These Terms of Use (these “Terms”) govern your access to, and use, of the services available through the platform, including its website www.Pilaris.com (“the Website”), our mobile application(s) (“Apps”) and all content, information and/or materials provided in connection therewith (all of the foregoing, collectively the “Services”). THESE TERMS ARE IMPORTANT, CONTAIN LEGAL OBLIGATIONS AND AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, SO PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY. NOTE THAT SECTION 19 OF THESE TERMS CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF CERTAIN DISPUTES. 

 

BY CLICKING "I ACCEPT" OR BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES OR CREATING AN ACCOUNT, YOU AGREE TO TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SET FORTH HEREIN, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.

 

1. Nature of Services.

 

The Services enable you to schedule on-line visits with healthcare providers who are licensed in one or more U.S. states via virtual care consultations (“Telemedicine Consultations”) and in-person visits in certain locations. The healthcare providers who are delivering the Telemedicine Consultations and in-person visits shall be collectively referred to herein as “Providers.” The Services are intended to allow you to ask Providers questions regarding non-emergency health-related issues relating to hair treatments. 

 

Certain features of the Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions (“Additional Terms”). We may present Additional Terms to you when you activate or use a feature to which Additional Terms apply (either in the form of disclaimers or notices, or a separate document), and your use of any feature constitutes your acceptance of these Additional Terms before using such feature. For example, Additional Terms apply to the Services, as set forth below. Unless otherwise stated in the Additional Terms, all Additional Terms are incorporated into these Terms. If you do not agree with the Additional Terms, you will not have access to the feature to which they relate. These Terms and Additional Terms apply equally. If any Additional Term is inconsistent with any provision of these Terms, the Additional Term will prevail only for the feature(s) to which that Additional Term applies.

​

​

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use and disclose information about you.

​

3. Eligibility to Use the Services.

4. Accounts, Account Security and Communication Preferences.

 

You may need to register for a user account ("Account") to access some or all of our Services. It is your responsibility to prevent disclosure of your username and password, and to change your password if you feel that its security has been compromised. You may change your password at any time. We shall not be liable or responsible for any damages that result from your failure to keep your username and/or password secure. You are responsible for all activity in your Account. If you permit others to use your Account credentials, you are responsible for the activities of such users that occur in connection with your Account.

5. Additional Terms that Specifically Apply to Telemedicine Consultations

​
 

Additional Terms – Telemedicine Consultations 

Dial 911 in the event of a medical emergency! The Telemedicine Consultations are not intended to provide instructions or help in the event of an emergency. If you believe your condition or situation is life-threatening, please call 911 or your emergency medical system immediately. Do not rely on the Telemedicine Consultations with urgent medical needs. We cannot guarantee response times if you choose to use the Telemedicine Consultations in the event of a medical emergency. 

 

Providers of Telemedicine Consultations:  

 

Pilaris has contracted with Sukhdeo Medical, PLLC to provide a virtual care service using the Sukhdeo Medical, PLLC platform to enable the delivery of Telemedicine Consultations by Sukhdeo Medical, PLLC’s Providers. To understand how our vendor, Sukhdeo Medical, PLLC, processes information provided through the Telemedicine Consultations on our behalf, please review the Sukhdeo Medical, PLLC’s Privacy Policy. None of the Providers delivering Telemedicine Consultations are employees or contractors of Pilaris Inc., as Pilaris Inc. does not provide, nor is responsible, for any healthcare services that are provided to you. 

 

Scope and Risks:  The scope of the services delivered via video consults will be at the sole discretion of the Provider who is interacting with you, with no guarantee of diagnosis, treatment, or prescription. The Provider will determine whether or not the condition being diagnosed and/or treated is appropriate for a telemedicine encounter. 

 

By accepting these Terms, you are hereby consenting to receive Telemedicine Consultations from a Provider who is located at a site that is remote from you. Telemedicine Consultations are a type of “telemedicine” or “telehealth” service.  As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine or other forms of telehealth services, which may include, without limitation, the following: (a) delays in medical evaluation and consultation or treatment may occur due to deficiencies or failures of the telehealth technology, or miscommunications between you and the Provider; (b) security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information; and (c) lack of access to your medical records or other information or ability to perform an in-person examination, which could result in negative health outcomes (e.g., adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions).

