imaware User Agreement

Last Updated January 14, 2021

This User Agreement (this “Agreement”) sets out the terms on which imawaretm Inc. (“imaware,” “we,” or “us”) will provide access to and use of certain laboratory testing services and related services available on or through www.imaware.health (collectively, the “Services”) to you, a user of the Services (“you” or “User”).  You should read this Agreement carefully.  By indicating acceptance of this Agreement or by otherwise using the Services, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with us (and you hereby represent that you are of legal age in the jurisdiction you are ordering the test from, and are otherwise fully able and competent, to enter into a binding agreement).  If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, you must not use the Services.

THIS AGREEMENT CREATES A BINDING LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND IMAWARE, AND INCLUDES AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE UNDER WHICH CERTAIN CLAIMS MAY NOT BE BROUGHT IN COURT OR DECIDED BY A JURY. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.

1. About the Services

A. Services. imaware operates a wellness-focused online service that facilitates and enables its subscribers (“Subscribers”) to request laboratory testing and related services and wellness-oriented advice based on the test results. The Services are intended to assist Subscribers by providing insight into their respective risks of having certain under-diagnosed conditions and allowing them to take a more active role in their well-being. The Services also include COVID-19 diagnostic and antibody testing. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, during the term of the subscription, imaware will grant to Subscribers a non-sublicensable, non-transferable, non-exclusive subscription to access and use the Services, which is not for resale or to provide services to third parties. imaware will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide access to the Services described in, and subject to, this Agreement.  All testing will be ordered by a licensed health care provider (“Clinician”).  imaware may gather information from you related to the appropriateness of, and your eligibility for, requested laboratory testing offered as part of the Services through a series of questions about your health or other relevant factors (“Questionnaire”).  If a Clinician determines that a laboratory test is appropriate and orders the test, biological material (“Sample”) will be collected by or from you, and imaware will arrange for the Sample to be tested by a third-party, CLIA-certified laboratory (the “Test Laboratory”).  The Results will be shared with imaware pursuant to your consent, and imaware will share the Results with you, the ordering Clinician, and possibly public health authorities, as described in greater detail in imaware’s Informed Consent (“Informed Consent”), which you must execute in order to receive the testing.  Results may also be shared with other third parties such as your employer, but only if you permit such information sharing through a signed Authorization for Use and Disclosure of Protected Health Information (“Authorization”).

2. Eligibility AssessmentS

If you are not deemed eligible for certain laboratory testing provided through the Services, this does not suggest that you would not be eligible for testing or care administered by or through your own healthcare provider.  You should always seek the testing and care you believe is appropriate.

3. results

You understand and agree that (i) all information, data, documentation, reports, results, and other products of the Services (collectively, the “Results”) may be used by imaware for research, test validation, commercial, and educational purposes; provided, except as otherwise set forth in the Informed Consent and any Authorization you sign, your Results will remain confidential to you and imaware, and (ii) the Results are for informational purposes and not a clinical diagnosis or treatment decision.  You acknowledge and agree that imaware will not be held liable nor have any indemnifying obligations based on or related to false positive or false negative test results, as you hereby recognize that no laboratory test is inherently accurate in every instance, and accuracy of testing is further affected by numerous factors that are outside of imaware’s control.

4. Use of Questionnaires, Your Questionnaire Responses, and Test Results by You and any Third Party.

In some cases, third parties rely on the Services to implement and further their own laboratory testing and screening programs and policies (e.g., workplace wellness programs).  You acknowledge and agree that imaware has no role in, or control of, your or any third party’s use of the Questionnaire, your responses to the Questionnaire, or any other information provided or generated through the performance or use of the Services.  Further, imaware has no role in the development of any third-party’s policies or programs related to laboratory testing, including but not limited to testing or screening for COVID-19.  Such policies may include, but are not limited to, how frequently a Questionnaire is administered and to whom, whether any third-party should fund or supply testing based on the responses to the Questionnaire, who should be tested and under what circumstances, how/whether Questionnaire responses and test results will affect access to the worksite, or any other aspect of your or a third party’s use of the Services or the information provided or generated through the performance or use of the Services.

