Although Apex Meds is not a “covered entity” under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, you understand that Apex Meds Service gathers unique information from you to enable a medical provider to determine whether a prescription or a diagnostic test is indicated and appropriate for you, including applicable health information (such as your past and present health conditions, medications, and blood pressure), diagnostic tests, as applicable, and personal information (such as your name, location and demographic information) (collectively, “Your Information”). This information may be certain medical information that may be protected under applicable laws.
As such, you give your consent to Apex Meds to send and disclose to the affiliated professional entities and their medical providers all of your Information so that you may receive Apex Meds Services. Further, you consent to the delivery of your Information to affiliated and unaffiliated pharmacies, laboratories, and other diagnostic testing companies as part of the coordination of desired fulfillment and payment for diagnostic testing, prescription medications, and medical services recommended as part of the Healthcare Services. One or more of the Labs, Pharmacies or Medical Groups may or may not be a “covered entity” or “business associate” under HIPAA, and Apex Meds may in some cases be a “business associate” of a Lab, Pharmacy or Medical Group. It is important to remember that, while state-specific privacy laws may apply, HIPAA does not necessarily apply to an entity or person simply because there is health information involved, and HIPAA may not apply to your transactions or communications with Apex Meds, the Medical Groups, the Providers, the Labs, or the Pharmacies. To the extent Apex Meds is deemed a “business associate” and solely in its role as a business associate, Apex Meds may be subject to certain provisions of HIPAA with respect to “protected health information,” (“PHI”) as defined under HIPAA, that you provide to the Labs, Pharmacies, or Medical Groups . In addition, any medical or health information that you provide that is subject to specific protections under applicable state laws (collectively, with PHI, “Protected Information”), will be used and disclosed only in accordance with such applicable laws. Any information that does not constitute Protected Information under applicable laws, however, may be used or disclosed in any manner permitted under our Privacy Policy. Protected information does not include information that has been de-identified in accordance with HIPAA. The Medical Groups and Providers have adopted a Notice of Privacy Practices that describes how they use and disclose Protected Health Information. By accessing or using any part of the Service, you are acknowledging receipt of the Notice of Privacy Practices from your Medical Group and Provider(s).
By using the Service, you further agree if HIPAA does apply to Apex Meds, the Medical Groups, the Providers, the Labs, or the Pharmacies, any information that you submit to that is not intended and used solely for the provision of diagnosis and treatment by the Medical Group and Providers or prescription fulfillment by the Pharmacies or laboratory services by the Labs, is not considered Protected Information, and will only be subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable state laws that govern the privacy and security of such information.

LIMITED HEALTHCARE SERVICES: Although you may receive a medical consultation and/or prescription through the Apex Meds Service membership, Apex Meds, Inc. does not offer medical advice. Creating an account on the ApexMeds.com web or mobile site does not create any patient-provider relationship. The Platform is structured for use specific to certain healthcare services and is not, and should not, be considered, or used, as comprehensive medical advice, care, diagnosis, or treatment. In some cases, the Apex Meds Service may not be the most appropriate way for you to provide information to, communicate with, or seek medical care and treatment from a healthcare provider. For example, your Provider may determine that your diagnosis or treatment requires an in-person office visit or are otherwise not appropriately addressed through use of Apex Meds Service. In such a case, you may receive notification that you will be unable to use the Service for the particular issue you submitted with additional information regarding next steps. The Platform should not be used during a medical emergency, and if you choose to discontinue your Apex Meds membership, you are strongly encouraged to follow up with your primary care provider or other qualified healthcare provider. APEX MEDS, INC. IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY ADVICE, COURSE OF TREATMENT, DIAGNOSIS OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION, SERVICES OR PRODUCTS THAT YOU MAY OBTAIN THROUGH AFFILIATED PROFESSIONALS OR THEIR PROFESSIONAL ENTITIES.
TELEHEALTH CONSENT: Telehealth uses electronic communications, information technology, and other means to connect patients in one location and licensed, certified, or registered healthcare professionals in another location regarding a clinical matter. Though Telehealth carries potential benefits, like any medical procedure, it also carries potential risks. Please review the full “Telehealth Informed Consent” which informs you about the treatment methods, risks, and limitations of utilizing telehealth to meet your health and wellness needs. In order to receive Healthcare Services, you will be required to agree to the Telehealth Informed Consent regarding the use of telehealth. By using the Healthcare Services facilitated and coordinated through Apex Meds Service, you agree and acknowledge that Apex Meds, Inc. is a beneficiary of the Medical Consent and has the right to enforcement.
PAYMENTS: You understand and agree that you are responsible for all fees due to receive Apex Meds Service, including any fees charged by medical providers and affiliated medical professional entities. When you submit your Information for Healthcare Services, you are agreeing to pay all fees due. By entering your payment information and submitting your request, you authorize Apex Meds Service, our affiliates, or our third-party payment processors to charge the amount due.
