1. OUR SERVICES; RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS
a. Description of General Services. Our Services on the Site and App enable you to type in a particular medical issue and receive a list of medical care facilities ("Facilities") in your geographic area that may provide the type of health care that you are seeking, including a display of the aggregate healthcare costs at such providing Facilities based on insurance and health plan for that type of care. We also provide user ratings and reviews for Facilities and encourage users to provide us with their own ratings and comments on their experiences for the Facilities they use.
b. Bill Defender Service Terms. In addition to the Services described above, Copay now offers Bill Defender, an optional, fee-based additional Service that is available to subscribers to the primary Copay Services described in Section 1(a). Bill Defender allows you to submit your line-item medical bills to this Service for analysis by Bill Defender and obtain detailed feedback on your bills, including identifying medical procedures and services for which you may have been overcharged, identifying pricing errors, and flagging potential inaccuracies, such as procedures that were not performed.
In addition to the other provisions of these Terms, you agree to the following additional terms if you subscribe to or use Bill Defender:
· You confirm that you are voluntarily providing your medical bill information to Copay. You may redact information prior to submission except for those billing details required by Copay to perform its medical bill analysis, which include the date, description, location, and cost of each medical procedure.
· You agree that Copay is authorized to use such information and data solely in order to provide the Bill Defender Service to you and for purposes of improving its Services generally, including analyzing billing patterns, testing algorithms, improving review accuracy, and internal quality assurance. Copay may aggregate and/or de-identify the information contained in your medical bills submitted to this Service and use it for its other products and services, such as, for example, including the pricing and diagnosis information obtained through Bill Defender for our other products in a de-identified form. However, Copay will not sell or share your original, identifiable data and will not use it for marketing without your separate written consent.
· Copay is not a business associate under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and is not a medical or healthcare services provider subject to HIPAA. Because of this, HIPAA privacy rules do not apply to the health information or other data that you provide directly to Copay. However, Copay has voluntarily adopted HIPAA-inspired security practices, including secure storage, restricted internal access, and encryption for electronic transmission where feasible. This voluntary commitment does not create liability under HIPAA, but reflects Copay's privacy standards.
· Copay will also use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal and medical information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, once your data is aggregated or de-identified, it may be used without restriction. You understand that no digital system can guarantee absolute security and accept the risks of electronic transmission and storage.
c. Your Rights and Licenses to Access and Use the Services. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, including the restrictions below, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right and (where applicable) license to:
· access and use the App and Site and the Services provided therein for their proper, intended purposes;
· use the User Contributions (as defined in Section 2 below) provided via the Services for your personal, non-commercial use;
· add your own User Contributions to the Services; and

d. AI Use. You agree that Copay may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to process your data for purposes of providing Services to you and improving and training its Services and software, including Copay's internal AI tools. Your data may also be provided to a third-party AI service provider of Copay solely in order to provide Services to you. Copay commits not to permit any third-party AI service provider to store your data (other than temporarily as needed for the particular Service being provided to you) or to use your data for training its AI. Copay also commits not to use AI in any manner that would violate state or federal law, including discriminating against a protected class.
e. User Registration. You may be required to register to use the Services. You agree to keep your password confidential and will be responsible for all use of your account and password.

If you have a dispute with Copay, you must first send written notice to Copay at our address specified at the end of these Terms, Attn: Legal Department/Arbitration, to give Copay the opportunity to resolve the dispute with you informally through negotiation. You agree to negotiate resolution of the dispute in good faith for no less than 60 days after you provide notice of the dispute. If Copay does not resolve your dispute within that 60 day period, you or Copay may pursue your claim in arbitration pursuant to the terms in this Section.
d. Class Action Waiver. You and Copay agree that arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class or representative action or as a named or unnamed member in a class, consolidated, representative or private attorney general action, unless both you and Copay specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of the arbitration.
e. Initiation of Arbitration. The party initiating the arbitration proceeding shall initiate it with the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), www.adr.org. The terms of this Section govern in the event they conflict with the rules of the AAA. In no event shall any dispute brought by either party related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.
f. Location of Arbitration. All arbitration proceedings shall be initiated in and held in Bergen, New Jersey. In a dispute involving $25,000 or less, any hearing may be telephonic or by videoconference if permitted by the arbitrator.
g. Arbitration Procedures. The AAA will conduct any arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (or if you are an individual and use the Software for personal or household use, or if the value of the dispute is less than $75,000, its Consumer Arbitration Rules). For more information, see www.adr.org or call 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court could. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually to satisfy your individual claim, but not relief that would affect non-parties. If your claims do not exceed $75,000 and you provided notice to and negotiated in good faith with Copay as described above, and the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The award will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
h. Exceptions to Arbitration. The Parties agree that the following disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a party; (b) any dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief.
i. Severability. If any clause within this Section 16 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed and the remainder of this Section will be given full force and effect.
