Terms & Conditions

These terms and conditions of use (“Terms of Use”) govern your use of our online websites owned and controlled by For Skin Inc, including the https://www.itsforskin.com website (the “Site”), as well as the services (“Services”) and products (“Products”) available to users through the Site. For Skin Inc. (“For Skin”, “we,” “us,” and “our”), incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, engages in business regarding online telehealth medical consultations and secure messaging between physicians employed by For Skin and their patients. The professional medical services, including the non-clinical Site services (which are provided by For Skin) are collectively referred to in this Terms of Use as the “Services”. The terms “you” and “your” means you, your dependent(s) if any, and any other person accessing your For Skin account. By using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use, the Consent to Telehealth, and the Privacy Policy that appear on the Site. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms of Use, you may not use Site.

1. Website Content

Other than the personalized content we send you in a message within or through the Site or the personalized advice we give you during a video visit, you should not consider Content on the Site to be medical advice.

2.  User Accounts

When you register on the Site, you need to create an account ("Account") by entering your name, email address, password, telephone number, physical address, and certain other information we need to know in order to provide the Service. You may not transfer or share your Account password with anyone, or create more than one Account. If you create more than one Account this substantially limits our ability to provide appropriate care because we have no way of linking your various accounts and no way of knowing that previous accounts you set up relate to you. If you create more than one Account this increases the chances that you will experience serious adverse events from any medicines we prescribe. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account password and for all activities that occur under your Account. You are responsible for changing your password promptly if you think it has been compromised. To change your password go into ‘Account’ within the Site. We reserve the right to take any and all action, as it deems necessary or reasonable, regarding the security of your Account. You may not use anyone else’s account at any time.

3. Right to Modify

Continued use of the Site following notice of any such changes will indicate your acknowledgment of such changes and agreement to be bound by the revised Terms of Use, inclusive of such changes. We will provide notice to you at the earliest time we are able to notify users of the implementation of changes, modifications, deletions, edits, and/or updates to these Terms.

6. Services Provided - Medical Care/Advice from For Skin

We offer an online telehealth communication platform for Providers and their patients to connect via the Site through the use of synchronous and asynchronous telecommunications technologies. The Site facilitates communication between patients and our Providers regarding consultations and treatment options for men’s health, women’s health, sexual health, skin conditions; chronic health conditions; and healthy wellbeing. 

For Skin doctors provide medical advice and/or care through diagnoses and prescription services. For Skin contracts with United States based Providers who provide clinical telehealth services. These Providers deliver clinical services via the For Skin platform to their patients. Providers are subject to For Skin’s background checks and credentialing processes before they are able to consult on the For Skin platform.

For Skin and the Providers are responsible for the quality and appropriateness of the care they render to you. The Providers are employed by For Skin and are using the Site as a way to communicate with you only. Your interactions with the Providers via the Site are not intended to take the place of your relationship with your regular health care practitioners or primary care physician. For Skin does not recommend or endorse any specific Providers, tests, physicians, medications, products, or procedures. You acknowledge that your reliance on any Providers or information delivered by the Providers via the Site or Service is solely at your own risk and you assume full responsibility for all risks associated herewith.

You should always seek the advice of qualified health care professionals with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your individual needs and any medical conditions.

**IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A HEALTH-RELATED EMERGENCY, CONTACT 911 OR GO TO THE NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIATELY.**

7. Risks of Telehealth Services

By using the Services, you acknowledge the potential risks associated with telehealth services. These include but are not limited to the following: information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g. poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate medical or health care decision making by the Provider; delays in evaluation or treatment could occur due to failures of electronic equipment; a lack of access to your medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors; although the electronic systems we use incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information, those protocols could fail causing a breach of privacy of your health information. You are asked to review the Telehealth Consent Form included with these Terms as Exhibit A.

8. Prescription Services

Neither For Skin nor its contracted doctors endorse any specific medication, pharmacy, or pharmacologic product. If a Provider prescribes a medication, he/she will limit supply based upon state regulations and will only prescribe a medication as determined in his/her own discretion and professional judgment. There is no guarantee a prescription will be written. 

Providers do not prescribe DEA controlled substances or scheduled medications, or certain other drugs which may be harmful because of their potential for abuse. Providers reserve the right to deny care for actual or potential misuse of the Services. You agree that any prescriptions that you acquire from a Provider will be solely for your personal use. 

