We do not control or interfere with the practice of medicine or mental health care by the Medical Groups or any Providers, each of whom is solely responsible for directing the medical care, mental health care, and/or treatment they provide to you. By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that BondMeds is not a healthcare provider and that by using the bondmeds.com, you are not entering into a doctor-patient or other health care provider-patient relationship with BondMeds. By using the Service, you may, however, be entering into a doctor-patient or other health care provider-patient relationship with the Medical Group and/or one or more Providers.

While you are not establishing a doctor-patient or other health care provider-patient relationship with BondMeds, by using the Service, you are establishing a direct customer relationship with BondMeds to use the Service, including the purchase of any non-prescription products or non-medical services sold directly to you by BondMeds via the Service. In connection with such relationship, you may provide to us, or cause to be provided to us on your behalf, personal information, including health information, that is subject to use by us in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Please refer to the “Privacy Policy” section and section below for additional information.
Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Site from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms of Use and to the other terms and policies referred to herein (including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy (each as defined below)) (collectively, the “Additional Terms”) at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of these Terms of Use or the “Last updated” date of such Additional Terms, as the case may be, and, except to the extent prohibited by mandatory applicable law, you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms of Use and the Additional Terms to stay informed of updates.

The Site is hosted in the United States. The information provided on the Site is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
The Site is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to use or register for the Site.
Requirements for Use
You must have compatible computing and/or mobile devices, access to the internet, and certain necessary software to use the Site. Fees and data charges may apply to your use of the Site and the Internet.
Your Relationship with BondMeds
BondMeds does not provide any medical services, including via the Site. The Services may include access to one or more professional medical organizations, such as OpenLoop Healthcare Partners, PC (“Medical Groups” or “Groups”) who provide healthcare services (the “Healthcare Services”) through the Site. These Groups employ or contract with licensed medical providers and other clinicians (“Providers”) who offer certain Healthcare Services via the Site. All Providers who deliver Healthcare Services through the Site are (1) independent practitioners contracted or employed with affiliated Medical Groups that coordinate with OpenLoop, and (2) solely responsible for the Healthcare Services you receive.
Accessing the Site does not create any patient-provider relationship. The Site is structured for use specific to certain Healthcare Services and are not, and should not, be considered, or used, as comprehensive medical advice, care, diagnosis, or treatment. In some cases, the Services may not be the most appropriate way for you to provide information to, communicate with, or seek medical care and treatment from a healthcare provider. For example, your Provider may determine that your diagnosis or treatment requires an in-person office visit or otherwise cannot be appropriately addressed through use of the Services. In such a case, you may be notified that you will be unable to use the Services for the particular issue for which you requested assistance, along with additional information regarding next steps. BONDMEDS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY ADVICE, COURSE OF TREATMENT, DIAGNOSIS OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION, SERVICES OR PRODUCTS THAT YOU MAY OBTAIN THROUGH THE PROVIDERS OR MEDICAL GROUPS.
To the extent the Services you seek require care by a licensed provider, all Healthcare Service consultations are provided by a Provider licensed in the state where you, the patient, are located, and are delivered via a secure platform that complies with the privacy and security standards established by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). Providers who provide Healthcare Services may provide diagnoses and prescribe medication, if clinically appropriate. Similarly, Providers may issue prescriptions both for controlled and non-controlled substances regulated by the federal Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”), encompassing both commercially available and compounded medications.
Independent Medical Judgment
BondMeds is not licensed to practice medicine and does not provide any healthcare service. BondMeds does not control or interfere with the provision of Healthcare Services provided by any Provider, which include medically trained clinicians and their affiliated Medical Groups, each of whom is independent from BondMeds and solely responsible for the healthcare service you receive. You understand and agree that BondMeds is not responsible for any Healthcare Service provided by a Provider or their Medical Group, including any personal injury or property damage. You further understand and agree that after reviewing your information, the Provider in their independent professional judgment, will determine whether to prescribe medication, other treatments, or, alternatively, recommend that you consult with alternative clinical resources.
Pharmacy Services
By accepting these Terms of Use, you additionally understand and agree that BondMeds is not acting as a pharmacy, nor does BondMeds control or interfere with any such services. By accepting these Terms of Use, you understand and agree that you may be entering into a relationship with a pharmacy, pharmacist, and/or pharmacy group or other such relationship with any one or more such third-party entities.
