XI. DISCLAIMER; LIMITED HEALTH CARE SERVICES

The Website is structured for use specific to certain Health Care Services and is not, and should not, be considered, or used as comprehensive medical advice, care, diagnosis or treatment.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding general personal health, medical conditions, or drugs or medications, and before commencing or discontinuing any course of treatment, drug or medication.


XII. TELEHEALTH CONSENT

I understand that Happy Trois separately engages telehealth companies, which are independently owned by licensed physicians (“telehealth partners”). Happy Trois does not own these medical practices, employ or in any way supervise or control the telehealth partners rendering care. Through its technology platform, Happy Trois facilitates the provision of telehealth services but it is not itself, a source of healthcare, medical advice, or care. This Consent is effective and binding across all telehealth sessions or services rendered by the telehealth partners via Happy Trois’s technology platform.

Telehealth or telemedicine (the terms will be used interchangeably throughout this Consent) involves the use of electronic communications, information technology, or other means to enable a healthcare provider and a patient at different locations to communicate and share individual patient health information for the purpose of rendering health care services. Telehealth or telemedicine may be used for assessment, treatment, diagnosis, prescription, follow-up, and/or patient education. This Consent informs you concerning the treatment methods, risks, and limitations of using a telehealth platform.

When you submit Your Information for Health Care Services, you agree to pay all fees due. You will see a prompt for your payment details, such as your credit card information and any promotional codes you may have. By entering your payment information and submitting your request, you authorize us, our affiliates, or our third-party payment processors to charge the amount due. If you receive a medical consultation, medical consult fees are not subject to or eligible for a refund. We cannot accept returns of prescription products for reuse or resale, and all sales are final.

You understand and agree that you are responsible for all fees due to receive the Services, including any fees charged by the medical providers and affiliated professional entities. Amounts collected by Happy Trois will include fees charged by medical providers for Health Care Services. In the event that your credit card expires or Happy Trois, our affiliates, or our third-party payment processors are unable to process your payment, you may receive notice for you to provide an alternative payment method. Happy Trois and/or the medical provider(s) have no obligation to provide any Services unless and until full payment has been received and/or verified.
