Terms of Service

Acceptance

Hale Health, Inc. (“Hale”) develops, operates and distributes certain software applications ("Apps"), which include web apps, hosted applications and applications for mobile devices. The Apps, together with the services for communications, coordination and management by patients and healthcare professionals regarding medical conditions, and the data collection, storage, analysis and reporting tools, functions and services, that are provided via the Apps, are collectively referred to as the "Service".

The Service is offered and provided subject to acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions contained herein ("Terms of Service" or "Agreement"). The Terms of Service shall be deemed to include all other operating rules, conditions, policies and procedures that are referred to herein or that may otherwise be published by Hale, from time to time, on their website (the "Site") or via any App (collectively, "Policies"), including without limitation, the Privacy Policy.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, OR IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE OR AUTHORIZED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THEN DO NOT REGISTER FOR, DOWNLOAD, ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE. DOWNLOADING ANY APP, COMPLETING OUR REGISTRATION PROCESS OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING ALL OR ANY PART OF THE SERVICE WILL CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE OF, AND CREATE A LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE CONTRACT UNDER WHICH YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, ALL OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, WITHOUT MODIFICATION.

Updates

Hale reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to update, modify or replace the Terms of Service (including any Policy), in whole or in part, at any time. Hale will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any material change in advance of the effective date of any change. Change notices may be communicated by postings at Hale’s website, via the Apps, e-mail or otherwise. In any case, you should periodically check the Policies and other Terms of Service for changes. Continued access or use of the Service following any change to the Terms of Service constitutes your acceptance of those changes. The Terms of Service may not otherwise be amended, as they apply to you, except by a written agreement executed by you and Hale.

Hale may modify, suspend or terminate the Service (including without limitation, any App), in whole or in part, at any time.

Eligibility

The Service is intended by Hale to be made available only to individuals who (a) are at least 18 years old, or are at least 13 years old and who have the express permission of their parent or guardian and (b) are either a Clinician or Patient who has been specifically identified for onboarding and use of the Service by a Clinical Partner. As used in the Terms of Service: "Clinical Partners" are hospitals, clinics, practices or other medical groups or healthcare systems that have contracted with Hale to permit use of the Service by their respective Clinicians and Patients; "Clinicians" are practitioners, patient advocates or other individuals who (as employees of or contractors to a Clinical Partner) provide healthcare services to Patients; and "Patients" are individual patients of the Clinical Partner who receive medical treatments or other healthcare services from one or more Clinicians.

If you do not qualify, then you are prohibited from downloading, accessing, using and registering for the Service.

The Clinical Partner, not Hale, is solely responsible for establishing the criteria and determining which of its clinicians and patients will be (and continue to be) eligible to use the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, the Clinical Partner is solely responsible for determining whether the Service will be (and continues to be) clinically appropriate and safe for each Patient. Hale will comply with any instruction from a Clinical Partner to discontinue offering the Service to any of its Clinicians or Patients. In addition, Hale may refuse to offer or continue offering the Service to any person and may change its eligibility criteria from time to time.

Terms Applicable only to Clinical Partners

The terms in this Section (as well as the Section Terms Applicable to All Users) apply to your use of the Service if you are accessing the Service as a Clinical Partner.

Fees and Payment Obligations

Payment Terms: For Clinical Partners that purchase paid subscription plans, fees are specified at check-out and must be paid in advance. Payment obligations are non-cancelable and, except as expressly stated in the contract between Hale and Clinical Partner, fees paid are non-refundable. For clarity, in the event Clinical Partner downgrades any subscriptions from a paid plan to a free plan, Clinical Partner will remain responsible for any unpaid fees under the paid plan, and Services under the paid plan will be deemed fully performed and delivered upon expiration of the initial paid plan subscription term. Fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Clinical Partner will be responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases, except for those taxes based on our net income. Patients and Clinicians are responsible for procuring all equipment and services needed to connect to the Service (such as, for example, mobile devices, computers, Internet services and cellular data services).

Trial Periods: If a trial period is made available to Clinical Partner, Clinical Partner may use the services associated with their plan subscription at no cost for the duration of the trial period. At the end of the trial period, Clinical Partner subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan subscription and Clinical Partner will be responsible for all fees associated with their first billing period. If Clinical Partner does not wish to continue with a paid plan, they must downgrade to a free plan prior to the end of the trial period.

Changing Plans: Clinical Partner can choose to change their plan subscription at any point. If upgrading to a higher subscription plan tier, Clinical Partner will be switched to the new subscription plan immediately and will be responsible for any increased fees associated with access to the new paid plan. Any remaining credit from Clinical Partner’s current billing cycle will be automatically applied to the new plan subscription. If downgrading,Clinical Partner subscription will remain active at its current level through the end of the billing period – at which point Clinical Partner will automatically be switched to the new plan.

Downgrade for Non-Payment: If any fees owed to Hale by ClinicalPartner (excluding amounts disputed reasonably and in good faith) are overdue, may, without limiting our other rights and remedies, downgrade any paid plans to free plans until those amounts are paid in full. Clinical Partner acknowledges and agrees that a downgrade will result in a decrease in certain features and functionality and potential loss of access to Clinical Partner Data.

Payment Processing

Payment processing services for clinical teams on Hale Health 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 or continuing to operate as a clinical team on Hale Health, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of Hale Health enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide Hale Health accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize Hale Health to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.
