Supplemental Terms of Use

Effective May 6, 2019

​

​

Your use of the Services is governed by our Terms of Use.  In addition, if the Services that you receive from us include the supply to you by us of one or more of the devices described below (a “Device”), your use of the Services is governed by these Supplemental Terms of Use (the “Supplemental Terms”), which supplement our Terms of Use and are also an agreement between you and CardiacFITT, LLC. (“Company”, “we” or “us”). Nothing in these Supplemental Terms changes the Terms of Use, except as expressly provided below.

 

By using the Services with a Device, you agree to these Supplemental Terms in addition to the Terms of Use. If you are using the Services without a Device, your use of the Services are governed by the Terms of Use only.

 

1. Blood Glucose Meter

When we supply to you a blood glucose meter (also known as a glucometer) as a part of the Services, that blood glucose meter will transmit your health information to us through appropriately secure cellular and internet connections. When you first activate the blood glucose meter, the device may ask you to read and consent to the device manufacturer’s user agreements (for example, its terms of service and privacy policy) and may prevent you from connecting your blood glucose meter to the Services without first consenting to the device manufacturer’s user agreements. Despite any requirement to consent to the manufacturer’s user agreements, the device manufacturer has agreed that, while you are a participant in the Services, the manufacturer’s user agreements will not apply to your use of the blood glucose meter to the extent that those terms conflict with CardiacFITT ’s Terms of Use, Privacy Policy or Notice of HIPAA Privacy Practices. The manufacturer also has agreed that, while you are a participant in the Services, only CardiacFITT ’s Privacy Policy and Notice of HIPAA Privacy Practices and not the manufacturer’s privacy policy will apply to your use of the blood glucose meter. If you continue to use the blood glucose meter after the time that these Supplemental Terms no longer apply to you with respect to the blood glucose meter as described in Section 3 below (e.g., your termination or disenrollment from the Services), the device manufacturer’s user agreements will apply in full to your use of the blood glucose meter from that point forward.

​

2. Blood Pressure Monitor.

When we supply a blood pressure monitor as a part of the Services, that blood pressure monitor will transmit your health information to us through appropriately secure cellular and internet connections. The device manufacturer has agreed that the device will not ask you to read and consent to the device manufacturer’s user agreements or prevent you from connecting your blood glucose meter to the Services without first consenting to the device manufacturer’s user agreements.

​

3. Disenrollment or Termination of Services 

If you terminate your account with us or are otherwise disenrolled or terminated from the Services for any reason (e.g., closing your account, losing your eligibility for the Services for any reason or being terminated by us), these Supplemental Terms will cease to apply to you as to the Device that we provided to you.

​

4. Privacy and Data Collection from Devices

When we supply a Device to you as a part of the Services, your personal health information collected by that Device is collected at our request, and our Privacy Policy and HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices will apply to such information in accordance with the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above.

 

5. Conflict  

To the extent these Supplemental Terms conflict with the Terms of Use (including Section 9, “Third Party Website and Materials”), the terms of these Supplement Terms will control to the extent of the conflict.
