All of the following terms are a single legal agreement between you and Sugarmate. If a word or phrase is framed in this Agreement by “Quotation Marks” and marked in bold text, it means that the word or phrase may be used again, and it will have the same meaning as set forth in the sentence containing the word or phrase in quotation marks and bold text.

1. Scope of this Agreement; Not Medical or Healthcare Services.

1.1. Sugarmate Products are not medical or healthcare services.

You understand that Sugarmate is not a healthcare professional and does not provide medical, health or other professional services or advice, nor do we verify the accuracy of User Data (as such term is defined in Section 4.2 below). Sugarmate Products are not replacements for proper medical care, and you agree that the User, as applicable, is solely responsible for obtaining proper treatment for his or her conditions. You may provide the information and reports received from Sugarmate Products to the User’s healthcare providers at your own responsibility, understanding that the Sugarmate Products are provided without warranty except as required by law or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

The Sugarmate Products do not provide any medical advice or treatment by Sugarmate. Always consult a physician or other qualified health care provider for personal medical attention and advice, if you have any questions about a medical condition or before taking any drug, changing your diet or commencing or discontinuing any course of treatment. Do not use the Sugarmate Products as a substitute for consulting with your physician or other healthcare provider, and do not ignore or delay obtaining professional medical advice because of information or content accessed through Sugarmate Products. If you think you have a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.

The Sugarmate Products are not intended to be and do not constitute a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment and are offered for informational purposes only. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions regarding your medical condition or the use (or frequency) of any medication or medical device. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of any information received in connection with the Sugarmate Products.

To the extent you receive medical care in conjunction with or consequent to any Sugarmate Product, your treating medical professional is responsible for obtaining your informed consent to any medical diagnosis or treatment, including without limitation, your consent to use telemedicine in the course of your treatment to the extent such consent is required by applicable law. This diagnosis or treatment is separate from and unrelated to any Sugarmate Product. Sugarmate does not represent or warrant that any Sugarmate Products or any particular drug or treatment is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Sugarmate is not responsible or liable for any advice, course of treatment or diagnosis that you may obtain in connection with or as a result of using any Sugarmate Products.

Each Sugarmate Product is for non-emergency purposes only. Do not attempt to access emergency care through the Website, the Sugarmate Apps, or any other Sugarmate Product. If at any time you are concerned about your care or treatment, or if you think you have a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest open emergency room. None of the Sugarmate Products are intended to support or carry emergency or time-critical calls or communications to any type of hospital, law enforcement agency, medical care unit, or any other kind of emergency or time-critical service.

1.2. Additional Sugarmate Product Terms.

In addition to the terms set forth in this Agreement, any other terms and conditions that we post or make available through any Sugarmate Product, or otherwise make available to you, apply to your use of all Sugarmate Products and are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

Our Website is accessible through the internet by any smart phone or other smart device (we refer to each as a “Smart Device”) or computer, in each case with a compatible browser. You are responsible for each computer or Smart Device you use to access our Website, including providing and maintaining properly running compatible updated software, a suitable internet connection, and an appropriate firewall and virus scanning software.

4. Using Our Data Services and Sugarmate Apps

4.1. Our Sugarmate Apps.

We may provide Sugarmate Apps for your use on your computer or Smart Devices in connection with your use of Sugarmate Products. Sugarmate Apps may provide stand-alone functionality, may be used in connection with our Data Services, or both. You are responsible for each computer or Smart Device you use to access the Sugarmate Apps, including providing and maintaining properly running compatible updated software, a suitable internet connection, and an appropriate firewall and virus scanning software.

4.2. Our Data Services.

Our Data Services are intended to allow a User to use the data generated, received or displayed in connection with use of the Sugarmate Apps and/or third-party integration (“User Data”) to help the User manage their diabetes. Use of our Data Services requires an internet-enabled Smart Device or computer. Each Data Service receives User Data from a Sugarmate App or third-party integration that is downloaded to your Smart Device or computer. Our Data Services process User Data applying proprietary methodologies, provide data, and where applicable, provide reports, to Users. Our Data Services may also permit Users to share User Data, reports and other information relating to the User. Users are entitled to provide, or direct the Data Service to provide, such data and reports to others as they determine at their own risk and responsibility.

