Terms of Use
Welcome to Phil, an online prescription management and delivery platform (the “Services”) made available by Phil, Inc. (“Phil,” “we,” “us” or “our”). You can access the Services through our web application, text messaging and email communications. Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) carefully because they serve as an agreement between you and Phil. If you do not agree to these Terms or are younger than eighteen (18) years old, do not use the Services.
By accessing or using the Services in any way, including without limitation, browsing the Services, using any information, or submitting any content or personal information via the Services, you agree to and are bound by the terms, conditions, policies, and notices contained in these Terms, including conducting this transaction electronically, certain third-party terms and conditions, disclaimers of warranties, damage and remedy exclusions and limitations, binding arbitration, venue selection, and a choice of California law. You represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years old and possess the legal right to agree to these terms.
Phil is a Prescription Management Platform
Phil enables you to place an order for one (1) or more of your prescription medication needs (“Order“) and acts as a prescription management platform only. Each medication that you order through Phil must be based on a valid prescription issued for a legitimate medical purpose by a medical professional acting in the usual course of his/her professional practice. The Services are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and do not constitute medical or other professional advice. Phil does not recommend or endorse any specific tests, physicians, products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on the Services or by any other electronic means. Reliance on any information provided by Phil is solely at your own risk. The information provided through Phil’s Services is designed to support, not replace, the relationship that exists between patient/site-visitor and his/her physician. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read or seen on our Services.
Order Fulfillment by Pharmacy
When you place an Order through Phil, we work with a pharmacy that processes your Order and fills your prescriptions (each, a “Pharmacy”). You acknowledge and agree that Phil is not a pharmacy and that we don’t fill prescriptions ourselves, nor do we manufacture, prepare, dispense or provide medications of any kind. You also acknowledge and agree that, although we may select certain pharmacies to work with based on various metrics we apply, our decision to work with a specific pharmacy should not be deemed as an endorsement of, or a warranty regarding the quality of services provided by, such pharmacy. If, for any reason, you aren’t satisfied with the manner in which a Pharmacy processed your Order, you agree to address this issue with the Pharmacy directly.
You also acknowledge and agree that we do not provide any medical advice, opinion, diagnosis or treatment, and that that no pharmacy-patient relationship or doctor-patient relationship is, or will be, established between Phil and you as a result of your use of the Services or otherwise. You should check product information (including package inserts) regarding dosages, precautions, warnings, interactions and contraindications before administering or using any medications. If you have any questions regarding your prescriptions, you should consult your healthcare professional or pharmacist, whose contact information may be listed on the prescription, the packaging of your prescription medicine or under your Account.
If your prescription medicine requires a device or equipment to utilize, we may loan you such device or equipment. In this case, you will be provided the device or equipment with your prescription order and will be given information on how and when to return the device or equipment. If you do not return the device or equipment as instructed, you may be charged the cost of the device or equipment.
IF YOU ARE HAVING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, DO NOT USE OUR SERVICES – CALL 911.
Authorization to Transfer Prescription
If your prescription was transferred to or originally filled by a non-participating pharmacy (not within Phil’s network) Phil may facilitate the transfer of your prescription to its participating pharmacy. By using Phil’s services, you authorize Phil to facilitate the transfer of your prescription to any participating pharmacy. Phil has the sole discretion to determine which participating pharmacy fills your prescription. Additionally, in order to provide you the best possible quality of service, you authorize Phil to facilitate the transfer of your prescription from one Phil partner pharmacy to another.
Agreement to Terms
By using our Services, you expressly acknowledge and agree to the following terms:
Phil may use the personal information you provide via the Services to process your Order and fill your prescription(s). If the Pharmacy initially chosen by the Services is unable to fill your prescription(s), you expressly agree that Phil may transfer your personal information to another Pharmacy to do so.
Phil may use your email to communicate with you regarding services, billing, and advertising. You understand that email communication has risk of third-party interception and maybe transmitted to unintended parties. You expressly agree to hold Phil harmless for any damages associated with the security breach of your email or erroneous transmission.
Phil may apply manufacturers’ financial assistance, such as coupons, discounts, repayment, and other reductions in your out-of-pocket expenses in compliance with state and federal laws and regulations applicable to drug manufacturers' assistance. Please note that manufacturers' financial assistance is not available for government-sponsored plans, such as Medicare or Medicaid.

Feedback to the Phil Services
Your opinion matters to us! We welcome feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to the Services (“Feedback”). You can submit Feedback by emailing us at hello@phil.us.

