The Consumer must resolve any dispute between the Consumer or any healthcare provider arising from any transaction directly with the healthcare provider.

Mobile Services

Aspects of our Services may include certain applications for the Consumer’s mobile device (collectively, the “Mobile Services”). By using the Mobile Services, the Consumer:

agrees not to use or manipulate the Mobile Services on the Consumer’s mobile device while driving or operating any other heavy machinery;

In no event will we be liable for making these changes. We may also impose limits on the use or access of certain features or portions of the Mobile Services, in any case without notice or liability.

Any mobile application(s) made available by us (the “Apps”) are licensed to the Consumer on a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferrable basis, and not sold to the Consumer. The Consumer’s limited license to the Apps is subject to the Consumer’s prior acceptance of these Terms of Use and the Consumer agrees that these Terms of Use will apply to the Apps that the Consumer license. The Consumer’s limited license to any Apps under these Terms of Use is granted by us. Any App that is subject to the limited license granted under these Terms of Use is referred to herein as a “Licensed Application.” We reserve all rights in and to any Licensed Applications not expressly granted to the Consumer under these Terms of Use.

Scope of License

This license granted to the Consumer for any Licensed Application is a limited, non-exclusive and nontransferable license to (i) download, install and use the Licensed Application for the Consumer’s personal, non-commercial use on a single, compatible mobile device that the Consumer own or control (“Mobile Device”), as permitted by these Terms of Use and subject to any additional rules and restrictions imposed upon the Consumer by third parties, such as rules and restrictions imposed by the Consumer’s mobile device provider and the Consumer’s mobile application store provider (“Third-Party Rules”); and (ii) access, stream, download and use on such Mobile Device the Content and the Mobile Services made available in or otherwise accessible through the Licensed Applications, strictly in accordance with these Terms of Use. For the avoidance of doubt, this license does not allow the Consumer to use any Licensed Application on any Mobile Device that the Consumer does not own or control, and the Consumer may not distribute or make any Licensed Application available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time. The Consumer may not rent, lease, lend, sell, transfer, redistribute or sublicense any Licensed Application and, if the Consumer sell or otherwise transfer the Consumer’s Mobile Device to a third party, the Consumer must remove each Licensed Application from the Mobile Device before doing so. The Consumer may not copy (except as expressly permitted by this license and the Third-Party Rules), decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify or create derivative works of any Licensed Application, any Updates (as defined below), or any part of any Licensed Application or Update (except as and only to the extent that any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by the licensing terms governing use of any open-sourced components included in the Licensed Applications). Any attempt to do so is a violation of our rights and the rights of our licensors. If the Consumer breaches this restriction, the Consumer may be subject to prosecution and damages.

The terms of this license will govern any Updates, unless such Update is accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that license will govern.

Consent to Use of Data

The Consumer acknowledges that, when the Consumer downloads, installs or uses any Licensed Application, we may collect and use (i) automatic means (including, for example, cookies and web beacons) to collect information about the Consumer’s Mobile Device and about the Consumer’s use of the Licensed Application; and (ii) technical data and related information that is gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support and other services to the Consumer (if any) related to the Licensed Application. We may use this information to improve our Services or to provide other products, services or technologies to the Consumer and as otherwise set forth in our Privacy Policy.

Termination

This license to use these Licensed Applications is effective until terminated either by the Consumer or us. The Consumer may terminate this license by deleting the Licensed Application and all copies of such Licensed Application from the Consumer’s Mobile Device(s). We may terminate this license at any time for any or no reason without notice. Additionally, this license will terminate automatically without notice from us if the Consumer fail to comply with any term of these Terms of Use. Upon termination of this license, the Consumer will cease all use of such Licensed Application and destroy all copies, full or partial, of such Licensed Application. Any termination of this license will not limit any of our rights or remedies available at law or in equity.

Updates

We may, from time to time, in our sole discretion develop and provide Licensed Application updates, which may include upgrades, bug fixes, patches and other error corrections or new features (collectively, including related documentation, “Updates”). Updates may also modify or delete in their entirety certain features and functionality. The Consumer agrees that we have no obligation to provide any Updates or to continue to provide or enable any particular features or functionality. Based on the Consumer’s Mobile Device settings, when the Consumer’s Mobile Device is connected to the Internet either:

the Licensed Application will automatically download and install all available Updates; or
the Consumer may receive notice of or be prompted to download and install available Updates.