Subscription Products and Services
Certain products and services available for purchase through the Service require that you purchase the product and/or service on an automatically renewing subscription basis. For subscription-based products and services, your payment device will be automatically charged at regular intervals as described for that product or service during the checkout process until you cancel your subscription. Your first renewal may be charged early to prevent any discontinuity in treatment. Your subsequent shipments may be charged and shipped up to two (2) days early to accommodate holidays or for other operational reasons to support continuity of treatment. We and/or the Providers may, but are not required to, perform outreach to you from time to time via the Service to request updates to your information and to facilitate ongoing subscriptions. You may cancel a subscription at any time by contacting the Customer Help Center and directly requesting a cancellation, or by calling 1-325-261-6855 to cancel, or through your online account. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current subscription period. Your subscription will automatically renew for another subscription period unless you cancel at least two (2) days before the applicable renewal processing date of your subscription. We do not offer refunds for partially used subscription periods, although we may provide refunds on a case-by-case basis in our sole and absolute discretion. We may also offer you the ability to pause your subscription for a specified period of time. If you do not cancel before the end of the pause period, charging to your payment device will resume automatically. We may change our subscription plans and prices from time to time; however, we will provide you advance notice of any price changes or changes to your subscription plans. By signing up for the subscription services you authorize Us to save your payment information.
In order to simplify the user experience through the Service, you will only see and be required to pay a single “total” subscription price. If a subscription product you purchase required a consultation with a Provider, includes a prescription product that you fill through one of the Pharmacies and/or includes mental health services, then the total price you pay includes the amounts charged for use of the Service, as well as amounts charged by the Pharmacy for the prescription drug and the amount charged by the Medical Group for the services of the Provider, as applicable, which amounts are collected on behalf of and paid to the Pharmacies and Medical Groups, respectively.
F. REFUNDS
We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits for any Service or Product at our sole discretion or pursuant to a refund policy. If we issue a refund or credit in one instance, we are under no obligation to issue the same refund or credit in the future.
Prescription Products
Certain products available through the Platform require a valid prescription by a licensed healthcare provider. You will not be able to obtain a prescription product unless you have completed a consultation with one of the Providers, the Provider has determined the prescription product is appropriate for you and the Provider has written a prescription.
If a Provider determines a prescription product is appropriate for you and writes a prescription, you will receive information about your options for filling the prescription. Certain prescriptions can be filled through one of the Pharmacies by using the Platform or you may fill the prescription at any pharmacy of your choice as prompted during your use of the Service or by emailing your request to Customer Help Center. Prescriptions may also be transferred among the Pharmacies without notice. Not all prescriptions fulfilled by the Pharmacies use child-resistant packaging and your prescription product may not be dispensed in a child-resistant container.
Some prescriptions are not available through the Pharmacies or must be filled by a local pharmacy of your choice as prompted during your use of the Service, including prescriptions used for many common primary care conditions.
If you complete a consultation with a Provider and fill a prescription through one of the Pharmacies, the prescription product is shipped to you by the applicable Pharmacy and the costs associated with the prescription are included in the total charged to you by the Service as described in the “Subscription Products” section above. If you fill a prescription with a pharmacy other than the Pharmacies, the Service will send the prescription to your selected pharmacy, but you will be responsible for picking up or otherwise obtaining the prescription product and paying the pharmacy directly for the cost of the prescription product.
Prescription products available through the Platform are “Third-Party Goods and Services” as described in the Third-Party Goods and Services section of this Agreement.
Laboratory Products and Services
Certain laboratory products services available through the Platform, including at-home testing kits and services, require a valid prescription or order by a licensed healthcare provider. You will not be able to obtain such laboratory services unless you have completed a consultation with one of the Providers, the Provider has determined the laboratory product and/or service is appropriate for you and the Provider has prescribed or ordered the laboratory product and/or service.
Currently, laboratory products and services offered through the Platform can only be ordered and fulfilled through the Labs and are not available through local laboratories. If you receive laboratory products and/or services from a Lab through the Platform, the applicable testing materials are shipped to you by the applicable Lab, and the costs associated with the laboratory products and services are included in the total charged to you by the Service.
