Amaze PBC, dba Amaze Health (a Delaware public benefit corporation) (“Amaze Health”), on its own behalf and Amaze Professional Medical Services, PC (a Colorado professional corporation) (“Amaze Medical”) (collectively “Amaze”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operate websites located at amazehealth.com and learn.amazehealth.com, as well as an application for Registered Users that is available via browser at app.AmazePBC.com, and a mobile application available for iPhone and Android devices. The websites and applications link to these Terms and Conditions (collectively, the “Site”). Through the Site, we offer healthcare empowerment training, education and support services, and telehealth services, including medical and mental health care (“Healthcare Services”) provided by licensed medical providers (“Healthcare Practitioners”), through integrated technology solutions and applications (collectively “Services”) to eligible individuals and their immediate family members (“Registered Users”). To avoid any confusion, “immediate family members” means spouse or legal domestic partner; and children (up to the age of 26). The Site also has public portions that allow anyone (“Visitors”) to educate themselves on the available Services. Registered Users and Visitors are collectively referred to as “you” or “user.” The Site also features message boards and other public forums (“Forums”) where Registered Users with similar interests or medical conditions can share information and support one another or where Registered Users can post questions for others to answer. The information contained on the Forums is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice relative to a specific medical condition. We do not guarantee monitoring or authentication of the information contained on the Forums for accuracy, safety, or reliability. Always seek the advice of a Healthcare Practitioner or other qualified health provider for any questions you may have regarding your medical condition. By accessing and using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, and any other terms, conditions and policies that appear on the Site. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, please do not access or use the Site. We may change these Terms and Conditions from time-to-time. We will notify you of such updates via the Site. By accessing or using the Site, Services or Healthcare Services after the effective date of any such changes, you acknowledge such changes and agree to be bound by the revised Terms and Conditions. You may always view the most current up-to-date Terms and Conditions at Legal Notices.
The Healthcare Services are provided through a Management Services Agreement (“MSA”) between Amaze Health and Amaze Medical. The Healthcare Practitioners who deliver the Healthcare Services are engaged by Amaze Medical. Amaze Health does not practice medicine and does not interfere with the practice of medicine by Amaze Medical. Each Healthcare Practitioner is responsible for his or her services and compliance with the requirements applicable to his or her profession and license. All Health Practitioners on the Site hold professional licenses issued by the professional licensing boards in the states where they practice. The Healthcare Practitioners provide a broad range of Healthcare Services, however not all patient situations or medical and mental health care is appropriate for telehealth. From time-to-time, the Healthcare Practitioners may recommend care provided by a local medical professional, including primary care providers, psychiatrist, psychologist, psychotherapist, therapist, counselor, social worker, and other medical specialists, and the Healthcare Practitioners may decline to provide medical and mental health care that they do not believe is in your best interest or that is not appropriate for telehealth. We are not an online pharmacy, nor are we a Medicare prescription drug plan. We are not a qualified health plan. We are not insurance and are not intended to replace health insurance. The offering of Healthcare Services by us is not to be construed as the sale of insurance product(s) or otherwise engaging in the transaction of insurance.
Disclaimer: None of the Site content should be considered medical advice or an endorsement, representation or warranty that any particular medication or treatment is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. The Site content is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of a Healthcare Practitioner or other qualified health provider for answers to any questions you may have regarding a medical, mental health, or other health related condition. Never disregard medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the Site and any information provided by the users of the Site. Any reliance on the Site content and any information provided by the users of the Site is solely at your own risk. The opinions expressed on the Site by the users are those of the users and not ours. Only the information directly provided to you by a Healthcare Practitioner or other qualified health provider is to be considered medical advice.
