the purchase price (if any) for such Application to you and to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty
obligation whatsoever with respect to the Apple App Store sourced Application.
As between WWHI and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages,
costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will
be the sole responsibility of WWHI.
(iii)
You and WWHI acknowledge that, in the event of any third party claim
that the Apple App Store sourced Application or your possession and use of that
Apple App Store sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual
property rights, as between WWHI and Apple, WWHI, not Apple, will be solely
responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any
such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these
Terms.
(iv)
You and WWHI acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries,
are third party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the Apple

these Terms as related to your license of the Apple App Store sourced Application

service mark displayed on the Services, Content, Documentation, or Materials without
the owner’s prior written permission, except as otherwise described in these
Terms.

documents, or proposals to WWHI through its suggestion form, feedback form,
wiki, forum, support email, or similar means (collectively, the “Feedback”)
is at your own risk and that WWHI has no obligations (including without
limitation obligations of confidentiality) with respect to such Feedback. You represent
and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit the Feedback. You
hereby grant to WWHI a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, and
nonexclusive right and license to use, copy, reformat, display, perform,
modify, disclose, distribute, adapt, create derivative works of, and otherwise
commercially or non-commercially exploit in any manner, any and all Feedback,
and to sublicense the foregoing rights.
5.
Sharing Your Information and video consent.
5.1.
Medical Providers.
By using the Application, you acknowledge that WWHI may
share the information you input into the Application, including, but not
limited to, health information, or the information the Application otherwise
gathers, collects or records (collectively, the “Records”) with your
participating medical provider and you consent to WWHI sharing such Records
with your participating medical provider. You acknowledge that WWHI has no
control over how your participating medical provider may use or disclose your
Records and, to the fullest extent permissible by law, you assume any and all
risk, known or unknown, that arises from or is related to your participating
medical provider and such providers use of the HealthKOS™ patient communication
platform and the Records. Your participating medical provider is required to
comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”)
as well as more restrictive state laws, as applicable, in such providers use
and disclosure of your health information. You may read your participating
medical provider’s Notice of Privacy Practices for additional details on how
the provider uses and discloses your health information.
5.2.
Family, Friends, and Other Third Parties.
The Application permits you to invite others, such as your
family members and friends, to participate in your healthcare (the “Invited
Third Parties”). You may do so by, for example, sending them an e-mail
invitation from the Application. You understand that WWHI will disclose some or
all of your Records to the Invited Third Parties. These Invited Third Parties
may, for example, receive alerts about your blood pressure and other healthcare
metrics as well as your use of or failure to use the Application. You
acknowledge that WWHI has no control over how Invited Third Parties may use or
disclose your Records and, to the fullest extent permissible by law, you assume
any and all risk, known or unknown, that arises from or is related to the Invited
Third Parties and their use of the Application or receipt of your Records.
5.3.
Use of Video Conferencing.
The Application includes a video conferencing feature,
which allows you and your participating medical provider to communicate
real-time through a video conference call. In using the video conferencing
feature, you agree and understand that:
(a)
You are not required to use the video conferencing feature and you can
stop using the feature at any time.
(b)
You should not use the video feature until you discuss the risks, benefits,
and consequences of using this feature with your medical provider.
(c)
The video session with you and your medical provider may be recorded
and stored. The stored session may also be shared with other third parties, if
such sharing is permitted by applicable law or with your consent, including as
further described in the Privacy policy.
(d)
Your request to connect with your medical provider via a video
conference call is not immediate. It may take your medical provider several
hours or days to respond to your request to have a video conference.
Accordingly, you will not rely on this video feature in the event of an
emergency. If
you are experiencing an emergency, dial 911 and go to the hospital.
(e)
Your medical provider may have additional policies and procedures that
govern your use of the video feature. Your provider may also require that you
sign additional consent forms before this feature is available to you or before
