Your Relationship with Us
We make available to individuals who register as users of the Service (“Users”) certain products and services sold or offered by Wellness Concierge or by third party medical providers, pharmacies, or other vendors via our Service. Our Service provides access to prescription fulfillment services. You agree and understand that your prescription(s) may be filled by and transferred between any of the Pharmacies, and agree that the Service may do so on your behalf. We employ or contract with physicians, and allied health professionals, who offer certain healthcare services through the Platform (“Providers”). By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that any services you receive from the Labs, Pharmacies, Medical Groups or Providers through the Platform are also subject to this Agreement, and that the Labs, Pharmacies, Medical Groups and Providers are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
We do not control or interfere with the practice of medicine by the Medical Groups or any Providers, each of whom is solely responsible for directing the medical care, and/or treatment they provide to you. By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that Wellness Concierge is not a healthcare provider and that by using the Service, you are not entering into a doctor-patient or other health care provider-patient relationship with Wellness Concierge. By using the Service, you may, however, be entering into a doctor-patient or other health care provider-patient relationship with the Medical Group and/or one or more Providers. Further, we do not control or interfere with any professional service provided by the Labs and Pharmacies, each of which is solely responsible for their provision of professional services rendered via the Service.
By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that the Medical Group and/or Providers may send you messages, reports, and emails via the Service regarding your diagnosis and/or treatment. You understand and agree that Wellness Concierge is not responsible for the security or privacy of communications services you use to receive the aforementioned messages, reports, and emails sent via the Service. You further understand and agree that it is your sole responsibility to monitor and respond to these messages, reports, and emails and that neither Wellness Concierge nor the Medical Group nor any Provider will be responsible in any way and you will not hold Wellness Concierge, the Medical Group or any Provider liable for any loss, injury, or claims of any kind resulting from your failure to read or respond to these messages or for your failure to comply with any treatment recommendations or instructions from the Medical Group or your Provider(s).
While you are not establishing a doctor-patient or other health care provider-patient relationship with Wellness Concierge, by using the Service, you are establishing a direct customer relationship with Wellness Concierge to use the Service, including the purchase of any non-prescription products or non-medical services sold directly to you by Wellness Concierge via the Service. In connection with such relationship, you may provide to us, or cause to be provided to us on your behalf, personal information, including health information, that is subject to use by us in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Please refer to the “Privacy Policy” section and the “Protected Information” section below for additional information.
Notice Regarding Your Financial Responsibility for Services
Wellness Concierge and the Medical Groups are not enrolled with, and are not participating providers with, any federal or state healthcare programs (i.e., Medicare, Medicaid) for the provision of any health care or mental health services or supplies and, as such, neither you nor Wellness Concierge or the Medical Groups may receive payment from such programs for the services or products provided to you by Wellness Concierge or the Medical Groups. Further, to the extent that any of the Labs, Pharmacies, or Providers may be enrolled in federal or state healthcare programs, the means through which the services and products are provided or made accessible through the Service typically precludes such services and products from being covered benefits under these programs. By choosing to use the Service, you are specifically choosing to obtain products and services on a cash basis outside of any federal or state healthcare program. Thus, you are solely responsible for the costs of any service or product provided to you.
By agreeing to use the Service, you acknowledge and agree that (1) you are explicitly choosing to obtain products and services on a cash basis outside of any federal or state healthcare program and you have sole financial responsibility for all services or products provided to you by or through the Service; and (2) neither you nor Wellness Concierge, the Labs, the Pharmacies, the Medical Groups or the Providers will submit a claim for reimbursement to any federal or state healthcare program for the costs of the services and products provided to you through the Service.
Subscription Products and Services
Certain products and services available for purchase through the Service require that you purchase the product and/or service on an automatically renewing subscription basis. For subscription-based products and services, your payment device will be automatically charged at regular intervals as described for that product or service during the checkout process until you cancel your subscription. Your first renewal may be charged early to prevent any discontinuity in treatment. Your subsequent shipments may be charged and shipped up to two (2) days early to accommodate holidays or for other operational reasons to support continuity of treatment. We and/or the Providers may, but are not required to, perform outreach to you from time to time via the Service to request updates to your information and to facilitate ongoing subscriptions. You may cancel a subscription at any time by contacting Wellness Concierge and directly requesting a cancellation, or by calling 424-902-0025 to cancel, or through your online account. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current subscription period. Your subscription will automatically renew for another subscription period unless you cancel at least two (2) days before the applicable renewal processing date of your subscription. We do not offer refunds for partially used subscription periods, although we may provide refunds on a case-by-case basis in our sole and absolute discretion. We may also offer you the ability to pause your subscription for a specified period of time. If you do not cancel before the end of the pause period, charging to your payment device will resume automatically. We may change our subscription plans and prices from time to time; however, we will provide you advance notice of any price changes or changes to your subscription plans.
In order to simplify the user experience through the Service, you will only see and be required to pay a single “total” subscription price. If a subscription product you purchase required a consultation with a Provider, includes a prescription product that you fill through one of the Pharmacies and/or includes mental health services, then the total price you pay includes the amounts charged for use of the Service, as well as amounts charged by the Pharmacy for the prescription drug and the amount charged by the Medical Group for the services of the Provider, as applicable, which amounts are collected on behalf of and paid to the Pharmacies and Medical Groups, respectively.
