1. Privacy Practices
You agree that information provided by you in connection with the Services and Site shall be governed by the ADL Health Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated and made a part of these Terms of Use.
2. Services Provided – No Medical Care or Advice by ADL Health
We offer an online platform for individuals to coordinate access to Services. ADL Health does not provide medical advice or care. ADL Health contracts with a network of independent United States based Providers who provide clinical services. The Providers are independent of ADL Health and are merely using the Site as a way to coordinate access for you. Any information or advice received from a Provider comes from them alone, and not from ADL Health. Your interactions with the providers are not intended to take the place of your relationship with any other of your health care practitioners or primary care physician. Neither ADL Health, nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any third party who may promote the Site or Service, shall be liable for any professional advice obtained from a Provider, nor any information obtained on the Site. ADL Health does not recommend or endorse any specific Providers, tests, physicians, medications, products, or procedures. You acknowledge that your reliance on any Providers or information delivered by the Providers is solely at your own risk and you assume full responsibility for all risks associated herewith. ADL Health does not make any representations or warranties about the training or skill of any Providers who deliver clinical services. You are ultimately responsible for choosing your particular Provider. The content of the Site and the Services, including without limitation, text, copy, audio, video, photographs, illustrations, graphics and other visuals, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or recommendations of any kind by ADL Health. You should always seek the advice of your qualified health care professionals with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your individual needs and any medical conditions. All information provided by ADL Health, is intended to be for general information purposes only, and is in no way intended to create a provider-patient relationship as defined by state or federal law. ADL Health does not provide medical services, and the doctor-patient relationship is between you and the Provider you ultimately select.
Not for Emergencies
IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD DIAL “911” IMMEDIATELY.
ADL Health’s Site and Services are not for medical emergencies or urgent situations. You should not disregard or delay to seek medical advice based on anything that appears or does not appear on the Site. If you believe you have an emergency, call 9-1-1 immediately. You should seek emergency help or follow up care when recommended by a Provider or when otherwise needed. You should continue to consult with your primary provider and other healthcare professionals as recommended. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider concerning questions you have regarding a medical condition and before stopping, starting, or modifying any treatment or modification.
Receipt of In-Person Care
I understand that if I receive in-person care from Providers as a result of using the Site, at the time of such care, the risks and benefits of treatment will be explained to me and I should have the opportunity to ask my health care provider (who is not affiliated with ADL Health) questions about such risks and benefits of treatment and anything I do not understand about the treatment.
Not an Insurance Product
ADL Health is not an insurer. The Services are not insurance products, and the amounts you pay to ADL Health are not insurance premiums.

20. Supplemental Terms Applicable to Providers
These supplemental terms apply to Providers in addition the other provisions of these Terms of Use. In the event of a conflict between the supplemental terms and any other terms herein, the supplemental terms shall prevail.
To be a healthcare provider using the Site (for purposes of this Section 20, “Provider” or “you”) you must be a licensed physician, nurse practitioner, or healthcare professional contracted or employed by ADL Health, and must agree to comply with all laws, medical board rules and other rules and regulations applicable to you as a Provider or otherwise. Your relationship with the ADL Health users is directly between you and the patient. The patient will never have a physician-patient relationship with ADL Health. ADL Health does not practice medicine and offers no medical services. As set forth more fully below, Provider is solely responsible for all agreements, consents, notices and other interactions with patients and other consumers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Provider is solely responsible for all billings and collections from patients and other consumers, except that ADL Health, may conduct billing and collections from patients and other consumers. ADL Health shall have no liability whatsoever to Provider with respect to any amounts owed by any patient or other consumer to Provider.
ADL Health does not provide any medical advice, legal advice, or representations in any way regarding any legal or medical issues associated with Provider, goods or services offered by Provider, including but not limited to any compliance obligations or steps necessary to comply with any state or federal laws and regulations. Provider should seek legal counsel regarding any legal and compliance issues, and should not rely on any materials or content associated with the Services in determining Provider’s compliance obligations under law. Provider and ADL Health agree that ADL Health is not providing, to customer or anyone else, medical advice or legal advice.
Provider will use the Site and Services only in accordance with applicable standards of good medical practice. While software products such as the Site and Services can facilitate and improve the quality of service that Provider can offer patients, many factors, including but not limited to the provider/patient relationship can affect a patient outcome, and with intricate and interdependent technologies and complex decision-making it is often difficult or impossible to accurately determine what the factors were and in what proportion they affected an outcome. Provider shall be solely responsible for its use of the Site and Services, and the provision of medical services to Provider’s patients. In this regard, Provider releases ADL Health and waives any and all potential claims against ADL Health as a result of Provider’s use of the Site and Services, and the provision of services to Provider’s patients.
