Furthermore, the use of telehealth may present certain risks, such as delays in medical evaluation and treatment due to technological issues, the need to reschedule if the transmitted information is of insufficient quality or failure of potential failure security protocols which could cause disclosure of personal information. In addition, I understand a lack of access to my complete medical record could result in adverse drug interactions or other unintended results, and I understand it is my responsibility to share complete and accurate information with my provider.

4. I have the right to withdraw my consent to Brisk Health’s use of telehealth at any time without affecting my right to future care or treatment or risking the loss or withdrawal of any program benefits to which I would otherwise be entitled. Receiving treatment through telehealth does not mean that I cannot receive in-person health care services now or in the future.

5. The information and data disclosed by me during the course of my treatment through telehealth may be integrated into my medical record and will generally be protected and confidential. Brisk Health uses secure technology that complies with federal privacy laws to provide telehealth services, incorporating reasonable and appropriate network and software security protocols to protect patient information and ensure its integrity. Without limiting the foregoing, Brisk Health uses industry-leading security standards to maintain the highest level of security for our patients, including multi-factor authentication and AES256 encryption to protect data. However, I understand and accept that, as is the case with all electronic data, there is a risk that data security protocols could fail or be breached, which may result in the unintended disclosure of my information.

6. Brisk Health will not provide my personally-identifiable information to any third parties without my express consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I understand that my healthcare information may be shared with other individuals and entities for Brisk Health’s scheduling, billing, and other treatment, payment, and health care operations purposes or other uses or disclosures permitted or required by law, and I consent to such use and disclosure solely to the extent such use or disclosure complies with applicable federal and state privacy laws.

7. Brisk Health and its providers are not responsible for any information lost as a result of any technical failures encountered during the course of my telehealth treatment.

8. An in-person evaluation is required prior to prescribing any schedule II, III, or IV drugs and at least every 90 days for ongoing prescriptions. However, your doctor – at their discretion – may choose to renew or adjust prescriptions for controlled medications via telehealth as long as you have had an in-person visit in the prior 90 days as allowed by state laws.

9. I understand that if I am experiencing a medical emergency I will be directed to call 911 and that Brisk Health is not able to connect me directly to local emergency services.

The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

Filing a Demand. To start an arbitration, you must do all three of the following: (i) Write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the number of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (ii) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, 1155 F Street, NW, Suite 1150, Washington, DC 20004; and (iii) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us at: Brisk Technologies, Inc, 8905 South Pecos Road, Suite 23C, Henderson, NV 89074.

 

To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

 

The parties understand that absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing, unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration. For individuals residing outside the United States, the arbitration shall be initiated in Nevada, United States, and you and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Nevada in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

 

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

​

This means that you and we expressly waive any rights to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

 

Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations, or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights. “Intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets—but does not include privacy or publicity rights. Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

  

Changes to This Section. We will provide thirty (30) days notice of any material changes to this section by posting a notice on the Services or informing you via email, and complying with any other applicable legal notice or consent requirements. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Services or sent to you by email. Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day.

 

If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection (“Changes to this Section”) is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection will be deemed to be severed from the section entitled “Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.” If this happens, the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section or similar section in existence after you began using the Services.
