The Service is continually under development, and we reserve the right to revise or remove any part of this Agreement or the Service in our sole discretion at any time and without prior notice to you.

Your Relationship with Us
TBD Health’s core business is to facilitate direct to consumer testing for sexually transmitted infections (“STIs”) and offer sexual health consults in connection with the STI test results and regarding sexual health more broadly. We make certain products and services sold or offered by (a) TBD Health, (b) third party-licensed medical providers, CLIA certified laboratories, or pharmacies (collectively, the “Providers”), or (c) other vendors available to individuals who register as users of the Service (“Users”). TBD Health is not a laboratory and does not manufacture or own any laboratory tests or medical devices. TBD Health offers you access to licensed healthcare professionals either via telemedicine or in-person at our Las Vegas, Nevada or Denver, Colorado clinics, or a combination of the above.
Any services you receive from the Providers or other vendors may be subject to additional terms and conditions from those Providers or vendors. Currently, the Providers provide the Service in connection with sexual health, and the Service is not appropriate for all medical conditions. Your interactions with the Providers via the Platform are not intended to take the place of your relationship with your regular health care practitioners or primary care physician.
We do not control or interfere with the practice of medicine by the Providers and each of the Providers is solely responsible for the medical care and treatment or other services he or she provides to you. TBD Health makes no representations or warranties about the suitability, reliability, timeliness or accuracy of the medical care and treatment provided by the Providers. You acknowledge that your reliance on any Providers or information delivered by the Providers via the Platform is solely at your own risk and you assume full responsibility for all risks associated herewith.
In connection with such relationship, you may provide to us, or cause to be provided to us on your behalf, personal information, including health information, that is subject to use by us in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Consent to Communications
By using the Platform or Service or otherwise sending us emails, messages, and other communications, you are communicating with us electronically. You acknowledge and agree that TBD Health and Providers may send you messages, reports, and emails via the Service regarding your care and/or the Service or products available. You further understand and agree that it is your sole responsibility to monitor and respond to these messages, reports, and emails and that TBD Health will not monitor these messages or otherwise participate in your care. Neither TBD Health nor any Provider will be responsible and you will not hold TBD Health or any Provider liable for any loss, injury, or claims of any kind resulting from your failure to read or respond to these messages or for your failure to comply with any treatment recommendations or instructions from TBD Health or the Provider(s).
By providing your mobile number, you are agreeing to be contacted by or on behalf of TBD Health at the mobile number you have provided, including calls and text messages, to receive informational, and communications relating to the website and Service. Message and data rates may apply. To stop receiving text messages, follow the opt-out instructions in the text message.
TBD Health is committed to being compliant with the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (“CAM-SPAM Act”) and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”). Emails, newsletters, and text messages received from us are intended to fully comply with the CAM-SPAM Act and the TCPA. In the event you receive an email or text message from us which you do not believe is fully compliant with the CAN-SPAM Act or the TCPA, please contact us immediately at hello@tbd.health.
Prescription Products
TBD Health partners with third party pharmacies to make certain additional products available to you through the Platform. TBD Health is not a pharmacy and is not responsible for stocking, maintaining, dispensing, or shipping any drug products. Certain products available through the Platform require a valid prescription by a licensed healthcare provider. You will not be able to obtain a prescription product through the Platform unless you have completed a consultation with one of the Providers, the Provider has determined the prescription product is appropriate for you, and the Provider has written a prescription.
If a Provider determines a prescription product is appropriate for you and writes a prescription, you may either order the prescription through the Platform and it will be filled and dispensed by one of our third party pharmacy partners, or you may fill the prescription at any pharmacy of your choice. Providers do not provide or prescribe any DEA controlled substances or scheduled medications. Providers reserve the right to deny care for actual or potential misuse of the Service.
Terms of Sale
All products offered for sale by TBD Health are subject to availability and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order or reject all or any part of an order without prior notice. In the event of an error, we reserve the right to correct the error and revise your order accordingly (which includes charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged. Prices for products are subject to change at any time, but changes will not affect any order for products you have already placed. You are responsible for any applicable sales, use, duty, customs or other governmental taxes, levies or fees (“Taxes”) due with respect to your purchase of products or services through our Service. We will collect applicable Taxes if we determine we have a duty to collect Taxes. We will present an estimate of Taxes we collect at checkout, except where we have clearly stated in writing that a price includes Taxes. The actual Taxes charged may be adjusted from the amount shown at checkout. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates. We are not required to, and do not, collect Taxes in all states. You may have a duty to directly report and pay Taxes if we do not collect such Taxes.
Only valid payment methods acceptable to us may be used to complete a purchase via the Service. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use your designated payment method. You authorize us to charge your designated payment method for the total amount of your order (including any applicable taxes and shipping and handling charges). If any of the products in your order are unavailable, we will only charge the prices, Taxes and other applicable charges associated with the products that are included in the shipment. In connection with any purchase you make through the service, you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to the transaction, including, without limitation, your credit card number and expiration date, your billing address, your shipping address, your phone number and/or your email address. By submitting such information, you grant TBD Health without charge the right to provide such information to third parties (e.g., payment processing companies, buyers on the Service, sellers on the Service) for the purpose of facilitating the transaction.
All credit card, debit card and other monetary transactions on or through the Service occur through an online payment processing application(s) accessible through the Service. This online payment processing application(s) is provided by TBD Health’ third-party online payment processing vendor, Authorize.net (“Authorize”). Additional information about Authorize, its privacy policy and its information security measures (collectively, the “Authorize Policies”) should be available on the Authorize website located at https://www.authorize.net or by contacting Authorize directly. Reference is made to the Authorize Policies for informational purposes only and are in no way incorporated into or made a part of this Privacy Policy.
You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges, if any, shown at the time you make a purchase. We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add or eliminate shipping and handling charges from time to time, but we will provide notice of the changes applicable to you before you make your purchase. Any delivery dates or times shown as part of the checkout process are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Unless we state otherwise in writing via the Service, risk of loss or damage to a product passes to you upon delivery of the product to our designated carrier.
We reserve the right to remedy User issues and concerns in connection with the Service on a case by case basis. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to resolve customer issues and concerns based on the facts and circumstances of each User.
Limited Use, Availability, and Access
Our Service is currently only available to individuals who are located in those states in which we offer the Service and are at least fifteen (15) years of age, and either (i) have reached the age of majority under state law, (ii) state law permits a minor to consent to the Services, or (iii) a parent or guardian has authorized the individual to obtain the Services. By visiting, accessing, registering with or using the Service, you are: (a) representing and warranting to us that you satisfy all of these eligibility requirements; (b) representing and warranting that when you use the Service to consult with a Provider, you are located in the same state as the shipping address you provide in your account; (c) agreeing to comply with all applicable laws in visiting, accessing, registering with, or using the service; and (d) agreeing that you will only use the Service for lawful purposes.

