Telehealth Services
Telemedicine involves the delivery of health care services using electronic communications, information technology, or other means between a health care provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location. Telemedicine may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and/or related patient education and may include but is not limited to:
The electronic systems used in the Services will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information and will include measures to safeguard your data to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption or unlawful access.
By accepting the Terms of Use, you agree and consent to Weightmeds, the affiliated physician practices, the health care providers contracted or employed by the affiliated physician practices, and any other health care organization(s) or provider(s) with whom we partner to provide the Services to you sending you disclosures, notices, messages, reports, and other communications either in writing or electronically, including, without limitation, through your account or by email. It is your responsibility to monitor these communications. You acknowledge and agree that you will not hold us, any affiliated physician practice, any health care provider contracted or employed by an affiliated physician practice, or any health care organization(s) or provider(s) with whom we partner to offer the Services to you liable for any loss, injury, or claim of any kind resulting from your failure to read these communications or for your failure to comply with any treatment recommendations contained in these communications.
Moreover, you acknowledge and agree that no means of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to us transmitting health and other information to you electronically and that any information sent to or signed by you or us electronically shall be deemed equivalent to as if such information was provided or signed in writing.
Consent to Telehealth
We provide websites and applications through which you can obtain an online visit with an independent licensed health care professional (a “Provider”) and mail order pharmacy services for any medications prescribed to you (collectively the “Services”). The Services constitute a form of telehealth, which involves the delivery of health care services using electronic communications between a health care provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location. We believe that telehealth has the potential to provide several benefits, including convenient, discreet, and affordable care.
Telehealth may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and/or patient education. Telehealth may include, but is not limited to:

For the avoidance of any doubt, the terms “Weightmeds,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Weightmeds LLC, and the terms “you” and “yours” refer to the person using the Services.
Your Relationship With Weightmeds
Weightmeds does not provide any medical services, including via the Services. Rather, Weightmeds provides a technology platform for you to access a health care provider who is employed or contracted with a partner physician practice and obtain access to additional information, which you may or may not choose to utilize in planning your health care and wellness. The health and wellness resources made available through our Services are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for direct in-person health care services in all cases; nor are they an indicator of specific results. The decision to focus on diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or both rests with you and the health care provider. You understand that by coordinating and consulting with an affiliated physician practice or its health care providers through the Services, you are not entering into a physician-patient relationship with Weightmeds.
Except for specific communications received from an affiliated physician practice or its health care providers, none of the information you receive through the Services should be considered medical advice.
No Insurance Accepted; Notice of Your Financial Responsibility
Weightmeds and the affiliated physician practices do not accept commercial health insurance plans, are not in-network with any commercial health insurance plans, and are not enrolled with federal or state health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. By choosing to use the Services, you are specifically choosing to obtain products and services on a cash-pay basis outside of any commercial health insurance plan or federal or state health care program. Thus, you are solely responsible for the costs of any services or products provided to you.
If you are a federal health program beneficiary, you agree that neither you, Weightmeds, the affiliated physician practices, or any of the health care organization(s) or provider(s) with whom we partner to provide health care and pharmacy services to you will submit a claim for reimbursement to any federal or state healthcare program for the costs of the services and products provided to you through the Services. Please also see Section 14 below for additional terms applicable to your payment obligations.
Pharmacy Services
If you receive a prescription as a result of your use of the Services, you may select one of our partner pharmacies (the "Weightmeds Pharmacy Network") to ship your prescription. You may also choose to have your prescription fulfilled through the pharmacy of your choice when prompted during your use of the Services. You give us consent to send and disclose to the Weightmeds Pharmacy Network or the pharmacy of your choice all information provided by you, health care records, and other applicable health care information and personal information (such as your name, location, and demographic information) so that you may receive pharmacy services.
If you select to use the Weightmeds Pharmacy Network to fulfill any prescriptions, you acknowledge that your medication will not be shipped in child-resistant packaging and that you must keep it out of the reach of children.
At-Home Testing Services
Any at-home sample collection kits and laboratory services available through the Services may require a valid order by a licensed healthcare provider. We or our subsidiaries have partnered with health care providers who are licensed in your state to review your request for at-home testing (the "Reviewing Provider"). You understand and agree that at-home testing services are intended for informational, educational, and wellness purposes only. They are not intended to be diagnostic. You further understand and agree that you do not establish a provider-patient relationship with the Reviewing Provider as a result of your use of the Services.
We will send or cause to be sent the requested test kit to your address after any required health care provider review and approval. You must follow the instructions that accompany the kit to register your kit, collect the applicable biological sample(s), complete any required documentation, and return such biological samples and documentation to the applicable laboratory that performs the testing (the "Lab"). Failure to follow the instructions may result in your samples not being processed by the Lab.
The Lab sends the results of the tests to the Reviewing Provider, who releases the test results to us. We provide the test results to you via the Services. You understand and agree that it is your responsibility to bring your results to your primary health care provider for interpretation and to inform decisions made about your health and treatment
Weightmeds understands the importance of confidentiality and privacy regarding your health information. Please see our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect and use your information. The Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference and constitutes a part of these Terms of Use.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO EVALUATE THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, RELIABILITY, OR USEFULNESS OF THE SERVICES, SERVICES CONTENT, AND USER CONTENT. FURTHERMORE, WEIGHTMEDS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR FREE FROM ERROR, DEFECT, LOSS, DELAY IN OPERATION, CORRUPTION, CYBER ATTACK, VIRUSES, INTERFERENCE, HACKING, MALWARE, OR OTHER SECURITY INTRUSION, AND WEIGHTMEDS DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY RELATING THERETO.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY CONTENT, MATERIAL, AND/OR INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES ARE USED AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER OR MOBILE PHONE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF SUCH CONTENT, MATERIAL, AND/OR INFORMATION OR YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY SUCH CONTENT, MATERIAL, AND/OR INFORMATION.