As a result of the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the patient care process, Provider agrees to defend, indemnify and hold ADL Health harmless from any claim by or on behalf of any patient of Provider, or by or on behalf of any other third party or person claiming damage by virtue of a familial or financial relationship with such a patient, which is brought against ADL Health, regardless of the cause if such claim arises for any reason whatsoever, out of Provider’s use or operation of the Site and Services. To the extent applicable, Provider will obtain ADL Health’s prior written consent to any settlement or judgment in which Provider agrees to any finding of fault of ADL Health or defect in the Site or Services. ADL Health will promptly notify Provider in writing of any claim subject to this indemnification, promptly provide Provider with the information reasonably required for the defense of the same, and grant to Provider exclusive control over its defense and settlement.
If you submit, upload, transmit, or post any consents, notices, advice, recommendations, comments, files, videos, images or other materials to us or our Site (“Provider Content”), solely in an effort to improve the functioning of the Site for providers, you agree not to provide any Provider Content that (a) is defamatory, abusive, libelous, unlawful, obscene, threatening, harassing, fraudulent, pornographic, or harmful, or that could encourage criminal or unethical behavior, (b) violates or infringes the privacy, copyright, trademark, trade dress, trade secrets, or intellectual property rights of any person or entity, or (c) contains or transmits a virus or any other harmful component. Provider is solely responsible for obtaining all necessary agreements and consents from, and providing all required notices to, patients and other consumers in conjunction with in-person medical examination activities. You agree not to contact other users through unsolicited e-mail, telephone calls, mailings or any other method of communication. You represent and warrant to ADL Health that you have the legal right and authorization to upload all Provider Content at the Site. ADL Health shall have a royalty-free, irrevocable, transferable right and license to use the Provider Content however ADL Health desires, including without limitation, to copy, modify, delete in its entirety, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from and/or sell and/or distribute such Provider Content and/or incorporate such Provider Content into any form, medium or technology throughout the world. ADL Health is and shall be under no obligation: (i) to maintain any Provider Content in confidence; (ii) to pay to you any compensation for any Provider Content; or (iii) to respond to any Provider Content.

21. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement
We will try work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with Site, including without limitation, the Services, if you bring that issue to the attention of our customer service department. However, we realize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to a customer’s satisfaction.
You and ADL Health, agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use or your use of the Site, including, without limitation, the Services, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than bringing a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in court, however, we agree to cooperate with each other to agree to reasonable discovery considering the issues involved and amount of the claim. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, but in so doing, the arbitrator shall apply substantive law regarding damages as if the matter had been brought in court, including without limitation, the law on punitive damages as applied by the United States Supreme Court. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and ADL Health are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and any other contractual relationship between you and ADL Health.
If you desire to assert a claim against ADL Health, you therefore elect to seek arbitration, you must first send by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (“Notice”). The Notice should be addressed to: Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory LLC, 1077 Central Pkwy S., Ste. 200, San Antonio, TX, 78232 (“Notice Address”). If ADL Health desires to assert a claim against you and therefore elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our or the practices records for you. A Notice, whether sent by you or by ADL Health, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If ADL Health and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or ADL Health may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by ADL Health or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association at www.adr.org.
The arbitration will be governed by the commercial arbitration rules and any supplementary rules and procedures for consumer related disputes (collectively, “JAMS Rules”) of Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by JAMS. The JAMS Rules and Forms are available online at www.jamsadr.com, by emailing JAMS at https://www.jamsadr.com/contact , or by requesting them from us by writing to us at the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms of Use. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope and enforceability of these Terms of Use, including, but not limited to, this arbitration agreement. Unless ADL Health and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in San Antonio, TX. If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules. If your claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of ADL Health’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if ADL Health did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then ADL Health will pay you the amount of the award or US $1,000, whichever is greater. The arbitrator shall not award punitive damages, except as prohibited by law. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for payment or recovery attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
YOU AND ADL HEALTH AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and ADL Health agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
If the arbitration terms and conditions of this Section 21 are found to be unenforceable, then (i) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect, and (ii) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts located in and for San Antonio, TX.