In some cases, the Service may not be the most appropriate way for you to provide information to, communicate with, or seek medical care and treatment from a healthcare provider. For example, certain medical conditions may require an in-person procedure or a healthcare provider other than your Provider, or your Provider may determine that your diagnosis and/or treatment requires an in-person office visit or are otherwise not appropriately addressed through use of the Service. In such a case, you may receive notification that you will be unable to use the Service for the particular issue you submitted and provides additional information regarding next steps.
Your Duty to Provide Information, Access, and Connectivity
You are responsible for providing and maintaining, at your own risk, option and expense, appropriate software and hardware capabilities (consistent with any technical, quality or other requirements described in the Service) to enable use of the Service, including but not limited to, a computer or mobile device with a video camera and Internet access. You are solely responsible for any fees, including Internet connection or mobile fees, that you incur when accessing the Service. You also have a duty to provide truthful, accurate and complete information in any forms or other communications you submit to or through the Service. We reserve the right to change the access configuration, including any software, hardware or other requirements of the Service at any time without prior notice.

To help protect the privacy of data you transmit through the Service, where personally identifiable information is requested, we also use technology designed to encrypt the information that you input before it is sent to us using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology or similar encryption technology. In addition, we take steps to protect the User data we collect against unauthorized access. However, you should keep in mind that the Service and our services are run on software, hardware, and networks, any component of which may, from time to time, require maintenance or experience problems or breaches of security beyond our control.

Entire Agreement
This Agreement and any other agreements TBD Health may make publicly available in connection with the Service or that you and TBD Health may execute from to time constitute the entire agreement between TBD Health and you in connection with your use of the Service and supersede any prior agreements between TBD Health and you regarding use of the Service, including prior versions of this Agreement.
Disputes; Binding Arbitration; Class Waiver
Please read this section carefully, as it affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit.
Binding Arbitration
YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR OTHER CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND TBD HEALTH OR YOU AND ANY OF THE PROVIDERS ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO TBD HEALTH, THE PLATFORM, THE CONTENT, OR THE SERVICE, OR ANY OTHER TBD HEALTH GOODS, SERVICES, OR ADVERTISING, INCLUDING CONTROVERSIES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT (COLLECTIVELY “DISPUTES”), SHALL BE RESOLVED IN CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BEFORE ONE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATOR FROM THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”), RATHER THAN IN A COURT, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA'S COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND, IF THE ARBITRATOR DEEMS THEM APPLICABLE, THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (COLLECTIVELY “RULES AND PROCEDURES”). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. The right to discovery may also be more limited in arbitration than in court. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual.
Payment of arbitration costs will be governed by the AAA’s fee schedule, unless you are able to show that your portion will be prohibitive as compared to litigation costs, in which case TBD Health will pay as much of your arbitration costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation costs. TBD Health also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all arbitration costs imposed by the AAA. Each party agrees to pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid attorneys’ fees and expenses.
The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, NY, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing or as otherwise required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Exceptions
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the Dispute arises from: (a) a violation of either party’s intellectual property rights in any manner; (b) any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, unauthorized use or a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; and/or (c) any claim for equitable relief; then you and TBD Health agree that a party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court in Connecticut, and both parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts in connection with such proceedings. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Disputes that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration as long as such action remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
Class Action Waiver
ALL DISPUTES SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. NO PARTY MAY BRING ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS PROCEEDING. THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY 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(S). If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim or request for relief, then such claim or request for relief (and only that claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Connecticut, subject to the parties’ respective rights to appeal the decision. All other claims or requests for relief shall be arbitrated. The parties agree that any claims or requests for relief that are severed from an arbitration may not proceed in litigation and shall be stayed until all claims between the parties remaining in arbitration are finally resolved. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Connecticut for purposes of resolving any claims or requests for relief severed from arbitration pursuant to this paragraph.