Medical Coverage Disclaimer: Amaze is independent of any payment solution. Payment solutions include, but are not limited to: employer, government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, healthcare ministry cost-sharing plans, major medical insurance coverage, minimum essential coverage plans and prescription drug plans. Regardless of whether our services are provided by your employer in conjunction with a payment solution, such as major medical insurance coverage, or is embedded in a payment solution, you can trust that Amaze will always be your independent healthcare partner. When possible, we will assist you in obtaining as much information as available regarding the potential costs of your medical care. Sometimes that includes reviewing typical costs (often referred to as “usual” or “customary”) by researching them via healthcare price transparency tools which are mandated by Federal law (and some state laws). In other situations, we will request such information from treating providers or your payment solution (such as your insurance company). Unfortunately, the information we receive is often unreliable. By way of example: When asked, a treating provider will say they “accept” your insurance. Sometimes they will answer “yes” without being sure. Many insurance companies offer multiple plans, and as a result, providers may participate in some, but not others. And thus, the only way to be certain regarding coverage is to inquire directly with your insurance company. While we can try to do this for you, some insurance companies are unwilling to share this information with a third-party and require you to personally inquire. In other situations, we cannot confirm this information for a simpler reason, such as the insurance company being closed for business (e.g., nights, weekends, holidays). Even if a treating provider confirms that they participate in your specific insurance plan, that fact alone does not guarantee that your insurance company will cover a charge. It may be determined that a particular test or procedure is not covered within your specific insurance plan; it may be determined that the medical test or procedure performed by the treating provider was not medically necessary; or your insurance company may require more documentation before approving such charge. While we are always here to support you, there is only so much we can do when it comes to what payment solutions will or will not pay. And unfortunately, we do not have control over these determinations. Although Amaze always seeks to advise our patients with cost in mind, your health and well-being must always come first, regardless of the potential cost implications. By way of example: When you require immediate medical care, which could be at an Urgent Care, Walk-In Clinic, Retail Clinic, or Emergency Room, among others, it is common for there to be no opportunity to review the tests or procedures that will be conducted. The American Healthcare system is based on diagnostics and procedures. Until a diagnosis is made, often there is no prior knowledge of the procedure that will follow. As such, a payment solution may disagree with a treating provider regarding the medical necessity of a test or procedure and might decide to decline payment. Amaze will always use its best medical judgment as to your condition and situation. And if possible, given the circumstances, we will try to guide you with the best cost decisions in mind. However, we merely improve the decisions our patients make on an aggregate basis. Many patients may still find themselves with medical bills that they believe are excessive in cost, or for which payment seems unreasonably denied. We will support you the best we can, but we cannot accept responsibility for the entirety of the broken American healthcare system.

Notice of Health Information Privacy Practices
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
This section, “Notice of Health Information Privacy Practices” or “Notice”, contains important information regarding your health information. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) imposes numerous requirements on how certain individually identifiable health information – known as protected health information or (“PHI”) – may be used and disclosed.

Please review it carefully.
We understand that health information about you and your health is personal.

As portions of the Site can only be accessed and used by Registered Users, we must be able to link a Registered User’s activity back to their identity, for example, to verify identity in our systems and eligibility for the Services or Healthcare Services. Therefore, we do collect identifiable, personal and health information about Registered Users. While no Site can guarantee perfect security, we maintain physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to help protect personal and health information as required by applicable law. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur, we use industry standards, such as Secure Socket Layers (“SSL”) technology, to help safeguard against such occurrences. The information passed between your browser and our system is encrypted with SSL technology to create a protected connection between you and our Site to ensure confidentiality. Our servers are protected behind the Internet by using firewall and encryption technology. All data is stored and transferred in encrypted formats that either meet or exceed standards defined by applicable federal and state laws. No data is transferred to users that do not have rights to access such information.
We allow Registered Users to access the Site, Services or Healthcare Services through a software application on a mobile device (an “Application”). If you choose to use the Application, we, or a third-party vendor on our behalf, may collect additional information about you including (1) Precise location (e.g., GPS-level) data, such as latitude, longitude, accuracy, altitude, speed, heading, (2) Mobile advertising identifiers (e.g., Apple IDFA, Android advertising ID), (3) IP addresses, (4) Device information (e.g., device make, device model, operating system version, Apple IDFV, Android ID), (5) Time zone information, (6) Privacy preferences, and (7) other information regarding your use of the Application. We use the information collected to analyze and improve the Registered User’s experience using the Application and otherwise communicate with the Registered User. Additionally, we track your location and send push notifications from time-to-time in order to update you about the Services or Healthcare Services and what is available to you as a Registered User. If you no longer wish to receive such communications, you may turn them off at the device level. Please be aware, however, if you do not allow us access to your location, which may be needed to help you in an emergency situation, we may not be able to assist you.
