efficiency without expanding the arbitrator’s authority to award non-individual relief.
If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) shall be severed from arbitration and may be brought in the state or federal courts located in New York, New York. All other claims shall remain in arbitration.
Opt-Out Right
If you do not wish to be bound by this arbitration provision, you may opt out within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Agreement by sending written notice to:
Maiden Lane Medical
90 Maiden Lane, Third floor, New York, NY 10038
Attn: Arbitration Opt-Out
Email: legal@maidenlanemedical.com
Your opt-out notice must include your name, address, email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration provision. You must sign the notice for it to be effective.
Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provision of this Agreement.
Exceptions to Arbitration
Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any party from seeking provisional or interim remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of competent jurisdiction. All rights and remedies under these Terms are cumulative and are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity.
Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for Disputes within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction, as long as the action remains in small claims court and proceeds on an individual basis, and seeks only individualized relief.
The MSO and Practice may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights, confidential information, privacy, security, patient safety, regulatory compliance, or to prevent imminent harm, without first engaging in informal dispute resolution, arbitration or posting a bond or other security, to the extent permitted by law.

26. NOTICES
Any notices to you from the MSO or Practice regarding the Service or this Agreement may be made by email, SMS, posted notice on the Service, patient portal message, telephone, push notification, or regular mail, and notice is deemed given when sent, posted, or mailed to the contact information associated with your account.
27. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, together with the Informed Consent for Telehealth Services, the Notice of Privacy Practices, the Privacy Policy, any financial responsibility or assignment-of-benefits forms, and any other agreements, policies, consents, or notices posted on or presented through the Service, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the MSO and Practice regarding your use of the Service and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, representations, or understandings regarding that subject matter. The paragraph titles in these Terms and Conditions are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, owners, successors, assigns, managers, officers, directors, employees and agents, including the Providers, of the MSO and the Practice are intended third-party beneficiaries of any waiver, disclaimer, limitation, defense, release, or indemnity that benefits them under these Terms and may enforce those provisions directly.
28. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and each waiver, disclaimer, exclusion, limitation, and remedy shall be construed as independent and severable. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision to the extent permitted by law.
29. NO WAIVER
No failure or delay by the MSO or the Practice in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise preclude any other or further exercise of that right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.
30. NO AGENCY RELATIONSHIP
Nothing in this Agreement creates any partnership, joint venture, employment, fiduciary, trustee, representative, agency, or other special relationship between you and the MSO, the Practice, or any Provider, except for any provider-patient relationship established with the Practice or a Provider as expressly described in these Terms. You may not enter into any contract on behalf of the MSO or Practice or bind them in any way.
31. ASSIGNMENT
You may not assign any of your rights under this Agreement, and any such attempt will be null and void. The MSO and Practice may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any affiliate, successor, purchaser, or third party in connection with a merger, sale of assets, reorganization, financing, change of control, outsourcing arrangement, management services arrangement, or other corporate or professional transaction, without further consent or notification.
32. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration agreement and applicable federal and state healthcare laws govern clinical services where required.
To the extent any Dispute is not subject to arbitration under this Agreement, you and we agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, waive any objection based on personal jurisdiction, venue, or forum non conveniens, and agree not to seek transfer to any other forum or jurisdiction.
