3. Telehealth and Telecoaching Services.
As part of the Service, AliveCor may enable you to obtain certain telehealth consultations with a board-certified cardiologist or other provider (each a “Cardiologist” or “Provider") licensed in your state of residence through a group of affiliated medical practices:
- Florida Cardiac Health Medical Group, PA (dba Cardiac Health Medical Group) a Florida professional association (the Lead Entity);
- Laura Purdy MD, PC (dba Cardiac Health Medical Group) as California professional corporation;
- New Jersey Cardiac Health Medical Group, PA (dba Cardiac Health Medical Group) a New Jersey professional association; and
- Kansas Cardiac Health Medical Group, PA a Kansas professional association.
(collectively “Cardiac Health Medical Group") that provide medical services exclusively to our users and subscribers ("Telehealth Consultation"). Telehealth involves the delivery of healthcare services using electronic communications, information technology or other means between the Provider and a patient (you) who are not in the same physical space. While the provision of healthcare services using telehealth may offer certain potential benefits, there are also potential risks associated with the use of telehealth.
Another part of the Service may enable you to obtain asynchronous (not live, not in real time) reviews by a Cardiologist of an ECG recording selected by you ("Clinician Review") performed by our exclusive provider Cardiac Health Medical Group. In the Clinician Review the Cardiologist will review the ECG recording selected by you, make appropriate medical findings and diagnoses from the ECG recording, make notes, and generate a report that is provided back to you through KardiaComplete App, again not in real-time. Collectively the Clinician Review and the Telehealth Consultation may be referred to herein as “Telehealth Services".
In order to utilize all features of the Service, you will be required to review and agree to the informed consent from our exclusive medical service provider, Cardiac Health Medical Group to use the Telehealth Services, which consent will be presented to you separately as part of the onboarding process for the Service. The informed consent to use of Telehealth Services is hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference and constitutes a part of these Terms.
The services you receive from Providers (i.e., Telehealth Services) are not intended to replace your relationship with your personal physician or cardiologist or to replace your primary cardiology care. You may form an ongoing treatment relationship with some Providers. However, your initial consultation with a Provider will not necessarily give rise to an ongoing treatment relationship. You should seek emergency help or follow-up care when recommended by a Provider or when otherwise needed and continue to consult with your primary care physician and other healthcare professionals as recommended and needed.
There are potential risks associated with use of the telehealth services, which include but are not limited to:
- Delays in evaluation and treatment could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment and technologies, or provider availability.
- In the event of an inability to communicate as a result of a technological or equipment failure, please contact technical support at 1 (855) 338-8800 and/or write an email to support@alivecor.com.
- In rare events, your Provider may determine that the transmitted information is of inadequate quality, thus necessitating a rescheduled telehealth consult or an in-person meeting with your local primary care doctor.
- In very rare events, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information.
- By accepting these Terms you acknowledge the following:
- Benefits from the Services may be realized by you, but no results are guaranteed or assured.
- Laws that protect the privacy and security of health information also apply to telehealth, and that you have read the Notice of Privacy Practices from Cardiac Health Medical that describes these protections in more detail.
- The Cardiologist may determine that the Telehealth Consultation or Clinician Review are not appropriate for your needs and direct you to your seek care from a different provider.
4. Privacy Policy
The security and privacy of your data is AliveCor's number one priority. Our Privacy Policy, describes how we collect, use, disclose and share your information. By accepting these Terms, in addition to any other terms that reference our Privacy Policy or any other application privacy notices, you acknowledge you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.
5. Pricing, Charges and Payment Terms

If you are a health plan or employer provider, or if you are an individual using the Service under a health plan or employer provider, the pricing and payment terms are between the health plan or employer provider and AliveCor and such terms are set forth in a separate provider services agreement between the health plan or employer provider and AliveCor ("Covered Fees").

If you elect to use paid aspects of the Service, you agree to the pricing and payment terms as set forth in your account or made available to you online. AliveCor may add new services for additional fees and charges and to add or amend fees and charges for existing services.

- Optional Continued Coverage. If your health plan or employer provider has arranged with AliveCor to pay the fees or charges, or any portion of the fees or charges, then such fees or charges are Covered Fees and will be subject to a separate provider services agreement between AliveCor and the health plan or employer provider, as noted above. In the event that you are no longer eligible for such coverage under a health plan or from an employer provider (e.g., if the health plan is cancelled, the employer no longer offers such benefit or you are no longer employed by the employer provider) then you will have the option to (i) assume any and all unpaid fees and continue use of the Service or (ii) terminate your use of the Services. Please check with your health plan or employer provider to determine the level of coverage and/or Covered Fees that your health plan or employer provider will provide, if any, and if any additional fees apply to you. If you do not have insurance coverage for the Service, or if payment or coverage is denied by your health plan or employer provider, and you have used the Service, you acknowledge and agree that you will be personally responsible for all fees or charges. AliveCor offers no guarantee that your health plan or employer provider will be responsible for such fees or charges.
- Credit Card Payment. If you pay for any part of the Service by credit card, you hereby authorize AliveCor, or a third party appointed by AliveCor, to bill and charge the credit card indicated in your registration information for any fees and other amounts that may become due and payable (“Payment Processor”).

