I. What We Do
Our services are provided through the Site (which may include Mobile Applications), which is a telehealth online solution that allows participating medical professionals and health care staff (“Healthcare Providers” or “Providers”) to communicate with their clients and patients (“Patients”) to provide health care services online and perform virtual house calls via a secure Internet connection (the “Services”). We are not a health insurance company, or licensed to sell health insurance.
USE OF OUR SERVICES IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR EMERGENCIES. IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A MEDICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCY, OR IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR CARE OR TREATMENT, CALL 911 OR GO TO THE NEAREST OPEN CLINIC OR EMERGENCY ROOM.
While the Services may provide access to certain general medical information, and also allow patients to communicate with health care providers, the Services we provide cannot and are not intended to provide medical advice. We advise seeking the advice of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions regarding personal health or medical conditions. Never disregard, avoid, or delay in obtaining medical advice from a doctor or other qualified healthcare provider because of something posted on the Site. If you have or suspect that you have a medical problem or condition, please contact a qualified healthcare professional immediately. THE CONTENT ON THE SITE IS NOT AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED MEDICAL ADVICE OR A SUBSTITUTE FOR INDIVIDUAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TALK TO YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT, INCLUDING INFORMATION REGARDING WHICH DRUGS, THERAPY, OR OTHER TREATMENT MAY BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOU. NONE OF THE INFORMATION ON THE SITE REPRESENTS OR WARRANTS THAT ANY PARTICULAR DRUG, THERAPY OR OTHER TREATMENT IS SAFE, APPROPRIATE, OR EFFECTIVE FOR YOU. FURTHER, A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER’S ABILITY TO USE OUR SERVICES IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OR RECOMMENDATION OF THAT HEALTH CARE PROVIDER BY GLOBALDOC.
To the extent medical advice is provided to you by a health care provider through the Services, such medical advice is based on your personal health data as provided by you to the health care provider and the local standards of care for your presenting symptoms, based on the information you provide. The medical advice provided by your health care provider is not under the control of GLOBALDOC, nor is it provided to or used by GLOBALDOC.
II. Modifications
GLOBALDOC can change, update, or add or remove provisions of these Terms, at any time by posting the updated Terms on this Site and by providing a notice on the Site. By using this Site after GLOBALDOC has updated the Terms, you are agreeing to all the updated Terms; if you do not agree with any of the updated Terms, you must stop using the Site.
GLOBALDOC may make changes to the Site or to the Services at any time, without notice. If you object to any changes to the Site or Services, your sole recourse will be to cease using them. Continued use of the Site or Services following posting of any such changes will indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and satisfaction with the Services as so modified. We also reserve the right to discontinue the Site and/or Services at any time without notice. We will not be liable to you or any third-party should we exercise our right to modify or discontinue the Site or the Services.
In addition, certain features of the Services may be subject to additional terms of use. By using such features, or any part thereof, you agree to be bound by the additional terms of use applicable to such features. In the event that any of the additional terms of use governing such area conflict with these Terms, the additional terms will govern.
III. Patient and Health Care Provider Responsibilities
If you are a Patient, you accept responsibility for yourself in the use of the Services. You acknowledge that your relationship for health care services is with your health care provider, and your obtaining services from the Healthcare Provider is solely at your own risk and you assume full responsibility for all risk associated therewith, to the extent permitted by law. By using the Service, you agree to not hold GLOBALDOC liable in any way for any malpractice or substandard treatment the Healthcare Provider may render.
We do not confirm the credentials of Healthcare Providers using our Services and do not validate that they are in good standing with their respective licensure board(s). It is the patient’s responsibility to separately confirm that a healthcare Provider is in good standing with his or her respective licensing board(s).
If you are a Healthcare Provider, you accept responsibility for your Patients as well as yourself in the use of this Service. You are also responsible for the quality of the services you provide during your use of the Service and for complying with all applicable laws in connection with your use of the Service. For example, you are responsible for obtaining any and all Federal, State and local licenses and certifications which may be required to practice your profession when using this Service and maintaining malpractice and liability insurance in compliance with regulatory and local requirements.
You are also responsible for obtaining Patient consent if required by law and complying with any and all privacy laws applicable to the use of this Service with your patients, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). GLOBALDOC has established reasonable safeguards and procedures to protect the security of patient information, but you must also take steps to protect your privacy and confidentiality that of your patients.

XX. Legal Disputes
These Terms will be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, United States of America excluding its rules regarding conflicts of law. Foreign laws do not apply. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against GLOBALDOC must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the State of Florida, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the Arbitration subsection below.
