Virtual Consultations
You acknowledge that a virtual consultation may not be the appropriate course of treatment for your particular healthcare needs. Medical services rendered by a Provider are subject to their professional judgment. Any information or advice received from a Provider comes from the individual Provider. You and your individual Provider are solely responsible for all information or communication sent during a virtual consultation or other Clinical Services communication.
Virtual consultations with Providers are not intended to replace your relationship with your existing primary care physician and are not a substitute for regular use of your primary care physician. Virtual consultations cannot be used for any service that must be provided to you by your regular physician as an in-office follow up to an in-office visit, at no additional charge to you or your health care plan, as required by your health care plan.
Medical Records
Any clinical information provided as part of a virtual consultation becomes part of your legal medical record. Virtual consultations are provided in real-time.

Prescriptions
Any prescriptions ordered by Providers are subject to state regulations and prescriptions may not be available in your state. In the event that a Provider does prescribe a medication, he/she will limit the supply based on state regulations and will only prescribe a medication, as determined appropriate in his/her sole discretion and professional judgment. There is no guarantee that a prescription will be written.
Any prescriptions that you acquire from a Provider shall be solely for your personal use. You should fully and carefully read all provided product information and labels and contact a physician or pharmacist if you have any questions regarding any prescription that you acquire from a Provider.
About the Digital Health Tools
The Digital Health Tools in the Babylon App may include Symptom Checker (also referred to as Chatbot), My Health, Health Assessment, or Day2Day. Symptom Checker (also referred to as Chatbot) is a symptom checker that provides information about possible matching conditions based on the symptoms you input. Babylon’s mobile application My Health is intended to be used as a health self-management tool that enables users to view and track their health data and receive general lifestyle advice based on the data entered. Users can track their health by manually inputting data or syncing their apps and devices. Health Assessment is a data collection tool used to assist Babylon Care Advisors in gathering information needed to optimize your healthcare experience. Day2Day includes a self-care plan from your healthcare provider that you may use for the management of your own care. Day2Day is not monitored 24/7 by Babylon and is not intended for use as a care management tool. You are responsible for reviewing the support materials in your account profile prior to using the Digital Health Tools to assess whether the Digital Health Tools are suitable for your health information needs.
You may be able to access certain additional Digital Health Tools through the Babylon app related to COVID-19.
Chat, if available, allows you to chat with a support agent who can answer general, non-medical questions you have about your health or COVID-19 and help you make decisions about seeking appropriate medical care.
Information provided by these additional COVID-19 Digital Health Tools is sourced from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and available practice guidelines.
Additionally, we may provide you with the option of setting up push notification medication reminders for yourself, to help you remember to take your medication(s). If you set up medication reminders, you accept the risk of receiving unencrypted health information, which could be seen by others. If you use this feature, you are solely responsible for taking your medication(s) according to the prescribed dose and frequency, and you agree that we shall not be liable for any outcome in connection with your use of and reliance on medication reminders.
Our Digital Health Tools Do Not Provide Medical Advice; Other Important Disclaimers
Our Digital Health Tools are intended for informational purposes only. The outputs from our Digital Health Tools may include content, text, data, graphics, images, photographs, audio, video, information, suggestions, guidance, and other materials provided, made available or otherwise found through the App, including, without limitation, outputs provided in direct response to your inputs (“Outputs”). Outputs are based on general health information for the general population and do not constitute, and are not intended for use as or as a substitute for, medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. The outputs are responsive to information entered, but are not personalized to you and do not diagnose any condition you may or may not have. You should always talk to a qualified medical provider about any questions you may have about a medical condition, symptoms, or your health. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider concerning questions you have regarding your symptoms, health or a medical condition, and before starting, stopping or modifying any treatment, medication or care plan or making any other medical decisions. Any decisions you make affecting your health should always be made in consultation with a medical provider, and not on the basis of our Digital Health Tools or their Outputs. Never delay obtaining medical advice or disregard medical advice because of something you have or have not read on the App. You acknowledge that your use of our Digital Health Tools does not create a medical provider-patient relationship or constitute the practice of medicine or provision of medical care. You acknowledge that you are responsible for consulting with a medical provider whether or not any Outputs suggest seeking further medical advice. Certain features within the Symptom Checker may provide the option to locate hospitals, urgent care facilities, emergency services, or pharmacies. These services are provided by a third-party application and are for planning purposes only. Information from the third-party services may differ from actual conditions or your location at the time of service, and therefore, may not be suitable for your specific situation. It is your responsibility to exercise independent judgment when using these services to ensure that the services are suitable for your specific situation and are safe for end users and other third parties.
WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES IN RELATION TO OUR DIGITAL HEALTH TOOLS, WHICH ARE OFFERED ON AN AS-IS BASIS.
The Digital Health Tools may include content or other Outputs provided by third parties, third-party licensors, aggregators, or reporting services. All statements or opinions expressed in these materials are solely the opinions and the responsibility of the person or entity providing those materials. We are not responsible, or liable to you or any third party, for the content or accuracy of any materials provided by any third parties.
We reserve the right to deny access to Providers in the case of actual or potential misuse of the App or Clinical Services.

