Acceptance of the Terms of Use

These terms of use are entered into by and between you and MedLink Global, Inc. (“MedLink,” “we,” or “us”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively “Terms of Use”) govern your access to and use of the MedLink website (https://www.medlink.global) (the “Website”) and any other websites or online service that MedLink operates and that links to these terms (collectively, the “Services”).
 

Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Website. By using the Website or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, found at (https://www.medlink.global/privacy-policy), incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Website. 

 

Important Information about Your Use of the Services

DO NOT USE THE SERVICES FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL NEEDS. IF YOU EXPERIENCE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY.
 

MedLink does not provide any phycologists’, psychiatrists’, physicians’ or other healthcare providers’ (collectively, "Providers") services itself. All of the Providers are independent of MedLink and merely use the Services to communicate with you. Any information or advice received from a Provider comes from the Provider, and not from MedLink. Your interactions with the Providers via the Services are not intended to take the place of your relationship(s) with your regular health care practitioner(s). Neither MedLink, nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any third party who may promote the Service or provide a link to the Service, shall be liable for any professional advice obtained from a health care provider via the Service or for any other information obtained on the website. MedLink does not endorse any specific tests, physicians, medications, products or procedures that are recommended by providers that may use MedLink to communicate with you. You acknowledge that your reliance on any healthcare providers or information provided by the providers via the Service is solely at your own risk and you assume full responsibility for all risk associated herewith.

MedLink does not make any representations or warranties about the training or skill of any Providers who provide services via the Service. You will be provided with a list of available Providers located in the U. S. based solely on the information you provide to MedLink. You are ultimately responsible for choosing your particular Provider.

If you choose, or are provided with, a username, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to this Website or portions of it using your username, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.