The Consumer will promptly download and install all Updates. The Consumer hereby acknowledge and agree that the Licensed Application or portions of such Licensed Application may not properly operate should the Consumer fail to do so. The Consumer indemnify us from any loss of information, disruption of service, or other result that might be caused by the Consumer’s failure to timely download and install any Update.

Export Regulation

Our Services (including any Content and Licensed Application) may be subject to United States export control laws, including the US Export Administration Act and its associated rules, restrictions and regulations. The Consumer will not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export or release any of our Services (including any Content and Licensed Application) to, or make any of our Services (including any Content and Licensed Application) accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export or release is prohibited by law, rule or regulation. The Consumer will comply with all applicable laws, restrictions, regulations and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing or otherwise making any of our Services (including any Content and Licensed Application) available outside of the United States (which excludes all United States territories and possessions).

International Users

Our Services are controlled, operated and administered by us from our offices within the United States of America. We make no representations that our Services are permissible, appropriate or available for use in other jurisdictions.

We Make No Representations or Warranties Regarding Our Services or the Content

The Consumer expressly agrees that the Consumer’s use of our Services (including any Mobile Services and any Licensed Applications), the Content and all information, content, materials, products and services (for the avoidance of doubt, including all information related to healthcare providers (such as professional qualifications, reviews and ratings), insurance coverage or benefits, and pricing) is at the Consumer’s sole risk. It is the Consumer’s sole responsibility to independently evaluate the accuracy, correctness or completeness of our Services, the Content and all information, content, materials, products and services. Our Services (including any Mobile Services and any Licensed Applications), the Content and all information, content, materials, products and services included on or associates with our Services are provided to the Consumer on an “as-is” and “as available” basis.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Consumer acknowledges that we cannot guarantee the continuous operation of or access to our Services. The Consumer further acknowledges that operation of and access to our Services may be interfered with as a result of technical issues or numerous factors outside of our control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, we make no representation, warranty or guarantee that our Services or the Content that may be available for downloading from our Services is free of infection from any viruses, worms, Trojan horses, trap doors, back doors, Easter eggs, time bombs, cancelbots or other code or computer programming routines that contain contaminating or destructive properties or that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information. We will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by a distributed denial-of-service attack, viruses or other technologically harmful material that may infect the Consumer’s computer, device, data, programs or other equipment or material due to the Consumer’s use of our Services or items obtained through our Services or to the Consumer’s downloading of any material posted on our Services or any links to our Services.

The foregoing does not affect any warranties which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

Limitations on Our Liability

IN NO EVENT ARE WE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO THE CONSUMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER RESULTING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FROM BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY AND NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT INCLUDE DAMAGES FOR ANY PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, INJURIES TO PROPERTY AND LOSS OF PROFIT, REVENUE OR BUSINESS, AS A DIRECT OR INDIRECT RESULT OF: (I) THE CONSUMER’S BREACH OR VIOLATION OF ANY TERM OR CONDITION OF THESE TERMS OF USE; (II) THE CONSUMER’S ACCESS AND USE OF OUR SERVICES (INCLUDING ANY MOBILE SERVICES OR LICENSED APPLICATIONS), THE USER GENERATED CONTENT OR THE CONTENT; (III) THE CONSUMER’S DELAY IN ACCESSING OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE OUR SERVICES FOR ANY REASON; (IV) THE CONSUMER’S DOWNLOADING OR USE OF ANY OF THE CONTENT, THE COLLECTIVE WORK OR USER GENERATED CONTENT; (V) THE CONSUMER’S RELIANCE UPON OR USE OF OUR SERVICES, THE USER GENERATED CONTENT, THE CONTENT OR THE COLLECTIVE WORK; (VI) ANY TRANSACTION OR PROCESSING OF A TRANSACTION; (VII) ANY THIRD PARTY’S USE OF OUR SERVICES ON THE CONSUMER’S BEHALF; (VIII) THE BREACH OF OUR SECURITY AND UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF CONSUMER INFORMATION; OR (IX) ANY INFORMATION (INCLUDING ANY HEALTHCARE PROVIDER INFORMATION), REVIEWS, RATINGS, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OBTAINED ON OR THROUGH OUR SERVICES, OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OUR SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, EVEN IF WE OR OUR AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, LICENSORS, VENDORS, SUPPLIERS OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE THIRD PARTY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED BY US IN WRITING AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE OR OTHERWISE, OUR LIABILITY AND THE LIABILITY OF OUR AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, REPRESENTATIVES AND AGENTS ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OF USE WILL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY THE CONSUMER TO US FOR OUR SERVICES IN THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE APPLICABLE CLAIM; OR (B) $10.

