PRIVACY POLICY

PureBlue understands the importance of confidentiality and privacy regarding your health information. PureBlue will act in accordance with HIPAA to protect your private health information.

YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH PureBlue

PureBlue does not provide any medical services, including via the Sites and Services. Rather, PureBlue provides a technology platform for you to access a health care provider employed or contracted with PureBlue physicians or similar affiliated professional entities 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 not a substitute for direct in-person health care services in all cases. The decision to focus on diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or both, rests with you and the health care provider. You understand that by coordinating and in certain cases consulting with PureBlue or affiliate health care provider through the Services, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with PureBlue itself.

By accepting the Terms of Use, you agree and consent to PureBlue, PureBlue affiliates, or health care providers sending you disclosures, notices, messages, reports, and other communications. It is your responsibility to monitor these communications. You acknowledge and agree that you will not hold us or any PureBlue affiliate 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.

CONSULTATIVE SERVICE

In some cases, a PureBlue physician or affiliated health care provider may use the Services to provide advice or treatment to you. A health care provider consulting with you through the Services may not have the benefit of information that would be obtained by examining you in person and observing your physical condition, in each instance. Therefore, the health care provider may not be aware of facts or information that may affect his or her opinion regarding a potential diagnosis or treatment recommendation. To reduce the risk to you of this limitation, PureBlue strongly encourages you to provide all relevant information and discuss any and all diagnosis and treatment options with a health care provider. Moreover, a health care provider utilizing PureBlue may be limited by state law in prescribing certain medications to you without first conducting an in-person physical examination. By deciding to engage the Services, you acknowledge and agree that you are aware of these limitations and agree to assume the risk of these limitations. Furthermore, you agree and accept that: (i) any diagnosis you may receive is limited and, in some cases, provisional;

(ii) the health care services are not intended, in all cases, to replace a full medical evaluation or an in-person visit with a health care provider; (iii) a health care provider acting through the Services may not have important information

that is usually obtained through a “hands-on” physical examination; and (iv) the absence of a physical examination may affect the health care provider’s ability to diagnose any potential condition, disease or injury.

SITE CONTENT

Except for specific communications received from your PureBlue physician or affiliate health care organizations and providers, none of the Content you receive through the Sites should be considered medical advice.

REGISTRATION AND USER ACCOUNTS

Although certain parts of the Sites are accessible by any individual, you are obligated to register with PureBlue in order to access the Services. The Services are available only to users who have registered with PureBlue and to other persons affiliated with PureBlue who have been granted accounts with usernames and passwords (“Secure Users”). If you are a Secure User, you agree to provide information that is accurate, complete and correct, and to accurately maintain and update any information about yourself that you have provided to PureBlue. If you do not maintain such information, or PureBlue has reasonable grounds to suspect as much, PureBlue has the right to suspend or terminate your account and your use of the Services. You agree to keep confidential your username and password and to exit from your Secure User account at the end of each session. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account and for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. You are responsible for changing your password promptly if you think it has been compromised. You may not transfer or share your password with anyone, or create more than one account. You may not use anyone else’s account at any time. PureBlue explicitly disclaims liability for any and all losses and damages arising from your failure to comply with this section. You acknowledge and agree that: (1) all or any part of the Sites may not be accessible at any time, for any period, or for any reason; and (2) PureBlue will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Sites are unavailable at any time or for any period.

ACCESS RIGHTS AND PROHIBITED USE

Subject to your compliance with these Terms of Use, we hereby grant to you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, and nontransferable right to view, download, access, and use the Sites in the United States and to use the Services solely for your personal and non-commercial use and only as permitted under these Terms of Use, the Consent to Telehealth, and the Privacy Policy.

OWNERSHIP OF SITE CONTENT

As between PureBlue and you, PureBlue is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Sites and their content, features and functionality, other Content, and all intellectual property rights therein, and any suggestions, ideas or other feedback provided by you.

The Linked Sites may not be under our control, therefore, we are not responsible for the information, products or services described thereon, or for the content of any Linked Site, including, without limitation, any link contained in a Linked Site, or any changes or updates to a Linked Site. We are providing these Linked Sites to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not necessarily imply endorsement of the Linked Site or any association with its operators. Your use of these Linked Sites 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 Linked Sites.

You understand and agree that we are not responsible for the information, products or services described on those Linked Sites and only these Terms of Use will apply to your use of or access to the Sites.

TERMINATION

The Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect as long as you continue to access or use the Sites or Services. You may terminate the Terms of Use at any time by discontinuing use of the Sites. Your permission to use the Sites automatically terminates if you violate these Terms of Use.

PureBlue may terminate or suspend any of the rights granted by these Terms of Use and your access to and use of the Sites or Services with or without prior notice, for any reason, and at any time. 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, Venue, Severability of Provisions; No Waiver; and Assignment.

After such termination, PureBlue 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.

All parts of these Terms of Use apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. PureBlue and you both agree that if we cannot enforce a part of this contract
