Terms & Conditions

Last updated: June 3, 2024

Welcome to the Heartbeat Health mobile and web applications (each an “Application”). Heartbeat Health, Inc. (“Heartbeat,” the Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) provides the Applications for your personal use. Use of the Applications and our website at heartbeathealth.com (collectively, the “Services”) is governed by these terms and conditions of use (the “Agreement”). Although accessible by others, the Services (which include content) are intended for access and use only by U.S. customers. Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing or using the Services.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any additional terms and conditions that otherwise may apply to specific features of the Services, or to products or services that we make available to you through the Services (all of which are deemed part of this Agreement). If you do not agree with any of the terms and conditions for the use of our Services, do not access our Applications or use our Services. Your use of our Services is also subject to our Privacy Policy. Please review this policy carefully so you understand what information we collect about you, how we use it, how we secure it, and when we may share it. Although accessible by others, these Services are intended for access and use only by U.S. customers.

We may change or replace the terms of this Agreement at any time and for any reason at our discretion. We will post the updated Terms and Conditions on our Applications and will update the “Effective Date” to reflect the date of the changes.

WHAT SERVICES DOES HEARTBEAT PROVIDE?

Heartbeat provides a platform for you to connect with health care providers, health and wellness professionals, and other Heartbeat community members. The platform is also designed to offer information and educational materials about your health. For the avoidance of doubt, the capitalized word “Services” as used in this Agreement refers only to our Applications, website and related content and does not refer to the telehealth and/or in-person consultations and treatment that users receive from health care providers. None of the website or Application content should be considered medical advice or an endorsement, representation or warranty that any particular medication or treatment is safe, appropriate, or effective for you.

PRIVACY

Your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy. Please review this policy carefully so you understand what information we collect through the Services, how we use it, how we secure it, and when we may share it.

HOW TO USE THE APPLICATION

To use the Application via a web browser you or your legal representative may be obligated to provide us with certain information such as your name, address and date of birth. To download and use the Application on your computer or mobile device, you first need to sign up with Heartbeat. When signing up, you are obligated to provide us with certain information, such as your name, address, date of birth, credit card information and the name of your primary care provider (if you have one). Upon successful completion of the sign up process, we will provide you with a personal account, accessible for you with a password of your choice.

By using the Application(s) and the Services, you affirm that you are of legal age to enter into this Agreement or, if you are not, a parent or guardian has provided consent on your behalf to enter into this Agreement.

Each of our Applications identifies you to your health care professionals who have licensed a Heartbeat health care provider application from us (each a “health care Provider”) and have engaged us to provide administrative, scheduling, and other operational services. In the event a health care Provider agrees to provide you with health care services, the Application schedules those services and may bill you on behalf of your Provider. We make no representation or warranty to you that any healthcare Provider will be available to perform health care services.

HEARTBEAT HEALTH IS NOT ENGAGED IN THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE OR ANY OTHER LICENSED PROFESSION, DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL SERVICES, AND IS NOT A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER. HEARTBEAT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE OR ANY OTHER LICENSED PROFESSION BY ANY HEALTH CARE PROVIDER OR OTHER HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL, WHO ARE EACH RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OR HER SERVICES AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO HIS OR HER PROFESSION AND LICENSE. THE HEALTH CARE PROVIDER AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL WITH WHICH YOU ESTABLISH A TREATMENT RELATIONSHIP IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING YOU WITH MEDICAL SERVICES. WE ONLY ACT AS A TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION TO CONNECT YOU WITH HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN PROVIDING YOU WITH MEDICAL SERVICES.

ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF YOUR PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTH PROVIDERS BEFORE DECIDING TO START, ALTER, OR DISCONTINUE ANY COURSE OF MEDICAL TREATMENT OR FOR ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR MEDICAL CONDITION, YOUR DIET, OR THE USE (OR FREQUENCY) OF ANY MEDICATION OR MEDICAL DEVICE. DO NOT USE THE SERVICES AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CONSULTING WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN OR OTHER HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL, AND DO NOT DISREGARD PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE OR DELAY IN SEEKING IT BECAUSE OF ANY INFORMATION RECEIVED IN CONNECTION WITH OUR SERVICES.

USER-PROVIDED CONTENT

You acknowledge that Heartbeat only acts as a passive conduit for the distribution of User-Provided Content and is not responsible or liable to you or to any third party for the content or accuracy of the User-Provided Content. User-Provided Content means any information, feedback or content, text, videos, or images related to you, your health or your experience and interactions with the Applications. User-Provided Content may be provided by you, a third party authorized by you or by your health care provider via a Heartbeat Application accessed by your health care provider. You understand that we have no obligation to monitor any areas of the Services through which users can post User-Provided Content. However, we reserve the right at all times, in our sole discretion, to screen User-Provided Content and to edit, move, delete, and/or refuse to accept any User-Provided Content that in our judgment violates this Agreement or is otherwise unacceptable or inappropriate, whether for legal or other reasons.

Any use by you of the User-Provided Content is entirely at your own risk. You represent and warrant that any User-Provided Content posted or transmitted by you is original to you and does not copy the work of any third party or otherwise infringe any third party intellectual property rights, rights of privacy or publicity rights and does not contain any defamatory or disparaging statements. Furthermore, you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant the license described above.

PAYMENT AND FEES

We reserve the right to require payment for the fees for the Services or certain features of the Services. The rates that apply for the telephonic or in-person consultation services provided by health care professionals or wellness professionals can be found on our website and through the Applications. You acknowledge that these rates may be modified or updated at any time. It is your own responsibility to remain informed about the current rates for the Services made available through the Applications.

At present we do not process any insurance claims, nor are health care professionals obligated to process claims on your behalf. Although the consultations/treatments you receive from health care professionals through the Applications may or may not be covered by your insurance, it is solely up to you to contact your health plan, determine whether coverage applies and submit a claim. You are responsible for the full fee (and for paying the fee in advance) regardless of whether you later are able to receive reimbursement from your health plan for part or all of the cost.