- Refunds. You may cancel your request for Service or account within fourteen (14) calendar days after registering for the Service and you may receive a refund for the Services for which you paid (the “Refund Period”). To request a refund within the Refund Period, you must email support@alivecor.com and include a mailing address where a refund check can be mailed. If you received any medical equipment (as described below), you will be refunded the amount you paid for the Service, less the amount paid for such equipment.

In the event that we suspend or terminate your account or these Terms, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund.

If you violate any provision of these Terms, your permission from us to use the Service will terminate automatically. In addition, AliveCor may in its sole discretion terminate your user account on the Service or suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time if you violate any provision of these Terms, if we no longer provide any part of the Services or for any other reason, with or without notice. We also reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Service at any time (including by limiting or discontinuing certain features of the Service), temporarily or permanently, without notice to you. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, we will have no liability on account of any change to the Service or any suspension or termination of your access to or use of the Service, provided that if AliveCor ceases to operate the Service and terminates your access to the Service accordingly, then you will be entitled to a pro-rated refund of any prepaid fees that you have paid to AliveCor for use of the Service. Upon the termination of your account or this agreement for any reason, unless prohibited under applicable law, AliveCor may at its option delete any data associated with your account.

13. Ownership; Proprietary Rights.
The Service is owned and operated by AliveCor. The visual interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, data, computer code (including source code or object code), products, software, services, and all other elements of the Service ("Site Content") provided by AliveCor are protected by intellectual property and other laws. All Site Content included in the Service is the property of AliveCor or our third-party licensors. Except as expressly authorized by AliveCor, you may not make use of the Site Content. AliveCor reserves all rights to the Site Content not granted expressly in these Terms.
14. No Medical Advice.
We act as a technology platform to connect you with Providers (e.g., Cardiac Health Medical Group) who may be available to provide you with certain non-emergency medical care. However, AliveCor is not itself a healthcare provider, and the Providers are solely responsible for providing you with any medical care and treatment you receive via the Service. We do not control or interfere with the practice of medicine by Providers, each of whom is responsible for the professional medical services he or she provides. By accepting these Terms and by using the Service, you are entering into a doctor-patient or other health care provider-patient relationship solely with one or more Provider(s) and not with AliveCor. The information provided by AliveCor as part of the Site Content and through the Service is for general informational purposes only. None of the Site Content should be considered medical advice or an endorsement, representation or warranty that any particular medication or treatment is safe, appropriate, or effective for you.
15. Indemnity.
To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you are responsible for your use of the Service, and you will indemnify, hold harmless, and, if so directed by AliveCor, defend AliveCor Entities from and against every claim, liability, damage, loss, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to, use of, or alleged use of, the Service; (b) your violation of any portion of these Terms, any representation, warranty, or agreement referenced in these Terms, or any applicable law or regulation; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right or publicity, confidentiality, other property, or privacy right; (d) any dispute or issue between you and any third party; and (e) all claims arising from or alleging fraud, intentional misconduct, criminal acts, or gross negligence committed by you. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, we reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of that claim.
16. Non-Secure Communications.
AliveCor Entities are required to comply with the federal healthcare privacy and security laws and maintain safeguards to protect the security of your health information. Additionally, the information you provide to your Provider during a medical consultation is legally confidential, except for certain legal exceptions as more fully described in Cardiac Health Medical Group's Notice of Privacy Practices. We devote considerable effort toward ensuring that your personal information is secure. Information regarding our use of health and other personal information is provided in our Privacy Policy and Notice of Privacy Practices. As part of providing you the Services, we will communicate to you via email and text message, including, without limitation, if you have enrolled in AliveCor's Text Messaging Services as set forth in Section 4. Email and text messages are not secure methods of communication and AliveCor Entities cannot ensure the security or confidentiality of messages sent by email and/or text message. Information, including personal health information, transmitted by us in email or text message will be encrypted, but information about you received from you or some other third party may not be encrypted and could be read by a third party. If you would prefer not to exchange personal health information via email or text message, please notify us at kcsupport@alivecor.com.