Prescription Products
Certain products available through the Platform require a valid prescription by a licensed healthcare provider. You will not be able to obtain a prescription product unless you have completed a consultation with one of the Providers, the Provider has determined the prescription product is appropriate for you and the Provider has written a prescription.
If a Provider determines a prescription product is appropriate for you and writes a prescription, you will receive information about your options for filling the prescription. Certain prescriptions can be filled through one of the Pharmacies by using the Platform or you may fill the prescription at any pharmacy of your choice as prompted during your use of the Service or by emailing your request to info@wellnessconcierge.biz. Prescriptions may also be transferred among the Pharmacies without notice. Not all prescriptions fulfilled by the Pharmacies use child-resistant packaging and your prescription product may not be dispensed in a child-resistant container.
Some prescriptions are not available through the Pharmacies or must be filled by a local pharmacy of your choice as prompted during your use of the Service, including prescriptions used for many common primary care conditions.
If you complete a consultation with a Provider and fill a prescription through one of the Pharmacies, the prescription product is shipped to you by the applicable Pharmacy and the costs associated with the prescription are included in the total charged to you by the Service as described in the “Subscription Products” section above. If you fill a prescription with a pharmacy other than the Pharmacies, the Service will send the prescription to your selected pharmacy, but you will be responsible for picking up or otherwise obtaining the prescription product and paying the pharmacy directly for the cost of the prescription product.
Prescription products available through the Platform are “Third-Party Goods and Services” as described in the Third-Party Goods and Services section of this Agreement.
Laboratory Products and Services
Certain laboratory products services available through the Platform, including at-home testing kits and services, require a valid prescription or order by a licensed healthcare provider. You will not be able to obtain such laboratory services unless you have completed a consultation with one of the Providers, the Provider has determined the laboratory product and/or service is appropriate for you and the Provider has prescribed or ordered the laboratory product and/or service.
Currently, laboratory products and services offered through the Platform can only be ordered and fulfilled through the Labs and are not available through local laboratories. If you receive laboratory products and/or services from a Lab through the Platform, the applicable testing materials are shipped to you by the applicable Lab, and the costs associated with the laboratory products and services are included in the total charged to you by the Service.
Laboratory products and services available through the Platform are “Third-Party Goods and Services” as described in the Third-Party Goods and Services section of this Agreement.
Limited Use and Availability
Our Service is currently only available to individuals who are located in states in which we offer the Service, are at least eighteen (18) years of age or older, or at least the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence, if higher than eighteen (18), and who have accepted this Agreement; By visiting, accessing, registering with or using the Service, you are (a) representing and warranting to us that you are either (1) at least eighteen (18) years of age or older or at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence, if higher than eighteen (18), (b) representing and warranting to us that when you use the Service to consult with a Provider, you are located in the same state as the shipping address you provide in your account at the time that you conduct such consultation; (c) agreeing to comply with all applicable laws in visiting, accessing, registering with our using the service; and (d) agreeing that you will only use the Service for lawful purposes. Our Service is subject to state regulations and may change from time to time due to changes in applicable regulatory requirements.
Certain products available through the Service are subject to additional age restrictions, and not all products or services are available to all ages.
In some cases, the Service may not be the most appropriate way for you to provide information to, communicate with or seek medical care and treatment from a healthcare provider. For example, certain medical conditions may require an in-person procedure or a healthcare provider other than your Provider, or your Provider may determine that your diagnosis and/or treatment requires an in-person office visit or are otherwise not appropriately addressed through use of the Service. In such a case, you may receive notification that you will be unable to use the Service for the particular issue you submitted with additional information regarding next steps.
Consent to Use of Telehealth Services
Telehealth involves the delivery of health services using electronic communications, information technology or other means between a healthcare provider and a patient who is not in the same physical location. While the provision of health care services using telehealth may offer certain potential benefits, there are also potential risks associated with the use of telehealth. Telehealth services are not a substitute for in-person care in all cases. In order to use the Service, you will be required to review and agree to an informed consent regarding the use of telehealth (the “Patient Consent”) that will be provided to you via the Service. You agree that Wellness Concierge is a third-party beneficiary of the Patient Consent and has the right to enforce it against you.
Duty to Provide Information, Access, and Connectivity
You are responsible for providing and maintaining, at your own risk, option and expense, appropriate software and hardware capabilities (consistent with any technical, quality or other requirements described in the Service) to enable use of the Service, including but not limited to, a computer or mobile device with a video camera and Internet access. You are solely responsible for any fees, including Internet connection or mobile fees, that you incur when accessing the Service. You also have a duty to provide truthful, accurate and complete information in any forms or other communications you submit to or through the Service. We reserve the right to change the access configuration, including any software, hardware or other requirements of the Service at any time without prior notice.
Privacy Policy
Wellness Concierge understands the importance of confidentiality and privacy regarding your personal information. Please see our Privacy Policy for a description of how we may collect, use and disclose your personal information.
Protected Health Information
When you set up an account with Wellness Concierge, you are creating a direct customer relationship with Wellness Concierge that enables you to access and/or utilize the various functions of the Service as a user. As part of that relationship, you provide information to Wellness Concierge, including but not limited to your name, email address, shipping address and phone number, that we may collect, use and disclose in accordance with our Privacy Policy, and that we do not consider to be “health” or “medical” information.
