Terms of Service

What words our lawyers use:

These Terms of Service (“Terms of Use”) apply to healthcare and content providers and govern their use of the online interfaces and properties (e.g., websites and mobile applications) owned and controlled by Doxy.me Inc. (“Doxy.me”), including the https://doxy.me website (the “Site”) and the services available to users through the Site (“Services”). “Providers” “You” “your” and similar terms refer to healthcare and content providers who access or use the Site and/or Services. Your compliance with these Terms of Use is a condition to your use of the Site and/or Services.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING “ACCEPT” OR ACCESSING THE SITE AND/OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE OR SERVICES. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OR BY ACCESSING THE SITE OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF USE INCLUDING THE PRIVACY POLICY REFERENCED BELOW. IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE OR DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF USE, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO ACCESS THE SITE OR USE THE SERVICES.

Please also review the Doxy.me Privacy Policy. It contains a description of our privacy practices and policies, including how we collect and handle your information. 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.

What this means in plain English: (however, the words our lawyers use are controlling and binding):

These are the rules to use this site, our Terms of Service or Terms of Use (call it what you want). Also, be sure to read our Privacy Policy to understand the details of how we use the data we may collect about you. If you don’t like or agree to these Terms of Use and or our Privacy Policy, do not use our Site or Services.

All pages within this Site and any material made available by Doxy.me for download are the property of Doxy.me, or its licensors or suppliers, as applicable. The Site is protected by the United States 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 Doxy.me. You may not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose, or deep linking to, any name, trademarks, service marks, logo, Content or other proprietary information (including; images, text, page layout, or form) of Doxy.me without our express written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, materials you post in your Virtual Waiting Room are yours alone and you are solely responsible for that content. See Section 4, below for more about your Virtual Waiting Room.

We own this website and its content; do not steal it. The content you post on your Virtual Waiting Room is yours alone.

To be a healthcare 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 healthcare provider or other professional using the Site. Your relationship with the Doxy.me users (including your patients/clients) is directly between you and the patient. The patient will never have a physician-patient relationship with Doxy.me. Doxy.me does not practice medicine or any other licensed profession and offers no medical or other professional services. As set forth more fully in Section 10, Provider is solely responsible for all agreements, consents, notices and other interactions with patients and other consumers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Provider is solely responsible for all billings and collections from patients and other consumers, and Doxy.me shall have no liability whatsoever to Provider concerning any amounts owed by any patient or other consumers to Provider.

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

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 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, Provider releases Doxy.me and waives all potential claims against Doxy.me as a result of the Provider’s use of the Site and Services, and the provision of services to Provider’s patients. As a result of the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the patient care process, and if applicable and allowed by law, Provider agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Doxy.me 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 Doxy.me, 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 Doxy.me’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 Doxy.me or any defect in the Site or Services. Doxy.me will promptly notify Provider in writing of any claim subject to this indemnification, promptly provide Provider with the information reasonably required for the defense of the same, and grant to Provider exclusive control over its defense at Providers expense. Doxy.me reserves the right to appear and defend any actions in which it is named as a party. Provider agrees to pay and reimburse Doxy.me’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with such a suit.

If you, your patients or any third party seeking to recover any sums from Doxy.me arising from your use of Doxy.me or treatment you provide a patient while using Doxy.me, you will be solely responsible and pay any such sums.

The Services available through the Doxy.me Site includes a virtual waiting room (“Virtual Waiting Room”). Just like the waiting room in a physical office, anyone can enter your Virtual Waiting Room. As such, content posted on your Virtual Waiting Room is available to and can be viewed by anyone who enters. The Site provides you with the ability to post content on and links to other sites through the Virtual Waiting Room. The content which you post on your Virtual Waiting Room and the links to other sites you make available on your Virtual Waiting Room is yours and yours alone. Provided that the content posted is not in violation of Section 1 of these Terms of Use, Doxy.me will not claim any rights or interests in such content. By posting such content or links, you agree to be solely responsible for such content and links and agree to defend, indemnify (if applicable and allowed by law) and hold Doxy.me harmless as provided of in Section 11, below.

