It is incorporated in and is a part of these Terms of Use. If you use the Site or Services, you are also accepting the Privacy Policy.

1. Ownership Of The Site

All pages within this Site and any material made available by AcuteDoctor.com for download are the property of AcuteDoctor.com, or its licensors or suppliers, as applicable. The Site is protected by the EU and international copyright and trademark laws. The Contents of the Site, including without limitation the files, documents, text, photographs, images, audio, and video, and any materials accessed through or made available for use or download through the Site (“Content”) may not be copied, distributed, modified, reproduced, published or used, in whole or in part, except for purposes authorized or approved in writing by AcuteDoctor.com. You may not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose, or deep-link to, any name, trademarks, service marks, logo, Content, or other proprietary information (including; images, text, page layout, or form) of AcuteDoctor.com without our express written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, materials you post in your Virtual Conferencing/Video room are yours alone and you are solely responsible for that content. See Section 5, below for more about your Virtual Conferencing/Video room.

We own this website and its content. The content you post on your Virtual Conferencing/Video room is yours alone.

2. Medical Providers

To be a medical care provider using the Site (“Provider”) you must agree to comply with all laws, medical or other board rules, or other rules and regulations applicable to you as a Medical care provider or other professional using the Site. Your relationship with the AcuteDoctor.com users (including your patients/clients) is directly between you and the patient. The patient will never have a physician-patient relationship with AcuteDoctor.com. AcuteDoctor.com does not practice medicine or any other licensed profession and offers no medical or other professional services. As set forth more fully in Section 11, Medical Provider is solely responsible for all agreements, consents, notices, and other interactions with patients and other consumers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Medical Provider is solely responsible for all billings and collections from patients and other consumers, and AcuteDoctor.com shall have no liability whatsoever to Medical Provider concerning any amounts owed by any patient or other consumers to Provider.

If you use our Site to provide medical services to others we call you a “Medical Provider”. You agree to do so in a legal way and follow all rules and regulations you are governed by. AcuteDoctor.com does not provide services to your patients, clients, or anyone other than you the Medical Provider.

3. Charges for services regarding Patients
   Patients will be informed of the fee to be charged when patients select a Medical provider. Fees may vary from provider to provider. Patients will be asked to supply credit card information, which will be verified prior to patient online visit. Patient will not be able to use AcuteDoctor.com Online to communicate with a medical care provider if the credit card information provided by the patient is inaccurate or if the credit card is declined.

In the event there is a connection disruption within the first ninety (90) seconds of the visit, no charge will be incurred. Thereafter, if there is an interruption, but your selected provider remains connected, the stated charge will still be made. In the event the selected provider loses the connection at any point in the visit, a charge may or may not be incurred. You will not be charged any fee other than the fee for your visit with your selected medical Provider.

In order to facilitate payment for patient online visits, AcuteDoctor.com will share patient credit card information and related personal information to its designated credit card payment processor. This information is shared solely for the purpose of collecting the fee.

4. Independent Professional Judgment and Indemnification

The Provider will use the Site and Services only in accordance with applicable standards of good professional practice. While software products such as the Site and Services can facilitate and improve the quality of service that medical Provider and its personnel offer to patients, many factors, including the provider/patient relationship can affect a patient outcome, and with intricate and interdependent technologies and complex decision-making it is often difficult or impossible to accurately determine what the factors were and in what proportion they affected an outcome. Provider shall be solely responsible for its use of the Site and Services, and the provision of services to Provider’s patients. In this regard, the medical Provider releases AcuteDoctor.com and waives all potential claims against AcuteDoctor.com as a result of the Provider’s use of the Site and Services, and the provision of services to the Provider’s patients. As a result of the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the patient care process, and if applicable and allowed by law, medical Provider agrees to defend, indemnify and hold AcuteDoctor.com harmless from any claim by or on behalf of any patient of Provider or its personnel, or by or on behalf of any other third party or person claiming damage by virtue of a familial or financial relationship with such a patient, which is brought against AcuteDoctor.com, regardless of the cause if such claim arises for any reason whatsoever, out of the use or operation of the Site and Services. To the extent applicable, Provider will obtain AcuteDoctor.com’s prior written consent to any settlement or judgment in which Provider agrees to or which otherwise provides or implies any finding of fault of AcuteDoctor.com or any defect in the Site or Services. AcuteDoctor.com will promptly notify the medical Provider in writing of any claim subject to this indemnification, promptly provide medical Provider with the information reasonably required for the defense of the same, and grant to medical Provider exclusive control over its defense at the Providers expense. AcuteDoctor.com reserves the right to appear and defend any actions in which it is named as a party. Medical Provider agrees to pay and reimburse AcuteDoctor.com’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with such a suit.

If medical provider, or its patients, or any third party seeking to recover any sums from AcuteDoctor.com arising from medical provider´s use of AcuteDoctor.com or treatment that medical provider provides a patient while using AcuteDoctor.com, the Medical provider will be solely responsible and pay any such sums.
