InovCares Connected Comprehensive Healthcare, LLC (“InovCares,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) contracts with health care professionals (individually the “Provider” and collectively the “Providers”) to assist them in the provision of online telehealth medical consultations and secure messaging between the Providers and their patients. (See Section 20 for supplemental terms applicable to Providers.) The professional medical services (which are provided by your Provider) and the non-clinical Site services (which are provided by InovCares) are collectively referred to in this Terms of Use as the “Services”. The terms “you” and “your” means you, your dependents if any, and any other person accessing your InovCares Account.
Your acceptance of, and compliance with these Terms of Use is a condition to your use of the Site and Services. By clicking “accept”, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and accept all terms and conditions contained within these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.

ACCORDINGLY, YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT (INCLUDING IN A CLASS ACTION PROCEEDING) to assert or defend your rights under these Terms of Use. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury and your claims cannot be brought as a class action. Please review the Section below entitled Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreementfor the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with InovCares.
You agree that information provided by you in connection with the Services and Site shall be governed by the InovCares Privacy Policy , which is hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement.
As an important note, there is no single provider of medical care called “InovCares”. Rather, InovCares offers an online communication platform for Providers and their patients to connect via the Site through the use of telecommunications technologies. The Site facilitates communication between patients and Providers.
InovCares does not provide medical advice or care. InovCares contracts with independent, physician-owned medical groups with a network of United States based Providers who provide clinical telehealth services. InovCares provides administrative and business support services to the medical group Providers. The Providers deliver clinical services via the InovCares platform to their patients. Providers are not contracted or employed by InovCares. The Providers, and not InovCares, are responsible for the quality and appropriateness of the care they render to you. InovCares does not provide any legal advice or representations in any way regarding any legal issues associated with advice, information, goods, or services offered by a Provider, including but not limited to any compliance obligations or steps necessary to comply with any state or federal laws and regulations.
The Providers are independent of InovCares and are merely using the Site as a way to communicate with you. Any information or advice received from a Provider comes from them alone, and not from InovCares. Your interactions with the Providers via the Site are not intended to take the place of your relationship with your regular health care practitioners or primary care physician. Neither InovCares, nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any third party who may promote the Site or Service or provide a link to the Service, shall be liable for any professional advice obtained from a Provider via the Site or Service, nor any information obtained on the Site. InovCares does not recommend or endorse any specific Providers, tests, physicians, medications, products, or procedures. You acknowledge that your reliance on any Providers or information delivered by the Providers via the Site or Service is solely at your own risk and you assume full responsibility for all risks associated herewith.
InovCares does not make any representations or warranties about the training or skill of any Providers who deliver services via the Site or Service. You will be provided with available Providers based solely on the information you submit to the Site. You are ultimately responsible for choosing your particular Provider.
The content of the Site and the Services, including without limitation, text, copy, audio, video, photographs, illustrations, graphics, and other visuals, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or recommendations of any kind by InovCares. You should always seek the advice of your qualified health care professionals with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your individual needs and any medical conditions. All information provided by InovCares, or in connection with any communications supported by InovCares, is intended to be for general information purposes only, and is in no way intended to create a provider-patient relationship as defined by state or federal law. While InovCares facilitates your selection of, and communications with, Providers, InovCares does not provide medical services, and the doctor-patient relationship is between you and the Provider you select.
The medical services, treatment, and care you receive may vary depending on the Provider you interact with. Please contact your Provider directly for any questions regarding your care or medical treatment.
InovCares’s Site and Services are not for medical emergencies or urgent situations. You should not disregard or delay to seek medical advice based on anything that appears or does not appear on the Site. If you believe you have an emergency, call 9-1-1 immediately.
You should seek emergency help or follow up care when recommended by a Provider or when otherwise needed. You should continue to consult with your primary provider and other healthcare professionals as recommended. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider concerning questions you have regarding a medical condition and before stopping, starting, or modifying any treatment or modification.
Telehealth involves the delivery of healthcare services using electronic communications, information technology or other means between a healthcare provider and a patient who are 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. The telehealth services are not a substitute for in-person health 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 by the Providers through the Site. You agree that InovCares is a third-party beneficiary of the Patient Consent and has the right to enforce it against you.
InovCares does not endorse any specific medication, pharmacy, or pharmacologic product. If a Provider prescribes a medication, he/she will limit supply based upon state regulations and will only prescribe a medication as determined in his/her own discretion and professional judgment. There is no guarantee a prescription will be written. Providers do not prescribe DEA controlled substances or scheduled medications, or certain other drugs which may be harmful because of their potential for abuse. Providers reserve the right to deny care for actual or potential misuse of the Services.
You agree that any prescriptions that you acquire from a Provider will be solely for your personal use. You agree to fully and carefully read all provided product information and labels and to contact a physician or pharmacist if you have any questions regarding the prescription. InovCares fully honors patient freedom of choice and, if you receive a prescription for a medication, you always have the option to instruct your Provider to transmit that prescription to the pharmacy of your choice.