However, in using certain components of the Service, you may also provide certain medical information that may be protected under applicable laws. Wellness Concierge is not a “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time (collectively, “HIPAA”). One or more of the Labs, Pharmacies or Medical Groups may or may not be a “covered entity” or “business associate” under HIPAA, and Wellness Concierge may in some cases be a “business associate” of a Lab, Pharmacy or Medical Group. It is important to remember that, while state-specific privacy laws may apply, HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with Wellness Concierge, the Medical Groups, the Providers, the Labs, or the Pharmacies. To the extent Wellness Concierge is deemed a “business associate” however, and solely in its role as a business associate, Wellness Concierge, may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to “protected health information,” as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to the Labs, Pharmacies, or Medical Groups (“PHI”). In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, “Protected Information”), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. However, any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under our Privacy Policy. Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with HIPAA.
The Medical Groups and Providers have adopted a Notice of Privacy Practices that describes how they use and disclose Protected Information. By accessing or using any part of the Service, you are acknowledging receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices from your Medical Group and Provider(s).
By using the Service, you are agreeing that even if HIPAA does apply to Wellness Concierge, the Medical Groups, the Providers, the Labs, or the Pharmacies, any information that you submit to Wellness Concierge that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Group and Providers or prescription fulfillment by the Pharmacies or laboratory services by the Labs, is not considered Protected Information, and will only be subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information.

You agree to accurately maintain and update any information about yourself that you have provided to Wellness Concierge, a Medical Group or its Providers, the Labs or the Pharmacies. If you do not keep such information current, or fail to submit truthful, accurate and complete information, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect as much, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and your use of the Service. You also agree to immediately notify Wellness Concierge of any unauthorized use of your username, password or any other breach of security that you become aware of involving or relating to the Service by contacting Wellness Conciergevia email at info@wellnessconcierge.biz.

To help protect the privacy of data you transmit through the Service, where personally identifiable information is requested, we also use technology designed to encrypt the information that you input before it is sent to us using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology or similar encryption technology. In addition, we take steps to protect the User data we collect against unauthorized access. However, you should keep in mind that the Service and our services are run on software, hardware, and networks, any component of which may, from time to time, require maintenance or experience problems or breaches of security beyond our control. In addition, persons with access to your computer, phone, or other mobile or other devices may be able to access the Service and information about you, including medical information, contained in the Service. It is your responsibility to affirmatively logout from your account when you are not actively using it.

Additional information about Wellness Concierge Payment Vendors, their respective privacy policies and their information security measures (collectively, the “Payment Vendor Policies”) should be available on the Converge website located at https://www.convergepay.com/ or by contacting Converge directly and the Elavon website located at https://www.elavon.com/ or by contacting Elavon directly. Reference is made to the Payment Vendor Policies for informational purposes only and are in no way incorporated into or made a part of this Agreement. Wellness Concierge’ relationship with Payment Vendors, if any, is merely contractual in nature, as Payment Vendors are nothing more than third-party vendors to Wellness Concierge and are in no way subject to Wellness Concierge’ direction or control; thus, their relationship is not, and should not be construed as, one of fiduciaries, franchisors-franchisees, agents-principals, employers-employees, partners, joint venturers or the like.

Binding Arbitration / Class Waiver
YOU AND WE EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL CLAIM, DISPUTE OR OTHER CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND US OR ANY OF THE WELLNESS CONCIERGE PARTIES, ANY MEDICAL GROUPS, PROVIDERS, LABS, OR PHARMACIES ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE WELLNESS CONCIERGE PARTIES, THE PLATFORM, THE CONTENT OR THE SERVICE, OR ANY OTHER GOODS, SERVICES OR ADVERTISING BY WELLNESS CONCIERGE OR ANY OF THE WELLNESS CONCIERGE PARTIES, LABS, PHARMACIES, MEDICAL GROUPS, OR PROVIDERS, INCLUDING CONTROVERSIES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”), THAT IS NOT RESOLVED BY AN INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION CONFERENCE (AS DEFINED AND DESCRIBED BELOW), SHALL BE RESOLVED IN CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BEFORE ONE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATOR FROM THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”), RATHER THAN IN A COURT, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA’S CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES AND, IF THE ARBITRATOR DEEMS THEM APPLICABLE, THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (COLLECTIVELY, “RULES AND PROCEDURES”). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, “DISPUTE” WILL ALSO INCLUDE DISPUTES THAT AROSE OR INVOLVE FACTS OCCURING BEFORE THE EXISTENCE OF THIS OR ANY PRIOR 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. You and we therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you will also participate in the conference.
The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing 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 by the parties. Notice to us that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email info@wellnessconcierge.biz or regular mail to our offices located at 1653 7th Street #7474, Santa Monica CA 90401. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one); (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 more informal 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.
Payment of arbitration costs will be governed by the AAA’s fee schedule. Each party agrees to pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid attorneys’ fees and expenses.
The arbitration shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California, except that, in the event Los Angeles, 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 award 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 involving 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 Wellness Concierge Party agree that a party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court in Los Angeles, 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 decides 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 Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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 increase 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 can 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 Wellness Concierge or any of the Wellness Concierge Parties, Medical Groups, Labs, 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: Wellness Concierge, 1653 7thStreet #7474, Santa Monica, CA 90401, 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 Wellness Concierge Parties.
