Hello, and welcome to Galileo!

Galileo is a technology company that offers a platform for you to receive exceptional and comprehensive clinical care directly on your phone.

As a courtesy, we want to call your attention to several parts of our Terms of Use. You should know though that these highlights are not part of our official, binding legal terms – rather, they’re simply summaries without force or effect. You should read the entire Terms of Use before accessing or using Galileo’s website or mobile application, which can be found under the “Terms of Use” heading below.

• All health care services you will receive are provided by independent, licensed doctors and nurse practitioners practicing within a group of independently owned professional practices. Throughout the Terms of Use, we call them the “Medical Group.” In order for us to pair you with a doctor or nurse licensed in your state, it is important that you accurately identify your location before joining a virtual visit. You can read more about the benefits and limitations of telehealth in our Informed Consent here. 

• The doctors and nurse practitioners you interact with through Galileo will be able to address most of your day-to-day health needs, but the Galileo app cannot be used for medical emergencies. If you have a medical emergency, call “911” immediately.

• Galileo respects your right to privacy. You can read more about our privacy practices here. 

• We may contact you with important information by email, push notification, SMS, or phone, including that your care plan is ready, progress tracking, and refill reminders. While you can opt out of these in your account settings, you may not receive certain helpful information and reminders about your progress and treatment. 

• You should also know that if our Member Services Team can’t help you with a dispute, except for certain disputes listed in the Terms, the dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration in an individual capacity, and not as a part of any class action. Arbitration means a professional arbitrator will decide how to resolve our dispute instead of a judge or a jury in court, and it often helps resolve things faster. Also be aware that the Terms provide that Galileo’s liability is limited in all circumstances.

• Finally, be aware that Galileo is not insurance, and Galileo and the Medical Group are not insurers. Your subscription fee covers only the remote healthcare conversations you have with the Medical Group’s Providers via the Galileo app, and does not cover the cost of any diagnostic test or prescription ordered, or any specialty care referred, by the Medical Group. 

 We look forward to seeing you in Galileo!

Terms of Use

The Site is not intended for use in the event of an emergency or other urgent situations. If you believe you may have a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

Galileo, Inc. (“Galileo”, “we,” “our” or “us”) owns and operates the website www.galileohealth.com and the Galileo mobile application (collectively, the “Site”). We facilitate access to online clinical telehealth services and secure messaging from independent licensed healthcare professionals (the “Providers”) to patients through the Site (collectively, the “Services”). Please read these Terms carefully before using the Services. By accessing and using our Site, you are agreeing to these legally binding these Terms of Use, including the mandatory arbitration provision in Section 17. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms, you may not access or use the Site or the Services.

1. Healthcare Services

Galileo offers an online communication platform for independent Providers and their patients to connect via the Site through the use of synchronous and asynchronous telecommunications technologies. The Site facilitates communication between patients and Providers.

Galileo does not provide medical advice or care. Galileo contracts with Galilea Medical Group, P.A., an independent, physician-owned medical group with a network of Providers who provide clinical telehealth services, and its related practices (collectively, the “Medical Group”). The Providers are independent of Galileo and merely use the Site as a way to communicate with you. The Providers, and not Galileo, are responsible for the quality and appropriateness of the care they render to you. Any information or advice received from a Provider comes from them alone. Neither Galileo nor any third party who promotes the Site or Service or provides you with a link to the Service, shall be liable for any professional advice you obtained from a Provider via the Site, nor for any information obtained on the Site. You acknowledge that your reliance on any Providers or information delivered by the Providers via the Site or Service is solely at your own risk and you assume full responsibility for all associated risks.  

The content of the Site and the Services, including without limitation, text, copy, audio, video, photographs, illustrations, graphics and other visuals, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or recommendations of any kind by Galileo. You should always seek the advice of your qualified health care professionals with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your individual needs and any medical conditions. While Galileo facilitates your selection of, and communications with, Providers, Galileo does not provide medical services, and the doctor-patient relationship is between you and your Medical Group Provider. The services and information provided by Galileo, are intended to be for general information purposes only.

2. Risks of Telehealth Services

By using the Services, you acknowledge the potential risks associated with telehealth services. These include but are not limited to the following: information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g. poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate medical or health care decision making by the Provider; delays in evaluation or treatment could occur due to failures of electronic equipment; a lack of access to your medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors; although the electronic systems we use incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information, those protocols could fail causing a breach of privacy of your health information. 

3. Not an Insurance Product

Neither Galileo nor the Medical Group are insurers. The Services are not insurance products, and the amounts you pay to Galileo or the Medical Group are not insurance premiums. If you desire any type of health or other insurance, you will need to purchase such insurance separately.

4. Availability of Services

Galileo and the Medical Group operate subject to state and federal regulations, and the Services may not be available in your state. You represent that you are not a person barred from enrolling for and/or receiving the Services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions in which you may be located. Access to and use of the Site and/or the Services is limited exclusively to users located in States within the United States where the Services are available. Services are not available to users located outside the United States. 

