Terms of Use

Last updated: March 22, 2023

First Opinion Services, Inc., Curai, Inc. and the professional entities to which Curai, Inc. provides management services (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Curai Health”) are pleased to offer you a platform for communicating electronically about your health. These Terms of Use (these “Terms”) govern your access to, and use, of the services available through the platform, including our website (“the Website”), our mobile application(s) (“Apps”) and all content, information and/or materials provided in connection therewith (all of the foregoing, collectively the “Services”). These Terms are important, contain legal obligations and affect your legal rights, so please read them carefully. Note that Section 16 of these Terms contains a mandatory arbitration provision that requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis and limits the remedies available to you in the event of certain disputes.

By clicking "I Accept" or by accessing or using our Services or creating an Account, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, including the mandatory arbitration provision and class action waiver set forth herein, you may not access or use the Services.

Important Notices

The Services are not intended to provide instructions in the event of an emergency. If you believe your symptom or situation is urgent or life-threatening, call 911 or your local emergency medical system immediately.
Do not delay or forgo seeking medical care from a health care provider if you have questions, concerns, or symptoms related to health topics or information that may be presented or referenced on the Services.
Application of or reliance on any of the content, techniques, ideas, or suggestions accessed through the Services is at your sole discretion and risk.
We do not recommend or endorse any specific drugs, tests, Providers, products, procedures, opinions, “off-label” drug uses, or any other information that may be provided through Services.

Nature of Services.

The Services enable you to (1) receive health and wellness-related information and education from clinical associates, medical assistants, health coaches and other care team members who are not U.S. licensed healthcare providers (“Care Team services), and/or (2) communicate with healthcare providers who are licensed in one or more U.S. states via virtual care consultations (“Telemedicine Consultations”) (collectively, the “Care Services”). The unlicensed care team members and licensed healthcare providers who are delivering the Care Services shall be collectively referred to herein as “Providers.” The Care Services are intended to allow you to ask Providers questions regarding non-emergency health-related issues.

The Services also include the Curai Health Assistant, an AI helper that gathers information about you through a chat feature to help your Provider understand your needs and give you personalized care as quickly as possible. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study and, given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, Curai Health Assistant may in some situations provide output that does not accurately reflect or correctly respond to input you provide. Output from Curai Health Assistant will be reviewed by your Provider. You acknowledge that your use of Curai Health Assistant does not create a medical provider-patient relationship or constitute the practice of medicine or provision of medical care. Curai Health Assistant does not diagnose or treat any medical condition or make other decisions about your health, and it is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of a qualified provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

Certain features of the Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions (“Additional Terms”). We may present Additional Terms to you when you activate or use a feature to which Additional Terms apply (either in the form of disclaimers or notices, or a separate document), and your use of any feature subject to Additional Terms constitutes your acceptance of such Additional Terms before using such feature. For example, Additional Terms apply to the Care Services, as set forth below. Unless otherwise stated in the Additional Terms, all Additional Terms are incorporated into these Terms. If you do not agree with the Additional Terms, you will not have access to the feature to which they relate. These Terms and Additional Terms apply equally. If any Additional Term is inconsistent with any provision of these Terms, the Additional Term will prevail only for the feature(s) to which that Additional Term applies and only to the extent inconsistent.

Privacy.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use and disclose information about you.

Care Services; Payment

Dial 911 in the event of a medical emergency. The Services are not intended to provide instructions or help in the event of an emergency. If you believe your condition or situation is life-threatening, please call 911 or your emergency medical system immediately. Do not rely on or attempt to use the Services for any urgent medical needs.

The Care Services are delivered virtually (as opposed to in-person), which may limit the scope and nature of the assistance provided to you. You hereby acknowledge these limitations and agree to proceed with the Care Services. You understand that the Care Services will be provided to you at the sole discretion of the Provider who is interacting with you, with no guarantee of diagnosis, treatment, or prescription.

Health Education and Care Coordination Services: First Opinion Health Services, Inc. has contracted with Providers who are not licensed healthcare professionals to act as care team members to enable the delivery of educational and information services, as well as to assist with some care coordination activities within the scope of their practice. You acknowledge and understand that the Providers delivering these services are not licensed healthcare providers, may be located outside of the U.S. and English may be a second language. These care team services are not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any disease or condition. It is not intended to substitute for the advice, treatment and/or diagnosis of a qualified licensed professional. Providers acting in this role may not make any medical diagnoses, claims and/or substitute for your personal physician’s care, and will not provide a second opinion or in any way attempt to alter the treatment plans or therapeutic goals/recommendations of your personal physician. It is the role of the Provider to partner with you to provide ongoing support and accountability as you create an action plan to meet and maintain your health goals.

