Customer Agreement

I hereby enter into this customer agreement (the “Agreement”), including the additional terms and conditions (the “Schedule A”) with Bridge Health and each associated Dispensing Pharmacy (defined below), and I understand that I am legally bound by the following:

1.01

I am willfully entering into this Agreement with Bridge Health because I wish to place an order (“My Order”) for medications (“My Medications”) on the terms and conditions set out herein.

1.02

I WANT TO PURCHASE MY MEDICATIONS FROM, AND HAVE MY ORDER FILLED BY, A LICENSED, INTERNATIONAL PHARMACY OR FULFILLMENT CENTER THAT MAY NOT BE LOCATED IN MY COUNTRY.

1.03

I confirm, acknowledge and agree that, as part of the order process, I have indicated that:

  • I want to purchase My Medications from, and have My Order filled by, a pharmacy located outside of my country, and that Bridge Health will, as my agent, select a licensed international pharmacy (each, a “Dispensing Pharmacy”), that may be located outside of my country to dispense My Medications. Bridge Health will, as my agent, make the decision about which one (or more) Dispensing Pharmacy will dispense My Medications based on the availability and/or price of My Medications; and
  • I want to purchase My Medications from, and have My Order filled by, a Dispensing Pharmacy in another country, My Medications will be dispensed by a Dispensing Pharmacy in a country selected for me by Bridge Health, as my agent.

1.04

I understand that Bridge Health is not a pharmacy and that, in every case, I am purchasing My Medications from the Dispensing Pharmacy, and My Medications will be shipped directly to me by the Dispensing Pharmacy. If My Medications are being purchased from pharmacies in different countries, they will be shipped directly to me by the Dispensing Pharmacy in that country.

1.05

I confirm, acknowledge and agree that if My Medications are shipped to me from another country, I will be charged a separate shipping fee. I further acknowledge that each Dispensing Pharmacy will make reasonable efforts to jointly ship My Medications and those of any other person who resides at my same address in the same package, however there is no guarantee that this will occur and therefore I confirm, acknowledge and agree that I and any other person who resides at the same address may each be charged a shipping fee for My Medications.

1.06

I specifically confirm, acknowledge and agree that title to My Medications passes to me from the Dispensing Pharmacy when My Medications leave the Dispensing Pharmacy, and that (subject expressly to Sections 1.04 above and 1.9 of Schedule “A” attached) any and all agreements reached or contracts formed throughout the course of my purchase of My Medications are and shall be deemed to be made in respect of any of My Medications that are purchased in another country, in that country, and accordingly shall be governed by the laws of that country applicable to such contracts and agreements.

1.07

I specifically confirm, acknowledge and agree that (subject expressly to Sections 1.04 above and 1.9 of Schedule “A” attached) any dispute that arises between me and Bridge Health or any of My Agents (defined below) shall, insofar as such dispute relates to any of My Agents located in another country, be governed by the laws of that country applicable to contracts formed in that country and the courts of that country shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute.

1.08

The additional Terms and Conditions set out on Schedule “A” hereto, which Schedule is hereby incorporated herein by reference, form an integral part of this Agreement, and I acknowledge having read such terms and conditions and that I understand and agree to them.

I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING SCHEDULE “A” ATTACHED) AND I AGREE, ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, MY HEIRS, SUCCESSORS, ADMINISTRATORS AND ASSIGNS, TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. 

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (SCHEDULE “A”)

Part 1. Authorizations and Consents

1.1

The authorizations, appointments, powers of representation and consents that I am providing herein to Bridge Health and My Agents commence on the date I sign the Agreement OR Register on the Bridge Health website and they will continue until I cancel them. I understand that I can cancel the authorizations, appointments and consents I have herein granted at any time.

1.2

I hereby authorize and appoint Bridge Health and My Agents as my agents and attorneys for the limited purpose of taking all steps and signing all documents on my behalf necessary to obtain an Equivalent Prescription (defined below), if required by law in the country from which I am purchasing My Medications, to the same extent as I could do personally if I were present taking those steps and signing those documents myself. This authorization includes, but is not limited to: collecting Personal Information (defined below) about me; collecting similar information from My Doctor (defined below) or pharmacist; and disclosing my Personal Information to Bridge Health’s employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, affiliates and service providers, including without limitation any Agent Physician (defined below), any Dispensing Pharmacy and any pharmacist in a country being engaged on my behalf (collectively, “My Agents”), as required, for the limited purpose of obtaining the Equivalent Prescription and for My Order to be filled.

1.3

In this Agreement, the term(s):

  • “Equivalent Prescription” means a prescription or equivalent authorization or approval that (in accordance with Section 1.03 of the Agreement to which this Schedule “A” is attached (the “Agreement”)) is an equivalent of My Prescription (defined below) in the country I am purchasing from; and
  • “Personal Information” means personal health and medical information about me (including, without limitation, my medical history and drug history), my contact and demographic information (including, without limitation, my full name, address and phone number) and payment information.

1.4

Without limiting anything else herein, I hereby provide my consent to allow a physician retained by Bridge Health or My Agents as my agents and attorneys on my behalf (an “Agent Physician”), in any country where My Medications are being purchased, to obtain Personal Information and other necessary documentation from My Doctor. This Agent Physician will be a duly licensed physician in the country where I am purchasing My Medications. For example, if My Medications are being purchased in India via Bridge Health, this Agent Physician will be a licensed physician in India; if they are being purchased in more than one country, an Agent Physician will be engaged in each country in which My Medications are being purchased (if required by the laws of that country in order for My Prescription to be filled), in connection with those of My Medications that I am purchasing in that country.

1.5

I further consent to Bridge Health, and each Agent Physician, each Dispensing Pharmacy and My Doctor being able to contact one another to discuss my Personal Information, as it pertains to the prescribing and dispensing of My Medications. I understand that the reason for this consent is to provide each Agent Physician and each Dispensing Pharmacy with the full opportunity to conduct an independent analysis of whether My Prescription is appropriate, and discuss any potential medical complications that might arise. I further understand that my Personal Information will not be used for any other reason, and will be kept in strict confidence. I further confirm and acknowledge that I am under the ongoing care of My Doctor, and I agree to regularly visit My Doctor and to promptly advise the Agent Physician and Bridge Health of any changes to my medical condition or prescriptions. It is clearly understood that I am not seeking medical treatment or service of any kind from any Agent Physician, Bridge Health or My Agents with regards to any medical advice, professional advice or treatment of any kind whatsoever. I have relied only on My Doctor in respect of My Prescription.

I understand that the use of electronic means will enhance the efficiency and timeliness of processing My Order. I also understand that Bridge Health, as a custodian of my Personal Information, will take precautions to protect my Personal Information from improper disclosure or use. I hereby consent to Bridge Health’s transmission of my Personal Information by electronic means to My Agents.

  •  

1.7

If I was directed to Bridge Health’s services through an intermediary (for example, a pharmacy benefit manager, health management organization or other service provider, or a City or State or other group program), I hereby authorize Bridge Health to release Personal Information to such an intermediary if required for quality assurance or auditing purposes, or to permit the processing of any claims on my behalf. It is my understanding that all such SCHEDULE “A” intermediaries will provide confidentiality covenants to Bridge Health whereby they agree to hold any such information in strictest confidence and to abide by the privacy policies of Bridge Health relating to the protection of my Personal Information. I specifically consent to the transmission of the forgoing information to such intermediaries by electronic means.
