THE APP SERVICES DO NOT CONSTITUTE MEDICAL ADVICE

The contents of the App Services, including text, graphics, images, links to third-party resources, and other material (“Content”), are for informational purposes only. If you rely on any Content, you do so solely at your own risk. We are not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, availability, effectiveness, or correct use of information you receive through the App Services. The App Services are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Your reliance on information available on or through the App Services is entirely at your own risk and your use of such information should not replace your good judgment and common sense.

We recommend that you consult with a qualified Health Care Provider with respect to any matter relating to your physical or mental health, especially symptoms that may require diagnosis or medical attention. Only a qualified Health Care Provider can provide you with advice on what is safe and effective for you. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately. TH does not recommend or endorse any specific tests, physicians, products, procedures, opinions, or other information posted on the App. Reliance on any information provided on the App Services, whether posted by TH or other users of the App Services, is solely at your own risk.


ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

Users may access the App Services without registering for an account. However, to access and participate in certain features of the App Services, including to submit, upload, or otherwise make available Content, you will need to create a password-protected App account (“Account”).  If you want to use those aspects of the App Services, then you shall provide the TH with true, accurate, complete, and current registration information. When you register for an account, you may do so yourself or by an authorized agent of a user.  Please note that the App Services supports various categories of users, including users that may be Transplant Patients, parent or guardians of a Transplant Patient, Transplant Buddies (e.g., friends and family of patients), as well as support users, including Transplant Coordinators and Patient Care Managers.  As such, the registration process for each category of user may vary. For example, Transplant Patient may register for the App Services directly, whereas Transplant Buddies are invited to register, and thereby participate in the App Services, by the Transplant Patients if applicable or they make the decision for the Transplant Patient to participate in their capacity as an authorized agent or guardian of the Transplant Patient. 

When you register as any user, you will be asked to provide certain Personal Information, which may include your name, gender, birth date, and e-mail address. As noted in the Privacy Practices section, above, this information will be held and used in accordance with our Privacy Policy. In addition to creating a new account, you may also register for an Account using your existing account on certain third-party social networking sites such as Facebook (each such account a “Third-Party Account”). You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during Account registration, and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account and your access to the App, or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, fraudulent, not current, incomplete, or otherwise in violation of these Terms.

The App Account and App profile page will be created for your use of the App based upon the information you provide to us or that we obtain via a Third-Party Account as described above. You may also link your App Account with Third-Party Accounts, by either: (i) providing your Third-Party Account login information to TH through the App; or (ii) allowing TH to access your Third-Party Account, as permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account. By granting TH access to any Third-Party Accounts, you authorize TH to access, make available any Content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (“Third-Party Account Content“) depending upon the privacy settings you have set within such Third-Party Account. Third-Party Account Content may be made available in your App Account and App profile page. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, all Third-Party Account Content will be considered to be User Content for all purposes of these Terms. 

You have the ability to disable the connection between your App Account and your Third-Party Accounts, at any time, by accessing the Settings area of your App Account. Your relationship with the third parties associated with your Third-Party Accounts is governed solely by your agreements with such third parties. TH is not responsible for and does not review any Third-Party Account Content for any purpose, including but not limited to for legality or non-infringement. You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third-Party Account login information to TH and/or grant TH access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating TH to pay any fees or subjecting TH to any usage limitations imposed by such third parties.

If you are a parent or guardian, you may also use the App to establish a user account for a minor under the age of thirteen (13). You, acting as the parent or guardian of a minor under the age of thirteen (13) are solely responsible for providing supervision of the minor's use of App and any App Services and you assume full responsibility for ensuring that the child’s registration information is kept secure and that the information submitted is accurate. The parent or guardian also assumes full responsibility for the interpretation and use of any information provided through the App and the App Services for the minor. If you do not agree to (or cannot comply with) these Terms, you may not use or attempt to use the App or the App Services. If you are aware of anyone that does not comply with these limitations, please contact us at customercare@transplanthero.com. 

