Use of the HTH Interactive Resources constitutes acceptance to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

As used in this Agreement, "Providers" means "health care providers" and includes (but is not limited to) individual physicians, physician groups, hospitals, clinics and health systems that participate in HTH's selected community of participating providers.

Summary of "Terms of Use; Legal Disclaimer" (For full text, see Section 6 of this Agreement.) Use of any of the information and data contained in the HTH Website (all such information and data shall be referred to as the "Content"), use of the HTH Website and use of the HTH Interactive Resources is entirely at your own risk.

Any and all family members (dependents) registered under your account shall be bound by the terms and conditions in this Agreement. You acknowledge, agree, and warrant that you will provide access to your Password only to insured spouses and/or dependents and you agree that any user of your Password is bound by the terms set forth in this Agreement.

Upon completion of the site registration process, which includes acceptance of this Agreement, you will select a unique password ("Password").

2. Use of the HTH Website and HTH Interactive Resources.
You agree not to use the HTH Website or the HTH Website for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The HTH Website contains valuable, proprietary content owned by HTH that is protected by state, federal, and international law, including, without limitation, copyright and trade secret laws. You may use such proprietary information solely in connection with the HTH Interactive Resources. Any other use is strictly prohibited.

One feature of the HTH Interactive Resources that may be available is the ability to communicate appointment requests to select Providers (the "Appointment Request Feature"). The Appointment Request Feature, when available, shall be provided solely to assist you to request and to schedule legitimate medical appointments with Providers. Any speculative, false or fraudulent appointment requests are strictly prohibited. You understand and agree that overuse or abuse of the Appointment Request Feature may result in your being denied access to the Appointment Request Feature.

3. Security of HTH's Website; Use of the Internet.
HTH makes reasonable efforts to maintain security of the HTH Website. In some cases when utilizing the HTH Interactive Resources, you will have the option to enter the HTH secure server and will therefore be protected by the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, utilized by most popular browsers, including Netscape and Microsoft Explorer. This technology allows HTH to use advanced encryption tools to protect information transmitted between your computer and our server. Through encryption, the personal information you enter is converted into code so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet. Despite HTH's reasonable efforts to maintain security, you acknowledge that use of the Internet is solely at your own risk and subject to all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations. Actual or attempted unauthorized use of the HTH Website or the information provided by you or other parties in connection with the HTH Interactive Resources may result in criminal and/or civil prosecution. For your protection, HTH reserves the right to view, monitor, and record activity on the HTH Website without notice or permission from you. Any information obtained from monitoring, reviewing, or recording is subject to review by law enforcement organizations in connection with investigation or prosecution of possible criminal activity relating to the HTH Website. HTH will also comply with all court orders involving requests for such information.

4. Confidentiality of Information; Authority to Release Information to Providers.
HTH acknowledges that, in connection with your use of the HTH Interactive Resources, some of the information you will provide, either directly through the HTH Website or to the HTH Service Representative, is personal. Any and all information which you provide shall be used by HTH solely in connection with the HTH Interactive Resources.

You acknowledge that any and all information which you provide to HTH relating to an appointment request (either directly onto the HTH Website or to the HTH Service Representative) may be communicated (by phone, fax or e-mail using the Internet) to a Provider designated by you (which may include such Provider's office staff, appointment scheduling assistants, etc.). You acknowledge and understand that, despite the precautions set forth in this Agreement, HTH does not guarantee the confidentiality of such information.

Even though the information you provide to HTH and/or a Provider during the appointment request process may relate to your medical condition(s), you acknowledge and agree that such information shall not constitute a medical record. As a condition to and in consideration of your ability to utilize the HTH Interactive Resources, you agree that HTH shall have the authority to release (by way of telephone, fax, and/or e-mail using the Internet) any and all information which you provide, of any nature whatsoever, including but not limited to information relating to any physical and mental conditions (including, if applicable, information relating to AIDS, HIV status, and/or your psychiatric records/information) to the Provider(s) which you designate, whether or not you are ultimately seen by such Provider.

In addition, you acknowledge that HTH Interactive Resources contains personal information relating to your claims and claims history. You specifically acknowledge that any person that has access to your Password will have access to such claims information.

5. Provider/Patient Relationship.
You understand that the HTH Interactive Resources serve only as an intermediary function that facilitates connections between Providers and patients. You acknowledge that none of the Providers are employed by or affiliated with HTH, in any way, other than with respect to their agreement to accept requests for appointments from HTH. You acknowledge that the Providers are not obligated to satisfy your appointment requests and that HTH cannot guarantee that your appointment requests will be satisfied. In addition, you acknowledge that you are under no obligation to accept appointment once it has been offered. You acknowledge and understand that, if you are in need of emergency medical services, you should contact the local emergency medical services. HTH cannot be relied upon to make appointments in any particular timeframe. You acknowledge that any Provider which you choose to see has the sole responsibility for the professional care provided to you. HTH assumes no responsibility or liability, of any nature whatsoever, for any claims, including but not limited to medical malpractice claim, that may result from your interaction with a Provider.

You acknowledge and agree that HTH is not a medical referral service, and does not recommend or endorse any particular doctors, dentists, healthcare providers, hospitals, medical clinics, physician practices, or medical services of any kind. HTH does not offer advice regarding the quality or suitability of any particular medical treatment or remedy for any medical condition. Information on the HTH Website or provided to you by an HTH Service Representative in conjunction with the HTH Interactive Resources should not be construed, in any manner, as health or medical advice. You also understand that in inviting and accepting healthcare Providers for participation with HTH, HTH relies, in part, upon information provided by third-parties, including information provided by the Providers themselves. HTH is not and cannot be held liable or responsible for inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information (collectively, "misinformation") given to it by third parties, whether or not HTH could have discovered such misinformation. HTH does not maintain malpractice insurance coverage on behalf of any of the Providers.

You understand that HTH is not responsible or liable for any costs, expenses, or charges, of any nature whatsoever, in connection with the professional services provided to you by a Provider. In addition, you understand that a Provider may, in some cases, require you to pay for professional services which are rendered, directly to the Provider, at the time such services are provided, in accordance with such Provider's customary fee schedule. Any such medicals costs and/or insurance benefits are governed by the terms and conditions of your insurance policy, not this Site Use Agreement. See your insurance certificate for coverage details.