You agree to fully and carefully read all provided product information and labels and to contact a physician or pharmacist if you have any questions regarding the prescription. For Skin and our partner pharmacy fully honor patient freedom of choice and, if you receive a prescription for a medication, you always have the option to instruct your Provider to transmit that prescription to the pharmacy of your choice.

20. Allegations of Copyright Infringement

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 appearing on the App or Website infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. In addition, if you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA.
Review the U.S. Copyright Office Web site, http://www.loc.gov/copyright. Any written Notification of Claimed infringement should comply with Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c)(3)(A) and should be provided in writing to For Skin.

21. Intellectual Property

With the exception of your electronic medical record, For Skin retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Site, the Services and any information, products, documentation, software, or other materials on the Site, and any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, service mark, or other intellectual property, or proprietary right in any of the foregoing, except for information on the Site licensed by For Skin (in that case, the license provider retains all right, title, and interest therein). The information available through the Site and the Services is the property of For Skin, as applicable. You agree not to store, copy, modify, reproduce, retransmit, distribute, disseminate, rent, lease, loan, sell, publish, broadcast, display, or circulate such information to anyone. Use, reproduction, copying, or redistribution of For Skin trademarks, service marks, and logos are strictly prohibited without the prior written permission of For Skin, as applicable. The immediately foregoing sentence also applies to any third-party trademarks, service marks, and logos posted on the Site. Nothing contained on the Site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, waiver, or otherwise, any license or right to use any trademarks, service marks, or logos displayed on the Site without the written grant thereof by For Skin or the third party owner of such trademarks, service marks, and/or logos. The Site may contain other proprietary notices and copyright information, the terms of which you agree to follow.

22. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate the Terms of Use or any part thereof without For Skin’s prior written consent. For Skin may freely transfer, assign, or delegate all or any part of the Terms of Use, and any rights or duties hereunder or thereunder. The Terms of Use will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, and permitted assignees of the parties.

23. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

We endeavor to work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with the Site, including Products and Services ordered or purchased through the Site, if you bring that issue to the attention of our customer service department. However, we realize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to a customer's satisfaction.

You and For Skin agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use or your use of the Site, including Products and Services ordered or purchased through the Site, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than bringing a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in court, however, we agree to cooperate with each other to agree to reasonable discovery in light of the issues involved and the amount of the claim. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, but in so doing, the arbitrator shall apply substantive law regarding damages as if the matter had been brought in court, including without limitation, the law on punitive damages as applied by the United States Supreme Court. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and For Skin are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and any other contractual relationship between you and For Skin.

YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and For Skin agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

24. Governing Law; Venue

The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern these Terms. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts located in and for Sussex County, Delaware.

25. Force Majeure

We will not be deemed to be in breach of these terms or liable for any breach of these terms or our privacy policy due to any event or occurrence beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, terrorism, war, invasion, failures of any public networks, electrical shortages, earthquakes or floods, civil disorder, strikes, fire or other disasters.

26. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless For Skin and any affiliates from and against any and all rights, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, claims, causes of action, actions, and suits (no matter whether at law or equity), fees, costs, and attorney’s fees of any kind whatsoever arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with: (i) your use or misuse of the Site, Products or Services or any information posted on the Site; (ii) your breach of the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy; (iii) the content or subject matter of any information you provide to For Skin or any Provider or customer service agent; and/or (iv) any negligent or wrongful act or omission by you in your use or misuse of the Site, Products or Services or any information on the Site, including without limitation, infringement of third party intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or negligent or wrongful conduct.