 

Your Location:  You certify that you are physically located in the state you select in the Services as your current location at the time of your receipt of the Telemedicine Consultations. Your ability to access and use the Telemedicine Consultations is conditioned on the truthfulness of this certification.  The Providers that you access through the Telemedicine Consultations rely upon this certification in order to interact with you. If your certification is inaccurate, you agree to indemnify Pilaris and the Providers with whom you interact from any resulting losses, damages, costs, or expenses.

 

Payment for the Virtual Care Service:  By providing a credit card or other payment method accepted by Pilaris (“Payment Method”), you are expressly agreeing that we are (or our service provider is) authorized to charge to the Payment Method for the total amount of your consultation fees for your use of the Telemedicine Consultations, together with any applicable taxes (collectively, as applicable, a “Purchase”). If the Payment Method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your Purchase may be suspended or cancelled. You must resolve any payment method problems before we proceed with your Purchase.  If a payment is not successfully settled and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your Purchase or account, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. 

 

You agree that authorizations to charge your Payment Method remains in effect until you cancel it in writing, and you agree to notify us of any changes to your Payment Method.  You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the Payment Method and will not dispute charges for the Telemedicine Consultations that correspond to consultation fees or the co-payment required by your health plan.  You acknowledge that the origination of Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) transactions to your account must comply with applicable provisions of U.S. law.  In the case of an ACH transaction rejected for insufficient funds, we may at its discretion attempt to process the charge again at any time within 30 days. 

 

We will collect applicable sales tax on services for which we determine we have a duty to collect sales tax. If a service is subject to sales tax, you agree that the amount of taxes shown at checkout may be adjusted. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates.

 

When scheduling an appointment with a provider, you will be required to provide a Payment Method.  If you choose to cancel your scheduled appointment, you must do so at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment time.  Should you choose to cancel your scheduled appointment within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment time, we may assess a reservation fee of up to the full cost of the canceled appointment. 

 

You acknowledge and agree that fees for consultations may increase at any time.

 

Consent:  By clicking “I accept” or by accessing or using the Telemedicine Consultations, you acknowledge and accept the risks identified above and the terms associated with the receipt of Telemedicine Consultations and you give your informed consent to receive such services under the Terms and the Additional Terms.

If you and Pilaris cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or Pilaris may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 19, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in Section 19.1, file a claim in court.

 

19.5 Process.

 
EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES IN WHICH EITHER PARTY SEEKS TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR SEEKS INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FOR THE ALLEGED UNLAWFUL USE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, TRADE NAMES, LOGOS, TRADE SECRETS OR PATENTS, YOU AND PILARIS AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE MUST BE COMMENCED OR FILED BY YOU OR PILARIS WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE THE DISPUTE AROSE, OTHERWISE THE UNDERLYING CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED (WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND PILARIS WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT SUCH CLAIM REGARDING THE DISPUTE). You and Pilaris agree that (a) any arbitration will occur (i) in the State of California, (ii) in the county where you reside, or (iii) telephonically, (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, as modified by the terms set forth herein (“AAA Rules”), which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (c) that the seat of the arbitration shall be Santa Clara County, California and that state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in Santa Clara County, California, have exclusive jurisdiction over any litigation in aid of arbitration and the enforcement of any arbitration awards. The parties shall attempt to agree on the single arbitrator to be appointed to resolve the dispute. If the parties are unable to reach agreement within 30 days after commencement of the arbitration with the AAA, the arbitrator selection process identified in the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules shall apply.  You may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court. Each party shall be responsible for its costs incurred in such arbitration, but the arbitrator shall not have the authority to re-allocate those costs in an award or otherwise. If you cannot afford to pay for the arbitration, you agree to provide us the option of paying the arbitrator before seeking to initiate any other form of dispute resolution, including litigation. As part of the arbitration, both you and Pilaris will have the opportunity to reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant and material to the Dispute, including the ability to request from each other, and third parties, documents, information and testimony that is relevant and material to the Dispute. 

 

19.6 Authority of Arbitrator.

 
As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. 

 

19.7 AAA Rules.

 
The AAA Rules and additional information about the AAA are available on the AAA website.  By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the AAA Rules, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the AAA Rules and any claim that the AAA Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

 

19.8 Severability.

 
If any term, clause or provision of this Section 19 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 19 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in Section 19.2 are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.

 

19.9 Opt-Out Right.

 

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 19 by writing to: contact@pilaris.com. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 20.

 

20. Governing Law.

 

These Terms, and your access to and use of the Services shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved on an individual basis in the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in Santa Clara County, California.
