By your accessing and/or using the Services, we will collect information “Personal Information” about you as further defined below and in accordance with our Privacy Policy. If you do not want us to have your Personal Information, do not use the Services. Your Personal Information includes, but is not limited to your (i) name, (ii) contact details including mobile phone number, email, mailing, billing and business addresses, phone and fax numbers, (iii) current medical needs and sensitive personal health information that you choose to provide to Vim, (iv) medical insurance information including member and group numbers, (v) emergency contact information, (vi) other data that can be used to personally identify or contact you. In connection with providing you with Services , you understand and agree that we may use and disclose your Personal Information to your selected healthcare providers. YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZE VIM, ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND OTHERS OPERATING ON ITS BEHALF TO USE, STORE, DISCLOSE, COLLECT, RETAIN, RECEIVE, ANALYZE AND OBTAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION INCLUDING HEALTH RELATED AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION AS PERMITTED HEREUNDER INCLUDING TO YOUR SELECTED HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS.
The Services organize and make available selected information, including healthcare provider profiles, objective and subjective ratings, feedback, comments and opinions, indexes, scorecards, materials and third-party data, to help you make informed choices in your search to independently assess particular healthcare providers. Such information is compiled from a variety of sources then processed using various empirical and proprietary algorithms and processes. ALL INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE SITE, OR MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE SERVICES, INCLUDING INFORMATION RELATING TO HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, MEDICAL AND HEALTH CONDITIONS AND TREATMENTS, OTHER USER’S OPINIONS, IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. Information provided via the Services (i) should not be considered complete and is not intended to be used in place of a patient visit, call, consultation or advice of a healthcare provider; (ii) is not intended to provide medical advice for any specific medical condition you may have; (iii) should not be construed as a recommendation or endorsement of a particular healthcare provider as such information may consist of statements of opinion and not statements of fact. We encourage you to independently verify all information so that you may make an informed decision prior to utilizing any specific healthcare provider. You assume all responsibility in connection with choosing any healthcare provider, whether or not you obtained information about such healthcare provider via the Services. By using the Services, you specifically acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for or liable in any advice, treatment or other services rendered by any healthcare provider, or for any claims (malpractice or otherwise) that may arise directly or indirectly from any such advice, treatment or other services. For avoidance of doubt, the healthcare provider is responsible for the appropriateness and quality of the services they provide. If you have chosen to receive notifications from Vim, we may call you and/or send you emails and/or text messages which will provide you with important information and/or suggestions, based on your information. Procedures, products, devices and services presented, discussed and/or marketed via the Services, either paid or unpaid, are not applicable to all individuals and do not imply safety or appropriateness of treatment or care. The Services also allow you to book appointments with healthcare providers you select. Once you complete booking your appointment with your selected healthcare provider using the Services, we will send you a confirmation email and/or a text message with the details of your appointment to the email address and/or the mobile phone number you provided. When you book your appointment, you hereby agree to attend such appointment and agree and acknowledge that the cancellation and no-show policies of the applicable healthcare provider shall apply. Healthcare providers are responsible for maintaining their own schedules. Vim has no control over and cannot guarantee the availability of any healthcare provider and are not liable in any way for canceled or otherwise unfulfilled appointments. By scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider you hereby agree to attend your scheduled appointment. VIM DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE. THE SERVICES DO NOT INVOLVE PROVISION OF MEDICAL ADVICE. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES, SUCH AS 911, AMBULANCE SERVICE OR LOCAL EMERGENCY ROOM.