THE CONSUMER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR USER GENERATED CONTENT OR THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY (INCLUDING ANY HEALTHCARE PROVIDER), AND THAT THE RISK OF HARM OR DAMAGE FROM SUCH USER GENERATED CONTENT AND THIRD-PARTY CONDUCT RESTS ENTIRELY WITH THE CONSUMER.

THE CONSUMER AND WE AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO OUR SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN THREE MONTHS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Certain state laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these state laws apply to the Consumer, some portion of or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions or limitations may not apply to the Consumer. However, the Consumer agrees that such disclaimers, exclusions or limitations shall apply to the Consumer to the greatest extent allowable under applicable law.

In the event that any limitation on the period of time for bringing an action, claim, dispute or proceeding against us, located in this Limitations on Our Liability section, is determined or held to be inapplicable or unenforceable by any court, arbitration panel or other tribunal, then the statute of limitations for the State of Florida, including Florida Statutes Section 95, will apply to any such action, claim, dispute or proceeding referred to final or binding arbitration.

The Consumer’s Indemnification of Us

The Consumer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, business partners, licensors, agents and representatives from and against all claims, costs, damages, liabilities, expenses, fines and penalties, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or attributable to: (i) any breach or violation of these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy; (ii) the Consumer’s failure to provide accurate, complete and current Consumer Information requested or required by us; (iii) the Consumer’s access or use of our Services or the Content; (iv) access or use of our Services under any password that may be issued to the Consumer; (v) the Consumer’s transmissions, submissions or postings (for example, the Consumer’s own User Generated Content); (vi) any personal injury, property damage or emotional distress caused by the Consumer; or (vii) the creation, use, receipt, storage or transmission of protected health information, including any protected health information under (A) the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and regulations promulgated thereunder ( as may be amended from time to time); (B) the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, Public Law 111-5, and regulations promulgated thereunder (as may be amended from time to time); (C) the Florida Information Protection Act of 2014, Florida Statutes Section 501.171, and regulations promulgated thereunder (as may be amended from time to time); (D) state privacy laws; or (E) any other foreign or domestic, federal, state or local law or regulation.

The Consumer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, business partners, licensors, agents and representatives from and against all claims, costs, damages, liabilities, expenses, fines and penalties, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or attributable to: (i) any advice transmitted pursuant to a relationship created or furthered as a result of the Consumer’s use of our various websites (including www.AHWA.com ), applications, widgets, email notifications, blogs, articles, and other mediums, or portions of such mediums; (ii) information transmitted or posted on any of our various websites (including www.AHWA.com ), applications, widgets, email notifications, blogs, articles, and other mediums, or portions of such mediums; (iii) content of any form transmitted pursuant to or posted via our various websites (including www.AHWA.com ), applications, widgets, email notifications, blogs, articles, and other mediums, or portions of such mediums.

Finally, the Consumer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, business partners, licensors, agents and representatives from and against all claims, costs, damages, liabilities, expenses, fines and penalties, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or attributable to: any information sought or gained as a result of the Consumer’s use of our Services. The Consumer expressly understands that we are not a medical provider, we do not treat, assess or diagnose the Consumer as a result of our Services. The Consumer expressly understands that we are merely a conduit between the Consumer and the healthcare community. We make no representations about the persons whom the Consumer select as a result of the Consumer’s use of our Services.

We will have the right, but not the obligation, to select legal counsel, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by the Consumer, to participate through counsel in any defense of any claim and to approve any settlement. The Consumer may not settle any claim without our prior written consent, which we may withhold in our sole discretion.

Our Remedies

The Consumer acknowledges that we may be irreparably damaged if these Terms of Use is not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of these Terms of Use by the Consumer, we will be entitled, in addition to all rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of these Terms of Use. For purposes of this Our Remedies section, the Consumer agrees that any action or proceeding with regard to such injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach will be brought in the courts of record of Orange County, Florida, or the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida. The Consumer consent to the jurisdiction of such court and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court. Service of any court paper may be effected on such party by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, regulations, rules of procedure or local rules.

Legal Disputes

The Consumer and we agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to or arising out of these Terms of Use or the Consumer’s use of or access to our Services will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Legal Disputes section. Please read this Legal Disputes section carefully. It affects the Consumer’s rights and will have a substantial impact on how claims the Consumer and we have against each other are resolved.

Applicable Law

These Terms of Use is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida, without regard for principles of conflicts of laws. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

The Consumer agrees that: (i) our Services will be deemed solely based in the State of Florida; and (ii) our Services will be deemed passive Services that do not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us and our assigns, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than the State of Florida.