27. Stark Law and Anti-Kickback

It is the intent of the parties that terms and conditions of this agreement comply with certain federal and state laws, rules, and regulations concerning the delivery of health care services, including, without limitation, the Stark Law, the Fraud and Abuse Law, and the general proscription on false claims in Medicare and Medicaid codified at 42 U.S.C.A. SS1320a-7(a). Accordingly, the parties agree that the amount of fees set in accordance with this agreement shall not be modified except on each anniversary of the Commencement Date as provided in Paragraph 1; and shall not be premised on the volume or value of any patient. 
Nothing contained herein shall be interpreted as requiring For Skin to refer or admit any patients to any hospital or medical facility owned or operated by Advisors or its affiliates, or to obtain medical goods or services from Advisors or its affiliates. In the event there is a change in the applicable federal or state statutes, rules, regulations, principles or interpretations that reasonably may render any of the material terms of this Lease unlawful or unenforceable, including any services rendered or compensation to be paid hereunder, or if the continuation of this agreement may reasonably render any other relationship(s) amongst the parties hereto illegal, either party shall have the immediate right to initiate the renegotiation of the affected Term or Terms of this agreement, upon notice to the other party, to remedy such condition. 
The parties shall thereafter negotiate using their best efforts to restructure this agreement so as to make the same lawful, and to the extent possible, to maintain the economic benefits to each party as contemplated hereunder. Should the parties be unable to renegotiate the Term or Terms so affected so as to bring it/them into compliance with the statute, rule, regulation, principle, or interpretation that rendered it/them unlawful or unenforceable within fifteen (15) days of the date on which notice of a desired renegotiation is given, then such disputes shall give rise to the parties' rights to arbitration.

28.  HIPPA Compliance

For Skin complies with the applicable provisions of the Administrative Simplification section of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, codified at 42 U.S.C. §§ 1320d through 1320d-9 (“HIPAA”), and the requirements of any regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, federal security standards as contained in 45 C.F.R. Parts 160, 162 and 164 (collectively, the “HIPAA Regulations”). For Skin may only disclose Protected Health Information about a patient for treatment purposes to other health care providers involved in the patient's treatment or to Hospital’s workforce members involved in the patient’s care regimen. For Skin shall not request, use or further disclose any Protected Health Information other than for the Services specified in these Terms.  For Skin will implement appropriate safeguards to prevent the request for, use, or disclosure of Protected Health Information other than as permitted by these Terms. For Skin will make its internal practices, books, and records relating to the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information available to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to the extent required for determining federal compliance with HIPAA and associated regulations.

29. Security Breach Notification

In the event of any actual, probable, or reasonably suspected breach of security of any facilities, or any unauthorized access to or acquisition, use, loss, destruction, compromise, alteration, or disclosure of any information maintained in any Facilities (each, a “Security Breach”) that may concern patient confidential information, For Skin shall: (i) notify patient immediately of such breach, and otherwise take no less than its best efforts to notify patient within twenty four (24) hours after such Security Breach occurs; (ii) notify patient to follow all reasonable instructions provided by For Skin relating to the Confidential Information affected or potentially affected by the Security Breach; (iii) make all reasonable good faith efforts and accommodations to assist in the investigation of Security Breach; (iv) take such actions as necessary to prevent future Security Breaches; and (v) unless prohibited by an applicable statute or court order notifying patient of any third party legal process relating to any Security Breach, including, but not limited to, any legal process initiated by U.S. government authorities.

EXHIBIT A
INFORMED CONSENT FOR TELEHEALTH SERVICES
Telehealth involves the use of electronic communications to enable healthcare providers at different locations to share individual patient medical information for the purpose of improving patient care. Telehealth services offered by For Skin may also include chart review, remote prescribing, appointment scheduling, health information sharing, and non-clinical services, such as patient education. The information you provide may be used for diagnosis, therapy, follow-up and/or patient education, and may include any combination of the following: (1) health records and test results; (2) images and asynchronous communications; (3) live two-way audio and video; (4) interactive audio with store and forward; and (5) output data from medical devices and sound and video files.


The electronic communication systems we use will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of patient identification and imaging data and will include measures to safeguard the data and to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption.


For Skin Services are an addition to, and not a replacement for, your primary care physician. Responsibility for your overall medical care should remain with your local primary care doctor if you have one, and we strongly encourage you to locate one if you do not.


Expected Benefits:

  • Improved access to care by enabling you to remain in your home while the For Skin provider consults and obtains test results at distant/other sites.

  • More efficient care evaluation and management.

  • Obtaining the expertise of a specialist as appropriate.

Possible Risks:

  • Delays in evaluation and treatment could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment and technologies.

  • In rare events, our provider may determine that the transmitted information is of inadequate quality, thus necessitating a rescheduled telehealth consult or a meeting with your local primary care doctor.

  • In very rare events, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information.

  • In rare events, a lack of access to complete medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors.