InovCares is not an insurer. The Services are not insurance products, and the amounts you pay to InovCares are not insurance premiums. If you desire any type of health or other insurance, you will need to purchase such insurance separately.
InovCares operates subject to state and federal regulations, and the Services may not be available in your state. You represent that you are not a person barred from enrolling for or receiving the Services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions in which you may be located. Access to and use of the Site or the Services is limited exclusively to users located in States within the United States where the Services are available. Services are not available to users located outside the United States. Accessing the Site or Services from jurisdictions where content is illegal, or where we do not offer Services, is prohibited.
In the event a Service is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical error or error in pricing information received from a third party, we shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for the Services listed at the incorrect price. We shall have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit or debit card charged. If your credit or debit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, we will promptly issue a credit to your credit or debit card account in the amount of the charge.
You can purchase services and items on the Site. To simplify the user experience on the Site, you are able to pay for your purchases via the Site with InovCares serving as payment processing agent on your behalf. If you elect to purchase a service from your Provider, then the total price you pay includes the amount charged by your Provider for the service. We also charge a subscription fee for you to use and access the Site and its features via your user account. We collect the amounts charged by your Provider on your behalf and pass through to them the payment for their actual charges. Before making a purchase, you will see an itemized invoice listing the actual charges by your Provider for the services and us for the online membership fee.
Payment processing services for our Site are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to these Terms of Use or using our Services, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as they may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of InovCares enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide InovCares accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize InovCares to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.You and InovCares agree that the payment method you submit may be used automatically by InovCares or its payment processors for any of your responsibilities for payment. If a credit card account is being used for a transaction, InovCares may obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of the payment. If you enroll to make recurring payments automatically, all charges and fees will be billed to the payment method you designate during the setup process. You have the right to revoke this authorization by contacting InovCares via _______________ at least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled payment date. You understand and acknowledge that Services may be cancelled or withheld if you revoke this authorization, and that you are still responsible for all charges incurred by you or are otherwise owed to InovCares. This authorization will remain in full force and effect until revoked by you or InovCares. If you want to designate a different payment method or if there is a change in your payment method, you must change your information online. This may temporarily delay your ability to make online payments while we verify your new payment information.
You represent and warrant that if you are making online payments that (a) any credit card, debit card and bank account information you supply is true, correct, and complete, (b) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit/debit card company or bank, (c) you will pay the charges incurred by you in the amounts posted, including, without limitation, any applicable taxes, and (d) you are the person in whose name the card was issued and you are authorized to make a purchase or other transaction with the relevant credit card and credit card information. If InovCares is unable to secure funds from the payment method you provide for any reason, including insufficient funds in the payment method or insufficient or inaccurate information provided by you when submitting electronic payment, InovCares may undertake further collection action, including application of fees to the extent permitted by law. You acknowledge and agree that you will not dispute the charges from InovCares with the payment method company, provided the transactions correspond to the terms indicated in these Terms of Use.

As set forth more fully below, Provider is solely responsible for all agreements, consents, notices, and other interactions with patients and other consumers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Provider is solely responsible for all billings and collections from patients and other consumers, and InovCares shall have no liability whatsoever to Provider with respect to any amounts owed by any patient or other consumer to Provider.
InovCares does not provide any medical advice, legal advice, or representations in any way regarding any legal or medical issues associated with Provider, goods, or services offered by Provider, including but not limited to any compliance obligations or steps necessary to comply with any state or federal laws and regulations. Provider should seek legal counsel regarding any legal and compliance issues, and should not rely on any materials or content associated with the Services in determining Provider’s compliance obligations under law. Provider and InovCares agree that InovCares is not providing to customers, patients, or anyone else, medical advice or legal advice. THE INOVCARES SITE AND THE SERVICES ARE NOT MEANT TO SUBSTITUTE OR MODIFY YOUR PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT IN ANY WAY.
Provider will use the Site and Services only in accordance with applicable standards of good medical practice. While software products such as the Site and Services can facilitate and improve the quality of service that Provider can offer patients, many factors, including but not limited to the provider/patient relationship can affect a patient outcome, and with intricate and interdependent technologies and complex decision-making it is often difficult or impossible to accurately determine what the factors were and in what proportion they affected an outcome. Provider shall be solely responsible for its use of the Site and Services, and the provision of medical services to Provider’s patients. In this regard, Provider releases InovCares and waives any and all potential claims against InovCares as a result of Provider’s use of the Site and Services, and the provision of services to Provider’s patients.
