Any unauthorized reproduction, modification, distribution, public display or public performance of any Site Content is strictly prohibited. We and our suppliers reserve all rights not granted in these Terms. Subject to the restrictions set forth in these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sub licensable, revocable license to install and use the App in object code format on devices that you own or control, solely for use with the Services.

  6. Over-read Service

A. General. We arrange for a third party medical professional ECG analysis group to provide professional ECG analysis services (“Over-read Service”) to you or your Doctor or Advanced Professional Clinician, which included Physicians' Assistants (PAs)  and Registered Nurses (RNs), through the Service for an additional fee or for no fee. With your request and consent we send your data necessary to perform the requested service to the Over-read Service, which includes qualified and certified ECG readers and Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities (IDTFs). The Over-read Service performs the requested service and electronically transmits the back to our systems, and we make the report available to you within the Service. By accepting these Terms, you hereby agree to enrollment in the Over-read Service, although your use of the Over-read Service is optional. You or your insurance will only be charged for the Over-read Service when and if you use the service. We reserve the right to change the Over-read Service providers or discontinue one or more of the Over-read Service offerings. 

B. Prescriptions. The US FDA has approved the sale for ECG Check for both Over the Counter (OTC) use and with a medical Prescription (Rx). Users in the United States of America (USA) only are required by the FDA to have a prescription from their Doctor or from an Advance Practice Clinician, which includes Physician's Assistants (PAs) and Registered Nurses (RNs), in order to see their ECG (heart rhythm waveforms) on their mobile device.  

C. Reports. You may use the Service to generate reports of algorithmic outputs from our FDA-cleared algorithms using your data. Any reports from our FDA-cleared algorithms or from the Over-read Service serve the same purpose: to provide you more information with which to consult your healthcare professional, not as a substitute to consulting your healthcare professional and do not suggest a diagnosis. These reports are intended as information for you and to be used as a tool by your physician to provide proper diagnosis and treatment, taking into account your complete medical history. Diagnosis based on your data can only be accomplished by your physician. It is your responsibility to present your medical data to your physician for proper analysis and diagnosis. 

D. ECG Recordings. You have the option to obtain an ECG recording from your device at any time. Your ECG recordings are subject to multiple factors related to your health and activities. We and the Clinician Review Service providers make no guarantees of the accuracy or clinical significance of the interpretation of your data. Please be aware that your physician may disagree with the interpretation of your data. If you decide to use the Clinician Review Service, we will share your information with the Clinician Review Service when you give permission through the Service. 

E. Restrictions. Due to telemedicine restrictions, your local jurisdiction may restrict your ability to use the Clinician Review Service. Since you are using a mobile device to collect your data, it is your responsibility to ensure the Clinician Review Service is legal according to your local telemedicine laws.

7. Personalized Surveillance Service. Under some circumstances, we may present you with notifications or suggested actions based on our analysis of your historical data and other information you have provided to us such as ‘recordings made in the past seven days". For example, we may suggest that you periodically submit your data to the Clinical Interpretation Service for continued surveillance of your heart health. Those notifications or suggested actions, or lack thereof, are not an indication of your health, nor are those notifications or suggested actions intended to replace the opinion of your physician. It is your responsibility to present your data to your physician, and to discuss with your physician what the proper course of action is based on your medical history. We may also allow you to schedule reminder notices using the Service. We make no representations about accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of any push notifications, as parts of the process are outside of our control. You accept that any reliance on these reminders will be at your own risk, and we disclaim all liability arising from your use of them. You agree that we may send push notifications to your mobile device for Service-related or marketing purposes, if they are enabled and in accordance with the Privacy Policy. You may turn off push notifications through your device settings.

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 we regarding your use of the Service. Except as expressly permitted above, 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 our 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, 12, 13, 18, 19, and 21- 25, along with the Privacy Policy and any other accompanying agreements, will survive. 

24. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration 

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU MAY SEEK RELIEF FROM US. 

A. Generally. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and in the interest of resolving disputes between you and the Company in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and we 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. 

B. Opt-Out of Agreement to Arbitrate: You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting us 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. 

C. Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 24A, 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. 

D. Arbitrator. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any arbitration between you and the Company 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 the Company. 

E. 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”). Cardiac Designs' address for Notice is: Cardiac Designs Inc., 695 Minnesota Street, San Francisco CA 94107 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 the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us 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, We 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 us in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000. 

F. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, we 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 San Francisco, 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 us 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. 

G. No Class Actions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND THE COMPANY 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 the Company 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. 

H. 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. 

I. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If we make any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to our address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to our address for Notice, in which case your account with us will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive. 

J. Enforceability. If Section 24G is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 24 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 24 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 22 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms. 

25. 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 us 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.
