1. DISCLAIMER

The Services are presented for the purpose of educating Users on wellness, lifestyle and disease management topics. Neither INTERVENT nor the Sites directly or indirectly practice medicine or dispense medical services. Nothing contained in the Sites or the Services is intended to be for medical diagnosis or treatment of any nature and especially regarding prevention of cardiovascular and other chronic diseases. The Services should not be considered complete, nor should they be relied on to suggest a course of medical treatment for a particular individual, which can only be provided by a physician or other qualified health care provider (generally referred to herein as a "physician"). The Services should not be used as a substitute for or in place of a visit or call to, consultation with, or the advice of your physician. The Services are not exhaustive and do not cover all wellness topics, diseases, ailments, and physical conditions or their treatment. Should you have any changes in your medical condition or health care-related questions, please call or see your physician promptly. We expect that you will consult with your physician before embarking on a new treatment, diet, or fitness program, including use of the Services. You should never disregard or discontinue following medical advice or delay in seeking it because of the Information, the Communication Services, or use of the Products or Services. The Information is compiled from, and the Products are based upon, a variety of sources, including nationally accepted guidelines of organizations such as the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, American College of Sports Medicine, National Institutes of Health, American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, and U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (the "Guideline Organizations"). In no way, however, have the Services been reviewed or approved by the Guideline Organizations. In addition, INTERVENT makes use of scientific advisors to aid in making scientific related decisions, but the Services should not be interpreted as reflecting scientific certainty.

The Services are provided "AS IS" without warranty, express or implied. INTERVENT hereby excludes all implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular use or purpose with respect to the Services. There are no warranties that extend beyond the description on the face of this Agreement. INTERVENT makes no warranty as to the reliability, accuracy, timeliness, usefulness, adequacy, completeness, or suitability of the Services. INTERVENT does not warrant against human and machine errors, omissions, delays, interruptions or losses, including loss of data. INTERVENT does not guarantee or warrant that files available for downloading from this online Site will be free of infection by viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other code that manifest contaminating or destructive properties. INTERVENT does not warrant or guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free or that defects in the Services will be corrected.

Users of the Sites are responsible for:

  1. implementing and maintaining adequate procedures and checkpoints to satisfy their particular requirements for accuracy of data input and output and
  2. a means external to the Sites for the reconstruction of any lost data

2. OTHER INTERNET SITES

You are encouraged to use discretion while browsing the Internet on searches initiated at the Sites. Links from the Sites may lead unintentionally to sites containing information that some people may find inappropriate or offensive or that contain inaccurate information, false or misleading advertising, or information that violates copyright, libel or defamation laws. INTERVENT makes no representations concerning any effort to review all of the content of sites listed at or linked to the Sites.

3. REVIEW OF POSTINGS AND UPLOADS

INTERVENT does not and cannot review all communications and materials posted or uploaded to the Sites and is not responsible for the content of these communications and materials. However, INTERVENT reserves the right to block or remove communications or materials from the Sites that it determines, in its sole discretion, to be (a) abusive, libelous, defamatory, or obscene, (b) fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading, (c) a violation of a copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of another or (d) offensive or otherwise unacceptable to INTERVENT. ANY MESSAGES, ADVICE, OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN ANY DISCUSSION AREA SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OR INSTRUCTION.

4. LIMITED LICENSE

By this Agreement, INTERVENT grants Users, subject to the terms of this Agreement, only a limited, non-transferable and non-exclusive license to use the software and documentation necessary to access, explore and otherwise use the Sites in real time and to use the Services only in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) Regarding my use of the INTERVENT Services:

