Copyright Infringement

WhatsUpDoc respects the intellectual property rights of others and we ask our Users and Members to do the same.  If you believe a User of the Site is infringing your copyright, please notify WhatsUpDoc in accordance with the following procedure:

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law.  If you believe in good faith that materials appearing on the Websites infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked.  In addition, if you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice.  Notices and counter-notices must meet statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA.  One place to find more information is the U.S. Copyright Office Web site, currently located  at http://www.loc.gov/copyright.  In accordance with the DMCA, WhatsUpDoc has designated an agent to receive notification of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the DMCA.  Any written Notification of Claimed infringement should comply with Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c)(3)(A) and should be provided in writing to Copyright Agent, What’s Up Doc, Ltd, 492C Cedar Lane, Suite #212, Teaneck, NJ 07666.

Confidentiality
"Confidential Information" includes all confidential or proprietary aspects of the Websites and Services, including any of their features and functionalities, in addition to any information you submit through the Services that a reasonable person would expect under the circumstances of disclosure to be kept confidential (e.g., any personal information or health information).

WhatsUpDoc and you (each a "Party", together, the “Parties”) will not disclose the Confidential Information of the other Party and will use the Confidential Information of the other Party only to exercise rights and fulfill obligations under these Terms of Use, while using reasonable care.  The receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the discloser when required by law after giving reasonable notice to the discloser, if permitted by law.  Except for the limited use rights under these Terms of Use, neither Party acquires any right, title, or interest in the other Party's Confidential Information.

The Parties agree that any breach of this section by the other may cause irreparable injury not adequately compensable with monetary damages.  Accordingly, in addition to any rights otherwise available at law, in equity or by statute, the non-breaching Party is entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless WhatsUpDoc and its officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, licensors, licensees, suppliers, affiliated companies and marketing partners, together with their respective employees, agents, directors, officers and members from and against any and all claims, actions, proceedings and suits and all related liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of:  (a) your use or misuse of the Websites or any of the Services, (b) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms of Use, (c) your violation of any law, rule, regulation or rights of others in connection with your use of the Websites or any of the Services, (d) your use or disclosure of another person’s personal, financial or credit information or (e) the infringement, violation or misappropriation of any copyright, trade secret, or any other intellectual property rights or the violation of any property or privacy right arising from any of the information that you post on the Websites or transmit through the use of any of the Services.

Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to waive your right to a jury trial and arbitrate certain disputes and claims with WhatsUpDoc, and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.  No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under these Terms of Use.

Except for (a) small claims disputes in which you or WhatsUpDoc seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address, or (b) disputes in which you or WhatsUpDoc seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and WhatsUpDoc waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms of Use, the Websites or the Services resolved in court.  Should you have a dispute against WhatsUpDoc, you agree to first contact WhatsUpDoc and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim ("Notice") to WhatsUpDoc by email at: [email protected] or by certified mail addressed to: WhatsUpDocConnect, Attention: Claims, 492C Cedar Lane, Suite 212 , Teaneck, NJ 07666.  The Notice must: (i) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought.  Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above.  If you and WhatsUpDoc cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may, as appropriate and in accordance with this section, submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or, for (a) and (b) herein, small claims court.  All submitted disputes will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in Bergen County, New Jersey in accordance with the Rules and Procedures ("Rules") of AAA, which are available on the AAA website and hereby incorporated by reference.  You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of AAA or waive your opportunity to read the rules of AAA  and any claim that the rules of AAA are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

You and WhatsUpDoc agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms of Use, the Websites or the Services is personal to you and WhatsUpDoc and that any 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 WhatsUpDoc agree that these Terms of Use affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this section will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the "FAA"), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.  As limited by the FAA, these Terms of Use and the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability; 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 of Use. 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.

The arbitrators, WhatsUpDoc and you will maintain the confidentiality of any proceedings, including, but not limited to, any and all information gathered, prepared, and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein.  The arbitrators will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard that confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary.

You and WhatsUpDoc agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and WhatsUpDoc will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs.  For any arbitration initiated by WhatsUpDoc, WhatsUpDoc will pay all AAA fees and costs.  You and WhatsUpDoc agree that the state courts of the State of New Jersey and the United States District Court sitting in New Jersey have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms of Use, the Website or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose; otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you will not have the right to assert the claim.

If any portion of this arbitration section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms of Use; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the arbitration section or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the arbitration section; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this arbitration section is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this section will be enforceable.

Governing Law
These Terms of Use and your use of the Websites and Services are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to its conflict of laws principles.  Any dispute between the Parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the State Court of New Jersey sitting in Bergen County and the United States District Court sitting in Newark, New Jersey. 

Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms of Use is adjudged to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall not be affected thereby, that the provision in question may be replaced by the lawful provision that most nearly embodies the original intention of the Parties, and that these Terms of Use shall in any event otherwise remain valid and enforceable. No waiver by WhatsUpDoc of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use 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 of WhatsUpDoc to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

In no event will WhatsUpDoc be deemed in default hereunder based on delay in, or failure of, performance if caused by floods, fires, storms or other acts of God, by war or acts of public enemy, including terrorism, or civil disturbance, strikes, lockouts, shortage of labor, labor disputes or labor trouble, problems in obtaining raw materials or production facilities, power failure, equipment failure, transportation shortages or failures, actions of any governmental or other authority, or any other cause not within WhatsUpDoc's reasonable control.

These Terms of Use are for the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Parties.  No third party shall be considered a third-party beneficiary hereunder.  You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use without the prior written consent of WhatsUpDoc.