Limited Use and Availability
Our Service is currently only available to individuals who are located in states in which we offer the Service, are at least eighteen (18) years of age or older, or at least the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence, if higher than eighteen (18), and who have accepted this Agreement; provided, however, that individuals who are located in the states in which we offer the Service and are between the ages of 13 and 18 may use the Service for the sole purpose of obtaining a medical consultation for the treatment of acne using topical skincare products (to the extent available through the Service) if a parent or legal guardian provides consent to such use in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement and the Service. By visiting, accessing, registering with or using the Service, you are (a) representing and warranting to us that you are either (1) at least eighteen (18) years of age or older or at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence, if higher than eighteen (18), or (2) at least thirteen (13) years of age, have obtained consent from your parent or legal guardian to use the Service, and will use the Service for the sole purpose of obtaining a medical consultation for the treatment of acne; (b) if you are a parent or legal guardian providing consent for an individual minor who is under the age of eighteen (18) (or such higher age of majority under applicable state law), representing and warranting to us that you are the parent or legal guardian for such minor and have all legal power and authority to provide consent for the use of the Service by such minor; (c) representing and warranting to us that when you use the Service to consult with a Provider, you are located in the same state as the shipping address you provide in your account at the time that you conduct such consultation; (d) agreeing to comply with all applicable laws in visiting, accessing, registering with our using the service; and (e) agreeing that you will only use the Service for lawful purposes. Our Service is subject to state regulations and may change from time to time due to changes in applicable regulatory requirements.
Certain products available through the Service are subject to additional age restrictions, and not all products or services are available to all ages.
In some cases, the Service may not be the most appropriate way for you to provide information to, communicate with or seek medical and/or mental health care and treatment from a healthcare provider or mental health professional. For example, certain medical conditions may require an in-person procedure or a healthcare provider other than your Provider, or your Provider may determine that your diagnosis and/or treatment requires an in-person office visit or are otherwise not appropriately addressed through use of the Service. In such a case, you may receive notification that you will be unable to use the Service for the particular issue you submitted with additional information regarding next steps.
Consent to Use of Telehealth Services
Telehealth involves the delivery of health and mental health care services using electronic communications, information technology or other means between a healthcare provider or mental health professional and a patient who is not in the same physical location. While the provision of health and mental health care services using telehealth may offer certain potential benefits, there are also potential risks associated with the use of telehealth. Telehealth services are not a substitute for in-person 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 via the Service. You agree that BondMeds is a third-party beneficiary of the Patient Consent and has the right to enforce it against you.
Duty to Provide Information, Access, and Connectivity
You are responsible for providing and maintaining, at your own risk, option and expense, appropriate software and hardware capabilities (consistent with any technical, quality or other requirements described in the Service) to enable use of the Service, including but not limited to, a computer or mobile device with a video camera and Internet access. You are solely responsible for any fees, including Internet connection or mobile fees, that you incur when accessing the Service. You also have a duty to provide truthful, accurate and complete information in any forms or other communications you submit to or through the Service. We reserve the right to change the access configuration, including any software, hardware or other requirements of the Service at any time without prior notice.
Privacy Policy
BondMeds understands the importance of confidentiality and privacy regarding your personal information. Please see our Privacy Policy as well as Open Loop’s Privacy Policy for a description of how we may collect, use and disclose your personal information.
Electronic Communications
By accepting the Terms of Use, you agree and consent to BondMeds sending you disclosures, notices, messages, reports, and other communications electronically. It is your responsibility to monitor these communications. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that BondMeds sends to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including, but not limited to, that such communications be in writing. You should maintain copies of electronic communications from us by printing a paper copy or saving an electronic copy. You acknowledge and agree that you will not hold BondMeds or any BondMeds affiliate liable for any loss, injury, or claim of any kind resulting from your failure to read these communications or for your failure to comply with any treatment recommendations contained in these communications.
Access Rights and Prohibited Use
The Site is hosted in the United States. The information provided on the Site is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
The Site is intended for users who are at least 18 years old or are able to independently consent to the requested Healthcare Services in their jurisdiction. Persons under the age of 18 or who are otherwise not able to independently consent to the requested Healthcare Services in their jurisdiction are not permitted to use or register for the Site or Services.
