When establishing an account with DrWell, you initiate a direct consumer relationship that facilitates access to and utilization of the Service’s various functionalities as a user. In the course of this relationship, you furnish DrWell with certain information, including but not limited to your legal name, electronic mail address, delivery address, and telephonic contact details. We may collect, utilize, and disclose this information in accordance with our Confidentiality Statement. It is important to note that we do not categorize this information as “health-related” or “medical” in nature.
However, in utilizing specific components of the Service, you may disclose certain medical information that may be subject to protection under applicable statutes. DrWell does not fall under the category of a “covered entity” as defined by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5, and its associated regulations and amendments (collectively, “HITECH”). One or more of the Laboratories, Dispensaries, or Medical Institutions may or may not be classified as a “covered entity” or “business associate” under HITECH, and DrWell may, in certain instances, be considered a “business associate” of a Laboratory, Dispensary, or Medical Institution. It is crucial to understand that while state-specific privacy laws may apply, HITECH does not necessarily extend to an entity or individual solely due to the presence of health information, and HITECH may not govern your interactions or communications with DrWell, the Medical Institutions, the Healthcare Providers, the Laboratories, or the Dispensaries. To the extent that DrWell is deemed a “business associate,” and exclusively in its capacity as such, DrWell may be subject to certain provisions of HITECH with respect to “protected health information,” as defined under HITECH, that you provide to the Laboratories, Dispensaries, or Medical Institutions (“PHI”). Furthermore, any medical or health information you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, “Confidential Records”), will be used and disclosed only in compliance with such applicable laws. However, any information that does not constitute Confidential Records under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under our Confidentiality Statement. Confidential Records do not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with HITECH.
The Medical Institutions and Healthcare Providers have implemented a Notice of Privacy Practices detailing their use and disclosure of Confidential Records. By accessing or using any aspect of the Service, you acknowledge receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices from your Medical Institution and Healthcare Provider(s).
By utilizing the Service, you agree that even if HITECH applies to DrWell, the Medical Institutions, the Healthcare Providers, the Laboratories, or the Dispensaries, any information you submit to DrWell that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Institution and Healthcare Providers, prescription fulfillment by the Dispensaries, or laboratory services by the Laboratories, is not considered Confidential Records, and will only be subject to our Confidentiality Statement and any applicable state laws governing the privacy and security of such information.

We shall collect applicable Fiscal Obligations if we determine it is our duty to do so. An estimate of Fiscal Obligations we collect will be presented at checkout, except where we have explicitly stated in writing that a price is inclusive of Fiscal Obligations. The actual Fiscal Obligations charged may differ from the amount shown at checkout due to factors such as variations in processor programs and changes in tax rates. We are not obligated to, and do not, collect Fiscal Obligations in all jurisdictions. You may have an obligation to directly report and remit Fiscal Obligations if we do not collect them.
Purchases via the Platform may only be completed using payment methods deemed acceptable by us. You affirm and warrant that you are authorized to utilize your designated payment method. You grant us permission to charge your designated payment method for the total sum of your order (including any applicable Fiscal Obligations and shipping and handling fees). Should your designated payment method be declined, we will attempt to process your charge until the transaction is approved. We and our third-party payment processors may request and receive updated payment card information from your payment card issuer, such as updated card numbers and expiration date details when your credit card has expired. If such updated information is provided to us and our third-party payment processors, you consent to us updating your account information accordingly, and using such updated information to process payments for your future purchases and applicable subscription charges (including any applicable Fiscal Obligations, shipping and handling fees). Your payment card issuer may provide you with the option to opt out of furnishing vendors and third-party payment processors with your updated card information. If you wish to opt out of your payment card’s updating service, you should contact your card issuer. We bear no responsibility for any fees or charges applied by your bank or payment card issuer. If your bank or card issuer reverses a charge to your payment card, we may invoice your account directly and seek payment through alternative means including a mailed statement.
If any items in your order are unavailable, we will only charge for the prices, Fiscal Obligations and other applicable fees associated with the products included in the shipment. In relation to any purchase you make through the Platform, you may be required to provide certain information relevant to the transaction, including, but not limited to, your payment card number and expiration date, billing address, shipping address, phone number and/or email address. By submitting such information, you grant DrWell, without charge, the irrevocable, unencumbered, universe-wide and perpetual right to provide such information (and any updated information we receive) to third parties (e.g., payment processing entities, buyers on the Platform, sellers on the Platform) for the purpose of facilitating the transaction.
All monetary transactions involving credit cards, debit cards, or other forms of payment on or through the Platform are processed via an online payment processing application(s) accessible through the Platform. This online payment processing application(s) is provided by DrWell’s third-party online payment processing vendor, Finix (“Payment Facilitator”). Additional information about DrWell’s Payment Facilitator, its privacy policy and information security measures (collectively, the “Payment Facilitator Policies”) should be available on the Finix website located at https://www.finix.com/ or by contacting Finix directly. Reference to the Payment Facilitator Policies is made for informational purposes only and they are not in any way incorporated into or made a part of this Agreement. DrWell’s relationship with the Payment Facilitator, if any, is purely contractual in nature, as the Payment Facilitator is nothing more than a third-party vendor to DrWell and is not subject to DrWell’s direction or control; thus, their relationship should not be construed as one of fiduciaries, franchisors-franchisees, agents-principals, employers-employees, partners, joint venturers or the like.
You agree to pay any shipping and handling fees, if applicable, shown at the time of purchase. We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add or eliminate shipping and handling fees from time to time, but we will provide notice of the changes applicable to you before you complete your purchase. Any delivery dates or times shown during the checkout process are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Unless we state otherwise in writing via the Platform, risk of loss or damage to a product transfers to you upon delivery of the product to our designated carrier.
