By selecting “I accept” below and completing the checkout process, you agree that the following terms and conditions (the “Agreement”) shall apply with respect to all healthcare and wellness services (“Services”) provided by or through Unify Select Health, Inc. or any of its affiliated medical practices (together, “Unify Select”) pursuant to the Membership (defined below) you have selected and purchased at checkout. It is expressly agreed that this Agreement shall constitute a legal and binding instrument with the same effect as a document originally signed by you and Unify Select.
1. Membership
In consideration of a periodic fee (a “Membership Fee”), Unify Select provides Services to individual registered participants (“Members”) pursuant to a range of membership programs (each a “Membership”) as described on the Unify Select website, www.UnifySelect.com (the “Unify Select Website”). Unify Select may vary or update the features and pricing of its Memberships from time to time at its sole discretion.
2. Membership Fee
In order to become a Member, you will select a specific Membership at checkout, and you shall be obligated to pay to Unify Select the Membership Fee specified for the selected Membership. The Membership Fee is generally a non-refundable annual fee, required to be paid in advance; provided, however, that, Unify Select may from time to time vary its fee structure or offer promotional or group rates. Unify Select does not guaranty that Membership Fee paid for any Membership will be available for any other Membership or any renewal or subsequent Membership.
You acknowledge that no part of the Membership shall be paid in consideration for medical services covered by your insurer, health plan or by any governmental program, including Medicare. You agree to bear sole financial responsibility for the Membership Fee. All or a portion of your Membership Fee may be purchased or reimbursed by a third party, such as an employer. Notwithstanding such third-party payment or reimbursement, you shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Nothing contained in this Agreement, including any compensation paid or payable, is intended or shall be construed: (i) to require, influence, or otherwise induce or solicit either party regarding referrals of business, or recommending the ordering of any items or services, of any kind whatsoever to the other party or any of its affiliates, or to any other person, or otherwise generate business between the parties; or (ii) to interfere with your right to choose your own health care.
3. Services and Additional/Excluded Services
Upon payment of the Membership Fee specified at checkout for the level of Membership you have selected, Unify Select will make available to you the opportunity to access the Services specified as being included at that level of Membership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the additional practice policies and procedures described on the Unify Select Website or notified to you by Unify Select from time to time.
Services not specified as being included at the level of Membership selected and paid for are not covered by the Membership Fee. If you require healthcare or other services, procedures or products outside of those specified as being included at the level of Membership selected and paid for (“Additional Services”), you will be solely responsible for the cost of such healthcare or other services. Unify Select may refer you to another physician or other healthcare practitioner for Additional Services. Alternatively, Unify Select in its sole discretion may provide such Additional Services for an additional fee. Your insurance, if any, may or may not cover the costs of Additional Services. Additional Services may include, without limitation, the following:
• Emergency and specialist medical services.
• Laboratory tests whether performed by Unify Select.
• Supplements purchased through Unify Select or other sources.
• Healthcare services provided other than by Unify Select.
• Non-medical services recommended by Unify Select, such as acupuncture and fitness classes.
• Medications whether prescribed or over-the-counter.
4. Billing
The Membership Fee is generally a non-refundable annual fee, required to be paid at checkout in advance of inception of Membership and each renewal thereof. However, Unify Select may offer periodic payment programs, in which case payments will be billed monthly, quarterly or semi-annually as specified by Unify Select in connection with the payment program selected. If Additional Services are performed by Unify Select, Unify Select may require payment for such Additional Services in advance of performance or in accordance with the billing policies adopted by Unify Select from time to time. You acknowledge and agree that Unify Select does not bill insurance companies. Unify Select will not submit a medical claim to insurance on your behalf and cannot assist you with claim resolution.
5. Payments and Credit Card Authorization
To the extent that you provide Unify Select with your credit card or other payment information for payments with respect to your Membership, Unify Select shall be authorized to charge your credit card for any unpaid Membership Fee, Membership Fees due on renewal of Membership and fees for Additional Services provided by Unify Select to you. If you have elected to pay your Membership Fee pursuant to a periodic payment program offered by Unify Select, Unify Select shall be authorized to charge the credit card you have provided at due date of each periodic payment without separate authorization in order to do so. Unify Select shall not require separate authorization for payment upon renewal of Membership. You shall not initiate any dispute or chargeback to Unify Select’s account without Unify Select’s prior written consent and you shall not cancel the credit card that you have provided to Unify Select without first providing Unify Select the details for a replacement credit card. You will be responsible for any fees or costs incurred by Unify Select in connection with collection, including fees associated with recouping payment on chargebacks. You will update Unify Select in advance in the event of a change in your credit card information, including changes to the name on your card, your billing address and your reference phone number.
6. Refunds and Cancellation
Except as otherwise specified by Unify Select at checkout, Membership Fees are non-refundable, and Membership is non-cancelable. Once checkout or renewal is complete you may not change the Membership level selected without the prior consent of Unify Select which may be granted or withheld at Unify Select’s discretion and may require payment of an increased Membership Fee.
Unify Select provides Members the opportunity to access certain Services subject to the terms of this Agreement and the additional practice policies and procedures described on the Unify Select Website or notified to you by Unify Select from time to time. So long as Unify Select has made such Services available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the additional practice policies and procedures described on the Unify Select Website or notified to you by Unify Select from time to time, your failure to avail yourself of such Services is not grounds for cancellation or refund/credit. Unify Select shall have no liability or responsibility for interruptions in the availability of or access to Services outside of Unify Select’s control and such interruptions shall not be grounds for cancellation or refund/credit.
7. Automatic Renewal and Termination.
Unless otherwise specified by Unify Select at checkout, Membership has a one (1) year term and the Membership Fee covers that period. Except as otherwise specified by Unify Select in writing, the term specified for Membership at checkout will automatically renew for successive periods of the same length at the Membership Fee specified on the Unify Select Website for your level of Membership. You expressly consent to auto renewal of Membership and related charges; provided, however, that you may opt out of automatic renewal at any time prior to the date that is thirty (30) days in advance of the renewal date by logging in to your Unify Select Member account and changing your account settings to opt out of auto-renewal or by notifying Unify Select in writing at the notice address specified in this Agreement. Such notice must include a specific request for auto renewal opt-out.
Unify Select may terminate your Membership, at any time, upon:
• your breach of this Agreement or Unify Select policy or procedure described on the Unify Select Website or notified to you by Unify Select from time to time, if such breach is not cured within 10 days of written notice; or
• your non-payment of fees when due or having an outstanding balance of $100 or greater if not paid within 10 days after written request to do so; or
• your harassment, threatening behavior or any other action by you which in Unify Select’s reasonable discretion places Unify Select personnel at risk of harm.
8. Distance Members, Telemedicine/Electronic Communication