Before you commence 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 commence 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 Wellness Concierge, 1653 7th Street #7474, Santa Monica, CA 90401, 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 Wellness Concierge, 1653 7th Street, #7474, Santa Monica, CA 90401, 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.

BY CLICKING “I AGREE,” CHECKING A RELATED BOX TO SIGNIFY YOUR ACCEPTANCE, USING ANY OTHER ACCEPTANCE PROTOCOL PRESENTED THROUGH THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE AFFIRMATIVELY ACCEPTING THIS CONSENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, ACCEPTED, AND AGREED TO BE BOUND BY THIS CONSENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS CONSENT, DO NOT CREATE AN ACCOUNT OR USE THE SERVICE. YOU HEREBY GRANT AGENCY AUTHORITY TO ANY PARTY WHO CLICKS ON THE “I AGREE” BUTTON OR OTHERWISE INDICATES ACCEPTANCE TO THIS CONSENT ON YOUR BEHALF.
IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION SUCH AS CONTEMPLATING SUICIDE, CALL 911 OR THE 988 SUICIDE & CRISIS LIFELINE AT 988.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this consent form (“Consent”) is to provide you with information about telehealth and to obtain your informed consent to the use of telehealth in the delivery of healthcare and/or mental health services to you by physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and/or mental health professionals (“Providers”) using the online platforms owned and operated by Wellness Concierge and/or its subsidiaries (the “Service”). In this Consent, the terms “you” and “yours” refer to the person using the Service, or in the case of a use of the Service by or on behalf of an individual minor between the ages of thirteen (13) and eighteen (18) or higher age of majority under applicable state law, “you” and “yours” refer to and include (i) the parent or legal guardian who provides consent to the use of the Service by such minor or uses the Service on behalf of such minor, and (ii) the minor for whom consent is being provided or on whose behalf the Service is being utilized.
USE OF TELEHEALTH
Telehealth involves the delivery of healthcare and/or mental health services using electronic communications, information technology or other means between a healthcare or mental health provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location. Telehealth may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and/or patient education, and may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: electronic transmission of medical records, photo images, personal health information or other data between a patient and a provider; interactions between a patient and provider via audio, video and/or data communications (such as messaging or email communications); use of output data from medical devices, sound and video files. Alternative methods of care may be available to you, such as in-person services, and you may choose an alternative at any time. Always discuss alternative options with your Provider.
ANTICIPATED BENEFITS
The use of telehealth may have the following possible benefits: making it easier and more efficient for you to access medical care or other services and treatment for the conditions treated by your Provider(s); allowing you to obtain medical care or other services and treatment by Provider(s) at times that are convenient for you; and enabling you to interact with Provider(s) without the necessity of an in-office appointment. Participation in mental health services may reduce stress and anxiety, decrease negative thoughts, improve relationships, and increase comfort in different settings.
POTENTIAL RISKS
While the use of telehealth in the delivery of care can provide potential benefits for you, there are also potential risks associated with the use of telehealth and other technology. These risks include, but may not be limited to the following: the quality, accuracy or effectiveness of the services you receive from your Provider could be limited; technology, including the Service, may contain bugs or other errors, including ones which may limit functionality, produce erroneous results, render part or all of such technology, including the Service, unavailable or inoperable, produce incorrect records, transmissions, data or content, or cause records, transmissions, data or content to be corrupted or lost; failures of technology may also impact your Provider(s) ability to correctly diagnose or treat your condition; the inability of your Provider(s) to conduct certain tests or assess vital signs in-person may in some cases prevent the Provider(s) from providing a diagnosis or treatment or from identifying the need for emergency medical care or treatment for you; your Provider(s) may not able to provide treatment for your particular condition and you may be required to seek alternative healthcare or emergency care services; mental health services may result in feeling worse as therapy progresses; delays in medical evaluation/treatment could occur due to unavailability of your Provider(s) or deficiencies or failures of the technology or electronic equipment used; the electronic systems or other security protocols or safeguards used could fail, causing a breach of privacy of your medical or other information; data stored and communicated electronically, for example, through email communications, may be more susceptible to unintended disclosure of protected health information to third parties; given regulatory requirements in certain jurisdictions, your Provider(s) diagnosis and/or treatment options, especially pertaining to certain prescriptions, may be limited; a lack of access to all of your medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors.
LIFE THREATENING AND OTHER EMERGENCY SITUATIONS; FOLLOW-UP CARE
If you are experiencing a life-threatening situation such as contemplating suicide, call 911 or the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.
If the situation is an emergency, call 911.
In some situations, telehealth is not an appropriate method of care. If you require immediate or urgent care, you must seek care at an emergency room facility or other provider equipped to deliver urgent or emergent care. Providers may not respond promptly to communications you submit through the Service. If you are not experiencing an emergency or do not require immediate or urgent care, you can communicate with Providers through the secure message service in the Service. If a technical failure prevents you from communicating with your Providers through the Service, you should call the following number: Phone: 424-902-0025 (M-F 9AM – 5PM PST).