We reserve the right to address User issues and concerns on an individual basis. We retain the right, at our sole discretion, to resolve customer issues and concerns based on the specific facts and circumstances of each User.

Mandatory Arbitration / Waiver of Class Actions
YOU AND DRWELL MUTUALLY AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, OR DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US OR ANY OF THE DRWELL PARTIES, MEDICAL GROUPS, HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, LABORATORIES, OR PHARMACIES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE DRWELL PARTIES, THE PLATFORM, THE CONTENT OR THE SERVICE, OR ANY OTHER GOODS, SERVICES OR MARKETING BY DRWELL OR ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PARTIES, INCLUDING DISPUTES REGARDING THE APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”), THAT IS NOT RESOLVED THROUGH AN INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS (AS DEFINED AND DESCRIBED BELOW), SHALL BE RESOLVED THROUGH CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATOR FROM THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”), RATHER THAN IN A COURT OF LAW, AS DETAILED HEREIN. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA’S CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES AND, IF DEEMED APPLICABLE BY THE ARBITRATOR, THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (COLLECTIVELY, “RULES AND PROCEDURES”). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PURSUE LITIGATION IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, “DISPUTE” SHALL ALSO ENCOMPASS DISPUTES THAT AROSE OR INVOLVE FACTS OCCURRING PRIOR TO THE EXISTENCE OF THIS OR ANY PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AS WELL AS CLAIMS THAT MAY ARISE AFTER THE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
In the event a Dispute arises between us, we are committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and we agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcome. Therefore, you and we agree that before either party initiates arbitration against the other (or files an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will engage in a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute informally through a personal telephonic or video conference (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you must also participate.
The party initiating a Dispute must provide written notice to the other party of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon. Notice to us of your intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent via email to [email protected] or by regular mail to our offices at 2100 Webster St., #429, San Francisco, CA 94115. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e-mail address associated with your account (if applicable); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e-mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute. We will provide notice to your address on file. The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree.
If you and we are unable to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after the applicable Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, either party may commence arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual.
Arbitration costs will be allocated according to the AAA’s fee schedule. Each party agrees to bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision that mandates the prevailing party be awarded attorneys’ fees and expenses.
The arbitration shall take place in San Francisco, California, except that, if San Francisco, California is not within one hundred (100) miles of your residence, the arbitration may be conducted within one hundred (100) miles of your residence, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. These Terms and Conditions evidence a transaction in interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings.
For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at https://www.adr.org.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the Dispute arises from: (a) a violation of either party’s intellectual property rights in any manner; and/or (b) any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, unauthorized use or a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; then you and the applicable DrWell Party agree that a party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court in San Francisco, California, and both parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts in connection with such proceedings. In addition to the foregoing, either you or we may assert an individual action in small claims court for Disputes that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration as long as such action remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
YOU AND WE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and we are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified otherwise herein. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED HEREIN, ALL DISPUTES SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. NO PARTY MAY BRING ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS PROCEEDING. THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED HEREIN. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). If a court determines by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim or request for relief, then such claim or request for relief (and only that claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California, subject to the parties’ respective rights to appeal the decision. All other claims or requests for relief shall be arbitrated. The parties agree that any claims or requests for relief that are severed from an arbitration may not proceed in litigation and shall be stayed until all claims between the parties remaining in arbitration are finally resolved. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Francisco, California for purposes of resolving any claims or requests for relief severed from arbitration pursuant to this paragraph. This subsection does not prevent you or us from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
To enhance the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and we agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual arbitrations of a substantially similar nature filed against us by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of one hundred (100) arbitrations per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than one hundred (100) arbitrations left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining arbitrations); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).
All parties agree that arbitrations are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event, act, omission, practice or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by us.
You and we agree to cooperate in good faith with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of arbitrations, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.
You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration agreement that require the arbitration of Disputes within thirty (30) days of the date that you first agree to any version of this Agreement that requires arbitration of disputes with DrWell or any of the DrWell Parties, Medical Groups, Laboratories, or Pharmacies. To opt out, you must send your name, residence address, and email address together with a clear statement that you want to opt out of the requirement to arbitrate disputes with the applicable party to: DrWell/KP Innovations, LLC, 2100 Webster Street, #429, San Francisco, CA 94115, ATTN: Arbitration Opt-Out. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us or any other DrWell Parties.
Before initiating arbitration of a Dispute, you must provide us with a written Notice of Dispute that includes your name, residence address, username (if applicable) and email address associated with your User account (if applicable), a detailed description of the Dispute, and the relief you seek. Before we initiate arbitration of a Dispute against you, we will provide a written Notice of Dispute to you with a detailed description of the Dispute and the relief we seek. Any Notice of Dispute you send to us should be mailed to DrWell/KP Innovations, LLC, 2100 Webster Street, #429, San Francisco, CA 94115, ATTN: Dispute Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if we make any future material modification to any provisions of this Agreement that govern the arbitration or resolution of Disputes, such changes will not apply to any Dispute between you and us for which either party had previously provided a written Notice of Dispute to the other in accordance with this paragraph. Further, if we make any future material changes to the provisions of this Agreement that govern the arbitration or resolution of Disputes, you may reject such changes by sending a written notice of your rejection decision to us at DrWell/KP Innovations, LLC, 2100 Webster Street, #429, San Francisco, CA 94115, ATTN: Arbitration Opt-Out within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such modifications. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of these Terms and Conditions and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted the Terms and Conditions (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms and Conditions) remain in full force and effect. We will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of these Terms and Conditions.
Except as provided above, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Except as specifically outlined in this Agreement, no third party shall possess the right to enforce any provision or benefit from any advantage established or created under this Agreement.