4.3. Using our Data Services and Sugarmate Apps.

Each Data Service or Sugarmate App may require the creation of a Sugarmate user account on our Website or within the Sugarmate App (“User Account”). If so, you are required to accurately complete and maintain the User Account and to provide us with all required information. You are responsible for obtaining, maintaining and paying for all hardware, software, telecommunications and other services necessary for the use of the Data Services and/or the Sugarmate Apps and/or third-party integrations including, but not limited to, properly running compatible updated software, a suitable internet connection, and an appropriate firewall and virus scanning software.

4.4. Our Data Services.

Our Data Services may directly interface and interoperate with your Sugarmate App and/or third-party integrations. Certain Data Services may allow you to send your User Data to certain third parties selected by you. By selecting the third party (which may be a person, a Sugarmate App, or another business), you are authorizing us to send your User Data to each party you select. Sugarmate does not verify or validate any information regarding such third parties or the information you have provided regarding them. Once your information has been provided to a third party designated by you, Sugarmate has no further control or responsibility regarding that information. Our collection, storage and transmission of data in connection with Data Services is governed by the Sugarmate Privacy Policy. You are responsible for connecting your computer or Smart Device running the Sugarmate Product to the internet.

If the Website contains links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your convenience only. We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources, and we accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them. If you decide to access any of the third-party websites linked to this Website, you do so entirely at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of use for such websites.

4.5. Third Party Software Updates.

Our Sugarmate Apps run on specific versions of third-party operating systems and browser software for your computer or Smart Device (“Platform Software”). When the third-party provider issues an update to Platform Software, we will require additional time to provide a compatible update to the Sugarmate App. If you update Platform Software prior to our making available an appropriate update to a Sugarmate App, you may no longer be able to use the Sugarmate App you have been using, or the Sugarmate App may not properly function. We may determine not to provide a compatible update to the Sugarmate App, and therefore before you update Platform Software, you should first check the applicable location where you originally downloaded the Sugarmate App to determine if an update to the Sugarmate App or Data Service is needed.

4.6. Consistent Use.

Certain Sugarmate Products may archive and store the data generated by the Sugarmate App and/or third-party integrations (which archival and storage is governed by the Sugarmate Privacy Policy). As a result, such Sugarmate Products must be used only with the associated User Account. Failure to do so may (1) cause the applicable Sugarmate Product to perform improperly, or not to perform at all, (2) corrupt the User Data, or (3) cause inaccurate User Data to be associated with the User or cause the User Data to be inaccurately displayed or analyzed.

YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND THAT YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) UNDER ITS CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES, AS AMENDED BY THIS AGREEMENT. THE ARBITRATOR WILL CONDUCT HEARINGS, IF ANY, BY TELECONFERENCE OR VIDEOCONFERENCE, RATHER THAN BY PERSONAL APPEARANCES, UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR DETERMINES UPON REQUEST BY YOU OR BY US THAT AN IN-PERSON HEARING IS APPROPRIATE. ANY IN-PERSON APPEARANCES WILL BE HELD AT A LOCATION WHICH IS REASONABLY CONVENIENT TO BOTH PARTIES WITH DUE CONSIDERATION OF THEIR ABILITY TO TRAVEL AND OTHER PERTINENT CIRCUMSTANCES. IF THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO AGREE ON A LOCATION, SUCH DETERMINATION SHOULD BE MADE BY THE AAA OR BY THE ARBITRATOR. THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL FOLLOW THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. THE ARBITRATOR WILL HAVE AUTHORITY TO AWARD TEMPORARY, INTERIM OR PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF OR RELIEF PROVIDING FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THE INDIVIDUAL CLAIM BEFORE THE ARBITRATOR. THE AWARD RENDERED BY THE ARBITRATOR MAY BE CONFIRMED AND ENFORCED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL PRECLUDE YOU FROM BRINGING ISSUES TO THE ATTENTION OF FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL AGENCIES AND, IF THE LAW ALLOWS, THEY CAN SEEK RELIEF AGAINST US FOR YOU.

Some jurisdictions outside the United States may not allow for arbitration of certain Disputes in certain circumstances. To the extent that you are a resident of such jurisdiction, and this arbitration provision is found to be unenforceable by a court within such jurisdiction in connection with a Dispute between you and Sugarmate, such Dispute will instead, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be resolved exclusively in the federal and state courts located in San Diego, California, and you and Sugarmate each waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.

6.2. Governing Law

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the terms of this Agreement are governed by the laws of the State of California, U.S.A., without regard to its principles of conflicts of law and regardless of your location.

