laws and regulations.

2. No Medical Advice

We are not your healthcare provider. We do not engage in the practice of medicine or provide any other health services.  The Services include a telehealth platform that may facilitate your access to telemedicine services, but the Services are independent from the licensed healthcare providers who will be providing such telemedicine services to you. We are not responsible for such healthcare providers' acts, omissions, or for any content of the communications made by them.

3. Not for Medical Emergencies

The Services do not include emergency, time ensitive or urgent, remote, or critical care services and should not be used during a medical emergency. If you think you have a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest open emergency room immediately.

4. Informational Content

With   the   exception   of   telemedicine   services   provided   by   a   licensed healthcare provider, any content accessed through  the Services is for informational purposes only.  Please consult your doctor or other qualified health care provider if you have any questions about a medical condition, or before taking any drug, changing your diet, or commencing or discontinuing any course of treatment.

5. Non-Medical Addiction-Recovery Coaches

The Services may provide you with access to an addiction recovery coach who will consult with you via telephone, video conference, chat, email, or other online tools. We reserve the right to change your coach at any time. Our   coaches   provide   You   with   peer-to-peer   support,   encouragement, accountability, and practical tips to help overcome barriers to meeting your addiction recovery goals. Addiction recovery coaches do not provide medical care and are not acting in a healthcare professional capacity. They do not provide any medical advice, clinical services, and do not diagnose, treat, or manage any illness, disease or condition or hold themselves out as being able   to   do   so.   You   should   not   change   your   treatment   or   care   plan, medication or therapy based on information you received through the services or from one of our coaches. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care practitioner regarding your medical condition or the use (or frequency) of any medication or medical device. Information provided by our coaches is offered for informational purposes only and is not a recommendation or endorsement of any drug, device or
treatment or representation that a particular drug, device, or treatment is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Questions regarding any drug, device or treatment always should be directed to your healthcare provider. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read in connection with our services. Always consult with your healthcare professional if you have any questions or concerns about your health or condition or experience any changes in your condition or health status.