The content you post on your Virtual Waiting Room and links to other sites you include on your Virtual Waiting Room are yours alone. You are solely responsible for such content and links.

Doxy.me will investigate occurrences that may involve such violations and may involve, and cooperate with, law enforcement authorities in prosecuting users who are involved in such violations. You agree not to use any device, software or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of this Site or any activity being conducted on this Site.

In the event access to the Site or a portion, thereof is limited requiring a user ID and password (“Protected Areas”), you agree to access Protected Areas using only your user ID and password as provided to you by Doxy.me. You agree to protect the confidentiality of your user ID and password, and not to share or disclose your user ID or password to any third party. You agree that you are fully responsible for all activities occurring under your user ID. Your access to the Site may be revoked by Doxy.me at any time with or without cause. You agree to defend, indemnify (if applicable and allowed by law) and hold Doxy.me harmless from and against all third party claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) against or incurred by Doxy.me arising out of your breach of these Terms of Use or violation of applicable law, your use or access of the Site, or access by anyone accessing the Site using your user ID and password.

Don’t attempt to hack the Site. Don’t share your username and password with anyone. Internet safety is important to us and for you.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms of Use and your payment of any applicable fees, Doxy.me or its content providers grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and make use of the Doxy.me Services. In the event you have entered into a separate Platform Subscription Agreement or Master Services Agreement with Doxy.me (the “Services Agreement”), the terms of the Services Agreement shall also apply to your use of the Site and the Services. In the event of a conflict between the Services Agreement and these Terms of Use, the terms of the Services Agreement shall prevail. All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms of Use or any Service Terms are reserved and retained by Doxy.me or its licensors, suppliers, publishers, rights holders, or other content providers. No Doxy.me Service, nor any part of any Doxy.me Service may be reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, resold, visited, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose except as expressly authorized in writing by Doxy.me. You may not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any trademark, logo, or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout, or form) of Doxy.me without express written consent. You may not use any meta tags or any other “hidden text” utilizing Doxy.me’s name or trademarks without the express written consent of Doxy.me. You may not misuse the Doxy.me Services. You may use the Doxy.me Services only as permitted by law. Your access to the Site and Services and the licenses granted by Doxy.me may be terminated by Doxy.me if you do not comply with these Terms of Use.

We are not liable if something bad happens while using the site.

In the event of any dispute or claim relating to the Site, the Services or these Terms of Use, you agree to the resolution of such dispute in the state or federal courts located in Rochester, New York. These Terms of Use shall be governed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York State (excluding its conflicts of laws principles).

Our goal is for you to be successful when using Doxy.me for telemedicine, but we understand that technology doesn’t always cooperate or that other issues can arise, and as a result, we’ve made our Refund Policy as simple as possible.

Please let us know, and we’ll make it right for you.

This site is meant to help transmit sensitive data and we’ve done our best to protect that data in our hands. But you are also a part of the solution so: use a strong password; do not share your login credentials; update your software regularly; install and use anti-virus and firewall software (but whitelist Doxy.me!); do not use Doxy.me in a public place and still expect people can’t hear what you are talking about.

Be smart with your personal security choices.

We offer a free service as a benefit to the community. When you let other people share your account; delete your account and sign up again to get another 30 free days; have your whole employee base on our Free or Pro plans etc., you are taking advantage of our system. If we think you are doing this, we’ll probably warn you. If you don’t respond or change behavior, we’ll delete your account and prevent you from using our Site and Services again. If you have more than one (1) person, employee, or independent contractor in your organization that has accounts with us, you must be on a Clinic plan.

Don’t take advantage of us. It’s very expensive to run a modern software company and we have to pay the bills somehow right?
