1. Nutrisense Is Not A Healthcare Provider
   

Nutrisense does not provide medical services. We provide a platform to facilitate a consultation between affiliated healthcare providers (“Providers”) and you. The Consent to Telehealth services is between you and the Providers. The health and wellness resources made available through our Services are not a substitute for direct, in-person health care services in all cases. You acknowledge and agree that we do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. You acknowledge and agree that your own healthcare professionals are solely responsible for and will have complete authority, responsibility, supervision, and control over the provision of any medical services. The decision to focus on diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or both, rests with you and your own healthcare professionals. You understand that throughout any communication or consultation with a Provider via the Services, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with us.

The Website, the App, and the Services are for information purposes only and do not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or recommendations of any kind. You should always seek the advice of your own qualified health care professionals with any questions or concerns you may have regarding any medical needs or conditions. The Website, the App, and the Services are not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or treatment. Reliance on any information appearing on the Website and or the App is solely your decision and at your own risk.

2. Consent to Telemedicine Services.

Telemedicine is the use of electronic communications to enable health care providers at different locations to share individual patient medical information for the purpose of improving patient care. Providers may include primary care practitioners, specialists, and/or subspecialists. The information may be used to determine eligibility for a prescription and, where indicated, to provide such prescription. Please see the Consent to Telemedicine for a full description of the benefits and risks of telemedicine use. The Consent to Telemedicine is hereby incorporated into these Terms of Service by reference and constitutes a part of these Terms of Service.

By accepting these Terms, you agree and consent to us, our affiliates, or health care providers sending you disclosures, notices, messages, reports, and other communications which you agree are your sole responsibility to monitor.
