LipozeneRx LLC ("LipoRx") offers websites and services enabling you to have online consultations with independent, licensed healthcare professionals ("Provider") and access to mail order pharmacy services for medications prescribed to you ("You"). These services collectively represent our "Services" and are part of telehealth, which uses electronic communications to connect healthcare providers with patients in not in the same physical locations. LipoRx believes telehealth offers significant benefits, such as convenience, privacy, and affordability. It can be utilized for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and patient education.

Telehealth may include, but is not limited to:

• Electronic transmission of medical records, photo images, personal health information or other data between a patient and a Provider;
• Interactions between a patient and a Provider via audio, video and/or asynchronous data communications, such as secure messaging and email; and
• Use of data from remote monitoring devices, medical devices, and sound or video files.

The websites, applications, and information systems used in the Services incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy, security, and integrity of your health information.

Possible Benefits of Telemedicine

• Telehealth can make accessing medical care easier, more efficient, and less expensive.
• You can obtain medical care and treatment at times that are convenient for you.
• You can interact with providers without the necessity of an in-office appointment.

Possible Limitations of Telehealth

• Information transmitted to your Provider may not be sufficient to allow for appropriate medical decision making or your Provider may not be able to provide medical treatment for your condition via telehealth, and you may be required to seek alternative care.
• The inability of your Provider to conduct certain tests or assess vital signs in person may in some cases prevent the Provider from diagnosing or treating you or identifying that you need urgent medical care.
• Your medical care could be delayed due to technological failures that interrupt the Services.
• Data security protocols or safeguards could fail and cause a breach of your identified health information.
• Due to the nature of the Services and regulatory requirements in certain jurisdictions, your treatment options, especially pertaining to certain prescriptions, may be limited.