As a result of the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the patient care process, Provider agrees to defend, indemnify and hold InovCares harmless from any claim by or on behalf of any patient of Provider, or by or on behalf of any other third party or person claiming damage by virtue of a familial or financial relationship with such a patient, which is brought against InovCares, regardless of the cause if such claim arises for any reason whatsoever, out of Provider’s use or operation of the Site and Services. To the extent applicable, Provider will obtain InovCares’s prior written consent to any settlement or judgment in which Provider agrees to any finding of fault of InovCares or defect in the Site or Services. InovCares will promptly notify Provider in writing of any claim subject to this indemnification, promptly provide Provider with the information reasonably required for the defense of the same, and grant to Provider exclusive control over its defense and settlement.
If you submit, upload, transmit, or post any consents, notices, advice, recommendations, comments, files, videos, images, or other materials to us or our Site (“Provider Content”) or provide any Provider Content to patients or other consumers, you agree not to provide any Provider Content that (a) is defamatory, abusive, libelous, unlawful, obscene, threatening, harassing, fraudulent, pornographic, or harmful, or that could encourage criminal or unethical behavior, (b) violates or infringes the privacy, copyright, trademark, trade dress, trade secrets, or intellectual property rights of any person or entity, or (c) contains or transmits a virus or any other harmful component. Provider is solely responsible for obtaining all necessary agreements and consents from, and providing all required notices to, patients and other consumers. You agree not to contact other users through unsolicited e-mail, telephone calls, mailings, or any other method of communication. You represent and warrant to InovCares that you have the legal right and authorization to upload all Provider Content at the Site. InovCares shall have a royalty-free, irrevocable, transferable right and license to use the Provider Content however InovCares desires, including without limitation, to copy, modify, delete in its entirety, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from or sell or distribute such Provider Content or incorporate such Provider Content into any form, medium, or technology throughout the world. InovCares is and shall be under no obligation: (i) to maintain any Provider Content in confidence; (ii) to pay to you any compensation for any Provider Content; or (iii) to respond to any Provider Content.
InovCares does not regularly review Provider Content, but does reserve the right (but not the obligation) to monitor and edit or remove any Provider Content submitted to the Site. You grant InovCares the right to use the name that you submit in connection with any Provider Content. You agree not to use a false email address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of any Provider Content. You are and shall remain solely responsible for the content of any Provider Content you post to the Site or provide to patients or other consumers. InovCares and its affiliates take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Provider Content submitted by you or any third party.
We will try to work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with the Site, including without limitation, Services ordered or purchased through the Site, if you bring that issue to the attention of our customer service department. However, we realize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to a customer’s satisfaction.
You and InovCares agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use or your use of the Site, including without limitation, Services ordered or purchased through the Site, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than bringing a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in court, however, we agree to cooperate with each other to agree to reasonable discovery in light of the issues involved and amount of the claim. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, but in so doing, the arbitrator shall apply substantive law regarding damages as if the matter had been brought in court, including without limitation, the law on punitive damages as applied by the United States Supreme Court. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and InovCares are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and any other contractual relationship between you and InovCares.
If you desire to assert a claim against InovCares, and you therefore elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to InovCares, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (“Notice”). The Notice to InovCares should be addressed to: InovCares Connected Comprehensive Healthcare, LLC, 6401 Northam Road, Temple Hills, MD 20748 (“Notice Address”). If InovCares desires to assert a claim against you and therefore elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. A Notice, whether sent by you or by InovCares, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If InovCares and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or InovCares may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by InovCares or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after InovCares receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US $2,000.
The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by requesting them from us by writing to us at the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms of Use. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope and enforceability of these Terms of Use, including, but not limited to, this arbitration agreement. Unless InovCares and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Prince George’s County, MD. (If you reside outside of the United States, any arbitration hearings will take place in your country of residence at a location reasonably convenient to you, but will remain subject to the AAA Rules including, but not limited to, the AAA rules regarding the selection of an arbitrator). If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree 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 US $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. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of InovCares’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if InovCares did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then InovCares will pay you the amount of the award or US $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for payment or recovery attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
YOU AND INOVCARES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and InovCares agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
If the arbitration terms and conditions of this Section 21 are found to be unenforceable, then (i) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect, and (ii) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts located in and for Prince George’s County, MD.
We will not be deemed to be in breach of these terms or liable for any breach of these terms or our privacy policy due to any event or occurrence beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, terrorism, war, invasion, failures of any public networks, electrical shortages, earthquakes or floods, civil disorder, strikes, fire, or other disaster.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless InovCares and any affiliates from and against any and all rights, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, claims, causes of action, actions, and suits (no matter whether at law or equity), fees, costs, and attorney,s fees of any kind whatsoever arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with: (i) your use or misuse of the Site, Services or any information posted on the Site; (ii) your breach of the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy; (iii) the content or subject matter of any information you provide to InovCare or your Provider, or customer service agent; or (iv) any negligent or wrongful act or omission by you in your use or misuse of the Site, Services, or any information on the Site, including without limitation, infringement of third party intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or negligent or wrongful conduct.