Telemedicine Consultation Services: First Opinion Health Services, Inc. and other professional entities to which Curai, Inc. provides management services have contracted with licensed physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants or other healthcare professionals to provide Telemedicine Consultations. You acknowledge and agree that not every condition is appropriate for treatment via telemedicine. The Provider will determine whether or not the condition being diagnosed and/or treated is appropriate for a telemedicine encounter. The Providers delivering Telemedicine Consultations are not acting as employees or contractors of Curai Health, Inc. nor Curai, Inc., as neither entity provides, nor is it responsible, for any healthcare services that are provided to you. Telemedicine Consultations are not available in every state, nor are they available at all times, and we reserve the right to limit participation in Telemedicine Consultations due to our staffing constraints or any other reason.

Please see our Telehealth Informed Consent for a description of the risks and benefits of telemedicine. The Consent to Telehealth is hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference and constitutes a part of these Terms.

You certify that you are physically located in the state you select in the Services as your current location at the time of your receipt of the Care Services. Your ability to access and use the Care Services is conditioned on the truthfulness of this certification. The Providers that you access through the Service rely upon this certification in order to interact with you. If your certification is inaccurate, you agree to indemnify us and the Providers with whom you interact from any resulting losses, damages, costs, or expenses.

Payment for Services: By providing a credit card or other payment method accepted by us (“Payment Method”), you are expressly agreeing that we are (or our service provider is) authorized to charge the Payment Method for the total amount of the fees associated with your use of the Service, together with any applicable taxes (collectively, as applicable, a “Purchase”). If the Payment Method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your Purchase may be suspended or cancelled. You must resolve any payment method problems before we proceed with your Purchase. If a payment is not successfully settled and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your Purchase or account, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated.

Auto Renewal Policy:

WHEN YOU REGISTER FOR A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (A) CURAI HEALTH (OR OUR THIRD-PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR) IS AUTHORIZED TO CHARGE YOU ON A MONTHLY BASIS FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION (IN ADDITION TO ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) FOR AS LONG AS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES, AND (B) YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IS CONTINUOUS UNTIL YOU CANCEL IT OR WE SUSPEND OR STOP PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE SERVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS. YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME BY MANAGING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IN YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS OR BY SENDING A REQUEST BY EMAIL TO SUPPORT@CURAI.COM.

From time to time, to the extent legally permitted, we may offer free trials of certain subscriptions for specified periods of time without payment. If we offer you a free trial, the specific terms of your free trial will be provided in the marketing materials describing the particular trial or at registration. Free trials are limited to one (1) per household.

ONCE YOUR FREE TRIAL ENDS, WE (OR OUR THIRD-PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR) WILL BEGIN BILLING YOUR DESIGNATED PAYMENT METHOD ON A RECURRING BASIS FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION (PLUS ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) FOR AS LONG AS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES, UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR FREE TRIAL. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANCELING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION ARE DESCRIBED ABOVE. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE FROM US THAT YOUR FREE TRIAL HAS ENDED OR THAT THE PAID PORTION OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION HAS BEGUN. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR TERMINATE FREE TRIALS AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT NOTICE AND IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

You agree that authorizations to charge your Payment Method remain in effect until you cancel it in writing, and you agree to notify us of any changes to your Payment Method. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the Payment Method and will not dispute charges for the Service that correspond to consultation fees or the co-payment required by your health plan. You acknowledge that the origination of Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) transactions to your account must comply with applicable provisions of U.S. law. In the case of an ACH transaction rejected for insufficient funds, we may at our discretion attempt to process the charge again at any time within 30 days.

We will collect applicable sales tax on services for which we determine we have a duty to collect sales tax. If a service is subject to sales tax, you agree that the amount of taxes shown at checkout may be adjusted. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates.

You acknowledge and agree that fees for consultations may increase at any time.

Curai Health will refund your membership if you have not had a visit during the billing period. You can send a request for a refund to support@curai.com. You can request a refund for up to 30 days from the date you paid the monthly membership fee. If 30 days have passed since your payment, a refund is not applicable.