Furthermore, Apex Meds and Apex Meds Service cannot accept returns of prescription products for reuse or resale, and all sales are final. If you believe we have made an error assisting with the filling of your prescription, please message us through your Apex Meds account or call 407-674-8064
You understand that Apex Meds’s affiliated medical professional entities are not contracted healthcare providers with any health insurance plans (commercial, government, or otherwise; i.e., “out-of-network” providers), and therefore, you understand and agree that you are exclusively and solely responsible for paying all fees due to receive the Healthcare Services provided to you, including any fees charged by the medical providers and affiliated medical professional entities. As such, neither you, Apex Meds, or any medical professional or their professional entities may receive payment from such programs for the services or products provided to you by Apex Meds, Apex Meds Service, its affiliated professionals and their professional entities. Amounts collected by Apex Meds Service will include fees charged by medical providers for Healthcare Services.
Further, to the extent that any of the Labs, Pharmacies, or Providers may be enrolled in federal or state healthcare programs, the means through which the services and products are provided or made accessible through the Service typically precludes such services and products from being covered benefits under these programs. By choosing to use the Service, you are specifically choosing to obtain products and services on a cash basis outside of any federal or state healthcare program. Thus, you are solely responsible for the costs of any service or product provided to you.
In the event that your credit card expires or Apex Meds, our affiliates, or our third-party payment processors are unable to process your payment, you may receive notice for you to provide an alternative payment method. Apex Meds Service and the medical provider(s) have no obligation to provide any Healthcare Services unless and until full payment has been received and verified.
By agreeing to use the Service, you agree that neither you, Apex Meds, the Labs, Pharmacies, Medical Groups or Providers will submit a claim for reimbursement to any federal or state healthcare program for the costs of the services and products provided to you through the Service.
SUBSCRIPTION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES: Products and services available for purchase through Apex Meds Service require that you purchase the product or service on an automatically renewing subscription basis. Amounts to be charged are dependent on the particular membership in which you enrolled. (click here to view the subscription payment terms).
For subscription-based products and services, your payment device will be automatically charged at regular intervals as described for that product or service until you cancel your subscription. Apex Meds Service may, but is not required to, perform outreach to you from time to time to request updates to your information and to facilitate ongoing subscriptions.
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS:
If for any reason, you decide to cancel your membership subscription within 30 days from your initial enrollment, you are eligible for a full refund of your first month’s fee and you will lose access to your membership immediately. Initial enrollment is defined as the first time an individual signs up to receive Apex Meds Service. No other refunds, returns, or exchanges for products are accepted.
If you cancel your subscription after 30 days from your initial enrollment, you are not eligible for a refund, but you will retain access to the relevant Apex Meds Service for the remainder of your paid month.
If you cancel your subscription while having an active prescription on file, you are eligible to reactivate your membership by paying an amount equal to one month’s fee of your previous plan.
The reactivation fee and the new subscription fee will be charged simultaneously.
You may cancel a subscription at any time by emailing [email protected] or by calling 407-674-8064. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current subscription period. Your subscription will automatically renew for another subscription period unless you cancel at least thirty (30) days before the applicable renewal processing date of your subscription.
Apex Meds Service reserves the right to provide refunds outside of this Agreement on a case-by-case basis in our sole and absolute discretion. We may also offer you the ability to pause your subscription for a specified period of time.
All prices are subject to change without notice and are not guaranteed, except those for an order that have been accepted by Apex Meds Services are not subject to change after acceptance.
In order to simplify the user experience through the Service, you will only see and be required to pay a single “total” subscription price. However, if a subscription product you purchase requires a consultation with a Provider or includes a prescription product that you fill through one of the Pharmacies, then the total price you pay includes the amounts charged for use of Apex Meds Service as well as amounts charged by the Pharmacy for the prescription drug and the amount charged by the Medical Group for the services of the Provider. These amounts are collected on behalf of and paid to the Pharmacies and Medical Groups, respectively.
PRESCRIPTION PRODUCTS: Certain products available through Apex Meds Service require a valid prescription by a licensed healthcare provider. You will not be able to obtain a prescription product unless you have completed a consultation with a medical Provider, the Provider has determined the prescription product is appropriate for you, and the Provider has written a prescription.
If a Provider determines a prescription product is appropriate for you and writes a prescription, the dispensing and mailing of your prescription will be coordinated by Apex Meds Service and an appropriate pharmacy. You have the option to have the prescription filled by a pharmacy of your choice, however, you will be responsible for picking up or otherwise obtaining the prescription product and paying the pharmacy directly for the cost of the prescription product, and the price of your medication may differ than if you purchase through Apex Meds Service.
Please use caution when receiving your prescription as not all prescriptions fulfilled by the Pharmacies use child-resistant packaging and your prescription product may not be dispensed in a child-resistant container.
Prescription products available through the Platform are “Third-Party Goods and Services” as described in the Third-Party Goods and Services section of this Agreement.

GOVERNING LAW, DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION: This Agreement and the resolution of any and all disputes related to this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Any dispute between Apex Meds and you related to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively by the state and federal courts of the State of Delaware.
Apex Meds Services can be accessed from the United States. Because the laws of each state may differ, you agree that the statutes and laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to any principles of conflicts of law, will apply to any and all matters relating to the use of Apex Meds Service.
Those who choose to access the Service from locations outside of the United States do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent applicable. Access to the Service from jurisdictions where the contents of the Service are illegal or penalized is prohibited.
YOU AND WE EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL CLAIM, DISPUTE OR OTHER CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND US OR ANY OF THE APEX MEDS PARTIES, ANY MEDICAL GROUPS, PROVIDERS, LABS, OR PHARMACIES ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE APEX MEDS PARTIES, THE SITES, THE CONTENT, THE SERVICE, OR ANY OTHER GOODS, SERVICES OR ADVERTISING BY APEX MEDS OR ANY OF THE APEX MEDS PARTIES, LABS, PHARMACIES, MEDICAL GROUPS, OR PROVIDERS, INCLUDING CONTROVERSIES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”) THAT IS NOT RESOLVED BY AN INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION CONFERENCE (AS DEFINED AND DESCRIBED BELOW), SHALL BE RESOLVED IN CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BEFORE ONE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATOR FROM THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”), RATHER THAN IN A COURT, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA’S CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES AND, IF THE ARBITRATOR DEEMS THEM APPLICABLE, THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (COLLECTIVELY, “RULES AND PROCEDURES”). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, “DISPUTE” WILL ALSO INCLUDE DISPUTES THAT AROSE OR INVOLVE FACTS OCCURING BEFORE THE EXISTENCE OF THIS OR ANY PRIOR VERSIONS OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS WELL AS CLAIMS THAT MAY ARISE AFTER THE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
In the event a Dispute arises, we are committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and we agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and we therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you shall also participate in the conference.
The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to us that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to [email protected] or regular mail to our offices located at 1980 Festival Plaza Drive #300, Las Vegas, Nevada 89135.
The Notice must ©e: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, email address associated with your account; (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and email address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute. We will provide notice to your address on file. The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree.
If you and we are unable to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after the applicable Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, either party may commence arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. An arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual.
Payment of arbitration costs will be governed by the AAA’s fee schedule. Each party agrees to pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid attorneys’ fees and expenses.
The arbitration shall be conducted in Las Vegas Nevada. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. These Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at https://www.adr.org.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the Dispute arises from: (a) a violation of either party’s intellectual property rights in any manner; or (b) any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, unauthorized use or a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; then you and the applicable Apex Meds Party agree that a party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court in Las Vegas, Nevada, and both parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts in connection with such proceedings. In addition to the foregoing, either you or we may assert an individual action in small claims court for Disputes that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration as long as such action remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
YOU AND WE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and we are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified otherwise herein. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED HEREIN, ALL DISPUTES SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. NO PARTY MAY BRING ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS PROCEEDING. THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED HEREIN. 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). If a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim or request for relief, then such claim or request for relief (and only that claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Las Vegas, Nevada, subject to the parties’ respective rights to appeal the decision. All other claims or requests for relief shall be arbitrated. The parties agree that any claims or requests for relief that are severed from an arbitration may not proceed in litigation and shall be stayed until all claims between the parties remaining in arbitration are finally resolved. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Las Vegas, Nevada for purposes of resolving any claims or requests for relief severed from arbitration pursuant to this paragraph. This subsection does not prevent you or us from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and we agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual arbitrations of a substantially similar nature filed against us by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of one hundred (100) arbitrations per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than one hundred (100) arbitrations left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining arbitrations); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”). All parties agree that arbitrations are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event, act, omission, practice or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Apex Meds, Inc.
You and we agree to cooperate in good faith with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of arbitrations, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.You can opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration agreement that require the arbitration of Disputes within thirty (30) days of the date that you first agree to any version of this Agreement that requires arbitration of disputes with Apex Meds or any of the Apex Meds Parties, Medical Groups, Labs, or Pharmacies. To opt-out, you must send your name, residence address, and email address together with a clear statement that you want to opt-out of the requirement to arbitrate disputes with the applicable party to: Apex Meds, Inc., 1980 Festival Plaza Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89135l ATTN: Arbitration Opt-Out. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us or any other Apex Meds Parties.
Before you commence arbitration of a Dispute, you must provide us with a written Notice of Dispute that includes your name, residence address, username (if applicable) and email address associated with your User account (if applicable), a detailed description of the Dispute, and the relief you seek. Before we commence arbitration of a Dispute against you, we will provide a written Notice of Dispute to you with a detailed description of the Dispute and the relief we seek. Any Notice of Dispute you send to us should be mailed to Apex Meds, Inc., 1980 Festival Plaza Drive #300, Las Vegas, Nevada, ATTN: Dispute Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if we make any future material modification to any provisions of this Agreement that govern the arbitration or resolution of Disputes, such changes will not apply to any Dispute between you and us for which either party had previously provided a written Notice of Dispute to the other in accordance with this paragraph. Further, if we make any future material changes to the provisions of this Agreement that govern the arbitration or resolution of Disputes, you may reject such changes by sending a written notice of your rejection decision to us at Apex Meds,Inc., 1980 Festival Plaza Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89135, ATTN: Arbitration Opt-Out within 30 days of the effective date of such modifications.
Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt-out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of these Terms of Service and did not validly opt-out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service) remain in full force and effect. We will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of these Terms.
Except as provided above, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
This Mandatory Arbitration will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