Your Protected Health Information Or “PHI”
You understand and agree that the Site is intended to facilitate the Healthcare Services by assisting with or providing (a) the development and gathering of healthcare records and information with retention of the same for use in professional encounters and communications with Providers; (b) administrative support in connection with scheduling and payment for Healthcare Services; (c) administrative support in connection with coordinating fulfillment and payment for prescription medications ordered or prescribed by Providers performing Healthcare Services; and (d) telecommunications and technology support for using the Site as a means of direct access to Providers provided by Medical Groups for communication, consultations, assessments, and treatment by such Providers.
Although BondMeds is not a “Covered Entity” under HIPAA, you understand that BondMeds gathers unique information from you to enable a Provider to provide Healthcare Services for you, including applicable health information (such as your past and present health conditions, medications, and blood pressure), diagnostic tests, as applicable, and personal information (such as your name, location and demographic information) (collectively, “Your Information”). This information may be medical information that may be protected under applicable laws.
As such, you give your consent to BondMeds to send and disclose to the Medical Groups and their Providers Your Information so that you may receive Healthcare Services. Further, you consent to the delivery of Your Information to affiliated and unaffiliated pharmacies, laboratories, and other diagnostic testing companies as part of the coordination of desired fulfillment and payment for diagnostic testing, prescription medications, and medical services recommended as part of the Healthcare Services. One or more of the labs, pharmacies or Medical Groups may or may not be a “covered entity” or “business associate” under HIPAA, and BondMeds may in some cases be a “business associate” of a lab, pharmacy or Medical Group. While state-specific privacy laws may apply, HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with BondMeds, the Medical Groups, the Providers, the labs, or the pharmacies. To the extent BondMeds is deemed a “business associate” and solely in its role as a business associate, BondMeds may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to “protected health information” (“PHI”), as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to the labs, pharmacies, or Medical Groups. In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, “Protected Information”), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. Any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws, however, may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under our Privacy Policy. Protected Information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with HIPAA. The Medical Groups and Providers have adopted a Notice of Privacy Practices that describes how they use and disclose Protected Health Information. By accessing or using any part of the Service, you are acknowledging receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices from your Medical Group and Provider(s).
By using the Service, you further agree if HIPAA does apply to BondMeds, the Medical Groups, the Providers, the labs, or the pharmacies, any information that you submit to that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Group and Providers or prescription fulfillment by the pharmacies or laboratory services by the labs, is not considered Protected Information, and will be subject only to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information.

By entering your payment information and submitting your request, you authorize us, our affiliates, or our third-party payment processors to retain credit card information which will be kept on file to be used as a form of payment for fees incurred for co-pays, co-insurance, deductibles, late cancellations, missed appointments, returned checks, failed payments, past due account balances, fees associated with subsequent medical services, and/or Subscription Services (as defined below).
You understand and agree that you are responsible for all fees due to receive Services and Healthcare Services, including any fees charged by the Medical Groups, Provider(s), pharmacy(ies) and lab(s) that provide Healthcare Services to you in connection with the Services. Your payments to OpenLoop may include fees charged by the Medical Group(s), Provider(s) and pharmacy(ies) for Healthcare Services, which OpenLoop collects on their behalf. Any Healthcare Services not provided by a Provider, Medical Group, or the OpenLoop Health Pharmacy Network, or otherwise made available through the Services are not included in the payments collected by OpenLoop and you may be separately charged by the applicable health care organization(s) and/or provider(s) of such services. In the event that your credit card expires or OpenLoop, its affiliates, or its third-party payment processors are unable to process your payment, you may receive a request to provide an alternative payment method. OpenLoop and/or the Medical Group (s) and/or Provider(s) have no obligation to provide any Healthcare Services or pharmacy services unless and until full payment has been received and/or verified. You are responsible for keeping your payment information (such as credit card number and billing address) accurate and up to date at all times.

YOU ARE FULLY LIABLE FOR ALL CHARGES TO YOUR ACCOUNT, INCLUDING ANY UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES.
Payment Method and Taxes.
If you wish to purchase Services or Products on the Platform, payment may be made by credit card, debit card or any other such method as we, in our sole discretion, may introduce on the Platform from time to time (” Payment Method“). We reserve the right to accept or refuse any payment made in any form.

