- Our Communication Practices Generally.
- Contacting You by Telephone, Text, Email or Videoconference. If you provide your telephone number, cellphone number or email address to us in connection with your use of the Service, and elect to receive phone calls, text messages or emails from us, we may contact you by phone, by text and/or by email in connection with the Service. We may also contact you via videoconference or other electronic means. We communicate with you by phone, text message and email because these forms of communication are typically more convenient for users of the Service, and regular, consistent follow-up is important for the implementation and success of any healthcare treatment plan.
- Recording Phone Calls, Text Messages, Emails, Videoconferences or Other Electronic Conversations. You acknowledge and agree that we may monitor and record the phone calls, text messages, emails, videoconferences or other electronic conversations you make to us or that you receive from our representatives in connection with the Service for purposes of, among other things, training and quality improvement. By agreeing to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, you authorize us to monitor and record phone calls, text messages, emails, videoconferences or other electronic conversations that you make to us or that you receive from our representatives in connection with the Service. We note that we will not record a phone call or videoconference that includes a psychiatric evaluation.
- Our Communication Practices with regard to Protected Health Information.
- Protected Health Information and Electronic Communications. When we contact you by phone, text or email you may provide us with Protected Health Information. There are risks involved any time your Protected Health Information is communicated between two different parties, however, these risks are heightened when the communication is by means of an online or electronic communication method, such as phone, text message or email. It is important that you consider these risks prior to communicating with us by phone, text message or email. For example, communications sent by phone, text message or email may:
- Travel much further than you planned (e.g., online communications can be forwarded, intercepted, or even changed without your knowledge);
- Be easier to falsify than handwritten or signed hard copies (e.g., a dishonest person could attempt to impersonate you);
- Be more permanent (e.g., backup copies may exist on a computer or in cyberspace, even after you have deleted your copies);
- Not be private simply because it relates to your own medical information (e.g., employers and online services have a right to inspect and keep online communications transmitted through their system).
- It is very important that you consider these risks each time that you plan to communicate with any member of our staff or personnel by phone, text message or email. While the likelihood of risks associated with the use of the phone, text message or email, particularly in a secure environment, is substantially reduced, the risks are nonetheless real and very important to understand.
- Please note that communications by phone, text message or email are additional communication options and not a replacement for traditional communication methods with your physician or other healthcare providers. It is your choice whether to communicate with us by phone, text message or email, and at any time, you may stop communication with us and our staff by phone, text message or email. We are not responsible or liable for any improper disclosure of confidential information caused by you or an independent third party. Please note that any follow-up communications are solely your responsibility. You are also responsible for scheduling any necessary appointments and for determining if an unanswered phone call, text message or email that you sent was not received by us.
- Safeguarding Your Protected Health Information. We will apply reasonable safeguards to protect any of your Protected Health Information that is transmitted by phone, text message or email, and all such information will be handled in accordance with our PHI Privacy Policy. We will do our best to keep your confidential information secure, but it is important to note that any safeguards or protections that we implement are not perfect. In addition to the steps that we are taking to secure your information, we would advise that you communicate in a way that minimizes the potential risks associated with providing information by phone, text message or email. For example, you should ensure that each text message or email that you send to us is correctly addressed and that we have your correct phone number or email address in case of a follow-up message. You should also keep track of who has access to your email account so that only you, or someone you authorize, can see the messages you receive from us.
- Protected Health Information and Electronic Communications. When we contact you by phone, text or email you may provide us with Protected Health Information. There are risks involved any time your Protected Health Information is communicated between two different parties, however, these risks are heightened when the communication is by means of an online or electronic communication method, such as phone, text message or email. It is important that you consider these risks prior to communicating with us by phone, text message or email. For example, communications sent by phone, text message or email may:

- Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Class Remedies
- Arbitration. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (including its formation, performance and breach) and the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes of the AAA, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost.
- The parties understand that, absent this mandatory 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.
- Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right 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 an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
- Exception – Litigation of Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
- Thirty Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: Tamber Health, P.O. Box 178, Crystal Bay, MN 55323.