IN NO EVENT SHALL WEIGHTMEDS OR IT'S RELATED PERSONS' TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE THE GREATER OF (I) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR (II) THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU, IF ANY, FOR ACCESSING THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THIS APPLICABLE CLAIM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for damages such as in this section. Accordingly, some of these limitations may not apply to you.

The Services may contain hyperlinks, plug-ins, products, or features operated by third parties ("Third-Party Services"). Such Third-Party Services are not under our control; therefore, we are not responsible for the information, products, or services described by or for the content or features of any such Third-Party Services. We are providing these Third-Party Services to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any Third-Party Services does not necessarily imply endorsement of the Third-Party Services or any association with its operators. Your use of these Third-Party Services is at your own risk, and we are not liable to you in any way, either directly or indirectly, for any content, errors, damage, or loss caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on information contained in or provided to Third-Party Services.
You may have arrived at the Services through a Third-Party Service, and you understand and agree that we are not responsible for the information, products, or services described on those Third-Party Services and only these Terms of Use will apply to your use of or access to the Services.
No agency relationship is created between Weightmeds and any user or third party. As such, we will not be involved in resolving any disputes between any user and another user or third party relating to or arising out of any transaction between such parties.

The Services are continually under development, and Weightmeds reserves the right to review or remove any part of these Terms of Use in its sole discretion at any time and without prior notice to you. You should check the Terms of Use from time to time when you use the Services to determine if any changes have been made. Any changes to these Terms of Use are effective upon posting to the Services unless applicable law requires us to provide additional notice or take other actions before such changes can become effective. If you disagree with these Terms of Use, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue your use of the Services. Your continued use after a change has been posted constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
You acknowledge and agree that:
You agree to pay all fees due for services requested at the fees and pursuant to all payment terms presented to you when engaging in transactions. Prices are subject to change at any point in our sole discretion. You will see a prompt for your payment details, such as your credit card information and any promotional codes you may have. By entering your payment information and submitting your request, you authorize us, our affiliates, or our third-party payment processors to charge the amount due, including recurring fees associated with Subscription Services (as defined below).
You understand and agree that you are responsible for all fees due to receive health care services and pharmacy services, including any fees charged by the health care organization(s) or provider(s) that provide services to you in connection with the Services. Your payments to Weightmeds may include fees charged by health care organization(s) or provider(s) for health care services and/or pharmacy services, which Weightmeds collects on their behalf. Any health care services or pharmacy services not provided by us, an affiliated physician practice, or the Weightmeds Pharmacy Network or otherwise made available through the Services are not included in the payments collected by Weightmeds, and you may be separately charged by the applicable health care organization(s) and/or provider(s) for such services. In the event that your credit card expires or Weightmeds, our affiliates, or our third-party payment processors are unable to process your payment, you may receive notice for you to provide an alternative payment method. Weightmeds and/or the health care organization(s) and/or provider(s) have no obligation to provide any health care services or pharmacy services unless and until full payment has been received and/or verified. You are responsible for keeping your payment information (such as credit card number and billing address) accurate and up to date at all times.
Certain products or services offered on the Services may be offered on a subscription basis ("Subscription Services"). For Subscription Services, your payment method will be automatically charged at regular intervals as described during the checkout process for the applicable Subscription Services. You may cancel a subscription at any time before the cancellation cutoff date as indicated to you at the time you purchase a Subscription Service. You will also be informed about how you can cancel these Subscription Services.
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN ANY RETURN OR REFUND POLICY PROVIDED TO YOU ON THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PURCHASABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES, ANY APPLICABLE FEES AND OTHER CHARGES ARE NOT REFUNDABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART. YOU ARE FULLY LIABLE FOR ALL CHARGES TO YOUR ACCOUNT, INCLUDING ANY UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES.
The Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect as long as you continue to access or use the Services. You may terminate the Terms of Use at any time by discontinuing use of the Services. Your permission to use the Services automatically terminates if you violate these Terms of Use.