Introduction
Whats Up Doc Ltd ("WhatsUpDoc", "we", or "our") recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of your personal information.  Our privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") explains how WhatsUpDoc collects, uses and discloses information from and/or about you when you use the websites located at WhatsUpDocConnect.com, the software thereon, and related websites and mobile applications which may use various different branding and which link to our Terms of Use (collectively, the “Websites”), and/or the services provided through the Websites to people who visit the Websites (the "Services"). 

In addition, any individually identifiable health information that you provide to us for purposes of receiving medical care (referred to as "Protected Health Information" or "PHI") will be subject to the WhatsUpDoc Notice of Privacy Practices, which describes how WhatsUpDoc can use and share your PHI and describes your rights with respect to this information.  The Notice of Privacy Practices (and not this Privacy Policy) will govern our privacy practices with respect to your Protected Health Information.

By using the Websites or Services, you acknowledge the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy and agree that we can collect and use your information as described herein.  The information we collect or maintain and how we use and protect that information for each use is described in detail below.  If you do not agree with the Privacy Policy, do not use the Websites or Services.  By using the Websites and/or Services, you indicate that you agree that WhatsUpDoc may collect and use your information as described herein.

This Privacy Policy is effective as of the "Last Modified" Date at the top of this Privacy Policy.  We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time.  If we do, we will post the revised Privacy Policy on this page and update the "Last Modified" date at the top.  By continuing to use the Websites and/or Services following notice of such changes, you acknowledge such changes and agree to their terms and conditions.

Definitions
As used in this Privacy Policy, the term "Personal Information" means information about you that is personally identifiable, such as contact information, health information and other non-public information that is personally identifiable.  The term "De-Identified Information" refers to information that cannot be used to identify you.

Personal Information We Collect or Maintain
The Personal Information we collect or maintain when you use the Websites and/or Services includes:  (a) information you provide when you register, including your name, email address, phone number, physical address, age, demographic information, profile photo, professional credentials and experience, and account authentication credentials; (b) information you provide relating to your health and health history; (c) other information you submit through the Websites or Services as well as information generated through your use of the Websites or Services, such as your diagnosis, care plan, and transcripts of text chats associated with your visits; (d) third-party website, network, platform, server, and/or application information (e.g., Facebook, Tune); (e) usage activity concerning your interactions with the Websites, Services and/or other third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers, or applications accessed through the Websites and/or the App (e.g., number of clicks on a page, identity of third-party websites, networks, platforms, servers and applications being accessed through the Websites or Services); (f) usage activity concerning products and services provided to or accessed by you on or through the Websites or Services (e.g., viewing habits, viewing preferences, viewing history, title selections, favorites, streams, downloads, demographics and closed captioning selections); (g) statements or content (e.g., comments, videos, photographs, images), and information about such statements or content, which you submit or publish on or through the Websites or Services, or which are accessed via your public or linked social media pages (e.g., Facebook).

Online Tracking and Information We Collect Automatically
We currently do not respond to "Do Not Track" requests across all parts of our Websites and Services.  By visiting, accessing or using the Websites or Services, you acknowledge and agree in each instance that you are giving WhatsUpDoc permission to monitor or otherwise track your activities on the Websites or Services and to use the technologies and/or other tracking, data aggregation and data analysis technologies described in this Privacy Policy.

As you use the Websites or Services, we may use technologies that automatically collect and analyze information, such as your device's IP address, the type of device you are using, browser type and version, time and date of visit, time spent on those pages and additional usage statistics.  We may also collect device and advertising identifiers, pages that you visit before and after using the Websites or Services, the date and time of your visit, information about the links you click and pages you view within the Websites or Services, and other standard server log information.

In addition, we use Google Analytics to collect information related to your use of the Websites.  We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Websites and Services.  This service collects the IP address assigned to you when you visit the Websites but does not collect your name.  Google Analytics plants a persistent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Websites.  The cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google.  Google's use of the information it collects about your visits is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

We also use other analytic tools and services which are offered by third parties, to track, measure and/or generate information about a website's or program's traffic, sales, audience and similar information, and which may be used for various reasons, such as statistical research, marketing research, content ratings research, and conversion tracking.  We may also collect non-personal information from your mobile device or computer which may be used to help us deliver the most relevant information to you.  Examples of information that may be collected and used include how you use the application(s) and information about the type of device or computer you use.  In the event our application(s) crashes on your mobile device, we will receive information about your mobile device model software version and device carrier, which allows us to identify and fix bugs and otherwise improve the performance of our application(s).

We may also use “cookies”.  A “cookie” is an element of data that a website can send to your browser when you link to that website.  It is not a computer program and has no ability to read data residing on your computer or instruct it to perform any step or function.  By assigning a unique data element to each visitor, the website is able to recognize repeat users, track usage patterns and better serve you when you return to that site.  Our cookies do not extract other personal information about you, such as your name or address.  You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features.  We may also use what is known as “client-side page tagging,” which uses code on each page to write certain information about the page and the visitor to a log when a page is rendered by your web browser.  “Tagging” does result in a JavaScript program running on your computer, but it is limited to providing information about the page that you are requesting and the configuration of your browser.  It will not read any of your data files, or execute any additional programs.  It does not extract any personal information about you, such as your name or address.  You can prevent tagging by disabling JavaScript in your browser, but that may prevent you from using all of our Site’s functions.

How We Protect Personal Information
We strive to implement reasonable and appropriate physical, technical and administrative measures to protect information under our control.  However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is fully secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Use of Personal Information
