Patient Agreement

This Agreement is in addition to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy

If you do not agree, you should click “I Do Not Agree” and you will not be permitted to access the Platform and complete your registration for the access to the Services.
Make sure to print a copy of this Agreement for your records.
1. Scope of Medical Care
The Services do not replace your existing relationships with your doctors, but rather, are intended only to supplement those relationships related to your non-emergent alcohol use and dependency needs.
The Services are not available outside the United States and the Services are only available in certain states within the United States.
2. Solicitation to Request Access and Eligibility Determination
Nothing on the Platform constitutes an "offer" on behalf of LifeBac or the Provider, but is rather an invitation for you to request to access the Services via the Platform. You will be required to submit certain information to LifeBac in order to complete your registration and depending on the information submitted, your eligibility to receive the Services will be determined. Such eligibility may be based on many different factors, including but not limited to your state of residence, current medical conditions or medications, or current alcohol consumption levels. LifeBac does not guarantee the receipt of Services through the Platform even following your full registration. In addition to the initial registration information, LifeBac and/or the Providers may require additional verifications or information before granting any request to access the Services. The information you submit as part of your registration includes certain personally identifiable information as well as your medical history. All information submitted to or collected by LifeBac as part of the registration process, through the Platform, is subject to our Privacy Policy and will only be used or disclosed in accordance with applicable law, including those laws related to the privacy and security of health information related to treatment for alcohol use. You represent that all information you provide as part of the registration process is truthful and accurate.
Once you have submitted all required information as part of the registration process, you will be provided with an appointment with a Provider. This appointment will be free, unless you are otherwise notified that you will be charged for the appointment. The purpose of this initial appointment is to confirm your eligibility to receive the Services through the Platform. The LifeBac solution is inclusive and holistic. If you are eligible to receive the Services, you agree to use the Providers (affiliated and contracted by LifeBac), as well as LifeBac’s contracted pharmacy. Neither LifeBac nor the Providers can guarantee results through your receipt of the Services through the Platform.
All offers set forth on the Platform are void where prohibited.
3. Informed Consent Required
Your use of the Platform is subject to your consent to receive the Services, as set forth in the Informed Consent document.
4. Financial Agreement
By scheduling the appointment with the Provider, you agree that if you are determined to be eligible to receive the Services through the Platform immediately following registration and the first Provider appointment, as described in Section 2 above, the credit card you provided at registration will be billed for your first month’s subscription to receive Services through the Platform. You further agree that thereafter, on the same date each month, your credit card will be billed the monthly subscription fee until you cancel your subscription. For pre-paid 3, 6, and 12 month plans the credit card you provided at registration will be billed for your first 3, 6, or 12 month subscription to receive Services through the Platform. You further agree that thereafter, on the same date each 3, 6, or 12 months, your credit card will be billed the 3, 6, or 12 month subscription fee until you cancel your subscription. The Services can be cancelled at any time upon 5 days’ notice prior to the monthly charge date by calling (888) 959-8858. There will be no partial refunds; once the monthly cancellation date has passed, the subscription payment for that month will not be refunded.
5. User Names and Access
As part of the registration process, you will create a user name and password. You agree that you are responsible for protecting and maintaining the security of your username, password, e-mail address, and other information and materials (the “Registration Information”) and for all uses of and actions taken on the Platform using your Registration Information.