The following provisions survive the expiration or termination of these Terms of Use for any reason whatsoever: Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability; Indemnification; Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, Venue, Severability of Provisions; No Waiver; and Assignment.
Subject to applicable law, Weightmeds reserves the right to maintain, delete, or destroy all communications and materials posted or uploaded to the Services pursuant to its internal record retention and/or content destruction policies. After such termination, Weightmeds will have no further obligation to provide the Services except to the extent an affiliated professional entity is obligated to provide you access to your health records or is required to provide you with continuing care under applicable legal, ethical, and professional obligations to you. You agree that if your use of the Services is terminated pursuant to these Terms of Use, you will not attempt to use the Services in any way, and further agree that if you violate this restriction after such termination, you will indemnify and hold Weightmeds harmless from any and all liability that Weightmeds may incur, therefore.
IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND WEIGHTMEDS TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM WEIGHTMEDS. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU AND WEIGHTMEDS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Governing Law
These Terms of Use and your use of the Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws. Subject to the requirement to arbitrate set forth in this Section 16, exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes that do not require arbitration will be the state and federal courts located in Florida, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
Binding Arbitration Generally
Except as described in the "Exceptions" section below, you and Weightmeds agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms of Use, the Services, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims, whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation, common law, constitutional provision, respondeat superior, agency, or any other legal or equitable theory, regardless of whether a claim arises after the termination of these Terms of Use and regardless of whether a claim arises before or after the effective date of these Terms of Use. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.
Exceptions
Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms of Use will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to:
Arbitrator
This arbitration agreement and any arbitration between us is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively "AAA Rules") as modified by these Terms of Use. 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 Weightmeds.
Commencing Arbitration
Before initiating arbitration, a party 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"). Weightmeds' address for Notice is: Weightmeds LLC, 6047 52nd Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33709, Attention: General Counsel. A copy of all Notices of Arbitration must also be sent to Weightmeds via email to care@weightmeds.com. The Notice of Arbitration must:
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 Weightmeds may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Weightmeds will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if Weightmeds has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the 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, and Weightmeds may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to AAA.
Arbitration Proceedings
Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your billing address unless we agree otherwise, or if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted:
During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Weightmeds must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. 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.
Arbitration Relief
Except as provided in the "No Class Actions" section below, the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
No Class Actions
YOU AND WEIGHTMEDS 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 Weightmeds agree otherwise in writing, 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.
Limited Time to File Claims
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WEIGHTMEDS WANTS TO ASSERT A DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER THAT IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THESE TERMS OF USE, THEN YOU OR WEIGHTMEDS MUST COMMENCE SUCH DISPUTE BY DELIVERY OF A NOTICE OF ARBITRATION WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES -- OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
Severability
All parts of these Terms of Use apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. Weightmeds and you both agree that if we cannot enforce a part of this contract as written, then that part will be replaced with terms that most closely match the intent of the part we cannot enforce to the extent permitted by law. The invalidity of part of these Terms of Use will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The section headings are for convenience only and do not have any force or effect.
By opting-in to receive text (SMS) messages from Weightmeds or by sending Weightmeds an initial text message (an "SMS Enrollment"), you consent to receiving text messages regarding your Weightmeds account and use of the Services. These text messages may include order confirmations, shipping notifications, messages from your healthcare provider, and other transactional messages, as well as promotional and marketing notifications to the extent you have opted-in to receive such messages from Weightmeds.
With your SMS Enrollment, you represent and understand that:
Note that access to the Services is not conditioned upon your consent to receive marketing or promotional text messages from Weightmeds, and you can opt out of any of Weightmeds' SMS services at any time by texting "STOP" to the message received from the mobile device that is subscribed to receive the SMS messages. After you send the text message "STOP" to us, we may send you one final text message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. If you have opted-in to receive more than one type of text message from Weightmeds, you will need to opt out of each Weightmeds SMS service to which you are subscribed. Until you have done so, you may continue to receive the types of text messages from Weightmeds that you have opted-in to receive but have not unsubscribed from.
You also understand that while Weightmeds takes your privacy and the security of your health and other sensitive information very seriously, the transmission of information over the internet and mobile networks is not 100% secure. Text messages and emails that you send to or receive from Weightmeds are not encrypted, which means that it is possible they may be intercepted by third parties. If you choose to send or receive information about your health or any other sensitive information by text message or email, you do so at your own risk. By initiating an SMS Enrollment, you consent to sending text messages to Weightmeds and receiving text messages from Weightmeds that are not encrypted.
