Gennev operates the website located at https://gennev.com/ and other related websites and mobile applications (collectively, the “Site”) with links to these terms and conditions of use (“Terms of Use”). These Terms of Use govern your use of the Site and the services and/or products available to you through the Site (collectively, the “Services”). By: (a) accessing and using the Site, (b) purchasing and/or using any Services provided by us there under, and/or (c) providing your personal information to us, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and all other terms and policies that appear on the Site, whether or not you register for an account with Gennev(“Account”) through the Site.

If you do not wish to be bound by any of these Terms of Use, you may not use the Site or the Services and, as such, must promptly exit this Site. PLEASE REVIEW THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY.

2. Services. All Services are provided through Gennev and its contracted providers (“Treating Providers”). Gennev does not practice medicine, and does not interfere with the practice of medicine or any other licensed profession by Treating Providers, each of whom is responsible for his/her services and compliance with the requirements applicable to his/her profession and license. Any information or advice you receive from a Treating Provider comes from him/her alone, and not from gennev. Neither Gennev nor any third parties who promote the Services or provide you with a link to the Service shall be liable for any professional advice you obtain from a Treating Provider via the Services. Gennev does not endorse any specific physicians, tests, medications, products, procedures, or the like that may be recommended by a Treating Provider.

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD DIAL “911” IMMEDIATELY.

3. Site Content. None of the Site content (other than information you receive from Treating Providers) should be considered medical advice or an endorsement, representation, or warranty that any particular medication or treatment is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Although Gennev attempts to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information on the Site, Gennev makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees as to the accuracy of the Site and its content, and as such it is possible that the Site could include typographical or other errors, or inaccuracies, and that unauthorized additions, deletions, and/or alterations could be made to the Site by third parties. In the event that any inaccuracy arises, please inform Gennevso that it can be corrected. Information on the Site may be changed or updated without specific notice to you. Additionally, Gennev shall have no responsibility or liability for information posted to the Site from any non-Gennev affiliated party.

Informed Consent.

1. Among the benefits of Gennev’s Services are improved access to health care professionals and convenience. However, the Services you receive from Treating Providers are not intended to replace a primary care physician relationship. You may form an ongoing treatment relationship with some Treating Providers. However, your initial interactions with a Treating Provider will begin as a consultation and will not necessarily give rise to an ongoing treatment relationship with that Treating Provider. You should seek emergency help or follow-up care when recommended by a Treating Provider or when otherwise needed, and continue to consult with your primary care physician and other health care professionals as recommended.
2. As with any health care services, there are potential risks associated with the use of the Services on the Site. These risks include, but may not be limited to:
   1. In rare cases, information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g., poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate health care decision making by the Treating Provider;
   2. Delays in evaluation or treatment could occur due to failures of the electronic equipment. If this happens, you may be contacted by phone or other means of communication;
   3. Although the electronic systems we use will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information, in rare instances, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal health information
3. By accepting these Terms of Use, you acknowledge that you understand and agree with the following:
   1. You understand that you may expect the anticipated benefits from the use of the Services in your care, but that no results can be guaranteed or assured;
   2. You understand that the laws that protect the privacy and security of health information apply to the Services, and you have received Gennev’s Notice of Privacy Practices, which describes these protections in more detail. Electronic communications are directed to your Treating Provider(s) and their supervisees through a secure, encrypted electronic health record;
   3. You understand that Gennev does not take nor bill insurance providers for any of the Services offered;
   4. Your Treating Provider may determine that the Services are not appropriate for some or all of your treatment needs, and accordingly may elect not to provide Services to you through the Site.

• ‍Privacy. Gennev is required to comply with the federal health care privacy and security laws and to maintain safeguards to protect the security of your health information. The information you provide to your Treating Provider while utilizing the Services is legally confidential, except for certain legal exceptions as more fully described in our Notice of Privacy Practices. We devote considerable effort toward ensuring that your personal information is secure. Information regarding our use of health and other personal information is provided in our Site Privacy Policy and Notice of Privacy Practices. As part of providing you the Services, we may need to provide you with certain communications, such as reminders, service announcements, and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of the Services and your Account. While secure electronic messaging is always preferred to unsecure e-mail, under certain circumstances, unsecure e-mail communication containing personal health information may take place between you and Gennev. Gennev cannot ensure the security or confidentiality of messages sent by e-mail. Information relating to your care, including clinical notes and medical records, are stored on secure, encrypted servers. You agree that Gennev may send to you any privacy or other notices, disclosures, or communications regarding the Services (collectively, “Communications“) through electronic means including but not limited to: (1) by e-mail, using the address that you provided to us during the registration process; (2) short messaging service (“SMS”) text message to the mobile number you provided us during the registration process; (3) push notifications on your mobile device; or (4) by posting the Communications on the Site.

You can opt-out of future Communications through SMS text message by replying “STOP”.