Agreement to Arbitrate

Any civil action, claim, dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to this or any previous version of these Terms of Use, the Consumer’s use of or access to our Services or any products or services sold, offered or purchased on or through our Services, except for an injunctive action regarding a breach or threatened breach of any provision of these Terms of Use by the Consumer as provided above, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, before a single arbitrator, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms of Use to Arbitrate section (this “Agreement to Arbitrate”).

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, 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. An arbitrator should apply the terms of these Terms of Use as a court would.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Use to Arbitrate, any part of it, or of these Terms of Use, including any claim that all or any part of the Agreement to Arbitrate or these Terms of Use is void or voidable.

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in Orange County, Florida, under the AAA’s rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by these Terms of Use to Arbitrate. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s site at http://www.adr.org .

The Consumer and we will select the arbitrator, and if the Consumer and we are unable to reach agreement on selection of the arbitrator within 30 days after the notice of arbitration is served, then the AAA will select the arbitrator. Arbitration will not commence until the party requesting arbitration has deposited U.S. $1,000 with the arbitrator for the arbitrator’s fees and costs. The party requesting arbitration will advance such sums as are required from time to time by the arbitrator to pay the arbitrator’s fees and costs until the prevailing party is determined or the parties have agreed in writing to an alternate allocation of fees and costs.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving our other users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator is final, binding and conclusive upon the Consumer and us and the Consumer’s and our respective administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and may only be entered in the state or federal courts of record for Orange County, Florida.

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

THE CONSUMER AGREES THAT THE CONSUMER MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS PART OF ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH THE CONSUMER AND WE 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). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.

THEREFORE, THE CONSUMER DOES NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND THE CONSUMER’S RIGHTS AND THE CONSUMER GIVE UP THE CONSUMER’S RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. BY USING OUR SERVICES, THE CONSUMER CONSENT TO THESE RESTRICTIONS.

Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes

Unless the Consumer and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to the Consumer or to a particular claim or dispute as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between the Consumer and us must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Orange County, Florida. The Consumer and we will submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Orange County, Florida for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms of Use is contrary to, prohibited by or deemed invalid under applicable law, such provision will be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder of these Terms of Use will not be invalidated thereby and will be given full force and effect so far as possible. If any provision of these Terms of Use may be construed in two or more ways, one of which would render the provision invalid or otherwise voidable or unenforceable and another of which would render the provision valid and enforceable, such provision will have the meaning that renders it valid and enforceable.

For purposes of these Terms of Use, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and the word “or” is not exclusive. The headings contained in these Terms of Use are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of these Terms of Use, and will not limit or otherwise affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of these Terms of Use.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in these Terms of Use, as may be amended by us, from time to time, will survive the Consumer’s acceptance of these Terms of Use and the termination of these Terms of Use.

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or any power set forth in these Terms of Use by us will operate as a waiver of such right or power, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power under these Terms of Use by us preclude further exercise of that or any other right or power under these Terms of Use.

We may update, amend or change these Terms of Use at any time, in our sole discretion and without notice. Amendments will take effect immediately upon us posting such updates on our Services. We encourage the Consumer to periodically check these Terms of Use for changes, as the Consumer’s continued access and use of our Services following the posting of any changes will automatically be deemed the Consumer’s acceptance of all changes. If the Consumer does not agree to any change to these Terms of Use, the Consumer must discontinue using our Services. These Terms of Use replaces all previous notices or statements with respect to this subject, and cannot be modified orally or in writing by any of our associates, representatives or any other third parties.

We may give, assign or transfer our rights or obligations under these Terms of Use to any person or entity at any time with or without the Consumer’s consent. The Consumer may not give, assign or transfer the Consumer’s rights or obligations under these Terms of Use to any person or entity without our prior written consent, which may be withheld in our sole discretion. Any attempt to assign the Consumer’s rights or obligations under these Terms of Use without our consent will be void.

We will not be liable for any changes, delays, failures or problems out of our control, including any changes, delays, failures or problems caused by natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, network infrastructure failures, strikes, shortage of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials and other similar events.

The Consumer and we are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms of Use.

These Terms of Use (collectively, together with the Privacy Policy) represents the entire understanding and agreement between the Consumer and us regarding the subject matter of these Terms of Use, and supersede all other previous agreements, understandings or representations regarding these Terms of Use.

If the Consumer has questions, comments, concerns or feedback regarding these Terms of Use or our Services, please contact us at info@AHWA.com or in writing at:
