Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (this “Agreement”) set out the terms on which binx health, inc. (“binx health” “binx” “we” or “us”) will provide access to and use of certain laboratory testing services and/or consultations available on or through the website https://mybinxhealth.com/ (the “Service”) to you, a user of the Service (“you” or “User”). You should read this Agreement carefully. By indicating acceptance of this Agreement or by otherwise using the Service, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with us (and you hereby represent that you are otherwise fully able and competent, to enter into a binding agreement). If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you must not use the Service.

IF YOU HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, SEEK IN-PERSON EMERGENCY CARE IMMEDIATELY OR DIAL 911. THE SERVICE IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ALL MEDICAL CONDITIONS OR CONCERNS. THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS PROVIDED HEREIN.

THIS AGREEMENT CREATES A BINDING LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND BINX, AND INCLUDES AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE UNDER WHICH CERTAIN CLAIMS MAY NOT BE BROUGHT IN COURT OR DECIDED BY A JURY. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.

  1. Nature of the Service.
    1. Eligibility Assessments. When you request laboratory testing or a consultation, binx may gather certain information from you related to the appropriateness of, and your eligibility for, the requested test(s) and/or consultation. As appropriate, this information will be shared with a third-party health care provider who will order, or decline to order, testing based on his or her independent professional judgment. binx has no control over, and is not responsible for, the provider’s ordering decision related to the assessment. Further, if you are deemed ineligible for testing and/or a consultation, this does not mean that another health care provider would reach the same conclusion. You should always seek the testing and care you believe you need and are encouraged to consult your primary care physician or another qualified health care provider whenever you believe it is appropriate.
    2. Laboratory Testing and Consultations. binx will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Service described in and subject to these Terms of Service. The Service provides laboratory testing based on biological materials you provide (“Samples”). binx will have Samples tested by a third-party, CLIA-certified laboratory. The Results will be shared with binx pursuant to your authorization, and binx will share the Results with you and with the ordering health care provider and potentially with public health authorities, as described more fully in the binx Informed Consent (the “Informed Consent”), which you must agree to in order to procure the testing. With respect to a request for a consultation, binx, if appropriate, will provide your questionnaire results to a third-party healthcare provider to assess and make a diagnosis independently based on the information you have provided and if medically appropriate, prescribe medications.
    3. Results. You understand and acknowledge that your Sample must be of adequate quality to be processed and generate Results. You understand and agree that (i) all information, data, documentation, reports, results and other products of the Services (collectively, the “Results”) may be used by binx for research, test validation, commercial and educational purposes; provided, except as otherwise set forth in the Informed Consent and any authorization you sign, your Results will remain confidential to you and binx, and (ii) the Results are for informational purposes and not a clinical diagnosis or treatment decision.
    4. Disclaimer. THE SERVICE IS NOT DESIGNED TO PROVIDE MEDICAL OR HEALTH CARE ADVICE OR ADDRESS MEDICAL EMERGENCIES. ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF YOUR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTH PROVIDER WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING YOUR HEALTH. NEVER DISREGARD PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE OR DELAY IN SEEKING IT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING YOU HAVE READ ON THIS SITE OR THE RESULTS. IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL YOUR DOCTOR OR 911 IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT RELY ON ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR COMMUNICATION THROUGH THE SERVICE FOR IMMEDIATE, URGENT MEDICAL NEEDS.
    5. Health Care Providers. You understand and agree that by using the Service, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with binx. We partner with certain physicians, physician practices, or other clinical care providers to assist us in offering the Service, and you authorize us to share your personal and health information to access those providers to fulfill our obligations to you under this Agreement. Those providers delivering professional services in connection with the Service are licensed to practice in the states in which they treat patients. You understand that information you send or receive via the Service may become part of a medical record established by those physicians or other affiliated professional entities and providers, but may not automatically become part of your separate medical records held by your primary care physician or other health care professionals unless you request such records and provide them. The Service is not meant to provide complete or exhaustive information about any individual User’s medical condition. You are strongly encouraged to consult with a qualified health care professional for answers to your personal questions.
    6. No Business or Other Advice. binx does not have a role in (i) designing, developing, or advising on the testing programs or policies of any third party (e.g., employers or universities) or (ii) the use of the Results or other information collected or generated through the use or performance of the Service. binx is not responsible for, and does not assist with, any determinations regarding whether you should take, or refrain from taking, any action based on your Results (e.g., whether you should return to work or campus).
  2. Registration. In order to use certain parts of the Service, you will be required to provide us demographic and contact information including, but not limited to, your first name, last name, gender, date of birth, email address, and telephone number, and to create a password and register with us. In order to receive testing, you will be required to execute the Informed Consent and to provide one or more Samples. In order to receive a consultation, you will be required to complete a questionnaire and complete the Informed Consent. We may also request additional information from you. You represent and warrant to us that you will provide us with accurate, current and complete information. You are responsible for your registration, and for all use of the Service using any User credentials or passwords issued to you or chosen by you. You will keep all such credentials and passwords confidential.
  3. Fees and Orders. Unless payment in full has been arranged in advance on your behalf (e.g., through your employer or university), the Service, or certain features of the Service, may be available only if certain fees (collectively, “Fees”) are paid by you. In such case, you will provide us (or our designated third-party payment provider) with accurate and valid credit card or other digital payment information and update your credit card or other payment information in the event any information provided becomes invalid or incomplete. All payments shall be made in U.S. dollars. You are responsible for any tax, duty, custom or other fee of any nature, other than taxes on binx’ income, imposed on the Services by any federal, state, local or foreign government authority. We reserve the right to accept, refuse or cancel any orders placed through the Service, without liability or justification. We will refund you in case your order was cancelled by us after your credit card or other digital payment method has been charged. binx health will honor all refunds identified in the agreement upon receipt of the notice of cancellation; provided however, if a collection kit is shipped before you cancel your order, then any shipping costs incurred will be deducted from the refund amount. If you are required to send your Samples to a third-party laboratory for testing, you acknowledge that any Fees paid shall not be returned if your Samples are not received within sixty (60) days of an order by a health care provider. In addition, any collection kit(s)provided to you under this Agreement that are not received in the Laboratory within six (6) months from your receipt of such collection kit, will surpass the use-by window and cannot be used or processed.
  4. Your Representations and Warranties. You represent, warrant and covenant that: (a) you comply and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your use of the Service, and if you have provided a Sample or questionnaire, you have executed the Informed Consent permitting binx to perform, or arrange the performance of, the Service and to generate the Results; (b) when required, you will ship the Samples to a third-party laboratory in the postage-paid mailer provided for your use. All Samples must be accompanied by all necessary information required for processing of the Samples.
