Introduction
Curex Medical Services P.A., Curex Medical of California P.C., Curex Medical of New Jersey P.C., (“Curex Medical Group”), Curex Inc., and their respective affiliates (collectively, “Curex,” “we ”, “us”, or “our”) own and/or operate the websites located at https://getcurex.com, (the “Websites”) and provide services to you (altogether, the “Services”) which are described in more detail in these Terms of Use (these “Terms”) below.
These Terms govern your access to and use of our Services. Note that Section 27 entitled “Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Venue” contains a mandatory arbitration provision that requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis and limits the remedies available to you in the event of certain disputes.
Please read these Terms carefully. By clicking “I Accept” or by accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by and comply with these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you are not authorized to access or use the Services or any information contained within the Services for any purpose.
We may revise these Terms from time to time. Any material changes to these Terms will be in effect as of the “Date of Last Revision” referenced in these terms. You should review these Terms from time to time and we will endeavor to provide you with reasonable notice when we make material changes to these Terms. Your continued use of our Services after such changes will constitute your acceptance and agreement to such changes.
Important Notices and Disclaimers
The Services are not intended for use in the event of an emergency. If you believe you may have a medical emergency, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency medical system immediately.
Curex is not a healthcare provider and our Services do not include the provision of medical care, health care services, or other professional services by Curex. All healthcare related services are provided by licensed providers contracted through the Curex Medical Group. Always directly contact your health care provider (“Provider”) or other qualified healthcare professionals with any questions regarding your personal health or medical conditions. If you have or suspect that you have a medical problem or condition, please contact a qualified healthcare professional or 9-1-1 immediately. If any medical advice is provided to you by a healthcare provider through our Services, such medical advice is not provided by Curex, but is provided by that Provider.
You rely on any content, lab results, technique ideas, or suggestions accessed through the Services at your sole discretion and risk. You should talk to your Provider for diagnosis and treatment. The Services are not a substitute for the expertise, skill, knowledge, or judgement of healthcare practitioners.
We do not recommend or endorse any specific drugs, tests, healthcare providers, products, procedures, opinions, “off-label” drug uses, or any other information that may be provided through our Services.
Our Services
Curex’s Services facilitates the exchange of information, content, and services between you and you Provider. The Services may include, for example: (a) administrative support in connection with scheduling, communications, and payment for healthcare services you receive from your Provider; (b) administrative support in connection with coordinating optional fulfilment and payment for diagnostic testing and prescription medications ordered or prescribed by Providers; (c) telecommunications and technology support for using the Services as a means of direct access to Providers provided by affiliated professional entities for communication, consultations, assessments, and treatment by Providers; and (d) providing individuals with resources and information related to health care and wellness.
Our Services enable you to communicate with your Provider. However, Curex is not responsible for monitoring such information and communications, and we are not a party to the transactions that may occur between you and your Provider.
Our Services might not function as intended. You should not and must not rely on our Services as your primary tool for communicating, gathering, storying, updating, sharing, or assessing your health information, including changes to your health status. By using our Services, you assume full responsibility for your use of the Services and agree that we are not responsible or liable for any claim, loss, or damage arising from use of the Services.
Your Relationship With Curex
Curex does not provide any medical or healthcare services, including via the Services. Rather, Curex provides a technology platform for you to access health care Services by individual Providers employed or contracted with Curex Medical Group and affiliated professional entities and obtain access to additional information, which you may or may not choose to utilize in planning your health care and wellness. The health and wellness resources made available through our Services are not a substitute for direct in-person health care services in all cases. The decision to focus on diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or both, rests with you and the Provider. You understand that by coordinating and in certain cases consulting with Curex Medical Group or an affiliated health care Provider through the Services, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with Curex.
By accepting the Terms of Use, you agree and consent to Curex, Curex affiliates or health care providers sending you disclosures, notices, messages, reports, and other communications related to the Services. It is your responsibility to monitor these communications. You acknowledge and agree that you will not hold us or any Curex affiliate 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.
Consultative Provider Services
In some cases, a Curex Medical Group or affiliated Providers may use the Services to provide advice or treatment to you. A Provider consulting with you through the Services may not have the benefit of information that would be obtained by examining you in person and observing your physical condition, in each instance. Therefore, the Provider may not be aware of facts or information that may affect his or her opinion regarding a potential diagnosis or treatment recommendation. To reduce the risk to you of this limitation, Curex strongly encourages you to provide all relevant information and discuss any and all diagnosis and treatment options with a Provider. Moreover, a Provider utilizing Curex may be limited by state law in prescribing certain medications to you without first conducting an in-person physical examination. By deciding to engage the Services, you acknowledge and agree that you are aware of these limitations and agree to assume the risk of these limitations. Furthermore, you agree and accept that: (i) any diagnosis you may receive is limited and, in some cases, provisional; (ii) the health care services are not intended, in all cases, to replace a full medical evaluation or an in-person visit with a health care provider; (iii) a Provider acting through the Services may not have important information that is usually obtained through a “hands-on” physical examination; and (iv) the absence of a physical examination may affect the Provider’s ability to diagnose any potential condition, disease or injury.

If you are a California resident, you hereby waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code § 1542, which provides that “a general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party,” as well as any other statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Venue
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND CUREX TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM CUREX.
These Terms and your use of the Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws.
Binding Arbitration. Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) arising out of or related to an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and Curex agree (a) to waive your and Curex’s respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms, or the Services, resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and Curex’s respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and Curex agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).
No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. You and Curex agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services is personal to you and Curex, and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You and Curex agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and Curex agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.
Federal Arbitration Act. You and Curex agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Process. You and Curex agree that (a) any arbitration will occur in New York, New York or telephonically; (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, as modified by the terms set forth herein (“AAA Rules”), which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (c) that the seat of the arbitration shall be the New York, New York and that state or federal courts of the New York and the United States have exclusive jurisdiction over any litigation in aid of arbitration and the enforcement of any arbitration awards.
Authority of Arbitrator. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable AAA rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained in this Section, are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator.
Severability
All parts of these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. Curex and you both agree that if we cannot enforce a part of this contract as written, then that part will be replaced with terms that most closely match the intent of the part we cannot enforce, to the extent permitted by law. The invalidity of part of these Terms of Use will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The section headings are for convenience only and do not have any force or effect.
No Waiver
No waiver by Curex of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure by Curex to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
No Agency Relationship
Nothing in these Terms or in the Services create any partnership, joint venture, employment, or other agency relationship between us and you. You may not enter into any contract on our behalf or bind us in any way.
Assignment
You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms, and any such attempt will be null and void. Curex Medical Group. and their affiliates may, in their individual discretion, transfer, without further consent or notification, all contractual rights and obligations pursuant to these Terms if some or all of the business of Curex is transferred to another entity by way of merger, sale of its assets or otherwise.
Remedies
You agree that any violation, or threatened violation, by you of these Terms will cause us irreparable and unquantifiable harm. You also agree that monetary damages would be inadequate for such harm and consent to our obtaining any injunctive or equitable relief that we deem necessary or appropriate. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies we may have at law or in equity.