We, or a third-party vendor on our behalf, may collect non-identifiable information, which is automatically collected as you browse or otherwise access the Site. We may collect such information by tracking, or asking a third-party vendor to track, your click-stream activity when such information is not tied to your identification through the use of “cookie” technology or by tracking internet protocol (IP) addresses, as explained below. Because we want our Site to better serve Visitors’ needs, we collect some basic information about Visitors’ computers, including, but not limited to:
We use this information to continuously enhance our Site and to better serve our Visitors’ needs. For example, we use this information to know what browsers people most commonly use, what pages are most often visited, and what functionality is most used. All the information we collect from Visitors’ computers is de-identified and is not personal information. The non-identifiable information we collect may be shared with our suppliers and vendors and used in the aggregate to create summary statistics that help us analyze Site usage trends, assess what information is of most and least importance, determine technical design specifications, arrange the Sites in the most user-friendly way, and identify system performance or problems.
When you use or access the Site, we may place cookies in your web browser. Cookies are small pieces of text sent by your web browser by a website you visit. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. We use both types of cookies for purposes such as: to enable certain functions; to provide analytics; and to store your preferences. We may also use essential cookies to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts. In addition to our own cookies, we may use third-party cookies to help in reporting things such as usage statistics, or analytics tools that use cookies, web beacons, or other similar information gathering technologies to collect standard internet log information and usage information. If you would like to delete cookies or instruct your web browser or device to delete or refuse cookies, visit the page of your web browser or device where you can take the steps necessary to do so. Please note, however, that if you delete cookies or refuse to accept them, you might not be able to use all of the features we offer, you might not be able to store your preferences, and some of our pages might not display properly. In addition, your browser or device may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and applications that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and/or across different websites. Please note, however, some third-party services do not support Do Not Track requests, which means that they may collect information about your online activity both while you such services and after cease using such services.
Our current Site Privacy Policy is posted at Legal Notices. We may change our Site Privacy Policy from time-to-time in the future. We will notify you of such updates via the Site. Continued access and use of the Site, Services or Healthcare Services following such changes will indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.

Informed Consent for Telehealth Services (Medical and Mental Health Care)
Telehealth involves Healthcare Practitioners delivering Healthcare Services to patients via interactive video communications, audio communications, and/or by the electronic transmission of information. In other words, telehealth involves the use of electronic communications to enable Healthcare Practitioners at different locations to (i) evaluate, assess, diagnose, manage, and/or treat health problems and (ii) share individual patient medical information for the purpose of improving patient care. The information may be used for evaluation, assessment, diagnosis, management, treatment, follow-up and/or education, and may include any of the following:
Electronic systems used will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of patient identification and imaging data and will include measures to safeguard the data and to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption.
As with any medical and mental health care, there are potential risks associated with the use of telehealth. These risks include, but may not be limited to:
As set forth in the Notice of Health Information Privacy Practices posted at Legal Notices, and as with traditional medical and mental health care, there are Federal laws, such as HIPAA, and State regulations that protect the confidentiality of your personal and health information through the use of telehealth services. Accordingly, such information disclosed by you during your use of telehealth services is generally confidential, however, there are both mandatory and permissive exceptions to confidentiality. For example, we are required to report abuse, expressed threats of violence towards yourself or others, and criminal activity.
As set forth in the Terms and Conditions at Legal Notices, Healthcare Services (medical and mental health care) are available for use by minor children, whose parent or legal guardian gives their consent. Most states require an individual to be at least eighteen (18) years old to consent to Healthcare Services, including mental health services, except for “outpatient psychotherapy” in which case the age of consent will be determined by the laws of the states. By providing this Informed Consent, you are representing that you are of legal age to consent, or your parent or legal guardian has given their consent. With respect to mental health service, if a parent or legal guardian has consented, such individuals understand that different states have different laws and regulations regarding access to medical records, notes and communications about the services and medical records and notes.
