Except for certain kinds of disputes described in Section 15, you agree that disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND WELL BEAM ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. (See Section 15.)

1. Well Beam Service Overview.

1.1 General. Well Beam is a digital communication platform that allows physicians’ care teams (each a “Care Team”) and post-acute vendors (each an “Post-Acute Vendor”) that have entered into subscription agreements with Well Beam (“Subscription Agreement”) to use Well Beam’s services for exchanging clinical care communication. This includes exchanging information regarding patients, including patient alerts, photos, videos, care plans and physician’s orders through the Service.

1.2 Instant Messages; Orders. Well Beam may allow Care Teams and Post-Acute Vendors to exchange messages through the instant messaging feature on the Service. By using the instant messaging feature, you represent and warrant that: (a) you, and only you, are responsible for sending messages and you understand and agree that Well Beam merely acts as a technology platform to transmit the messages; (b) you will only send messages about a patient to other users of the Service who have been assigned to handling that patient’s case; and (c) you will indemnify and hold Well Beam harmless from any and all claims arising out your use of the messaging service. Messages exchanged via the instant messaging feature of the Service will not be deemed an executed physician’s order, and you agree that you will not rely on an instant message as a substitute for a physician’s order. A physician must only execute a physician’s order through the designated functionality within the Service that allows for the said order to be electronically signed by the ordering physician. You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, guidelines and requirements for medical order protocols. A physician or authorized medical provider may submit a verbal medical order using the instant messaging function. For more information about Well Beam’s requirements for submitting a written or verbal order, please visit our Order Information page located at: https://well-beam.com/privacy.

1.3 E-Signatures. Well Beam may allow you to sign documents electronically through the use of third party software. By using such feature, you are solely responsible for obtaining all necessary rights and authority to sign documents electronically in accordance with all applicable laws and any policies applicable to your Care Team or Post-Acute Vendor. Well Beam is not responsible for determining whether any particular document can be legally formed by electronic signature or whether any electronic signature is valid. Without limiting the foregoing, if you are an advanced practice provider (as such term is defined under applicable law), you represent and warrant to Well Beam that, by executing or authorizing a home health order, care plan, or other similar documents using the Service, you (1) are permitted to do so by any applicable standardized procedures and/or supervisory practice agreement, and (2) only do so after having fulfilled any applicable physician consultation requirement.

1.4 No Emergency Services. THE SERVICE SHOULD NOT BE USED DURING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE SERVICE IS NOT INTENDED TO SUPPORT OR CARRY MESSAGES TO ANY EMERGENCY SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY SUCH EMERGENCY SERVICES THAT MAY OTHERWISE ACCEPT INSTANT MESSAGES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE AN ALTERNATE MEANS TO SEND AND RECEIVE EMERGENCY MESSAGES AND TO CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES.

1.5 Disclaimer. IN THE EVENT THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO ACCESS THE SERVICE OR EXCHANGE INFORMATION THROUGH THE SERVICE, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EXCHANGING PATIENT INFORMATION BY AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD, SUCH AS BY TELEPHONE OR FACSIMILE OR ANY OTHER METHOD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS, AND POLICIES THAT GOVERN THE PROVISION OF CARE BY THE CARE TEAM OR POST-ACUTE VENDOR WITH WHICH YOU ARE ASSOCIATED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WELL BEAM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DELAY OR FAILURE TO OBTAIN OR COMMUNICATE PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE REGARDING A PATIENT CASE. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFIRMING THAT ALL INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS EXCHANGED THROUGH THE SERVICE HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY THE INTENDED RECIPIENT.

2. Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 18 years old; (b) you have been authorized to use the Service by an account administrator at the Care Team or Post-Acute Vendor with which you are associated (“Account Administrator”) in compliance with the applicable Subscription Agreement; (c) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (d) your use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations.

3. Your Access Credentials. To use the Service, you will need to receive access credentials, including an e-mail address and password, from an Account Administrator. Once you sign in to the Service, you may be required to provide a mobile telephone number and may have an opportunity to update your password in connection with your account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.

The Service may include or incorporate third party software components that are generally available free of charge under licenses granting recipients broad rights to copy, modify, and distribute those components (“Third Party Components”).

Certain features of the Service may permit users to upload content to the Service, including messages, photos, videos, data, records, plans of care and order changes (“User Data”) and to exchange User Data on the Service.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Well Beam will have no liability to you in connection with any information that you disclose on the Service that any user of the Service uses, discloses or otherwise exploits in any manner.

7.4 User Data Representations and Warranties. Well Beam disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Data. You are solely responsible for your User Data and the consequences of providing User Data via the Service. By providing User Data via the Service, you affirm, represent, and warrant that: a. you have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to authorize Well Beam and users of the Service to use and distribute your User Data as necessary to exercise the licenses granted by you in this Section, in the manner contemplated by Well Beam, the Service, and these Terms; b. your User Data, and the use of your User Data as contemplated by these Terms, does not and will not: (i) infringe, violate, or misappropriate any third party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; (ii) slander, defame, libel, or invade the right of privacy, publicity or other property rights of any other person; or (iii) cause Well Beam to violate any law or regulation.

To the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to any of Well Beam’s obligations in an applicable Subscription Agreement, we will not be in any way responsible or liable for User Data, including the accuracy or quality of User Data. Well Beam may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Data that in our sole judgment violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable. You understand that when using the Service you will be exposed to User Data from other users and acknowledge that User Data may be inaccurate. You agree to waive, and do waive, any legal or equitable right or remedy you have or may have against Well Beam with respect to User Data to the maximum extent permitted by law.

13. Disclaimers; No Warranties THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. WELL BEAM DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING: (A) ANYIMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE. WELL BEAM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICE, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND WELL BEAM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THOSE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICE OR WELL BEAM ENTITIES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE WELL BEAM ENTITIES OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

15. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

15.1 Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Well Beam in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as described in Section 15.2 and 15.4, you and Well Beam agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND WELL BEAM ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

15.2 Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 15.1, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

15.3 Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 15 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending an e-mail to support@well-beam.com that specifies: your full legal name, the e-mail address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Well Beam receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 15 will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 16.2. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.

15.4 Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Well Beam will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.com, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Well Beam. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.

15.5 Notice of Arbitration; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Well Beam’s e-mail address for Notice of Arbitration is: support@well-beam.com. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Well Beam may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Well Beam must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Well Beam in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, Well Beam will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) $10,000.

15.6 Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Well Beam will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Santa Clara County, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Well Beam for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

15.7 No Class Actions. YOU AND WELL BEAM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Well Beam agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

15.8 Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Well Beam makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Well Beam’s address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Well Beam’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Well Beam will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.

15.9 Enforceability. If Section 15.7 or the entirety of this Section 15 is found to be unenforceable, or if Well Beam receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 15 will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 16.2 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

16. Miscellaneous

16.1 General Terms. These Terms and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Well Beam regarding your use of the Service. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to”. If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
