These Terms and Conditions (what we call the “Terms”) make up the agreement between you and Simple HealthKit, Inc. (“Simple HealthKit,” “we,” “our”).

Processing Your Test Kit

Test kit processing requires collecting, using, and disclosing user information per your consent, our Privacy Policy and Notices of Privacy Practices.

Before proceeding with any test kit, it’s important to read all the relevant information in the Terms, Privacy Policy, Notice of Privacy Practices, and other packaging materials related to processing our testing kits.

Your Consent

BY SENDING US YOUR SAMPLE, YOU GIVE YOUR CONSENT TO:

• UNDERGO THE PROCESSING OF THE RELATED TEST KIT AND USE OF YOUR INFORMATION; and 
• AUTHORIZE THE REPORTING OF THE TEST RESULT IF REQUIRED. 

Processing of your test kit will require you to disclose your Personal Information (as defined in our Privacy Policy). You understand Simple HealthKit will use your Personal Information and your test kit information for processing your test kit and related services. Additionally, Simple HealthKit may use your test kit information and your Personal Information to improve its Services or contact you for company-related marketing purposes. You have read, understand, and accept our Privacy Policy that governs your use of the Services, and our Notice of Privacy Practices  that governs any health information we hold on your behalf. 

Sometimes infections or conditions take time to show in a test. Repeat testing might be necessary. The test results are not a definite diagnosis. False-positive and false-negative results can occur with screening tests. Verifying positive results through a confirmatory test by a licensed healthcare professional is important. 

It is important to make informed decisions about your health based on a comprehensive evaluation by a licensed healthcare provider. If you have doubts or have symptoms, it’s best to consult a licensed healthcare professional. 

Some of our test kits test illnesses and conditions that must be reported. We must report those test results to county and state public health departments or to any government entity that requires reporting by either law or the ordering provider. You understand and consent that a positive test result will be reported as required. 

This consent will continue for so long as you have a Simple Healthkit account. You may email privacy@simplehealthkit.com to revoke your consent or ask any questions you have about this consent or our privacy practices.

3. Test results will be delivered directly to your healthcare provider or pharmacist, typically within 24-48 hours of receiving the sample.

Virtual Care Services Accessed Through Our Portal (Telehealth)

Connections to medical care can occur through your healthcare provider, local lab, local clinic, or through our virtual care services, commonly known as telehealth.

The virtual care services available through our portal are operated and managed by licensed medical professionals separate from Simple HealthKit. These services are provided by third-party licensed healthcare providers who are responsible for all medical services, including consultations, prescriptions, and follow-up care. Such licensed medical professionals are solely responsible for any medical care and treatment provided to you as part of these virtual care services.

It is your responsibility to review and agree to the third-party provider’s terms before you use their medical services. If you have any problems or concerns with the medical services, please reach out directly to the third-party provider to address your concerns.
Virtual care services use technology to provide medical advice when you and your healthcare provider are not in the same location. This can include secure messages, video consultations, and other forms of remote communication.

These services connect you with licensed healthcare professionals. It’s important that you share information that is accurate, truthful, and relevant to your health during these interactions.

WITHIN THE LIMITS OF APPLICABLE LAWS, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE:

SIMPLE HEALTHKIT WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES YOU MAY EXPERIENCE IN ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES, INCLUDING DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES. THIS INCLUDES LOSSES SUCH AS PROFITS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES. 

EVEN IF SIMPLE HEALTHKIT HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES SET BY THE LAW, THEY WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR:

• YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY DIFFICULTIES YOU FACE IN USING THEM.
• ANY ACTIONS YOU TAKE BASED ON THE INFORMATION YOU RECEIVE FROM THE SERVICES.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR USING OUR SERVICES, OR TEN UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($10.00) IF YOU HAVEN’T PAID ANYTHING. 

Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages, so these limitations may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by applicable law. 

10. Indemnification 

You agree to protect, indemnify, and hold Simple HealthKit harmless if someone makes a claim against them because of something you did. This includes, by example, any use of our test kits, any content you share, how you use the Service, your connection to the Service, breaking the rules, or violating someone else’s rights. If this happens, you will pay Simple Healthcare’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs. 

11. Dispute Resolution

Both parties reserve the right to take legal action and seek remedies in case of any violations of the rules and regulations outlined in connection with our Services, including the Terms. This may include blocking access from specific Internet addresses to our Services. We may also cooperate with legal authorities and third parties to investigate suspected or alleged crimes or civil wrongs. 

If you have any concerns about using the Service, contact us at legal@simplehealthkit.com. Most issues can be resolved through this informal process. We both agree to make a good-faith effort to settle any disputes or disagreements through consultation and negotiation before resorting to a lawsuit or arbitration.

Both parties agree that any issues or claims related to the Terms or our Services must be initiated within one year from when the issue or claim first arises. After one year, neither party can pursue legal action regarding that specific matter.

Use of our Terms requires agreement to arbitration and class action waiver. However, even though we agree to resolve disputes through arbitration, there are exceptions. Small claims court is available for disputes within its jurisdiction, and intellectual property disputes are not subject to arbitration.