Disclaimer of Warranties.

YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT USE OF THE SERVICES AND CONTENT IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. CURAI HEALTH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, OPERABILITY, CONDITION, QUIET ENJOYMENT, VALUE, AND ACCURACY OF DATA. CURAI HEALTH MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES OR CONTENT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR FREE; NOR DOES CURAI HEALTH MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR CONTENT, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE SERVICES OR CONTENT WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES OR CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES IS DONE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF SUCH MATERIAL AND/OR INFORMATION. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM CURAI HEALTH OR THROUGH THE SERVICES OR CONTENT WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE HEREIN.

The Services and Content are not intended to provide a substitute for your own sound and reasonably prudent judgment, and are not intended to be for diagnosis or treatment. Persons using the Services and Content assume full responsibility for the use of the Services, Content, materials and other information provided, and agree that Curai Health is not responsible or liable for any claim, loss, or damage arising from their use. Your reliance on the Services and Content obtained or used by you is solely at your own risk except as provided by law.

Some states may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. But, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all warranties.

Limitation of Liability.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE CURAI HEALTH PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF SUCH PARTIES WERE ADVISED OF, KNEW OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY), ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), WARRANTY, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE CURAI HEALTH PARTIES (JOINTLY) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO ACCESS OR USE OF THE SERVICES OR CONTENT, EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE ONE (1) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH YOUR CLAIM AROSE.

You further agree that the limitations of liability set forth above will survive any termination or expiration of these Terms and will apply even if any limited remedy specified herein is found to have failed its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, and as a result some of the above disclaimers may not apply to you. To the extent we may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any implied warranty or limit its liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of our liability shall be the minimum permitted under applicable law.

Mutual Rights of Termination.

You may terminate these Terms, for any or no reason, at any time, upon notice to Curai Health. Curai Health may terminate or suspend your use of the Services, your account, and/or your registration without notice, for any or no reason, and at any time. You understand that termination of your agreement with Curai Health and your account will not entitle you to any refund and may involve deletion of your information and any content you uploaded using such Account, except that Curai Health will provide you with access to your health records in Curai Health’s possession as a result of your receipt of Care Services as may be required under applicable legal, ethical, and professional obligations. You agree that we will not be liable to you or any other party for any termination of your access to the Services or deletion of your Account or Content uploaded by you.

Dispute Resolution; Arbitration.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH CURAI HEALTH AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US, INCLUDING A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THIS SECTION 16 APPLIES TO ALL DISPUTES (UNLESS EXCLUDED UNDER SECTION 16.1) BETWEEN YOU AND THE CURAI HEALTH PARTIES.

16.1 Binding Arbitration.

Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and Curai Health agree (a) to waive your and Curai Health’s respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms, or the Services or Content, resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and Curai Health’s respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and Curai Health agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).

16.2. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions.

You and Curai Health agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the Services or Content is personal to you and Curai Health and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You and Curai Health agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and Curai Health agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.

16.3. Federal Arbitration Act.

You and Curai Health agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 16 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

16.4. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution.

You and Curai Health agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to Curai Health shall be sent by certified mail or courier to Attn: Legal Dept, Curai, Inc., 2443 Fillmore St. #380-15799, San Francisco, CA 94114. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your Account and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent electronically in accordance with Section 4 and will include (x) our name, postal address, telephone number and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute, (y) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (z) the specific relief that we are seeking. If you and Curai Health cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or Curai Health may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 16, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in Section 16.1, file a claim in court.

16.5. Process.

You and Curai Health agree that (a) any arbitration will occur (i) in the State of California, County of Santa Clara, (ii) in the county where you reside, or (iii) telephonically, (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, as modified by the terms set forth herein (“AAA Rules”), which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (c) that the seat of the arbitration shall be San Francisco, California and that state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of California, County of Santa Clara, have exclusive jurisdiction over any litigation in aid of arbitration and the enforcement of any arbitration awards.

The parties shall attempt to agree on the single arbitrator to be appointed to resolve the dispute. If the parties are unable to reach agreement within 30 days after commencement of the arbitration with the AAA, the arbitrator selection process identified in the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules shall apply. Each party shall be responsible for its costs incurred in such arbitration, but the arbitrator shall not have the authority to re-allocate those costs in an award or otherwise. If you cannot afford to pay for the arbitration, you agree to provide us the option of paying the arbitrator before seeking to initiate any other form of dispute resolution, including litigation. As part of the arbitration, both you and Curai Health will have the opportunity to reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant and material to the Dispute, including the ability to request from each other, and third parties, documents, information and testimony that is relevant and material to the Dispute.