your provider will respond to your connection request. This feature is only
available to you if your provider agrees to use the feature.
(f)
Video and technology is not perfect. You may experience delays,
downtime, and other connection issues when using the video feature, which may
interfere with your use of the feature or otherwise compromise the quality of
the services.
(g)
While the video conferencing feature uses encryption to secure the
connection, video conference calls may not be secure and could be subject to
electronic tampering. For example, there may be other people standing in the
room that are outside of the view of the camera. Also, security protocols could
fail, causing a breach of privacy and disclosure of your Records.
(h)
Your medical provider may charge you a fee to use the video feature.
(i)
In the event your provider uses the video feature to provide medical
services, you understand that not all medical services are available when using
the video feature. For example, in some circumstances, medical providers cannot
write prescriptions for controlled substances when they see their patient over
video. Additionally, the video visit may not be equal to a face-to-face visit
because, unlike a traditional face-to-face visit, your medical provider does
not have the use of the other senses such as touch or smell.
6. Registration
and Conduct.
6.1.
Registering and Maintaining your Account.
To access and use the Application, you must register for
an account with WWHI. As part of the registration process, (a) if you are a
patient with a participating medical provider, you agree and understand that
WWHI may receive certain Records about you from your participating medical
provider; and (b) if you are an Invited Third Party, you agree that WWHI may
receive certain information about you from the individual that issued the invitation
(e.g., your relationship to the individual that issued the invitation).
You agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete
information about yourself and, if applicable, to provide true, accurate,
current, and complete information to your medical provider. WWHI is
expressly relying on you providing and maintaining true, accurate, current and
complete information and you agree and understand that some features of the
Application may not function properly or may not be available to you unless you
provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete information. If
you are a patient with a participating provider, your account with WWHI will
only be available to you so long as (i) you remain a patient with a medical
provider who is using the HealthKOS™ patient communication platform; (ii) your
medical provider approves your enrollment in and ongoing use of the HealthKOS™ patient
communication platform; and (iii) you comply with these Terms. If you are an
Invited Third Party, your account with WWHI will only be available to you so
long as (1) the individual that issued you the invitation does not disable your
invitation or you otherwise decline to accept invitation; (2) you do not
unenroll from the HealthKOS™ patient communication platform; and (3) you comply
with these Terms.
6.2.
Disabling Account and Deleting Records.
If you are a patient with a participating provider, to
disable your account with WWHI, you must notify your participating medical
provider, who will then notify WWHI to disable your account with WWHI. Your
WWHI account may be disabled or otherwise made inaccessible as requested by
your participating medical provider. If you are an Invited Third Party, you may
unenroll from the HealthKOS™ patient communication platform by providing WWHI
with applicable notice through the Services, otherwise request for the
individual who sent you the enrollment invitation to cancel or otherwise
disable the invitation, or use such other process as WWHI may reasonably
require. WWHI will maintain your Records for the longer of, as applicable, (a)
as required by applicable law; (b) the terms of WWHI’s agreement with your
participating medical provider; or (c) as provided in the WWHI Privacy policy.
6.3.

measures to protect your Access Credentials and the data in the Application by,
for example, protecting your password, selecting a strong password, using
secure Wi-Fi or VPN, using antivirus software on your computer, using a
firewall on your computer, locking your mobile device and your computer, and
using any and all other appropriate and reasonable practices.

Sharing Access Credentials.

anyone. You agree that you will be responsible for any and all statements made,

may assume that any communications WWHI receives under your Access Credentials
were made by you unless WWHI receives written notice from you otherwise.
(C)
Security Incident.
If you have any
reason to believe or reasonably suspect any loss, theft or unauthorized use of
your Access Credentials, your device, or that your access to the Application
was compromised, you must immediately notify us by e-mail using the contact

to our Security Officer.

without our express written consent.

damages or other liabilities incurred as a result of your use of any linked
sites. You should refer to such websites’ respective privacy policies and terms
and conditions.

legends or other markings, the circumstances of disclosure, or the nature of
the information itself) to be proprietary or confidential to WWHI.
(B)