DATA PRIVACY AND PROTECTION
The electronic systems used in the Service will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of your information and will include measures to safeguard data against intentional or unintentional corruption. Personal information that identifies you or contains protected health information will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent, except as authorized by law for the purposes of consultation, treatment, payment/billing, certain administrative purposes, and as required by law to disclose to other persons and agencies certain information obtained during the provision of mental health services (e.g., danger to self or others; mandatory reporting of child, elder, or vulnerable adult abuse) or as otherwise set forth in your Provider's Notice of Privacy Practices. Use of the Service may include email communications to and from you that may include your protected health information. You understand that Wellness Concierge does not and cannot guarantee the security or privacy of the services you use to receive communications, including for example your email service provider.
LABORATORY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Certain healthcare services provided to you by Providers via the Service may require that you complete an at-home diagnostic test. These diagnostic tests are provided by third-party laboratories, and neither Wellness Concierge and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Wellness Concierge”), nor your Provider(s) can guarantee the accuracy or reliability of these tests. These laboratory tests can provide false negative, false positive, or inconclusive results that could impact your Provider(s) ability to correctly diagnose or treat your medical conditions. A failure or defect of these tests could also impact your Provider(s) ability to correctly diagnose or treat your medical conditions.
OPEN PAYMENTS NOTICE
For informational purposes only, a link to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Open Payments web page is provided here. The federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act requires that detailed information about payment and other payments of value worth over ten dollars ($10) from manufacturers of drugs, medical device, and biologics to physicians and teaching hospitals be made available to the public. The Open Payments database is a federal tool used to search payments made by drug and device companies to physicians and teaching hospitals. It can be found at https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov.
YOUR ACKNOWLEDGMENTS By clicking “I Agree”, checking a related box to signify your acceptance, using any other acceptance protocol presented through the Service or otherwise affirmatively accepting this consent, you are agreeing and providing your consent with respect to the following:
Healthcare services provided to you by Providers via the Service will be provided by telehealth. In some cases, your treating Provider may be a nurse practitioner or physician assistant and not a physician, and you agree to be treated by non-physician providers, if applicable, by using the Service. Your treating Provider for therapy services will be a mental health professional, such as a licensed counselor. Certain technology, including the Service, may be used while still in a beta testing and development phase, and before such technology is a final and finished product. Technology used to deliver care, including the Service, may contain bugs or other errors, including ones which may limit functionality, produce erroneous results, render part or all of such technology unavailable or inoperable, produce incorrect records, transmissions, data or content, or cause records, transmissions, data or content to be corrupted or lost, any or all of which could limit or otherwise impact the quality, accuracy and/or effectiveness of the medical care or other services that you receive from your Provider(s). Certain diagnostic testing services, including laboratory products and services offered through the Service, may contain defects, including ones which may limit functionality or produce erroneous results, any or all of which could limit or otherwise impact the quality, accuracy and/or effectiveness of the medical care or other services that you receive from your Provider(s). The delivery of healthcare services via telehealth is an evolving field and the use of telehealth or other technology in your medical care and treatment from Provider(s) may include uses of technology different from those described in this Consent or not specifically described in this Consent. No potential benefits from the use of telehealth or other technology or specific results can be guaranteed, including any laboratory testing results or related diagnosis or treatment by your Provider(s). Your condition may not be cured or improved, and in some cases, may get worse. There are limitations in the provision of medical care or other services and treatment via telehealth and technology, including the Service, and you may not be able to receive diagnosis and/or treatment through telehealth for every condition for which you seek diagnosis and/or treatment. There are potential risks to the use of telehealth and other technology, including but not limited to the risks described in this Consent. You have the opportunity to discuss the use of telehealth, including the Service, with your Provider(s), including the benefits and risks of such use and the alternatives to the use of telehealth. You understand that there will be no recording of any online treatment sessions by your Provider(s) or you. Your Provider(s) will assess your medical condition and, in their sole discretion, may determine it is medically appropriate to diagnose and/or treat your condition via telehealth and whether you maintain sufficient knowledge and skills in the use of technology appropriate to diagnosing and/or treating your condition via telehealth. By continuing to use the Service, you concur with your Provider’s medical assessment and agree to receive a diagnosis and/or treatment via telehealth technology. You have the right to withdraw your consent to the use of telehealth in the course of your care, without prejudice to any future care or treatment and without risking the loss or withdrawal of any health benefits to which your entitled, but you understand that the Providers who utilize the Service do not offer in-person treatment. Any withdrawal of your consent will be effective upon receipt of written notice to your Providers, except that such withdrawal will not have any effect on any action taken by Wellness Concierge or your Provider(s) in reliance on this Consent before it received your written notice of withdrawal. Any withdrawal of your consent will not affect any other provision of this Consent, and you will continue to be bound by this Consent. You understand that the use of the Service involves electronic communication to and from you of your personal medical information in connection with the provision of telehealth services, including through email. You understand that it is your duty to provide Wellness Concierge and your Provider(s) truthful, accurate and complete information, including all relevant information regarding care that you may have received or may be receiving from healthcare and/or mental health providers including emergency contact information for your local healthcare and/or mental health providers. You understand that each of your Provider(s) will assess your medical condition and, in their sole discretion, may determine it is medically appropriate to diagnose and/or treat your condition using telehealth technology, including the Service. By continuing to use the Service, you concur with your Provider’s medical assessment and agree to receive a diagnosis and/or treatment via telehealth technology. You understand that each of your Provider(s) may determine in their sole discretion that your condition is not suitable for diagnosis and/or treatment using telehealth technology, including the Service, and that you may need to seek care and treatment from a specialist or other healthcare or mental health provider, outside of such telehealth technology.