16.6. Authority of Arbitrator.

As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

16.7. AAA Rules.

The AAA Rules and additional information about the AAA are available on the AAA website.

Apple Device Additional Terms.

If you access an App via a mobile device or tablet branded by Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) and running Apple’s iOS (an “Apple Device”), the following terms (“Apple Terms”) are hereby made part of these Terms:

If these Apple Terms conflict with any other provision of these Terms, then the Apple Terms control with respect to access and use of the Digital Services via an Apple Device. Apple is not a party to these Terms and does not own and is not responsible for any App you access via your Apple Device (“iOS App”) and the content thereof. The Apple App Store Terms of Service (the “App Store Terms of Service”) control to the extent of any conflict with these Terms with respect to an iOS App. The license granted to use an iOS App is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on an Apple Device that you own or control and as permitted by the usage rules set forth in the App Store Terms of Service. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to any iOS App. In the event of any failure of the iOS App to conform to any applicable warranty provided by Curai Health in these Terms, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price for the iOS App (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the iOS App and will not be responsible for any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty. Apple is not responsible for addressing your or any third-party claims relating to an iOS App and/or use of an iOS App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that an iOS App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. It is not the intent of these Terms to limit Curai Health’s liability beyond what is permitted by applicable law. In the event of any third party claim that an iOS App or your possession and use (in accordance with these Terms) of an iOS App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Apple will not be responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim. In addition to the requirements of Section 3, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with respect to any iOS App, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple has the right (and deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the Terms against you with respect to the iOS App as a third-party beneficiary thereof. Please direct any questions, complaints or claims with respect to an iOS App to Curai Health at the contact information provided below.

Severability.

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give the effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and that the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.

Survival.

The following sections will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms and the termination of your Account: all defined terms and Sections 2 through 9, and 12 through 24.

Miscellaneous.

These Terms, and any other terms and policies incorporated herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Curai Health relating to your access to and use of the Services. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Curai Health. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will constitute a waiver of such provision in any prior, concurrent or subsequent circumstance, and Curai Health’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.

Use of AI Translation.

Curai uses software-based translation to deliver content / its service in other languages besides English.

Information We Collect From Third Parties

We may receive information other people provide us, which may include information about you, in connection with one or more business purposes.

Use of Information

We may use your information for various purposes related to our operations and your use of the Services. For example, Curai Health may use your information to:

Provide, maintain and improve our Services and provide you with relevant information;
Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts and support and administrative messages;

Carry out any other purpose described to you at the time the information was collected.

We also may use aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you. Once de-identified and aggregated so that data does not personally identify you (for example, we may aggregate data in order to improve our automation and improve care), it is no longer personal information. Such de-identified and/or aggregated information which does not identify individuals is not subject to this Privacy Policy.

Sharing of Information

We may share information about you as follows or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy:

With vendors, consultants and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work or perform the Services on our behalf;
With third party businesses to provide you with information about products and services that may be useful to you;
In response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process;
If we believe your actions are inconsistent with our Terms of Use or other policies, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Curai Health or others;
In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, acquisition, sale of assets or any business, other change of control transaction or financing;
Between and among Curai Health and any current or future parent, subsidiary and/or affiliated company; and

We also may share aggregated or de-identified information, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

Third-Party Analytics

We partner with certain third-parties to collect, analyze, and use some of the information described above.

How We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals

Some web browsers have “Do Not Track” or similar features that allow you to tell each website you visit that you do not want your activities on that website tracked. At present, the Services do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals and consequently, the Services will continue to collect information about you even if your browser’s “Do Not Track” feature is activated.

Retention of Your Information

As a general matter, we will keep your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. If a law requires us to retain your information for a longer period of time, we will comply with that law. We will also retain your personal information as necessary to protect our legal rights.

Security

Curai Health takes reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to or from us over the Internet. In particular, email sent to or from the Services may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email.

