Terms of Use
Effective Date: 29 August 2023
Human (“Human”, "we", "our" or "us") operates the website at www.human.health and the Human mobile applications (collectively the “Site”). We aim to provide a platform where each person accessing the Site (each a “User”, "you" or "your") can view or manage treatments, track symptoms, view personalised or patient insights and access existing research for various health conditions (the “Services”).
The following terms and conditions ("Terms of Use" or the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Site, and constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Human.
1. You agree to these Terms by using the Site
Your access to, and use of, the Site is subject to the following Terms of Use and all applicable laws and regulations. By accessing and using the Site, you accept, without limitation or qualification, these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to the Terms of Use, you should not use the Site.
2. We do not provide medical advice
The information on the Site is not intended to be, and must not be taken to be, the practice of medicine or other healthcare services by Human. Use of the Site does not create a provider/patient relationship with Human. Human is not recommending or endorsing any specific medical treatment for any medical condition, healthcare provider or medication. It is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment provided by your healthcare provider professional. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of information you receive via the Site.
Although we make every effort to ensure the quality of information on the Site, we cannot guarantee that information provided by us through this Site will meet your health or medical requirements. We may seek to verify the identity of healthcare providers (practitioners) when they sign up to Human, but we do not check that practitioners are licensed to practice medicine or provide healthcare services. Reliance on information provided by Human is solely at your own risk.
Human is not an alert service. As such, it should not be relied upon to alert practitioners or any other person or service when Users have any risk indicators, are unwell or are in danger.
You acknowledge and agree that Human will not be responsible for any claims, losses or damages (whether direct or indirect) arising from or relating to the misuse of, or reliance on, the information contained in the Site, except to the extent that such liability cannot be excluded by law.
3. Registering a User Account
User Account: To access and use certain features of the Site, you are required to open an account (a “User Account”) by registering with Human. When you register for a User Account, you must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information, and you agree to update the account information in order to ensure that it is current.
Legal capacity: The Site is not directed at minors. If you are under 18 years old, please do not use the Site. As a condition of being permitted to open a User Account, you represent that you are at least 18 years old or, if the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside stipulate a greater age of majority, then you are at least that age. Such jurisdictions include, without limitation, Alabama, Nebraska and Canada where the age of majority is 19, and Mississippi where the age of majority is 21. You further represent that you have the legal capacity (including, without limitation, being of sufficient age) to enter into contracts under the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside.
Credentials: When you register you are required to provide your email address and password, which will allow you to access services that are only available to account holders ("Credentials"). In providing such Credentials, you agree that you are not impersonating any person or entity. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your passwords. You are responsible for all your activities and those of any third party that occur through your User Account, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately notify Human of any suspected or actual unauthorized use of your User Account. You agree that Human will not under any circumstances be liable for any costs, loss, damages or expenses arising out of a failure by you to maintain the security of your passwords.
Dependents: If you are the legally authorized representative of another person who is not already a User (a “Dependent”), you can create a profile on your User Account for such Dependent. However, in doing so, you represent that you are indeed the legally authorized representative of such person. You represent that you have the authority to provide information to Human on behalf of such Dependent, for collection and use by Human in accordance with these Terms and the Human Privacy Policy. Similarly, if you grant any other user of the Site access to the Dependent’s information on the Site, you represent that you have the authority to do so.
4. Consent for Human to use personal information
By accepting these Terms of Use and registering on the Site, you are providing us with your consent to collect and use the personal information (including health information) provided by you in the course of you using the Services. The purpose of us collecting such information and our permitted use thereof (including without limitation any disclosure) is set out in our Privacy Policy. If you choose not to accept these Terms of Use or you do not consent to Human collecting and using such personal information (including health information), we will not be able to provide you with access to the Services, and you should not continue accessing them.
The Human Privacy Policy is incorporated and made part of these Terms of Use. By using the Services, you agree to such Privacy Policy. Any personal information (for example, your name or email address) that you input to the Site will be used by Human in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

6. Ownership
The Site and its content, including its “look and feel” (e.g. text, graphics, images, logos) proprietary content, information and other materials, are protected under intellectual property, copyright, trademark, and other laws. You agree that Human and/or our licensors own all right, title and interest in and to the Site (including, without limitation, any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, know-how and any and all other intellectual property rights in or related to the Site) and you agree not to take any action(s) inconsistent with such ownership interests.

