You are age 18 or over or, if you are accessing the Services in violation of the Eligibility requirement related to age, you otherwise have the express consent of your parent or legal guardian.

2. Our Services

Telehealth Services. Telemedicine involves the delivery of health care services using electronic communications, information technology, or other means between a health care provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location. Telemedicine may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and/or related patient education, and may include, but is not limited to:

  • Electronic transmission of medical records, photo images, personal health information, or other data between a patient and health care provider;
  • Interactions between a patient and health care provider via audio, video, and/or data communications; and
  • Use of output data from medical devices, sound, and video files.

The electronic systems used in the Services will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information, and will include measures to safeguard your data to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption or unlawful access. By accepting the Terms of Use, you agree and consent to DooU, the Authorized Medical Providers, and any other health care organization(s) or provider(s) with whom we partner to provide the Services to you sending you disclosures, notices, messages, reports, and other communications either in writing or electronically including without limitation through your account or by email. It is your responsibility to monitor these communications. You acknowledge and agree that you will not hold us, any Authorized Medical Provider, or any healthcare organization(s) or provider(s) with whom we partner to offer the Services to you liable for any loss, injury, or claim of any kind resulting from your failure to read these communications or for your failure to comply with any treatment recommendations contained in these communications. Moreover, you acknowledge and agree that no means of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to us transmitting health and other information to you electronically and that any information sent to or signed by you or us electronically shall be deemed equivalent to as if such information was provided or signed in writing.

Your Relationship with DooU.

DooU does not provide any medical advice or healthcare services, including via the Services. Authorized physicians and authorized non-physician providers such as nurse practitioners (collectively, “Authorized Medical Providers”) may provide healthcare services, including telemedicine services (“Healthcare Services”) through the DooU Platform in accordance with applicable law.

DooU offers an online communication platform for Authorized Medical Providers and their patients to connect via the DooU Platform (the "Platform") through the use of synchronous and asynchronous telecommunications technologies. The Platform facilitates communication between patients and Authorized Medical Providers. DooU contracts with independent contracted physician providers and non-physician providers such as nurse practitioners, who provide Healthcare Services. The Authorized Medical Providers deliver Healthcare Services via the Platform to their patients. The Authorized Medical Providers, and not DooU, are responsible for the quality and appropriateness of the care they render to you.

The health resources made available through our Services are for informational purposes only, and are not a substitute for direct in-person health care services in all cases; nor are they an indicator of specific results. The decision to focus on diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or both, rests with you and the Authorized Medical Provider. You understand that by coordinating and consulting with an Authorized Medical Provider through the Services, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with DooU.

You agree that any prescription written to you by an Authorized Medical Provider is solely for the personal use of the individual named on the prescription. You agree to carefully and fully read all provided product information and labels, and to contact a physician or pharmacist if you have any questions regarding the prescription or medication.

You should report any emergency medication reactions, side effects or other adverse events to your family physician or, if you do not have one, to the nearest walk-in clinic or emergency room or call 911 if any reaction is an emergency situation.

Except for specific communications received from an Authorized Medical Provider, none of the information you receive through the Services should be considered medical advice.

Pharmacy Services. If you receive a prescription as a result of your use of the Services, you may select the DooU Pharmacy Partner to fulfill and ship your prescription. You may also choose to have your prescription fulfilled through the pharmacy of your choice when prompted during your use of the Services. You give us consent to send and disclose to the DooU Pharmacy Partner or the pharmacy of your choice all information provided by you, health care records, and other applicable health care information and personal information (such as your name, location and demographic information) so that you may receive pharmacy services.

If you select to use the DooU Pharmacy Partner to fulfill any prescriptions, you acknowledge that your medication will not be shipped in child-resistant packaging and that you must keep it out of the reach of children.

Timings: 9am - 5pm ET (Mon - Sat)