Third-Party Websites

You may click on links on our Services to access other websites that do not operate under this Privacy Policy. These third-party websites may independently solicit and collect information, including health information, from you and, in some instances, provide us with information about your activities on those websites. We recommend that you consult the privacy policies of all third-party websites you visit. Any access to and use of such third-party websites is not governed by this Privacy Policy, but instead is governed by the privacy policies of those third-party websites. We are not responsible for the information practices of such third-party websites.

You may access, correct, and/or request deletion of certain information that you have provided to us by contacting us through the Services, or by emailing us at support@curaihealth.com. If you email us, for your protection, we may only implement requests with respect to the information associated with the particular email address you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request. We will attempt to comply with any reasonable requests for accessing, correcting, or deleting your information; however we may be unable to accommodate your request under certain circumstances, such as if we need to retain your information, including Protected Health Information that is subject to our Notice of Privacy Practices, to comply with our legal obligations.

While we may be unable to delete certain pieces of information from your medical record, at your request, we can de-activate your secure account so that you and others can no longer access it with your username and password.

With your consent, we may collect information about your actual location when you use our Apps. You may stop the collection of this information at any time by changing the settings on your mobile device, but note that some features of our Apps may no longer function if you do so.

Native Applications on Mobile Device

If you have questions about use of the Telehealth Technology itself and whether it is appropriate for your condition, the risks associated with using the Telehealth Technology, or the Provider’s credentials and professional background, please ask your Provider. In exchange for your use of the Telehealth Technology to receive care, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions of this informed consent (this "Consent"):

Use of Telehealth Technology. You understand and agree that:

There are many benefits, but also risks associated with receiving care via Telehealth Technology. Benefits include convenience, increased access, and the ability to receive care in your home. Risks are outlined in Section 2 below.
The Provider will decide, in his or her sole discretion, whether it is appropriate to treat your condition using the Telehealth Technology. The Provider may request that you halt receiving care via Telehealth Technology and instead receive in-person care if the Provider deems appropriate.
Services provided through Telehealth Technology may include behavioral health services, including tele-psychiatry, and you expressly agree to receive such services through Telehealth Technology.
If you are a parent or legal guardian of a minor that is seeking to receive mental health treatment through Telehealth Technology, you agree that (1) you are providing this Consent on behalf of your minor child, and (2) you will verify your identity before any services are delivered to your minor child.

Your Provider will protect the privacy and security of any personal medical information transmitted through Telehealth Technology in accordance with federal, state, and other applicable law.
You have the right to request copies of your medical records, which may be provided electronically or in hard copy format at reasonable cost of preparation, shipping and delivery.

You acknowledge that, although Curai Health and its telehealth technology vendor strive to prevent unauthorized access to information about you through encryption of information transmitted by the Telehealth Technology and other security measures, Curai Health and its vendor cannot guarantee that your use of the Telehealth Technology and the information will be private or secure, and you consent to this risk. You understand and consent to the risks associated with your use of the Telehealth Technology.
Your Telehealth Provider’s Credentials. You acknowledge that your health care provider’s credentials were made available to you before receiving care. If you have any questions about these credentials, please direct them to your health care provider.
Accuracy of Information Submitted to the Provider. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring that the information submitted by you through the Telehealth Technology is accurate, complete and current at all times when you use the Telehealth Technology. You understand that the Provider will rely on this information to provide services to you.
Release and Waiver. You acknowledge and agree to limit, disclaim, and release Curai Health from liability in connection with the use of Telehealth Technology.
Expenses. You understand and agree that you may be responsible for the cost of certain professional fees associated with your use of the Telehealth Technology and the cost of any medications or supplies prescribed by the Provider, if applicable.
Other Legal Terms. This Consent cannot be amended by Curai Health except in writing and with your consent. If any provision is or becomes unenforceable or invalid, the other provisions will continue with the same effect.
Right to Revoke. You have the right to withhold or withdraw your consent to the use of Telehealth Technologies in the course of your care at any time, without affecting your right to future care or treatment. You may suspend or terminate access to the services at any time for any reason or for no reason in accordance with this Section 7. You understand that you can revoke this Consent by sending written notice using electronic mail to Curai Health at: support.curaihealth.com (“Revocation”). You agree that your Revocation must contain your name and your address. You also understand that your Revocation means that you are not permitted to receive care using Telehealth Technology. Your Revocation will be effective upon Curai Health’s receipt of your written notice, except that your Revocation will not have any effect on any action taken by the Provider in reliance on this Consent before Curai Health received your written notice of Revocation.

Privacy Consent
