If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.
Any obligation to indemnify an indemnitee for any loss, liability, or expense arising from any negligent, grossly negligent, reckless, willful, fraudulent, or intentional conduct committed by an indemnitee may not be enforceable against any visitor of the services to the extent applicable law so requires, such as from certain jurisdictions (such as from new jersey).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer or exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations set forth above may not apply to you or be enforceable with respect to you. If you are dissatisfied with any portion of the service or with these terms of service, your sole and exclusive remedy are to discontinue the use of the service.

10. Dispute resolution by binding arbitration
*Please read this section carefully as it affects your rights.
Agreement to arbitrate: This dispute resolution by binding arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the Arbitration Agreement (Arbitration Agreement). You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Brightelife, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and Brightelife are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Prohibition of class and representative actions and non-individualized relief: you and Brightelife agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and Brightelife agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, 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), except that you may pursue a claim for, and the arbitrator may award public injunctive relief under applicable law to the extent required for the enforceability of this provision.
Pre-arbitration dispute resolution: Brightelife is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at help@brightelife.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (Notice). The Notice to Brightelife should be sent to 13314 Berwick Ln, Carmel, IN 46032 (Notice Address). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Brightelife and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Brightelife may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Brightelife, or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Brightelife is entitled.
Arbitration procedures: Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (AAA) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the AAA Rules), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Unless Brightelife and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Brightelife agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Costs of Arbitration: Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the Arbitration Fees) will be governed by the AAA Rules unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, Brightelife will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of the relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Brightelife will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Brightelife will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
Confidentiality: All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability: If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above-titled Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
Future changes to the arbitration agreement: Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, Brightelife agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending Brightelife written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
11. Termination
You agree that Brightelife, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Brightelife believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Brightelife may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice, and Brightelife may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service.

These Terms of Service, in conjunction with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Brightelife and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Brightelife with respect to the Services. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third-party services, third-party content, or third-party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Indiana. The failure of Brightelife to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you may have arisen out of or related to use of the Service, or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign this Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Brightelife, but Brightelife may assign or transfer this Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction.

16. Telemedicine
Some of our Services may include a telehealth online solution that allows participating medical professionals and health care staff (Providers) to communicate with their clients, customers, and/or patients (collectively, Patients) to provide health care-related services online and perform virtual house calls via an Internet connection. We are not responsible for internet connectivity or lack thereof or problems or issues related to the use thereof. We are not a medical service provider, health insurance company, nor licensed to sell health insurance. The Services are not intended for use by Providers and/or Patients in connection with active patient monitoring so as to allow immediate clinical action or continuous monitoring.
The Providers who deliver services through our Service are independent professionals practicing within a group of independently owned professional practices. We do not practice medicine or any other licensed profession and do not interfere with the practice of medicine or any other licensed profession by Providers, each of whom is responsible for his, her or their services and compliance with the requirements applicable to his/her/their profession and license.
Information provided by Providers and/or Patients is merely transmitted via the Services, not verified, or endorsed by us, and is provided on an as-is basis and we disclaim all warranties, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. We shall in no event be liable to you or to anyone for any decision made or action taken by any party (including, without limitation, any Service user) in reliance on information about Providers or Patients on the Service.
You hereby certify that you are not a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary. If you provide false or deceptive information to us, including without limitation regarding your Medicare or Medicaid enrollment status, we reserve the right to terminate all current or future use of the Services by you.
A health care provider’s ability to use our services is not an endorsement or recommendation of that health care provider by us. Neither we nor any third parties who promote the Services or provide you with a link to the Services shall be liable for any professional advice you obtain from a Provider via the Services. The medical advice provided by your Provider is not under our control, nor is it provided to you by us. If you are a Patient, you accept responsibility for yourself in the use of the Services. You acknowledge that your relationship for health care services is with your health care provider, and your obtaining services from the Provider is solely at your own risk and you assume full responsibility for all risk associated therewith, to the extent permitted by law. By using the Service, you agree to not hold us liable in any way for any malpractice or substandard treatment the Provider may render.
We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to confirm certain credentials of Providers using our Services, such as validating that they are in good standing with their respective licensure board(s). The Providers utilizing or featured on the Service are independent practitioners practicing on their own behalf, not our employees. Any opinions, advice, or information expressed by a health care facility, professional or specialist or other Provider using or featured on the Service are of the facility, professional, specialist or other Provider alone. They do not reflect our opinions.
We do not recommend or endorse any specific tests, providers, products, procedures, medications, devices, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on the Service or by a Provider or licensee of ours. We do not make any representations or warranties about the training or skill of any Providers who provide services via the Service. You will be provided with a list of available providers located in the U. S. based solely on the information you provide to us. You are ultimately responsible for choosing your particular Provider. The inclusion of Providers on the Service or in any professional directory located on the Service does not imply the recommendation or endorsement of such Provider nor is such information intended as a tool for verifying the credentials, qualifications, or abilities of any Provider contained therein.
To the extent medical advice is provided to you by a Provider through the Services, such medical advice is based on your personal health data as provided by you to the Provider and the local standards of care for your presenting symptoms, based on the information you provide.
Patients may be required to provide certain Personal Information, including name, date of birth, gender, address, email, mobile, and work phone, as well as a user id and password. Patients may also provide certain optional information, including middle name or initial, home phone and other contact info, pharmacy name and contact details, picture, and communications preferences. In addition, the Patient can communicate other health-related information to the Provider during a video consultation via the Services. Patient medication history is a list of prescriptions that healthcare providers have prescribed for you. A variety of sources, including pharmacies and health insurers, contribute to the collection of this history. By using the Services, you give your permission to allow your particular Provider to obtain your medication history, specifically for use in providing care. Optional information is not required to register for an account but may be helpful to us in providing you with a more customized experience when using the Site or its Services.
The use of the Service by any entity or individual to verify the credentials of Providers is prohibited.
17. Informed consent and risks. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine or any other Services. We believe that the likelihood of these risks materializing is very low. These risks may include, without limitation, the following: Delays in medical evaluation and consultation or treatment may occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment which may include poor video and data quality. Security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information. Lack of access to complete medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other negative outcomes.
You understand that the laws that protect the privacy and the confidentiality of medical information also apply to telemedicine. You understand that telemedicine may involve electronic communication of your personal medical information to medical practitioners who may be located in other areas, including out of state. You understand that you may expect the anticipated benefits from the use of telemedicine, but that no results can be guaranteed or assured. You understand that all information will be part of your medical record and available to you by printing the summary from the visit. This information will have the same restrictions on dissemination without your consent. Except to the extent already relied upon, you understand you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us as set forth herein to withdraw your consent and inactivate your account. You understand that your healthcare information may be shared with other individuals for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations purposes. Psychotherapy notes are maintained by clinicians but are not shared with others, while billing codes and encounter summaries are shared with others. If you obtain psychotherapy services, you understand that your therapist has the right to limit the information provided to you if in your therapist's professional judgment sharing the information with you would be harmful to you. You further understand that your healthcare information may be shared in the following circumstances: When a valid court order is issued for medical records. Reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. Preventing or reducing a serious threat to anyone's health or safety.
By using the services and/or agreeing to these terms, you agree and consent that you have read and understood the information provided herein, and understand the risks and benefits of telemedicine, and by accepting these terms of use you hereby give my informed consent to participate in a telemedicine visit under the terms described herein.