Accessing the App and Account Security
We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the App, and any service or material we provide on the App, in our sole discretion without notice.

From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the App, or the entire App. We reserve the right to suspend, discontinue or deny your access to and use of the App for any lawful reason.
You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the App. Our services are accessed remotely using the internet, data networks, and devices which can access the internet and which can operate the App and our website (“Infrastructure”). We make the App and our website available for access using Infrastructure, but are not responsible for Infrastructure ourselves. The App operates only on iPhone version 5S or higher running iOS 11 or higher, or Android-enabled phones running Android v5.0 or higher. Babylon reserves the right to update the iOS and Android versions supported, and to discontinue supporting older versions of iOS or Android, at any time. The App requires a consistent 4G or faster data connection and does not operate reliably on 3G, GPRS or EDGE connections. If you wish to use the App, you should ensure you have an internet-enabled device and a sufficient internet connection available. You acknowledge that technical or security threats or issues affecting the Infrastructure may require us to suspend our services in order to ensure they are secure or operating optimally.
You are responsible for ensuring the security of the Infrastructure you use to access the App. We strongly recommend that if you are using a wireless network to access the App, you avoid use of public wi-fi facilities in favor of a personal wi-fi connection, and that the wireless network is secured with at least WPA-2 security. We recommend that the device from which you access the App is password protected, set to lock after a short period of inactivity, and protected with suitable security features.
You understand that the risk that ePHI contained in an email will be read by a third party, other than the intended recipient, cannot be eliminated. Reasonable measures will be used to protect the security and confidentiality of ePHI sent and received, including the use of encryption and other security technologies to the extent available. However, because of the risks outlined above, it is not possible to guarantee the security and confidentiality of email or push notifications. You understand that if you elect to send or receive ePHI via email or push notifications, we are not responsible for any unauthorized access to your health information that occurs during transmission. Moreover, we bear no responsibility for safeguarding the ePHI once it is transmitted to you.
From time to time, updates to the App may be made available to you. We recommend that you use the latest version of the App at all times, to take advantage of the latest enhancements and important updates.

We may request further information from you and you agree to provide such further information to ensure you have not fraudulently created your Account.
If you choose, or are provided with, a user name, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to this App or portions of it using your user name, password, or other security information.

You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared device so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE, OUR AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF OUR OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE APP, ANY APPS LINKED TO IT, ANY CONTENT ON OR OUTPUT OF THE APP, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE.

THIS SECTION (“LIMITATION ON LIABILITY”) DOES NOT AFFECT ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the App and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction).
Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the App shall, subject to the arbitration provision below, be instituted in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of New York, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your state of residence or any other relevant jurisdiction. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
Disputes
In the interest of resolving disputes between you and us in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms of Use will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that nothing in these Terms of Use 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. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms of Use, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Any arbitration related to your use of the App or Clinical Services will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. 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 us. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Babylon Healthcare Inc.’s address for Notice is: Babylon Healthcare Inc., C/O Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, New Castle County, DE 19801. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“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 Babylon 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 us must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by us in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, we will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) $10,000.
If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, we will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Kings County, New York, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Babylon for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
If any provision in this section (“Disputes”) is found to be valid or unenforceable, all other provisions in this section (“Disputes”) will remain valid and enforceable, except that if the preceding paragraph is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this section (“Disputes”) is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this section (“Disputes”) will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the jurisdiction and venue described in the preceding section (“Governing Law and Jurisdiction”) will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms of Use.
If we make any future change to the arbitration provisions in this section, other than a change to our address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to our address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your Babylon App account will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will survive.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us and our personnel, agents, and affiliates harmless from and against all third party claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms of Use or violation of applicable law.
Limitation on Time to File Claims
TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE APP MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by us of any term or condition set out 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 of us to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
Assignment of Rights
The agreement for our services is between you and us, and no other party. There are no intended third party beneficiaries of this agreement.
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these terms to another organization, but this will not affect your rights under these Terms of Use.
Entire Agreement
These Terms of Use constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and the Clinical Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the App and the Clinical Services.