We reserve the right to cancel any order, any time and for any reason. If your Payment Method has already been charged and your order is canceled, you shall receive a credit to your Payment Method account in the amount of the charge. We will not be responsible (i) for any charges that your Payment Method issuer may apply to you as a result of our processing your order, (ii) if your Payment Method issuer refuses or fails to authorize payment by you, or (iii) for any delays or non-delivery of Services or Products that may arise due to any validation checks that may be carried out regarding your payment or identification.
You agree that authorization to charge your Payment Method remains in effect until you cancel it in writing, and you agree to notify us of any changes to your Payment Method. You certify that you are an authorized user of the Payment Method and will not dispute charges for the Products and Services that you have ordered.

Processing of payments is subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. By submitting the Payment Method Information, you grant us an irrevocable, unencumbered, world-wide, and perpetual right to provide the Payment Method Information to our Payment Processor.

OpenLoop Healthcare Partners

Suite 400
Des Moines, IA 50309
I understand that my health and wellness provider OpenLoop Healthcare Partners wishes me to have a telehealth consultation.
This means that through an interactive video connection, I will be able to consult with the above-named provider about my health and wellness concerns. My provider has explained to me how telehealth will be used to do such consultation and how else we will use telehealth to connect while working together, using the Healthie telehealth platform
I understand there are potential risks with this technology:
-
The video connection may not work or it may stop working during the consultation.
-
The video picture or information transmitted may not be clear enough to be useful for the consultation.
The benefits of a telehealth consultation are:
-
I do not need to travel to the consult location.
-
I have access to a specialist through this consultation.
I also understand other individuals may need to use the Healthie telehealth platform and that they will take reasonable steps to maintain confidentiality of the information obtained. I have read this document and understand the risk and benefits of the telehealth consultation and have had my questions regarding the procedure explained and I hereby consent to participate in telehealth sessions under the conditions described in this document.
Entire Agreement; Other.
These Terms of Use, with the Privacy Policy and any specific guidelines or rules that are separately posted for particular services or offers in the Site, contains the entire agreement between you and BondMeds regarding the use of the Site. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. This Agreement operates to the fullest extent permissible by law. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The failure of BondMeds to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You agree that your online account is non-transferable and all of your rights to your profile or contents within your account terminate upon your death. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and you may not make any representations or bind BondMeds in any manner.
This Agreement and any other agreements Bond Meds may post on the Service or that you and Bond Meds may execute from to time constitute the entire agreement between BondMeds and you in connection with your use of the Service and supersede any prior agreements between Bond Meds and you regarding use of the Service, including prior versions of this Agreement.
Assignment
You may not assign any of your rights under this Agreement, and any such attempt will be null and void. BondMeds may, in its sole discretion, assign or transfer, without further consent or notification, this Agreement or any or all of the contractual rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any affiliate of BondMeds, or to a third-party in the event that some or all of the business of BondMeds is transferred to such other third-party by way of merger, sale of its assets, or otherwise.
Binding Arbitration / Class Waiver
YOU AND WE EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL CLAIM, DISPUTE OR OTHER CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND US OR ANY OF THE BONDMEDS PARTIES, ANY MEDICAL GROUPS, PROVIDERS, LABS, OR PHARMACIES ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE HIMS & HERS PARTIES, THE PLATFORM, THE CONTENT OR THE SERVICE, OR ANY OTHER GOODS, SERVICES OR ADVERTISING BY BONDMEDS OR ANY OF THE BONDMEDS PARTIES, LABS, PHARMACIES, MEDICAL GROUPS, OR PROVIDERS, INCLUDING CONTROVERSIES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”), THAT IS NOT RESOLVED BY AN INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION CONFERENCE (AS DEFINED AND DESCRIBED BELOW), SHALL BE RESOLVED IN CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BEFORE ONE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATOR FROM THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”), RATHER THAN IN A COURT, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA’S CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES AND, IF THE ARBITRATOR DEEMS THEM APPLICABLE, THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (COLLECTIVELY, “RULES AND PROCEDURES”). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, “DISPUTE” WILL ALSO INCLUDE DISPUTES THAT AROSE OR INVOLVE FACTS OCCURING BEFORE THE EXISTENCE OF THIS OR ANY PRIOR VERSIONS OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS WELL AS CLAIMS THAT MAY ARISE AFTER THE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
In the event a Dispute arises between us, we are committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and we agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and we therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you will also participate in the conference.