It’s possible arbitration may not apply, or you may have opted out. In that instance, any litigation must be filed exclusively in state or federal courts in Alameda County, California (except for small claims court actions). Both parties consent to the jurisdiction of these courts and waive a jury trial except when not allowed by law.

You acknowledge that any violation or threatened violation of the Terms by you would cause us significant harm, and monetary damages may not be sufficient. Therefore, you consent to us obtaining any necessary injunctive or equitable relief. These remedies are in addition to any other ones available under the law.

These Terms will be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of California without considering conflicts of laws. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms. 

Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

You can opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions. To do so, you must send a written notice of your decision to opt out within 30 days of your first use of the Service or the effective date of the first Terms containing the arbitration and class action waiver section. If you opt out, you will not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. THE TERMS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR ABILITY TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Either of us may start binding arbitration if we cannot solve a dispute within 30 days of attempting informal dispute resolution. In this instance, claims arising from or related to these Terms, our relationship, or your use of the Services will be resolved through arbitration. This arbitration provision replaces your right to sue in court, including the right to a jury trial.

JAMS will administer the arbitration confidentially, per their Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, without class actions, and subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. For more information on the arbitration process, you can visit https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures. 

Each party can have legal representation at their own expense. The arbitrator will have the authority to resolve disputes and provide appropriate relief. The arbitration award will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any applicable court.

If you initiate arbitration and the filing fee exceeds $250, we will cover the additional cost if your claim is found to be valid. We will also be responsible for paying other arbitration costs, except for your legal counsel fees and expenses. If you do not prevail in arbitration, you will not be required to pay our fees and costs. 

Both parties agree that any arbitration will be conducted individually, and neither party can file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. The arbitrator may provide the same damages or relief available in court for an individual claim. However, a “public injunction” can only be awarded by a federal or state court, not the arbitrator. If a court or arbitrator finds the class action waiver unenforceable, the class action waiver will be void, and the parties will not be bound by it.

12. Export Control

The United States controls the export of products and information. You agree to comply with such restrictions and not to export or re-export the test kits to countries or persons prohibited under the export control laws. By registering a test kit, you agree that you are not located in a country where such export is prohibited or are a person or entity to which such export is prohibited. You are responsible for compliance with the laws of your local jurisdiction regarding the import, export, or re-export of the test kits.

13. Notices and Electronic Communications

YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER RECORDS AND THE ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES, AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR COMPLETED BY US OR VIA THE WEBSITE. When you visit our website or send us emails, you are communicating with us electronically. This means that you agree to receive electronic communications from us. We will contact you via email using the address you have provided (if any), through the mobile application we offer, or by posting notices on our website. By agreeing to this, you understand that any agreements, notices, disclosures, or other communications we provide to you electronically fulfill the legal requirement for written communication. You also acknowledge that any electronic notices we send are considered as officially given and received on the date we transmit them, as explained in these Terms. You hereby waive any rights or requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, or other laws in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of credits by any means other than electronic means.

Additionally, you agree that by providing your phone number to use, you grant permission for Simple HealthKit to send you SMS text messages about your portal account, your test kit status, or other Services related to your account. You can cancel the SMS service at any time. You can change your SMS services preferences in your profile settings on the platform.  

We are able to deliver messages to major phone carriers by using Twillio’s services, a third party service provider. Please note that carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. Message frequency varies. Send an email to help@simplehealthkit.com for any questions about our Services. 

All official notices to us must be in writing. This means sending them by certified mail with a return receipt, using a reputable courier service with proper oversight, or delivering them by hand or electronically. Any notice sent using the methods mentioned above will be considered properly given for all purposes stated in these Terms. In the case of certified mail, it will be deemed delivered on the second business day after it’s deposited in the U.S. mail. In the case of overnight courier or hand delivery, it will be considered delivered upon actual delivery. Simple HealthKit accepts service of process at this address. Any notices you provide without compliance with this section on Notices shall have no legal effect.

15. Miscellaneous 

The Terms contain the complete agreement between you and Simple HealthKit and replace any previous agreements. Additional terms and conditions may apply when using affiliate Services, third-party content, or third-party software. 

Non-enforcement of a specific provision does not mean Simple HealthKit is giving up on that provision. We may still enforce it in the future. 

If any part of these Terms is found invalid, unlawful, or otherwise unenforceable, the rest will still apply and remain valid. You and Simple HealthKit agree to negotiate and replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a new provision that closely reflects the original intent of these Terms.  

You cannot transfer or assign any rights or responsibilities under this agreement to someone else. Simple HealthKit can freely transfer or assign their rights and responsibilities under this agreement without notifying you. 

We may transfer to another entity or its affiliates or service providers some or all of the Services during negotiations of any merger, acquisition, sale of assets or any line of business, change in ownership control, or financing transaction. We cannot promise that an acquiring party or the merged entity will have the same practices as described in these Terms. They may also substitute another party for Simple HealthKit, and this change will take effect once you receive notice.
