Through its technology platform, Cambria Judd MD may provide telehealth services (also referred to as telemedicine).

This Consent informs you concerning the treatment methods, risks, and limitations of using a telehealth platform. This Consent is effective and binding across all telehealth sessions or services rendered via Cambria Judd MD’s technology platform.
- Electronic Transmissions. The types of electronic transmissions that may occur using the telehealth platform include, but are not limited to:
- Completion, exchange, and review of relevant medical information (for example: health records; images; output data from medical devices; sound and video files; diagnostic and/or lab test results) between you and a healthcare provider via: asynchronous or synchronous communications; two-way interactive audio; and/or two-way interactive audio and video interaction;

- Although measures are in place to prevent a breach of privacy, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information; and/or
- Provider’s inability to conduct a hands-on physical examination of me and my condition.
- Patient Acknowledgments. I further acknowledge and understand the following:
- If I am experiencing a medical emergency, I will be directed to dial 9-1-1 immediately and the provider is not able to connect me directly to any local emergency services.
- I have the right to withhold or withdraw my consent to the use of telehealth in the course of my care at any time without affecting my right to future care or treatment.
- Federal and state law requires health care providers to protect the privacy and security of health information. I am entitled to all confidentiality protections under applicable federal and state laws. I understand all medical reports resulting from the telehealth visit are part of my medical record.
- Any provider’s advice, recommendations, and/or decisions may be based on factors not within his/her control, including incomplete or inaccurate data provided by me. I understand that the provider only relies on information provided by me during our telehealth encounter and that I must provide information about my medical history, condition(s), and current or previous medical care that is complete and accurate to the best of my ability. I also understand that the provider may not have access to my full medical record or information.
- A healthcare provider will provide care consistent with the prevailing standards of medical practice but makes no assurances or guarantees as to the results of treatment.
- There is no guarantee that all treatment of all patients will be effective.
- The laws of the state in which I am located will apply to my receipt of telehealth services.
- I have the right to review and receive copies of my medical records, including all information obtained during a telehealth interaction, subject to our standard policies regarding request and receipt of medical records and applicable law.

- Failure to comply with the terms of this Consent may result in the termination of my ability to use the telehealth services.
- Consent to Email, Cellular Telephone, or Text Usage for Healthcare Communications. If at any time I provide an email address or cellphone number at which I may be contacted, I consent to receiving unsecure instructions and other healthcare communications at the email or text address I have provided, or at any text number forwarded or transferred from that number. These instructions may include, but are not limited to: follow-up instructions, educational information, and prescription information. Note: You may opt out of these communications at any time.

- Duration. This consent will remain fully effective until it is revoked.
- Patient Consent to the Use of Telehealth. I have read and understand the information provided above and understand the risks and benefits of telehealth services.

XXII.GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND CAMBRIA JUDD MD TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM CAMBRIA JUDD MD.
- Governing Law. The Website is controlled and operated by us from the United States and is not intended to subject us to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than that of the United States. These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of law principles.
- Arbitration Agreement. You and Cambria Judd MD agree that all claims and disputes relating in any way to your use of our Website, arising out of or in connection with these Terms, or arising out of or in connection with any services provided by Cambria Judd MD shall be resolved by binding arbitration, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, on an individual basis, except for disputes which can be resolved in small claims court, any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents, or any dispute already pending at the time you first agree to these Terms. You also agree that any arbitration will take place in Newport Beach, California.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. IN THE EVENT ARBITRATION IS CONTRARY TO APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND CAMBRIA JUDD MD WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Cambria Judd MD are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration is the referral of a claim or dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the claim or dispute and making a final binding determination to resolve it instead of having it decided by a judge or jury in court. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions, or Representative Actions. YOU AND CAMBRIA JUDD MD AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS OR OTHER TYPE OF REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, WHETHER WITHIN OR OUTSIDE OF ARBITRATION, OR ON BEHALF OF ANY INDIVIDUAL OR OTHER GROUP. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND CAMBRIA JUDD MD AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S) OR DISPUTE. ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER CAMBRIA JUDD MD USERS.
- Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute resolution provision. Any arbitration between you and Cambria Judd MD will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available at www.adr.org.
XXIII.MISCELLANEOUS
The Terms set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof. If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms shall remain in full force and effect. Headings are for reference only and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or extent of such section. Our failure to act with respect to any failure by you or others to comply with these Terms does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar failures. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, and any assignment or transfer in violation of this provision shall be null and void.