In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, the disputing party must provide the other party with written notice of the dispute, including the facts giving rise to the dispute and the relief sought by the disputing party. We will provide such notice by email to your email address. You will provide such notice to Sugarmate by mail or overnight delivery at the following address: Sugarmate, LLC, 12400 High Bluff Dr, San Diego, CA 92130.

6.4. Equitable Relief.

Any violation of a party’s intellectual or industrial property rights will cause the non-violating party irreparable harm for which monetary damages are an inadequate remedy, and the non-violating party is entitled to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance without the posting of bond or other security, or if required, the minimum bond or security required.

14. Your Use of “App Stores”

The following terms apply to any Program Element accessed through or downloaded from any “App Store” or distribution platform (such as the Apple App Store or Google Play) where the Program Element may now or in the future be made available (each an “App Provider”). You acknowledge and agree that:

· These terms are concluded between you and Sugarmate, and not with the App Provider, and Sugarmate (not the App Provider), is solely responsible for the Program Element.

· The App Provider has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to any Program Element.

· In the event of any failure of a Program Element to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify the App Provider, and the App Provider will refund the purchase price for the Program Element to you if applicable and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App Provider will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Program Element. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Sugarmate.

· The App Provider is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third-party relating to the Program Element or your possession and use of the Program Element, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Program Element fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

· In the event of any third-party claim that the Program Element or your possession and use of that Element infringes on that third party’s intellectual property rights, Sugarmate will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by this Agreement.

· The App Provider, and its subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement as related to your license to the Program Element, and that, upon your acceptance of the Terms, the App Provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement as related to your license of the Program Element against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our right to enter into, rescind or terminate any variation, waiver or settlement under this Agreement is not subject to the consent of any third party.

· You must also comply with all applicable third-party terms of service when using the Program Element.

15. Relationship; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

Our relationship with you is as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement creates an agency or partnership. Except for Sugarmate’s Licensors, there are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

16. Complete Agreement.

This Agreement, including the Privacy Policy and the applicable Program EULA, constitute the complete and final agreement between the parties relating to the Sugarmate Products, Data Services and Sugarmate Apps; supersedes any prior agreements or communications between the parties; and may only be modified as described in this Agreement (see Section 2.1). Failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. This Agreement has been drafted in English at the express request of the parties.

17. Copyright Infringement Claims.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials available on the Data Services infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send to Sugarmate a written notice by mail or by e-mail requesting that Sugarmate remove such material or block access to it. If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly submitted to us a notice of copyright infringement involving content that you made available through any Data Service, the DMCA permits you to send to Sugarmate a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. Notices and counter-notices must be sent in writing to Sugarmate’s DMCA agent as follows: By mail to Sugarmate LLC, 12400 High Bluff Dr, San Diego, CA, 92130, or by e-mail to support[at]sugarmate.io.

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Sugarmate has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, Data Service users who are deemed by Sugarmate to be repeat infringers. Sugarmate may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Data Service and/or terminate the accounts of any Data Service users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not such users are deemed to be repeat infringers.

18. Licenses.

Sugarmate grants you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, and nonexclusive license to access and make personal use of the Website and the Program in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable indications, instructions for use and end user license agreement (“Program EULA”) of the Program, but not to download (other than page caching) or modify them, or any portion of them, except with express written consent of Sugarmate. This license does NOT include any resale or commercial use of the Website, the Program or its Program Elements; any collection and use of any product listings, descriptions; any derivative use of the Website, the Program or its Program Elements; any downloading or copying of account information for the benefit of another merchant; or any use of data mining, robots, spiders or similar data gathering and extraction tools.

You may not use meta tags or any other hidden text using Sugarmate’s name or trademarks without the express written consent of Sugarmate. Any unauthorized use will immediately terminate the permission or license granted by Sugarmate.

You are also granted a limited, revocable, non-transferable, and nonexclusive right to create a hyperlink to the home page of Sugarmate so long as the link does not portray Sugarmate or its products or services in a false, misleading, derogatory, or otherwise offensive manner as determined by Sugarmate in its sole discretion. You may not use any Sugarmate logo or other proprietary graphic or trademark as part of the link without express written permission of Sugarmate. You may not make any other part of the Website, other than the home page of the Website, available as part of another service by “deep linking,” or otherwise, without prior written permission from Sugarmate.