  1. Purpose and explanation of the INTERVENT Services
    The Services have been developed with input from physicians and other experienced health care professionals. In some cases, the Services are supervised and/or administered by non-physician staff members. However, I understand that the Services are not medical care nor are they intended as a replacement for my regular medical care and that the staff does not provide medical treatment or prescribe medications. I acknowledge that during my participation in or use of the Services my physician remains responsible for my medical care. I hereby affirm that I am voluntarily engaging in the INTERVENT Services selected by me. I understand that some of the INTERVENT Services are not intended for pregnant women and affirm that, if I am female, I am not pregnant or have informed the INTERVENT staff that I am pregnant. These Services are intended, but not guaranteed, to improve my health and well-being and may include exercise and physical activity recommendations, dietary counseling, stress management, smoking cessation and other health/fitness education activities. I will be given instructions regarding the amount and kind of exercise and physical activity I should engage in. I understand that I may be expected to participate in scheduled activities and am expected to follow instructions with regard to exercise and physical activity, diet, stress management, and other health/fitness-related activities, including communications with my physician. If I am taking prescribed medications, I will inform INTERVENT. If I participate in or use a Product supervised by an INTERVENT staff member, I will inform INTERVENT promptly of any changes in my condition (including if I am female and become pregnant) or any changes that my physician or I make with regard to use of medications. I also agree to provide my physician with copies of reports I am provided by the Sites or the Services. Depending on the Product I select, I may be given the opportunity for periodic assessment and evaluation at regular intervals after the start of my participation in or use of the Product. I understand that I can request to speak with a supervisor or manager to provide feedback specific to my experience with the Services or the Sites. I acknowledge that I may have selected a Product from INTERVENT that includes assistance from and scheduled interactions with trained personnel with health backgrounds to provide general direction of my activities, monitor my performance and otherwise evaluate my progress. Otherwise, I realize that no one other than me and possibly my physician will direct my activities, monitor my performance or otherwise evaluate my progress. In such event, I accept full responsibility for these activities and for independently following or choosing not to follow the recommendations made to me by INTERVENT or from the Sites. I have been informed that during my participation in the Services, I will be asked to engage in physical activity unless symptoms such as excessive fatigue, shortness of breath, light headedness, palpitations, chest discomfort, or similar occurrences appear. If these or any other untoward symptoms occur, I have been advised that I should decrease or stop exercise and physical activity immediately and that it is my obligation to inform my physician of my symptoms before continuing with additional physical activities. I hereby affirm that I have been so advised and agree to inform my physician of my symptoms, should any develop. INTERVENT may have reason to contact you via your cell phone or regular telephone or via text message to your cell phone to make, or remind you of, appointments, to provide motivational information, to provide program updates, to inform you if you need to see your doctor, and/or to provide other services that we believe may be of importance to you. By submitting this form, you are giving us your consent to use automated technology to call or text you at the phone number(s), including your wireless number, that you provide to us. Please note that if you do not provide or if you revoke your consent to this item, you may still receive INTERVENT services, other than specific communication services to which you would be entitled, based on your program and payment plan selection.
  2. Risks
    I understand and have been informed that there is a remote possibility of adverse changes occurring during exercise and physical activity including, but not limited to, abnormal blood pressure, fainting, dizziness, disorders of heart rhythm, and very rare instances of heart attack, stroke, or even death. I further understand and I have been informed that the risk of bodily injury exists including, but not limited to, injuries to the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints of the body. I have been told that efforts will be made to minimize these occurrences by the provision of scientifically-based, individualized exercise and physical activity recommendations together with an opportunity for regular assessments of my progress and on-going revision of my exercise and physical activity recommendations if I participate in or use a Product supervised by an INTERVENT staff member. Also, I will follow my exercise and physical activity recommendations, record the details in my exercise diary and report any untoward situations to my physician and to INTERVENT. I further understand that there may be risks associated with making dietary changes, such as an increased risk for gallstones and, for persons with diabetes, fluctuations in blood sugar levels. I fully understand the risks associated with exercise and physical activity and dietary changes, including the risk of bodily injury, heart attack, stroke, coma, or even death, but knowing these risks, it is my desire to participate as herein indicated. I do hereby acknowledge that I have been informed of the need for a physician's approval for my participation in an exercise training/physical activity program. I also acknowledge that it has been recommended that I have a yearly or more frequent physical examination and that I should consult with my physician as to my current medical condition (or any changes in it) and my participation in an exercise training/physical activity program so that I might receive recommendations concerning these activities. I confirm that I have either had a recent physical examination and have been given a physician's permission to participate or that I have decided to participate in an exercise training/physical activity and lifestyle management program without the approval of my physician and do hereby assume all responsibility for and accept any and all risks of my participation and activities. I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IF I AM GIVEN AN INTERVENT MEDICAL CLEARANCE FORM REGARDING EXERCISE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR MY PHYSICIAN TO REVIEW AND SIGN AND DO NOT RETURN IT TO INTERVENT, I HAVE, BY MY ACTION OR INACTION, DECIDED TO PARTICIPATE IN AN EXERCISE TRAINING/PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROGRAM WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF MY PHYSICIAN AND DO HEREBY ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY PARTICIPATION AND ACTIVITIES AND EXPRESSLY ASSUME AND ACCEPT ANY AND ALL RISKS OF MY ACTION AND INACTION.
  3. Benefits to be expected
    I recognize that participation in or use of the Services may allow me to learn proper ways to modify my lifestyle through correct exercise and physical activity, nutrition, stress management, smoking cessation (if appropriate), and other activities. I further understand that if I closely follow the Sites', the Services' or INTERVENT staff's instructions together with those of my physician, these experiences should benefit me by helping to improve my health and fitness and reduce my risk for certain chronic illnesses. I realize that results vary from individual to individual and that the Services may or may not benefit my physical fitness, weight, or general health.
  4. Confidentiality and use of information
    The information provided by me or from health and fitness devices that I use and have linked to the Site will be used by INTERVENT and its Business Associates, as defined under 45 CFR § 106.103 and in a manner consistent with INTERVENT's Privacy Policy, in the course of determining lifestyle changes and evaluating my progress. I have been informed that the information obtained from me will be treated as confidential and will consequently not be released or revealed to any unaffiliated third party without my express written consent. I do, however, agree to the use of any information that is not personally identifiable with me for research and statistical purposes so long as the same does not identify me or provide facts that could lead to my identification. Such use may include sharing my non-personally identifiable information on a confidential basis with a data warehouse for analysis of health trends and effectiveness of health programs or other third party service providers, including those associated with my employer or health plan. I also understand that if receiving an incentive for participation, my name may be provided to the appropriate party for incentive fulfillment purposes. I understand that providing family medical history to my coach is completely voluntary and will not affect any reward, if offered, for completion of this program. I acknowledge that without this information, INTERVENT may not be able to provide me with the most appropriate health information for my needs.
  5. Records release policy
    a. While participating in or using a paid Service: 1. you have the right to access and print any of your own records from our secure Internet-site at your discretion for you to provide anyone that you choose; and 2. upon your request we will mail a hard copy to your primary physician. Depending on the Service you select, there may or may not be a cost to you if you request that we mail a hard copy to your primary physician. b. After your Site access has expired, you may request permission to access and print your records free of charge. You must request reactivation of your account by providing written confirmation that you wish to have access to these reports and provide your full name, address, email address, date of birth, and any appropriate ID number. c. After your Site access has expired or Services have ended, you may request that INTERVENT mail your records to you or to any other third party for a materials and handling fee of $25.00 as follows:
    • You must provide written confirmation that you wish INTERVENT to mail these reports to you and/or a third party and your full name, address, email address, date of birth and any appropriate ID number.
    • If you wish INTERVENT to provide these reports to a third party, written confirmation of the third party's address must be provided.