THE ALIVECOR ENTITIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE SERVICE, ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, AND ANY SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE ASSOCIATED OR USED WITH THE SERVICE, OR THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, INCLUDING: (A) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; (B) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE; AND (C) ANY WARRANTY AS TO WHETHER THE ECG DATA OR OTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON OR TRANSMITTED BY THE SERVICE IS TRUE, COMPLETE OR ACCURATE. YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ALIVECOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HEALTHCARE OR RELATED DECISIONS MADE BY YOU OR YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL BASED UPON DATA COLLECTED, TRANSMITTED OR DISPLAYED BY OR ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER SUCH DATA IS ACCURATE OR INACCURATE. THE ALIVECOR ENTITIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICE, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THOSE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED.
NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE ALIVECOR ENTITIES OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE, YOUR DEALING WITH ANY OTHER SERVICE USER, AND ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU USE THE SERVICE, AND USE, ACCESS, DOWNLOAD, OR OTHERWISE OBTAIN MATERIALS OR CONTENT THROUGH THE SERVICE AND ANY ASSOCIATED SITES OR SERVICES, AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY (INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE), OR THE LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE OR THE DOWNLOAD OR USE OF THAT MATERIAL OR CONTENT.
THE ABOVE PARAGRAPHS APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY PROHIBIT A DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, IN PARTICULAR A DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES PROVIDED OR IMPLIED BY LAW, SUCH AS LEGAL GUARANTEES OF CONFORMITY FOR GOODS OFFERED TO CONSUMERS IN THE EU, AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
18. Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT WILL THE ALIVECOR ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY ALIVECOR ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE EXCLUDED DAMAGES ALSO INCLUDE WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF SAVINGS OR REVENUE; LOSS OF PROFIT; LOSS OF USE; LOSS OF LIFE OR HEALTH, THE CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES; AND ANY COST OF ANY SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES.
IF ALIVECOR CANNOT LAWFULLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY OF THE FOREGOING DAMAGES, THEN THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE ALIVECOR ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO USE THE SERVICE OR $100, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN WHICH CASE SUCH LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO YOU TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED IN SUCH JURISDICTION. FURTHERMORE, NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS OR EXCLUDES ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED BY LAW, SUCH AS LIABILITY FOR INTENTIONAL VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER.
EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 18 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
19. Governing Law and Competent Courts.
To the fullest extent permitted pursuant to applicable law, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms, then you and AliveCor agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Santa Clara County, California for the purpose of litigating any dispute.
20. General.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and AliveCor regarding your use of the Service. Except as expressly permitted herein, these Terms may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of all parties to these Terms. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld at AliveCor's sole discretion. Any attempted assignment by you without such consent shall be null and void. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. Upon termination of these Terms, Sections 8-10, 13, 18, 19, and 20- 25, along with the Privacy Policy, Notice of Privacy Practices and any other accompanying agreements, will survive.
21. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU MAY SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
- Generally. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and in the interest of resolving disputes between you and AliveCor in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and AliveCor agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration, unless you are a consumer located in a jurisdiction that prohibits the exclusive use of arbitration for dispute resolution.
Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND ALIVECOR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. - Opt-Out of Agreement to Arbitrate: You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting support@alivecor.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms of Service and stating that you (include your first and last name, and email address used to register for the Service) decline this arbitration agreement.
- Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 21.1, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
- Arbitrator. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any arbitration between you and AliveCor will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting AliveCor.
- Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail ("Notice"). AliveCor's address for Notice is: AliveCor, Inc., 189 Bernardo Street, Suite 100 Mountain View, CA 94043 USA. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or AliveCor may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or AliveCor must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, AliveCor will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by AliveCor in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator's award; or (iii) $1,000.
- Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, AliveCor will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location, to be agreed upon, in Santa Clara County, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse AliveCor for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
- No Class Actions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND ALIVECOR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and AliveCor agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law.
- Claims. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, no action arising out of, in connection with, or relating to these Terms shall be brought by you more than one (1) year after the accrual of the cause of action. This period shall not be extended for any reason, except by the written consent of both parties. All statutes or provisions of law which would toll or otherwise affect the running of the period of limitation are hereby waived, and no such statute or provision of law shall operate to extend the period limited in this paragraph, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.
- Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If AliveCor makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to AliveCor's address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to AliveCor's address for Notice, in which case your account with AliveCor will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
- Enforceability. If Section 21.7 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 21 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 21 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 19 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
22. Notices; Consent to Electronic Communications.
By using the Service, you consent to receiving certain electronic communications from us as further described in the Privacy Policy. Please read the Privacy Policy to learn more about our electronic communications practices. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing. All notices from AliveCor intended for receipt by You shall be deemed delivered and effective when sent to the email address provided by You during the registration process or when posted to and made available to you on the Service. If you change the email address provided in connection with your registration to access and use the Service, you must update your address in accordance with the procedures set forth on the Service. By providing your mobile number to us, you consent to receive text messages at that number as requested for account verification, message notifications, and other purposes related to the Service. While we do not charge a fee for text messages, your carrier may charge standard messaging, data, and other fees. You are responsible for those charges. We may send and receive text messages through cellular telephone operators or other networks, and the level of reliability may vary. We are not responsible for the timeliness or final delivery of the message, as this is outside our control and is the responsibility of the cellular telephone operator or other networks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will use your mobile number in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