Introduction
Wellness Concierge and its subsidiaries (“Wellness Concierge” “we,” or ”us”) owns and operates websites (the “Websites”) located at www.wellnessconcierge.biz and may have previously, now or in the future own and/or operate a Wellness Concierge mobile application (collectively, the “Platform”). Your access and use of the Platform, any part thereof, or anything associated therewith, including its content (“Content”), any products or services provided through the Platform or otherwise by Wellness Concierge, and any affiliated website, software or application owned or operated by Wellness Concierge (collectively, including the Platform and the Content, the “Service”) are subject to this Privacy Policy unless specifically stated otherwise. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy have the same meaning as set forth in the Wellness Concierge Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”).
We are committed to respecting the privacy of users of the Service. We created this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) to tell you how Wellness Concierge collects, uses, and discloses information in order to provide you with the Service.
By creating, registering, or logging into an account through the Service, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you are acknowledging the most recent version of this Privacy Policy. We will update this Privacy Policy when necessary to reflect material changes in the Service or how we use personal information, and as required by applicable law. If we make any changes to our Privacy Policy, we will post the revised Privacy Policy and update the “Last updated” date at the top of the Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will provide notice or obtain consent regarding such changes as may be required by law.
If you are using the Service on behalf of an individual other than yourself, you represent that you are authorized by such an individual to act on such an individual's behalf and that such individual acknowledges the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Limitations on Use by Minors
The Service is generally intended for use by individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age or such older age as may be required by applicable state laws in the jurisdiction in which an individual utilizes the Service. The Service is not designed or intended to attract, and is not directed to, children under eighteen (18) years of age. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have collected personal information through the Platform from a person under eighteen (18) years of age, we will use reasonable efforts to refrain from further using such personal information or maintaining it in retrievable form.
Furthermore, if you are under eighteen (18) years of age, then you (or your parent or legal guardian if you are under age 13) may at any time request that we remove content or information about you that is posted on the Platform. Please submit any such request (“Request for Removal of Minor Information”) to either of the following:
For each Request for Removal of Minor Information, please state “Removal of Minor Information” in the email or letter subject line, and clearly state the following in the body of the request:
We will not accept any Request for Removal of Minor Information via telephone or facsimile. Wellness Concierge is not responsible for failing to comply with any Request for Removal of Minor Information that is incomplete, incorrectly labeled or incorrectly sent.
Please note that we are not required to erase or otherwise eliminate, or enable erasure or elimination of such content or information in certain circumstances, such as, for example, when an international, federal, state, or local law, rule or regulation requires Wellness Concierge to maintain the content or information; when Wellness Concierge maintains the content or information on behalf of your Providers (as defined in our Terms and Conditions) as part of your electronic medical record; when the content or information is stored on or posted to the Site by a third party other than you (including any content or information posted by you that was stored, republished or reposted by the third party); when Wellness Concierge anonymizes the content or information, so that you cannot be individually identified; when you do not follow the aforementioned instructions for requesting the removal of the content or information; and when you have received compensation or other consideration for providing the content or information.
The foregoing is a description of Wellness Concierge’ voluntary practices concerning the collection of personal information through the Service from certain minors, and is not intended to be an admission that Wellness Concierge is subject to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the Federal Trade Commission’s Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule(s), or any similar international, federal, state, or local laws, rules, or regulations.
Protected Information
When you set up an account with Wellness Concierge, you are creating a direct customer relationship with Wellness Concierge that enables you to access and/or utilize the various functions of the Platform and the Service as a user. As part of that relationship, you provide information to Wellness Concierge, including but not limited to, your name, email address, shipping address, phone number and certain transactional information, which we do not consider to be “protected health information” or “medical information.”
However, in using certain components of the Service, you may provide certain health or medical information that may be protected under applicable laws. Wellness Concierge is not a “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, and its related regulations and amendments from time to time (collectively, “HIPAA”). One or more of the Labs, Pharmacies or Medical Groups (as defined in our Terms and Conditions) may or may not be a “covered entity” or “business associate” under HIPAA, and Wellness Concierge may in some cases be a “business associate” of a Pharmacy or Medical Group. It is important to note that HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with Wellness Concierge, the Medical Groups, the Providers, the Labs, or the Pharmacies. To the extent Wellness Concierge is deemed a “business associate” however, and solely in its role as a business associate, Wellness Concierge, may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to “protected health information,” as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to Wellness Concierge, the Medical Group or the Providers (“PHI”). In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, “Protected Information”), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. However, any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under this Privacy Policy. Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with applicable laws. The Medical Groups and Providers have adopted a Notice of Privacy Practices that describes how they use and disclose Protected Information. By accessing or using any part of the Service, you acknowledge receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices from your Medical Group and Provider(s).
By accessing or using any part of the Service, you understand that any information that you submit to Wellness Concierge that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Group and Providers, laboratory services by the Labs or prescription fulfillment by the Pharmacies, is not considered Protected Information, and will be subject only to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information. For purposes of clarity, information you provide to Wellness Concierge in order to register and set up an account on the Platform, including name, date of birth, username, email address, shipping address, and phone number, are not considered Protected Information.
Collection of Personal Information
The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with us, the services you use, and the choices you make.
We collect information about you from different sources and in various ways when you use our services, including information you provide directly, information collected automatically, information from third-party data sources, and data we infer or generate from other data.