5. disclaimer

THE SERVICES ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PROVIDE MEDICAL OR HEALTH CARE ADVICE OR ADDRESS MEDICAL EMERGENCIES. ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF YOUR PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTH PROVIDER WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING YOUR HEALTH. NEVER DISREGARD PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE OR DELAY IN SEEKING IT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING YOU HAVE READ ON THIS SITE OR THE RESULTS. IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL YOUR DOCTOR OR 911 IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT RELY ON ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR COMMUNICATION THROUGH THE SERVICES FOR IMMEDIATE, URGENT MEDICAL NEEDS.

6. clinicians

You understand and agree that by using the Services, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with imaware. We partner with certain physicians, physician practices, or other clinical care providers to enable us to offer the Services, and you authorize us to share your personal and health information to access those providers to fulfill our obligations to you under this Agreement. Those providers delivering professional services through the Services are licensed to provide laboratory test ordering and review. You understand that information you send or receive via the Services may become part of a medical record established by those physicians or other affiliated professional entities and providers, but may not automatically become part of your separate medical records held by your primary care physician or other clinicians unless you request such records and provide them.  You are strongly encouraged to consult with a qualified health care professional for answers to your personal questions.

7. registrations

In order to use certain parts of the Services, you will be required to provide us demographic and contact information including, but not limited to, your first name, last name, gender, date of birth, email address, and telephone number, and to create a password and register with us.  In order to receive laboratory testing, you will be required to execute the Informed Consent and to provide one or more Samples.  We may also request additional information from you, including information related to your health.  You represent and warrant to us that you will provide us with accurate, current, and complete information.  You are responsible for your registration, and for all use of the Services using any User credentials or passwords issued to you or chosen by you. You will keep all such credentials and passwords confidential.

You agree that the arbitration shall be held in Harris County, Texas, unless the AAA or the arbitrator shall determine that venue in such city is unreasonably burdensome, in which case the AAA or the arbitrator shall select a venue that is not unreasonably burdensome to both you and us. You agree that, if the AAA shall be unavailable or decline to administer the arbitration, and the parties do not agree on a substitute, a substitute administrator or arbitrator shall be appointed by the court. The arbitrator may render early or summary disposition of some or all issues, after the parties have had a reasonable opportunity to make submissions on these issues. At imaware’s option, this provision shall not apply to claims of patent, trademark, or copyright infringement or misappropriation of trade secrets (collectively, “IP Claims”). With respect to any IP Claims that are not subject to arbitration under the above provision, you hereby consent to non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in any federal or state court located within the State of Texas, with respect to any suit, claim or cause of action arising from or relating to the Services or this Agreement, and you shall not bring any such suit, claim or cause of action except in a court located within the State of Texas.

You further agree that no claims of other parties may be consolidated with your or our claims in the arbitration without both your and our consent. YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, MASS, REPRESENTATIVE, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION AGAINST US.  If any part of this arbitration clause is later deemed invalid as a matter of law, then it shall be severed and the remaining portions of this section shall remain in effect, with the exception that if the preceding paragraph is deemed invalid, then this entire section shall be deemed invalid and the arbitration clause shall be void.

19. Force Majeure

imaware will not be liable for lost or destroyed Samples, delay or non-performance of any of its obligations hereunder, or its performance of the Services to the extent that such performance is prevented, prohibited or delayed, or such loss or destruction of Samples is caused, by any circumstance for reasons beyond its control including without limitation, labor disputes, fire, flood, natural disaster, war blockade, military operations, riot, civil commotion, plant breakdown, power outage, computer or other equipment failure or non-delivery or delays in delivery by any other suppliers of goods or services utilized in the performance of services under this Agreement, provided that imaware completes performance of the Services within a reasonable time after such circumstances are resolved.

You agree that the electronic text of this Agreement constitutes a writing and your assent to the terms and conditions hereof constitutes a “signing” for all purposes. As used herein and unless the intent is expressly otherwise in a specific instance, the terms “include,” “includes” or “including” shall not be limiting and “or” shall not be exclusive. Any section headings herein are for convenience only and do not form a part of, and will not be used in the interpretation of, the substantive provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall not be construed against imaware by virtue of its having drafted them.