The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to us that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to [email protected] or regular mail to our offices located at 18101 Collins Ave, 3406, Sunny Isles Beach, FL, 33160. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute. We will provide notice to your address on file. The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree.
If you and we are unable to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after the applicable Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, either party may commence arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, 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.
Payment of arbitration costs will be governed by the AAA’s fee schedule. Each party agrees to pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid attorneys’ fees and expenses.
The arbitration shall be conducted in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, except that, in the event Sunny Isles Beach, Florida is not within one hundred (100) miles of your residence, the arbitration may be conducted within one hundred (100) miles of your residence, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. These Terms and Conditions evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings.
For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at https://www.adr.org.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the Dispute arises from: (a) a violation of either party’s intellectual property rights in any manner; and/or (b) any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, unauthorized use or a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; then you and the applicable Hims & Hers Party agree that a party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court in San Francisco, California, and both parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts in connection with such proceedings. In addition to the foregoing, either you or we may assert an individual action in small claims court for Disputes that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration as long as such action remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
YOU AND WE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and we are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified otherwise herein. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED HEREIN, ALL DISPUTES SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. NO PARTY MAY BRING ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS PROCEEDING. THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED HEREIN. 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). If a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim or request for relief, then such claim or request for relief (and only that claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California, subject to the parties’ respective rights to appeal the decision. All other claims or requests for relief shall be arbitrated. The parties agree that any claims or requests for relief that are severed from an arbitration may not proceed in litigation and shall be stayed until all claims between the parties remaining in arbitration are finally resolved. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Francisco, California for purposes of resolving any claims or requests for relief severed from arbitration pursuant to this paragraph. This subsection does not prevent you or us from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and we agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual arbitrations of a substantially similar nature filed against us by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of one hundred (100) arbitrations per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than one hundred (100) arbitrations left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining arbitrations); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).
All parties agree that arbitrations are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event, act, omission, practice or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by us.
You and we agree to cooperate in good faith with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of arbitrations, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.
You can opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration agreement that require the arbitration of Disputes within thirty (30) days of the date that you first agree to any version of this Agreement that requires arbitration of disputes with BondMeds or any of the Bond Meds Parties, Medical Groups, Labs, or Pharmacies. To opt out, you must send your name, residence address, and email address together with a clear statement that you want to opt out of the requirement to arbitrate disputes with the applicable party to: Bond Meds, LLC. 18101 Collins Ave, #3406, Sunny Isles, Beach, FL. ATTN: Arbitration Opt-Out. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us or any other BondMeds Parties.
Before you commence arbitration of a Dispute, you must provide us with a written Notice of Dispute that includes your name, residence address, username (if applicable) and email address associated with your User account (if applicable), a detailed description of the Dispute, and the relief you seek. Before we commence arbitration of a Dispute against you, we will provide a written Notice of Dispute to you with a detailed description of the Dispute and the relief we seek. Any Notice of Dispute you send to us should be mailed to Bond Meds, LLC. 18101 Collins Ave, #3406, Sunny Isles, Beach, FL, ATTN: Dispute Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if we make any future material modification to any provisions of this Agreement that govern the arbitration or resolution of Disputes, such changes will not apply to any Dispute between you and us for which either party had previously provided a written Notice of Dispute to the other in accordance with this paragraph. Further, if we make any future material changes to the provisions of this Agreement that govern the arbitration or resolution of Disputes, you may reject such changes by sending a written notice of your rejection decision to us at Bond Meds, LLC. 18101 Collins Ave, #3406, Sunny Isles, Beach, FL, ATTN: Arbitration Opt-Out within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such modifications. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of these Terms and Conditions and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted the Terms and Conditions (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms and Conditions) remain in full force and effect. We will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of these Terms and Conditions.
Except as provided above, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Third Party Beneficiaries
Any use of third-party software provided in connection with the Service, or any Third-Party Goods and Services accessed or used in connection with the Service, will be governed by the applicable third party’s license or terms of use, if any, and if there is no such license or terms of use, by this Agreement.