Information you provide directly. We collect personal information you provide to us. For example:
Information we collect automatically. When you use our services, we collect some information automatically. For example:
Information we create or generate. We infer new information from other data we collect, including using automated means to generate information about your likely preferences or other characteristics (“inferences”). For example, we infer your general geographic location (such as city, state, and country) based on your IP address.
Information we obtain from third-party sources. We also obtain the types of information described above from third parties. These third-party sources include, for example:
When you are asked to provide personal information, you may decline. And you may use web browser or operating system controls to prevent certain types of automatic data collection. But if you choose not to provide or allow information that is necessary for certain services or features, those services or features may not be available or fully functional.
Wellness Concierge Health provides management services to the medical providers and certain pharmacies you may access through the Service. As a result, we may store additional health information on their behalf, including your medical record, communications with providers, medical history, and prescription information.
Cookies, Mobile IDs, and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, mobile analytics and advertising IDs, and similar technologies to operate our websites and online services and to help collect data, including usage data, identifiers, and device information.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed by a website and stored by your browser on your device. A cookie can later be read when your browser connects to a web server in the same domain that placed the cookie. The text in a cookie contains a string of numbers and letters that may uniquely identify your device and can contain other information as well. This allows the web server to recognize your browser over time, each time it connects to that web server.
Web beacons are electronic images (also called single-pixel or clear GIFs) that are contained within a website or email. When your browser opens a webpage or email that contains a web beacon, it automatically connects to the web server that hosts the image (typically operated by a third party). This allows that web server to log information about your device and to set and read its own cookies. In the same way, third-party content on our websites (such as embedded videos, plug-ins, or ads) results in your browser connecting to the third-party web server that hosts that content. We also include web beacons in our email messages or newsletters to tell us if you open and act on them.
Mobile analytics and advertising IDs are generated by operating systems for mobile devices (iOS and Android) and can be accessed and used by apps in much the same way that websites access and use cookies. Our apps contain software that enables us and our third-party analytics and advertising partners to access these mobile IDs.
How do we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies?
We, and our analytics and advertising partners, use these technologies in our websites, apps, and online services to collect personal information (such as the pages you visit, the links you click on, and similar usage information, identifiers, and device information) when you use our services, including personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services. This data is used to store your preferences and settings, enable you to sign-in, analyze how our websites and apps perform, track your interaction with the site or app, develop inferences, deliver and tailor interest-based advertising, combat fraud, and fulfill other legitimate purposes. We and/or our partners also share the data we collect or infer with third parties for these purposes. For more information about the third-party analytics and advertising partners that collect personal information on our services, please see the “Disclosure of Personal Information” section of this Privacy Policy.
What controls are available?
There are a range of cookie and related controls available through browsers, mobile operating systems, and elsewhere. See the “Choice and Control of Personal Information” section below for details.

Choice and Control of Personal Information
We provide a variety of ways for you to control the personal information we hold about you, including choices about how we use that data. In some jurisdictions, these controls and choices may be enforceable as rights under applicable law.
Access, portability, correction, and deletion. If you wish to access, copy, download, correct, or delete personal information about you that we hold, please visit our Privacy Policy page. If you are unable to access, copy, correct, or delete certain personal information we have via those means, you can send us a request by using contact methods described at the bottom of this Privacy Policy.
Communications preferences. You can choose whether to receive promotional communications from us by email or SMS. If you receive promotional email or SMS messages from us and would like to stop, you can do so by following the directions in that message or by contacting us as described in the “Contacting Us” section below.

Data sales. Some privacy laws define “sale” broadly to include some of the disclosures described in the “Disclosure of Personal Information” section above.

Except for the automated controls described above, if you send us a request to exercise your rights or these choices, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we may decline requests in certain cases. For example, we may decline requests where granting the request would be prohibited by law, could adversely affect the privacy or other rights of another person, would reveal a trade secret or other confidential information, or would interfere with a legal or business obligation that requires retention or use of the data. Further, we may decline a request where we are unable to authenticate you as the person to whom the data relates, the request is unreasonable or excessive, or where otherwise permitted by applicable law. If you receive a response from us informing you that we have declined your request, in whole or in part, you may appeal that decision by submitting your appeal using the contact method described at the bottom of this Privacy Policy.
Finally, please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to your “personal information,” which is separate from “medical information” or “protected health information.” To understand our information practices and your rights with respect to such information, visit the Medical Groups Notice of Privacy Practices.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the services and fulfill the transactions you have requested, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and for other legitimate and lawful business purposes. Because these needs can vary for different data types in the context of different services, actual retention periods can vary significantly based on criteria such as user expectations or consent, the sensitivity of the information, the availability of automated controls that enable users to delete data, and our legal or contractual obligations.
Transactions
In connection with any transaction that you conduct through the Service (e.g., the purchase or sale of any products or services on or through the Service), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to the transaction, including, without limitation, your credit card number and expiration date, your billing address, your shipping address, your phone number and/or your email address. By submitting such information, you grant Wellness Concierge without charge the irrevocable, unencumbered, universe-wide, and perpetual right to provide such information to third parties (e.g., payment processing companies, buyers on the Service, sellers on the Service) for the purpose of facilitating the transaction.
