The Telemedicine Consultation Services are delivered virtually (as opposed to in-person), which may limit the scope and nature of the assistance provided to you. You hereby acknowledge these limitations and agree to proceed with the Telemedicine Consultation Services. You understand that the Telemedicine Consultation Services will be provided to you at the sole discretion of the Provider who is interacting with you, with no guarantee of diagnosis, treatment, or prescription.

Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. is not a medical group, and it does not provide, nor is it responsible, for any healthcare services that are provided to you.

If you do not agree to be bound by those terms, you are not authorized to access or use Telemedicine Consultation Services. You acknowledge and agree that not every condition is appropriate for treatment via telemedicine.

As with any service, there are potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine or other forms of telehealth services, which may include, without limitation, the following: (a) delays in medical evaluation and consultation or treatment may occur due to deficiencies or failures of the telehealth technology, or miscommunications between you and the Provider; (b) security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information; and (c) lack of access to your medical records or other information or ability to perform an in-person examination, which could result in negative health outcomes (e.g., adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions).

You certify that you are physically located in the state you select in the Services as your current location at the time of your receipt of the Telemedicine Consultation Services. Your ability to access and use the Telemedicine Consultation Services is conditioned on the truthfulness of this certification. The Providers that you access through the Service rely upon this certification in order to interact with you. If your certification is inaccurate, you agree to indemnify us and the Providers with whom you interact from any resulting losses, damages, costs, or expenses.

Pharmacy: You have a right to select any pharmacy of your choice to fill prescriptions obtained through our service.

If the Payment Method cannot be verified, is invalid, or is otherwise not acceptable, your Purchase may be suspended or canceled. You must resolve any payment method problems before we proceed with your Purchase. If a payment is not successfully settled and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your Purchase or Account, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated.

From time to time, to the extent legally permitted, we may offer discounts and/or free trials of certain subscriptions for specified periods of time. If we offer you a discount or free trial, the specific terms will be provided in the marketing materials describing the particular trial or at registration.

Once your discount or free trial ends, we (or our third-party payment processor) will begin billing your designated payment method on a recurring basis for your full subscription price (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) for as long as your subscription continues, unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of your free trial. Instructions for canceling your subscription are described above. Please note that you will not receive a notice from us that your free trial has ended or that the paid portion of your subscription has begun. We reserve the right to modify or terminate free trials at any time, without notice, and at our sole discretion.

You agree that authorizations to charge your Payment Method remain in effect until you cancel it in writing, and you agree to notify us of any changes to your Payment Method. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the Payment Method and will not dispute charges for the Service that correspond to consultation fees or the co-payment required by your health plan. You acknowledge that the origination of Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) transactions to your account must comply with applicable provisions of U.S. law. In the case of an ACH transaction rejected for insufficient funds, we may at our discretion attempt to process the charge again at any time within 30 days.

We will collect applicable sales tax on services for which we determine we have a duty to collect sales tax. If a service is subject to sales tax, you agree that the amount of taxes shown at checkout may be adjusted. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates.
You acknowledge and agree that fees for consultations may increase at any time.

Consent: By clicking “I accept” or by accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge and accept the risks identified above and the terms associated with the receipt of Telemedicine Consultation Services and you give your informed consent to receive such services under the Terms and the Additional Terms.

Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands, or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. agree (a) to waive your and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC.’s respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms, or the Services or Content, resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC.’s respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).

​

16.2. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions, or Representative Actions

You and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the Services, or Content is personal to you and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.

​

16.3. Federal Arbitration Act

You and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 16 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

​

16.4. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution

You and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. shall be sent by certified mail or courier to Attn: Legal Dept, Diedrich Counseling Services, INC., P.O. BOX 20855, Greenfield, WI 53220. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your Account and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking.

​

16.5. Process

Except for Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents, you and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed by you or Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. within one (1) year of the date the Dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute). You and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. agree that (a) any arbitration will occur (i) in the State of Wisconsin, County of Milwaukee, (ii) in the county where you reside, or (iii) telephonically, (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, as modified by the terms set forth herein (“AAA Rules”), which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (c) that the seat of the arbitration shall be Milwaukee, Wisconsin and that state or federal courts of the State of Wisconsin and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of Wisconsin, County of Milwaukee, have exclusive jurisdiction over any litigation in aid of arbitration and the enforcement of any arbitration awards.

The parties shall attempt to agree on the single arbitrator to be appointed to resolve the dispute. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement within 30 days after commencement of the arbitration with the AAA, the arbitrator selection process identified in the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules shall apply. You may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court. Each party shall be responsible for its costs incurred in such arbitration, but the arbitrator shall not have the authority to re-allocate those costs in an award or otherwise. If you cannot afford to pay for the arbitration, you agree to provide us the option of paying the arbitrator before seeking to initiate any other form of dispute resolution, including litigation. As part of the arbitration, both you and Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. will have the opportunity to reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant and material to the Dispute, including the ability to request from each other, and third parties, documents, information and testimony that is relevant and material to the Dispute.

​

16.6. Authority of Arbitrator

As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

​

16.7. AAA Rules

The AAA Rules and additional information about the AAA are available on the AAA website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the AAA Rules, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the AAA Rules and any claim that the AAA Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

​

16.8. Severability

If these Apple Terms conflict with any other provision of these Terms, then the Apple Terms control with respect to access and use of the Digital Services via an Apple Device. Apple is not a party to these Terms and does not own and is not responsible for any App you access via your Apple Device (“iOS App”) and the content thereof.

Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to any iOS App. In the event of any failure of the iOS App to conform to any applicable warranty provided by Diedrich Counseling Services, INC. in these Terms, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price for the iOS App (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the iOS App and will not be responsible for any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty. Apple is not responsible for addressing your or any third-party claims relating to an iOS App and/or use of an iOS App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that an iOS App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. It is not the intent of these Terms to limit Diedrich Counseling Services, INC.’s liability beyond what is permitted by applicable law. In the event of any third-party claim that an iOS App or your possession and use (in accordance with these Terms) of an iOS App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Apple will not be responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim. In addition to the requirements of Section 3, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with respect to any iOS App, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple has the right (and deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the Terms against you with respect to the iOS App as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