Any attempt to do any of the foregoing is a violation of Human’s and our licensors’ rights. If you breach these restrictions, you may be subject to prosecution and damages.
Any and all (i) suggestions for correction, change and modification to the Site and other feedback (including but not limited to quotations of written or oral feedback), information and reports provided to Human by you (collectively “Feedback”), and all (ii) improvements, updates, modifications or enhancements, whether made, created or developed by Human or otherwise relating to the Site and/or Service (collectively, “Revisions”), are and will remain our property. You agree that any contribution of Feedback or Revisions does not and will not give or grant you any right, title or interest in the Site or in any such Feedback or Revisions. You agree to assign to Human any and all right, title and interest (including, but not limited to, any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, show-how, know-how, moral rights and any and all other intellectual property right) that you may have in and to any and all Feedback and Revisions.
7. Changes to the Terms or Site
Human may, at any time and without notice, modify these Terms of Use by revising them on the Site. If we make changes we post the revised Terms of Use on the Site, and note the effective date of the revised Terms. You should therefore periodically visit this page to review the current Terms of Use. Your continued use of the Site constitutes your acceptance of any such revisions. If you disagree with the changes to these Terms of Service, you should discontinue your use of the Site. You may not modify these Terms of Use except in a written agreement signed by Human.
8. Third-Party Links
In an attempt to provide increased value to our users, Human may link to sites operated by third parties. However, even if the third party is affiliated with Human, Human has no control over these linked sites, all of which may have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of Human. These linked sites are only for your convenience and therefore you access them at your own risk. Without limiting the foregoing, Human specifically disclaims any responsibility if such sites: (i) infringe any third party's intellectual property rights; (ii) are inaccurate, incomplete or misleading; (iii) are not merchantable or fit for a particular purpose; (iv) do not provide adequate security; (v) contain viruses or other items of a destructive nature; or (vi) are libelous or defamatory. Human does not endorse the content, or any products or services available, on such sites.
9. Disclaimer - Warranty
THE SITE, ITS CONTENT, MATERIALS, SERVICES AND PRODUCTS ON THE SITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, HUMAN HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
Human does not represent or warrant that the functions contained in the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free, that any defects will be corrected, or that the Site or the server that makes the Site available is free of viruses or other harmful components. Human does not make any warranties or representations regarding the use of the materials in the Site in terms of their correctness, accuracy, adequacy, usefulness, timeliness, reliability or otherwise. Some states do not permit limitations or exclusions on warranties, so the above limitations may not apply to you. No oral or written information given by a Human representative shall create a warranty.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Human, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors and suppliers from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from any violation of these Terms of Use, use or misuse of the Site or any other activity related to your account (including negligent or wrongful conduct) by you or any other person accessing the site using your User Account. We are entitled to assume control of the defence of any third party claim that is subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defences.
11. Limitations of Liability
YOUR USE OF THE SITE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. NEITHER HUMAN, NOR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS, NOR ANY OF ITS AGENTS OR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SITE OR ITS CONTENT, ARE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OF THE SITE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES. Some states do not permit limitations or exclusions on warranties, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
12. Dispute Resolution
Any controversy or claim between the parties or arising out of these Terms of Use or any use of the Site shall be determined by one disinterested arbitrator in binding arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Online Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The arbitrator shall be experienced in agreements for health technology services, either as an attorney or as an health technology professional. If the parties fail to appoint an arbitrator within forty-five (45) days of the institution of the arbitration, the AAA shall select the arbitrator promptly thereafter. Any requests for accelerated, emergency or preliminary relief shall be submitted pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection. If any such requests are made before an arbitration panel is empaneled, then the AAA shall appoint one disinterested arbitrator as an arbitration panel to immediately hear and decide such request. The arbitration panel shall have the right to grant interim awards. Testimony shall be permitted by telephone, video conference and other forms of real-time telecommunications.
If the arbitrator requires in-person hearings, the hearings shall be held in New York, New York. The arbitral award will be final and binding, and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that a breach of these Terms of Use by you will cause irreparable injury to Human for which monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy and that Human will be entitled to seek equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedies available to us under these Terms of Use, or at law without a bond, other security or proof of damages.
13. Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Actions
BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU AND HUMAN ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO WAIVE CERTAIN RIGHTS TO LITIGATE DISPUTES IN COURT, TO RECEIVE A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLAIM ON A CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. YOU AND HUMAN BOTH AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT A CONSOLIDATED, CLASS-WIDE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS AND THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO PROCEED WITH AN ARBITRATION ON A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD 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. IF FOR ANY REASON THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS OF USE IS DEEMED INAPPLICABLE OR INVALID, OR TO THE EXTENT THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE ALLOWS FOR LITIGATION OF DISPUTES IN COURT, YOU AND HUMAN BOTH WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLAIM ON A CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
14. Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms of Use and your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its choice of law provisions. Subject to sections 12 and 13 above, courts of general jurisdiction located within New York, New York, will have exclusive jurisdiction over any and all disputes arising out of, relating to or concerning these Terms of Use and/or the Site or in which these Terms of Use and/or the Site are a material fact.
15. Notice and Electronic Communications

We will communicate with you by email or by posting notices on the Site. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
16. Assignment
You may not delegate your duties under these Terms of Use, or assign these Terms of Use or your User Account, in whole or in part, without Human’s written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms of Use, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms of Use will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. Human may assign any of its rights and obligations under these Terms of Use without consent including, in connection with any merger (including by operation of law), consolidation, reorganisation, or sale of all or substantially all of its related assets or similar transaction. These Terms of Use shall be binding on the parties' permitted assignees, transferees and successors.

18. Survival
Sections 9 to 14 (inclusive), 18 and 19 of these Terms of Use will survive the termination of this Agreement.
19. General Provisions
These Terms of Use, along with the Human Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and Human with respect to use of the Site, superseding all prior or contemporaneous communications with Human. These Terms of Use are severable, and in the event any provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions. A printed version of these Terms of Use shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to use of the Site to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. The section titles of this Agreement are displayed for convenience only and have no legal effect. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefit. The failure of Human to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