If you need to receive follow-up care, assistance in the event of an adverse reaction to the treatment, or in the event of an inability to communicate as a result of a technological or equipment failure, please contact For Skin at kelly@brilliantlayer.com.
By checking the box associated with "Informed Consent", you acknowledge that you understand and agree with the following:

  1. I hereby consent to receiving For Skin’s services via telehealth technologies.I understand that For Skin and its providers offer telehealth-based medical services, but that these services do not replace the relationship between me and my primary care doctor. I also understand it is up to For Skin provider to determine whether or not my specific clinical needs are appropriate for a telehealth encounter.

  2. I have been given an opportunity to select a provider from For Skin prior to the consult, including a review of the provider’s credentials.

  3. I understand that federal and state law requires health care providers to protect the privacy and the security of health information. I understand that For Skin will take steps to make sure that my health information is not seen by anyone who should not see it. I understand that telehealth may involve electronic communication of my personal medical information to other health practitioners who may be located in other areas, including out of state.

  4. I understand there is a risk of technical failures during the telehealth encounter beyond the control of For Skin. I agree to hold harmless For Skin for delays in evaluation or for information lost due to such technical failures.

  5. I understand that I have the right to withhold or withdraw my consent to the use of telehealth in the course of my care at any time, without affecting my right to future care or treatment. I understand that I may suspend or terminate the use of the telehealth services at any time for any reason or for no reason. I understand that if I am experiencing a medical emergency, that I will be directed to dial 9 - 1 - 1 immediately and that For Skin providers are not able to connect me directly to any local emergency services.

  6. I understand that alternatives to telehealth consultation, such as in-person services are available to me, and in choosing to participate in a telehealth consultation, I understand that some parts of the services involving tests may be conducted by individuals at my location, or at a testing facility, at the direction of the For Skin provider(e.g.labs or bloodwork).

  7. I understand that I may expect the anticipated benefits from the use of telehealth in my care, but that no results can be guaranteed or assured.

  8. I understand that my healthcare information may be shared with other individuals for scheduling and billing purposes. Persons may be present during the consultation other than the For Skin provider in order to operate the telehealth technologies.I further understand that I will be informed of their presence in the consultation and thus will have the right to request the following: (1) omit specific details of my medical history/examination that are personally sensitive to me; (2) ask non - medical personnel to leave the telehealth examination; and/or (3) terminate the consultation at any time.

  9. I understand that I will not be prescribed any narcotics for pain, nor is there any guarantee that I will be given a prescription at all.

  10. I understand that if I participate in a consultation, that I have the right to request a copy of my medical records which will be provided to me at a reasonable cost of preparation, shipping, and delivery.

Additional State-Specific Consents: The following consents apply to users accessing the For Skin website for the purposes of participating in a telehealth consultation as required by the states listed below:

  • Alaska: I understand my primary care provider may obtain a copy of my records of my telehealth encounter. (AK Stat. 08.64.364).

  • Arizona: I understand I am entitled to all existing confidentiality protections pursuant to A.R.S.§ 12 - 2292. I also understand all medical reports resulting from the telemedicine consultation are part of my medical record as defined in A.R.S.§ 12 - 2291. I also understand the dissemination of any images or information identifiable to me for research or educational purposes shall not occur without my consent unless authorized by state or federal law. (A.R.S.§ 36 - 3602).

  • Connecticut: I understand that my primary care provider may obtain a copy of my records of my telehealth encounter. (C.G.S.A.§ 19a - 906).

  • D.C.: I have been informed of alternate forms of communication between me and a physician for urgent matters. (17 DCMR § 4618.10).

  • Kentucky: If I am a Medicaid recipient, I recognize I have the option to refuse the telehealth consultation at any time without affecting the right to future care or treatment and without risking the loss or withdrawal of a Medicaid benefit to which I am entitled.I understand that I have the right to be informed of any party who will be present at the site during the telehealth consult and I have the right to exclude anyone from being present.I also understand that I have the right to object to the videotaping of the telehealth consultation.

The knowledge, experiences, and qualifications of the consultant providing data and information to the provider of the telehealth services need not be completely known to and understood by the provider. The quality of transmitted data may affect the quality of services provided by the provider. Changes in the environment and test conditions could be impossible to make during the delivery of telehealth services. Telehealth services may not be provided by correspondence only. (Code of MD Reg. 10.41.06.04).

  • Nebraska: If I am a Medicaid recipient, I retain the option to refuse the telehealth consultation at any time without affecting my right to future care or treatment and without risking the loss or withdrawal of any program benefits to which the patient would otherwise be entitled.