All credit card, debit card and other monetary transactions on or through the Service occur through an online payment processing application(s) accessible through the Service. This online payment processing application(s) is provided by Wellness Concierge’ third-party online payment processing vendors, Converge (“Converge”) and Elavon (“Elavon”) (collectively, “Payment Vendors”). Additional information about Wellness Concierge Payment Vendors, their respective privacy policies and their information security measures (collectively, the “Payment Vendor Policies”) should be available on the Converge website located at https://www.convergepay.com/ or by contacting Converge directly and the Elavon website located at https://www.elavon.com/ or by contacting Elavon directly. Reference is made to the Payment Vendor Policies for informational purposes only and are in no way incorporated into or made a part of this Privacy Policy. Wellness Concierge’ relationship with Payment Vendors, if any, is merely contractual in nature, as Payment Vendors are nothing more than a third-party vendor to Wellness Concierge, and they are in no way subject to Wellness Concierge’ direction or control; thus, their relationship is not, and should not be construed as, one of fiduciaries, franchisors-franchisees, agents-principals, employers-employees, partners, joint venturers or the like.
Jurisdictional Issues
The Service may only be used within certain states within the United States as described in our Terms and Conditions. Accordingly, this Privacy Policy, and our collection, use, and disclosure of information about you, is governed by U.S. law.
California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident and the processing of personal information about you is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have certain rights with respect to that information.
Notice at Collection. At or before the time of collection, you have a right to receive notice of our practices, including the categories of personal information and sensitive personal information to be collected, the purposes for which such information is collected or used, whether such information is sold or shared, and how long such information is retained You can find those details in this Privacy Policy.
Right to Know. You have a right to request that we disclose to you the personal information we have collected about you. You also have a right to request additional information about our collection, use, disclosure, or sale of such personal information. Note that we have provided much of this information in this Privacy Policy. You may make such a “request to know” by emailing us at info@wellnessconcierge.biz.
Rights to Request Correction or Deletion. You also have rights to request that we correct inaccurate personal information and that we delete personal information under certain circumstances, subject to a number of exceptions. To make a request to correct or delete, email us at info@wellnessconcierge.biz.
Right to Opt-Out / “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”. You have a right to opt-out from future “sales” or “sharing” of personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA.
Note that the CCPA defines “sell,” “share,” and “personal information” very broadly, and some of our data sharing described in this Privacy Policy may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under those definitions. In particular, we let advertising and analytics providers collect identifiers (IP addresses, cookie IDs, and mobile IDs), activity data (browsing, clicks, app usage, non-product identifying transaction data), device data, and geolocation data through our sites and apps when you use our online services, but do not “sell” or “share” any other types of personal information. If you do not wish for us or our partners to “sell” or “share” personal information relating to your visits to our sites for advertising purposes, you can make your request by viewing our Privacy Policy or using a Global Privacy Control. If you opt-out using these choices, we will not share or make available such personal information in ways that are considered a “sale” or “sharing” under the CCPA. However, we will continue to make available to our partners (acting as our service providers) some personal information to help us perform advertising-related functions. Further, using these choices will not opt you out of the use of previously “sold” or “shared” personal information or stop all interest-based advertising. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.
Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. You have a right to limit our use of sensitive personal information for any purposes other than to provide the services or goods you request or as otherwise permitted by law.
To opt-out from such additional purposes, please visit “Your Privacy Choices” on the bottom of our webpage or use the Global Privacy Control described in the “Choice and Control” section of this Privacy Policy.
You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights under the CCPA. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require the agent to provide proof you have authorized it to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us.
Further, to provide, correct, or delete specific pieces of personal information we will need to verify your identity to the degree of certainty required by law. We will verify your request by asking you to send it from the email address associated with your account or requiring you to provide information necessary to verify your account.
Finally, you have a right to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights set out in the CCPA.
Additionally, under California Civil Code section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, California residents who have provided personal information to a business with which the individual has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California Customers”) may request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
Please be aware that we do not disclose personal information to any third parties for their direct marketing purposes as defined by this law. California Customers may request further information about our compliance with this law by emailing info@wellnessconcierge.biz. Please note that businesses are required to respond to one request per California Customer each year and may not be required to respond to requests made by means other than through the designated email address.
Miscellaneous
We strive to use reasonable physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, you must keep your account password secure and your account confidential, and you are responsible for any and all use of your account. To help us protect personal information, we request that you use a strong password and never share your password with anyone or use the same password with other sites or accounts. If you have reason to believe that the security of your account has been compromised, please notify us immediately in accordance with the “Contacting Us” section below.
When using the Service, you may choose not to provide us with certain information, but this may limit the features you are able to use or may prevent you from using the Service all together. You may also choose to opt out of receiving certain communications (e.g., newsletters, promotions) by emailing us your preference. Please note that even if you opt out, we may still send you Service-related communications. We do not currently respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide a method to opt out of the collection of information across the networks of websites and online services in which we participate. If we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so in this Privacy Policy. Wellness Concierge may supplement, amend, or otherwise modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Such supplements, amendments and other modifications will be posted on this or a similar page of the Service, and shall be deemed effective as of the “Last Updated” date; provided, however, that Wellness Concierge will notify you and/or require you to accept the updated Privacy Policy if the supplemented, amended or otherwise modified Privacy Policy implements material changes from Wellness Concierge’ then-current Privacy Policy. It is your responsibility to carefully review this Privacy Policy each time you visit, access, or use the Service.