Payment for Your Order through Phil
When you submit an Order through Phil, the Pharmacy selected by the Services will calculate the total Order price, which will be based on: (i) the actual cash price charged by the Pharmacy for each medication, if you do not have health insurance coverage for prescription medications; (ii) a copay amount that you are required to pay for medications, if you do have health insurance coverage for prescription medications; and (iii) any applicable delivery and handling fee that we may charge for delivery of the medication to the address specified in your Order. After the Pharmacy determines the total Order price, we will send you an email to notify you of the Order Price. We will charge you only when you confirm the Order (using the appropriate button in the Service). For recurring Orders for medications that you take on an ongoing basis, if there is no change in the price or copay amount for the recurring Orders, we will process such Orders and charge you for the same price without sending you additional email for confirmation. If the price for a recurring Order has increased, we will send you another email to confirm the higher price or copay amount. If the price or copay amount for a recurring Order has decreased, we will charge you the lower price or copay amount without explicitly notifying you of the decrease.
If you place an Order via the Services, you agree (i) that Phil or Phil’s third party payment processing service provider may process and/or charge your credit card (and on a recurring basis for recurring medications) for verification, pre-authorization and payment purposes; (ii) to bear any additional charges that your bank or other financial service provider may levy on you as well as any fees or taxes that may apply to you, and (iii) that Phil may use your insurance information to run a test claim to determine the price of the medication and whether a Prior Authorization is needed. You’ll receive a confirmation by email once the Pharmacy has completed processing your Order. If you have any concerns or objections regarding any charges, you agree to raise them first with Phil and you agree not to cancel or reject any credit card charges unless you have made a reasonable attempt at resolving the matter directly with Phil or the Pharmacy.
By pressing the “Approve” button for the listed charges in the Service, you agree to submit the amount listed for payment on your credit card and consent to the storage of your credit card information. You certify that you are an authorized user of this credit card and that you will not dispute the payment with the credit card company so long as the transaction corresponds to the terms indicated on the payment page and in the Terms. You acknowledge that if any charges to the credit card are declined or charge backs are claimed against any outstanding amount, you will still be liable for payment pursuant to the Terms.
No Refunds
It is important that you carefully review any order or renewal for recurring prescriptions that you place. Once the medication has been shipped it cannot be returned and we offer no refund.
Cancellation of Your Prescription or Refill
You may remove a prescription from your Account or cancel a refill for a particular prescription at any time through the Services before an Order is placed for that prescription.

Links to Third Party Websites or Resources
The Services may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Linked Sites”). We provide these links only as a convenience and are not responsible for the content, products or services on or available from those websites or resources or links displayed on such sites.
You should refer to the separate terms of use, privacy policies, and other rules posted on Linked Sites before you use them. Phil does not author, edit or monitor these Linked Sites, and is not responsible or liable for: (a) the availability of or content provided on such Linked Sites, nor does inclusion of any link imply endorsement of the Linked Sites by Phil, or vice versa; (b) third-party content accessible through such Linked Sites; (c) any loss or damage whatsoever you may incur from dealing with any Linked Site; or (d) your dealings with any third parties found on or through this Site. You bear all risk associated with the use of the Linked Sites, third party services, and your correspondence or business dealings with advertisers other than us found on or through the Services.
Phil does not control, makes no guarantees about, and disclaims any express or implied representations or warranties about the accuracy, relevance, timeliness, completeness, or appropriateness for a particular purpose of the information or the resources contained on the Linked Sites or any other Internet sites. We reserve the right to terminate such links at any time. The fact that we offer such links should not be construed in any way as an endorsement, authorization, or sponsorship of that site or its content, products, or services.
Electronic Communications
When you send emails or other electronic messages to us or in connection with the Services, you are communicating with us electronically and consent to our review and analysis of such messages and to receive return communications, if any, from us electronically. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically shall have the same legal effect as if provided physically and shall satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
Mobile Security
Most communication with Phil occurs through your mobile device. Therefore your mobile device likely contains Protected Health Information (“PHI”), such as pictures of your prescriptions, medical insurance cards, and other vulnerable information. As a result, it is of utmost importance that you keep your mobile devices secure at all times. If you are using public Wi-Fi or email applications on mobile devices, you are likely using unsecure mobile networks, putting PHI at risk of interception.
The best ways to protect mobile devices from security breaches is to maintain password protection, encryption, and/or to install a remote wiping/disabling program into them. A remote wiping/disabling program allows users to quickly clear and disable a lost or stolen mobile device, which can possibly prevent or reduce the magnitude of the breach.
While Phil is HIPAA compliant and takes the utmost care in protecting your confidential information, it cannot protect information stored in your mobile device. By using Phil, you agree to hold Phil harmless of any data breaches occurring from theft/misplacement or any third-party intervention with your mobile device.
Termination

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, PHIL EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY PRESCRIPTIONS INCORRECTLY FILLED BY A PHARMACY, WHETHER AS A RESULT OF INACCURATE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY YOU OR OTHERWISE, ANY CANCELLED OR OTHERWISE UNFILLED PRESCRIPTIONS (OR ANY INJURY OR DEATH RESULTING THEREFROM), OR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY PHARMACY.
Indemnity

IN NO EVENT WILL PHIL’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY HEALTH-RELATED CONTENT, OR FROM ANY COMMUNICATIONS OR INTERACTIONS WITH ANY PHARMACIES, EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO PHIL FOR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100), IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD ANY PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS, AS APPLICABLE.

Without limiting the preceding sentence, you will also have the right to litigate any other Dispute if you provide Phil with written notice of your desire to do so by email or regular mail at hello@phil.us, (855) 977-0975, 234 Front St. 4FL, San Francisco, CA 94111, within thirty (30) days following the date you first accept these Terms (such notice, an “Arbitration Opt-out Notice”). If you don’t provide Phil with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action or, if you timely provide Phil with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, will be the state and federal courts located in the Northern District of California and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Unless you timely provide Phil with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, you acknowledge and agree that you and Phil are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Phil otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding.

Arbitration Rules
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
Arbitration Process
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org .) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure
Unless you and Phil otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and Phil submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
Arbitrator’s Decision
The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Phil will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.
Fees
Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000), Phil will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without Phil’s consent, will be null and of no effect. Phil may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
Any notices or other communications provided by Phil under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given by Phil: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted. These Terms apply only to Phil and you. These Terms are not intended to, and shall not, create any third-party beneficiary rights, except as expressly provided in these Terms.
Phil’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Phil. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
