As a condition to my subscription to and my right to use WellnessFX Services defined below, WellnessFX and I agree as follows:
Access to WellnessFX Services. WellnessFX operates an online wellness service and manages a network system facilitating and enabling its subscribers ("Subscribers") to identify, engage, communicate with, and pay healthcare providers ("Health Advisors") to obtain laboratory diagnostic testing and medical advice regarding the results of such diagnostic tests and other wellness-oriented advice (the "WellnessFX Services"). The network system is a service intended to assist Subscribers by connecting them to Health Advisors, it is not a medical device and WellnessFX does not directly or indirectly practice medicine, nor does it dispense medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or any other medical service as part of the WellnessFX Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and my payment of the Services Fees (defined below), during the term of my subscription, WellnessFX grants me a non-sublicensable, non-transferable, non-exclusive subscription to access and use WellnessFX Services solely for my personal wellness, and not for resale or to provide services to third parties.
I agree that I will not, and will not attempt to: (a) interfere in any manner with the operation of WellnessFX Services, or the hardware and network used to operate WellnessFX Services; (b) sublicense or transfer any of my rights under this Agreement or otherwise use WellnessFX Services for the benefit of a third party or to operate a service bureau; (c) modify, copy or make derivative works based on any part of WellnessFX Services; (d) create Internet "links" to or from WellnessFX Services, or "frame" or "mirror" any of WellnessFX content which forms part of WellnessFX Services; or (e) otherwise use WellnessFX Services in any manner that exceeds the scope of use granted above. I agree to comply with the WellnessFX Services System Rules posted from time to time at www.WellnessFX.com or any web page accessed through that site.
I understand that there are risks presented by participating in using WellnessFX Services including receipt by me of information about my health (such as genetic or metabolic characteristics) that I would prefer not to know, and which may indicate conditions or problems that may be upsetting to me or even incurable, and I assume those risks.
Primary Care Physician. I represent and warrant that I am in good health, have had a recent health checkup, and have and will maintain a primary care physician, and I understand and agree that use of WellnessFX and Health Advisors is not a substitute for seeking the advice of my primary care physician or other qualified health care professionals. I agree that I will never delay seeking advice from my primary care physician or other health professionals due to information provided through WellnessFX or Health Advisors. I will seek emergency help when needed, and continue to consult with my primary care physician as recommended by Health Advisors and by my primary care physician.
Changes. WellnessFX Services, and the business, development and activities of WellnessFX, are subject to change during my subscription as determined from time to time by WellnessFX in its discretion. WellnessFX has no obligations to create or include additional features or functionality for WellnessFX Services or correct any errors. WellnessFX may modify the terms of this Agreement on at least 30 days notice, and if I do not accept such modified terms I agree that I may cancel my subscription, but if I do not cancel my subscription, I agree that I am bound to such modification.
Registration and Health Information. I have provided or will provide to WellnessFX personal information that may include my name, address, telephone number, fax number, email address, insurance information, and other information required by WellnessFX to register me as a Subscriber ("Registration Information"), and medical history, behavioral information, nutritional information and other health, family and personal background information ("Health Information"). Health Information that does not include any personally identifying information such as my name, the names of my health care providers and relatives, is my "De-Identified Information." I understand that I can update or revise my Registration Information and Health Information through a process available on WellnessFX website. I represent and warrant that (i) my Registration Information and Health Information will at all times be true, accurate and complete, and (ii) I am the person whose name and information I have provided and (iii) I am an adult 18 years of age or older residing in the United States.
Use of Services. Genetic, metabolic and other diagnostic testing by clinical laboratories ("Testing Laboratories") will be performed independent of WellnessFX Services and ordered by Subscribers in accordance with applicable state laws. I will submit samples to Testing Laboratories through a process established by Testing Laboratories and coordinated by WellnessFX from time to time, and I agree to execute waivers and authorizations that may be provided to me at the time my samples are collected. The samples I submit to Testing Laboratories may include blood, saliva, hair and other biological samples and are referred to as my "Laboratory Samples." I will not submit my Laboratory Samples directly to WellnessFX. I understand that diagnostic testing on my Laboratory Samples may be ordered by my Health Advisor at their discretion and the results will be received by my Health Advisor. Upon my execution of the proper consent and HIPAA Authorization, the results from such testing ("Testing Results") will also be sent to WellnessFX by Testing Laboratories to provide certain WellnessFX Services. I may also purchase other goods and services from third parties made available to me by WellnessFX ("Goods and Services").
Third Party Programs. I may subscribe for certain WellnessFX Services and Goods and Services through a program sponsored by a third party such as my employer, a group to which I belong or other third party. I understand that my subscription and participation through such program will be subject to the terms of such program, which may include provision to a third party administrator, your employer or other group information about me, including whether and to what extent I have participated. WellnessFX will not provide information regarding my health in a form that can be identified to me, without my specific approval through a click through or other “opt-in” mechanism.

I may in my discretion choose to provide written or verbal feedback, comments, or input to WellnessFX relating to current or future WellnessFX Services or other opportunities for WellnessFX ("Feedback"). I hereby assign to WellnessFX all right, title and interest in any Feedback, including any Intellectual Property Rights (defined below) therein.
Costs and Payments. I acknowledge and agree that I will be responsible for all applicable fees for WellnessFX Services and the Goods and Services I purchase (the fees for WellnessFX Services are the "Services Fees") and for any applicable cancelation fees for cancelation of appointments without the required advance notice. Services Fees are established and subject to modification by WellnessFX from time to time as determined by WellnessFX. I understand that WellnessFX will bill me for all Services Fees and for all Goods and Services, and I will pay such invoices when they are due. WellnessFX may bill me in advance and may provide WellnessFX Services and Goods and Services only after I pay my outstanding bills. I acknowledge that the Services Fees do not include and I will be fully responsible for all charges for goods and services provided by Health Advisors to be established by Health Advisors (“Other Fees”) which will be invoiced to me and paid through the network system managed by WellnessFX. WellnessFX may provide a single invoice for all WellnessFX, Health Advisors and Testing Laboratories services, and I understand that such fees are separate and collected by WellnessFX as an agent or conduit for such Health Advisors and Testing Laboratories. By providing my credit card account information for payment of Services Fees and Other Charges, I represent and warrant that the credit card for which I provide account information is my credit card and I authorize WellnessFX to charge to such credit card all applicable charges for the WellnessFX Services, services of Health Advisors, and Goods and Services I have ordered.

I understand and agree that WellnessFX will use My Information in accordance with the WellnessFX Privacy Policy located here as it may be modified by WellnessFX from time to time under the terms of that policy.
No Medical or Health Services. I understand that WellnessFX is not a Health Advisor or a Testing Laboratory, and WellnessFX does not provide medical, health or other professional services or advice, nor does WellnessFX itself perform any testing on my samples to provide Testing Results.
