Description of Upliv Services
You understand and agree that the Platform is intended to facilitate the following services (the “Services”): (i) providing registered users with information on health care and wellness topics; (ii) providing individuals with access to technology-oriented tools for addressing certain health issues; (iii) administrative support in connection with scheduling appointments on the Platform; and (iv) technology support for using the Platform as a means of direct access to Health Care Providers for communication, consultations, assessments, and treatment by such providers.
Upliv does not provide any health care services, including via the Platform. Rather, Upliv provides a technology platform for you to access a Health Care Provider who is employed or contracted with the Practice. The health and wellness resources made available through our Platform are for informational purposes only, and are not a substitute for direct in-person health care services in all cases; nor are they an indicator of specific results. The decision to focus on diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or both, rests with you and your Health Care Provider. You understand that by coordinating and consulting with the Practice or its Health Care Providers through the Platform, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with Upliv. You understand and agree that Upliv is not responsible for health care services, or your use of any health care services, provided by a Health Care Provider or the Practice, including any personal injury or property damage.
The Platform 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 health care 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.
Telehealth Services
Telehealth involves the delivery of health care services using electronic communications, information technology, or other means between a Health Care Provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location. Telehealth may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and/or related patient education. These telehealth services may involve various modalities, including asynchronous interactions, real-time video and audio encounters and interactive audio with store and forward. Please refer to our Telehealth Informed Consent www.uplivhealth.com/telehealth-consent to learn about the risks, benefits, and limitations of utilizing telehealth to meet your health care needs and to consent to receive services utilizing telehealth technologies.

Dispute Resolution
In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement (“Dispute”) arising from or relating to these Terms and Conditions or the Platform, we and you (collectively, the “Parties”) shall use their reasonable efforts to settle the Dispute. To this effect, the Parties shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to both Parties. If the Parties do not reach such resolution within a period of thirty (30) days, then all Disputes shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules for consumer arbitrations (“AAA Rules”). The venue for all Disputes arising under these Terms and Conditions shall be in New York County, New York, but you and we may agree to conduct the arbitration by telephone, online and/or solely based on written submissions. You hereby waive any right to claim that such location is an inconvenient forum and covenant not to sue us in any other forum. This agreement to arbitrate will be specifically enforceable in any court having jurisdiction. Notice of a demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party hereto and with the AAA. Such a notice should be mailed to:
Caire Women’s Health, Inc.
373 Park Avenue South, Second Floor
New York, NY 10016
ATTN: Dispute Notice
The demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the dispute has arisen, and in no event shall any such demand be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The Parties agree that one (1) arbitrator shall arbitrate the dispute. The arbitrator shall be selected by the joint agreement of the Parties, but if they do not so agree within twenty (20) days after the date of the notice of a demand for arbitration referred to above, the selection shall be made pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA from the panels of business arbitrators maintained by the AAA. The Parties agree that the arbitrator shall have sole authority to decide whether claims brought by either party (excluding claims brought under the following paragraph regarding intellectual property and preliminary equitable relief claims) are subject to this dispute resolution agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be made in writing, shall be final, judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and the decision shall not be subject to vacation, modification or appeal, except to the extent permitted by sections 10 and 11 of the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of which sections the Parties agree shall apply. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity (including attorney’s fees) and any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties. The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives. The arbitrator also does not have the power to vary the class action waiver provisions. The fees charged by the AAA and arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Parties. If, however, you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive for you as compared to the costs of litigation, Upliv will pay as much of the filing, administration and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive for you. All arbitration proceedings will be confidential and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed to the fullest extent possible under applicable law.
Either party may bring a claim related to intellectual property rights, seek temporary or preliminary specific performance or temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, or seek to bring an individual action in small claims court (provided such claim qualifies to be filed in small claims court, in any court of competent jurisdiction, without the posting of bond or other security. If any term, clause or provision of this Section is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this section will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in this section are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the Platform and these Terms and Conditions and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York regardless of where you access the Platform, and notwithstanding any conflicts of law principles.
Class Action Waiver
ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A COLLECTIVE OR CLASS ACTION OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO ASSERT CONSOLIDATED CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES. NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE COMBINED WITH ANOTHER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ALL AFFECTED ARBITRATIONS OR PROCEEDINGS.
Limitation of Time to File Claims
ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR DISPUTE YOU HAVE AGAINST US MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR, UNLESS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD BEGINS WHEN THE CLAIM OR NOTICE OF DISPUTE FIRST COULD BE FILED. IF A CLAIM OR DISPUTE IS NOT FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR, IT IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Miscellaneous

Entire Agreement
These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Platform and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of you or us, any right or any power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise of that or any other right hereunder. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and any other terms, the terms of these Terms and Conditions shall govern. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the remainder of the provision will be amended to achieve, as closely as possible, the effect of the original term and all other provisions of these Terms and Conditions will continue in full force and effect.
