PLEASE REVIEW SECTION 10 CLOSELY, AS IT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROCESS FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES INSTEAD OF USING THE COURT PROCESS.

This Terms of Services forms a legal agreement (“TOS Agreement”) between HomeDoc Technologies, Inc. d/b/a Oxygen, a Delaware corporation (“Us”, “We”, or “Oxygen”), and You (“You”, “Your”, “Yourself”, or “Customer”) concerning Your access to and use of various services offered through (i) our website (here https://www.oxygen.healthcare/) (“Website”) and (ii) various web-based and mobile applications that require You to create an account in order to use any of our services (collectively, “Platforms”).

Your use of the Platforms constitutes Your acceptance of and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this TOS Agreement.

1) Oxygen Software Services.

This agreement provides Customer with access to and the right to use the Platforms as set forth in this TOS Agreement. The Platforms make certain health (including telehealth) care services to You. Before using the Platforms, You will need to register an account and create your personal login information. Because Your account might contain personally identifiable information (“PII”) and/or personal health information (“PHI”), which You should protect, You will need to safeguard Your user ID, password, and other log-on/log-in information and maintain them in a secure location that is inaccessible to anyone else. Do not share them with anyone unless You are certain You want that person to have access to Your PII or PHI. In the event that You suspect or know that Your user account has been used without Your permission, or if You know of any other breach of security, You agree to immediately notify Oxygen via email at privacy@oxygen.healthcare.

You understand and agree that use of the Platforms is also governed by Oxygen’s Privacy Policy (here https://www.oxygen.healthcare/privacy-policy/), as it may be modified from time to time at Oxygen’s sole discretion. If Customer is a Covered Entity, as that term is defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), then You understand and agree that Your use of the Platforms is also governed by Oxygen’s Business Associate Agreement (here https://www.oxygen.healthcare/business-associate-agreement/).

By using the Website and/or the Platforms, You expressly agree to these Terms and Conditions. If You do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, You should immediately cease all use of and access to the Platforms.

Oxygen may, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to You, revise this TOS Agreement at any time. Amended material terms will be added to the Platforms. Each time You access the Platforms, You will need to acknowledge Your agreement to the amended terms as a condition of continuing to use the Platforms. If You do not agree to the terms of the amended TOS Agreement, Your only remedy is to discontinue Your use of the Platforms, resulting in the termination of this TOS Agreement.