ACCOUNT PASSWORD AND CONFIDENTIALITY 

You are solely responsible for safeguarding your App Account password and, if applicable, your Third-Party Account password. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs on your Account. You agree to notify TH immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. TH is not liable for any losses by any party caused by an unauthorized use of your Account, or other account related security breach of which you become aware, such as theft, unauthorized use, attempted use, or tampering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may be liable for the losses of TH or others due to such unauthorized use of your Account.

CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

As part of your use of the App Services, you may receive notifications, text messages, calls, alerts, emails, and other electronic communications that are automatically dialed or pre-recorded. We and our partners and affiliates may need or want to send you certain communications, such as marketing communications, service announcements, and administrative messages. You consent to receive such communications and agree that any such communications that we send to you shall be legally effective when sent. You agree that any notices sent by us by email satisfy any requirement that the notices be provided in writing. If you do not agree, do not accept this Agreement. 

You may have the right to withdraw your consent to receiving certain electronic communications, and, when required by law, we will provide you with paper copies of all documents and records upon request. You may do so by contacting us at the phone number or email address provided under the “Contact Us” section at the end of these Terms.

You may change your email address for notification purposes at any time by contacting us at the phone number or email address provided under the “How to Contact Us” section at the end of these Terms. 

If you opt in to receive SMS text messages, TH may send you communications via text message, including, for example, medication reminders and other information to support your use of the App Services. If you would like to use this option, you must provide TH with cellular phone number and verify that number using a texting a code provided by TH.  After opting in to receive SMS text messages, subject to the terms and conditions of your mobile carrier, you will receive text messages sent to your mobile phone. TH does not have a separate charge for this service; however, message and data rates may apply from your mobile carrier. By providing your consent to receive SMS text messages in connection with the App Services, you approve any such charges from your mobile carrier. TH reserves the right to terminate sending SMS text messages, in whole or in part, at any time without notice. The information in any message may be subject to certain time lags and/or delays. By providing your consent to receive text messages, you approve any such charges from your mobile carrier. To stop receiving text messages, text STOP, STOP ALL, END, QUIT, CANCEL, or UNSUBSCRIBE to the number from which you received the text message.  If you have any questions or need help, reply to received text messages with SUPPORT. If you change your telephone number, you agree to promptly notify TH.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN YOU CONTACT US BY EMAIL OR TEXT, SUCH COMMUNICATION MAY NOT BE SECURE BECAUSE IT TRAVELS OVER UNSECURE COMMUNICATION LINES.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. YOU AND TH AGREE THAT THESE TERMS AFFECT INTERSTATE COMMERCE AND THAT THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS. 

This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this Agreement or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with TH as follows:

  • Admissibility of Terms. TH’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of TH. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.

  • Initial Dispute Resolution: Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with TH, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

  • Binding Arbitration: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution after at least thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms' or Privacy Policy's formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of the App Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms or Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. YOU AND TH UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION, EACH PARTY WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND TH FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT, IN SOME INSTANCES, THE COSTS OF ARBITRATION COULD EXCEED THE COSTS OF LITIGATION AND THE RIGHT TO DISCOVERY MAY BE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION THAN IN COURT.

  • Arbitration Procedure. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to the applicable JAMS Resolution Center, which can be found at http://www.jamsadr.com/locations; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to Transplant Hero at Transplant Hero, 150 Rivington St., New York, NY 10002 and with a mandatory copy to customercare@transplanthero.com.

  • Arbitration Fees. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, TH will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, TH will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

  • Forum Selection. If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in San Mateo County, California and you and TH agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in San Mateo County, California in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

  • Class Action Waiver: The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by the parties in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND TH 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. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

  • Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.

  • 30-Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to customercare@transplanthero.com with the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the App Services; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, TH also will not be bound by them.

  • Changes to This Section: We will provide thirty (30) days' notice of any changes to this section. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after such notice. Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on "Changes to This Section" is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Dispute Resolution” and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Dispute Resolution section in existence after you began using the App Services.

  • Survival: This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your account or the App Services.