Certain features of the Site may be subject to additional terms and conditions (“Additional Terms”). We may present Additional Terms to you when you activate or use a feature to which Additional Terms apply (either in the form of disclaimers or notices, or a separate document), and your use of any feature constitutes your acceptance of these Additional Terms before using such feature. Unless otherwise stated in the Additional Terms, all Additional Terms are incorporated into these Terms. If you do not agree with the Additional Terms, you will not have access to the feature to which they relate. 

5. Privacy Practices

The Galileo Site Privacy Policy explains how we treat your information and protect your privacy. By accessing or using Site or Services, you agree that information provided by you in connection with the Services and Site will be governed by the Privacy Policy, and further that information provided by you in connection with the Services will also be governed by the Medical Group’s Notice of Privacy Practices.

You must resolve any payment method problems before we proceed with your Transaction.

11.2. Subscription Autorenewal Policy

You may cancel your Subscription by going to the My Membership tab in the Account Settings section of your Profile in the app. We reserve the right to change Subscription prices or this Subscription Autorenewal Policy at any time in our sole discretion.

If we offer you a free or discounted trial, the specific terms of your trial will be provided in the marketing materials describing the particular trial or at registration. Free and discounted trials are limited to one (1) per person. 

Once your free or discounted trial ends, we (or our third-party payment processor) will begin billing your designated payment method on a recurring basis for your Subscription (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) for as long as your Subscription continues, unless you cancel your Subscription prior to the end of your free or discounted trial. Instructions for canceling your Subscription are described above. Please note that you may not receive a notice from us that your free or discounted trial has ended or that the paid portion of your Subscription has begun. We reserve the right to modify or terminate free and discounted trials at any time, without notice and in our sole discretion.

All of our services are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any Transaction, to reject all or part of a Transaction, and to discontinue offering certain services without prior notice. If you purchased an annual Subscription, you agree that, within the 365-day period beginning on the date of you purchase your Subscription and each renewal year thereafter, you are limited to thirty-six (36) clinical visits during such 365-day period as part of your Subscription.

17. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration 

Please read the following sub-sections carefully because they require you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Galileo and limit the manner in which you can seek relief from us, including a class action waiver. This Section 17 applies to all Disputes (unless excluded under Section 17) between you and the Galileo Parties. 

17.1. Binding Arbitration

Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) in which either party seeks to bring 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 Galileo agree (a) to waive your and Galileo’s respective rights to have any and all disputes arising from or related to these Terms, or the Site, resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and Galileo’s respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and Galileo 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).

17.2. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions

You and Galileo agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site is personal to you and Galileo 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 Galileo 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 Galileo 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.

17.3. Federal Arbitration Act

You and Galileo agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 17 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.

17.4. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution

You and Galileo agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to Galileo shall be sent by certified mail or courier to Galileo, Inc. Attn: Legal Dept., 64 Bleecker St.#151, New York, NY 10012. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your Account and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent electronically in accordance with Section 6 and will include (x) our name, postal address, telephone number and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute, (y) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (z) the specific relief that we are seeking. If you and Galileo cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or Galileo may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 17, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in Section 17.1, file a claim in court.

17.5. Process

Except for Disputes in which either party seeks to bring 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 Galileo agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed by you or Galileo within one (1) year of the date the Dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you and Galileo will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute). You and Galileo agree that (a) any arbitration will occur (i) in the State of Delaware, (ii) in the county where you reside, or (iii) 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 Wilmington, Delaware and that state or federal courts of the State of Delaware and the United States, respectively, sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, have exclusive jurisdiction over any litigation in aid of arbitration and the enforcement of any arbitration awards. The parties shall attempt to agree on the single arbitrator to be appointed to resolve the Dispute. If the parties are unable to reach agreement within 30 days after commencement of the arbitration with the AAA, the arbitrator selection process identified in the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules shall apply.  You may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court. Each party shall be responsible for its costs incurred in such arbitration, but the arbitrator shall not have the authority to re-allocate those costs in an award or otherwise. If you cannot afford to pay for the arbitration, you agree to provide us the option of paying the arbitrator before seeking to initiate any other form of dispute resolution, including litigation. As part of the arbitration, both you and Galileo will have the opportunity to reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant and material to the Dispute, including the ability to request from each other, and third parties, documents, information and testimony that is relevant and material to the Dispute. 

17.6. 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. 

17.7. AAA Rules

The AAA Rules and additional information about the AAA are available on the AAA website.  By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the AAA Rules, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the AAA Rules and any claim that the AAA Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

17.8. Severability

If any term, clause or provision of this Section 17 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 17 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in Section 17.2 are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.

17.9. Opt-Out Right

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 17 by writing to support@galileohealth.com. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By not opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 17.

18. Governing Law

These Terms, and your access to and use of the Site shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court, shall be resolved on an individual basis in the state or federal courts of the State of Delaware and the United States, respectively, sitting in Wilmington, Delaware.

19. Application Support
