Vigor Terms of Use
Effective Date: 01Jun2022
Welcome to VIGOR! VIGOR is offered by VIGORSC, LLC (“VIGOR”, “we,” “us” or “our”), a South Carolina limited liability company. We hope that VIGOR will offer you a wonderful experience. Before using any of the services available through VIGOR, you need to read and agree to these Terms of Use (“Terms”). Please read the Terms carefully and print a copy for your records.
These Terms are entered into by and between you and VIGOR, and these Terms govern your access to and use of VIGOR, including any content, functionality, services or products offered on, through or in connection with VIGORSC.net (the “VIGOR Site”) (the collectively, the "Services").
BY CLICKING THE “I AGREE” BUTTON DURING THE ACCOUNT REGISTRATION PROCESS OR USING OTHER ACCEPTANCE METHODS PROVIDED BY OUR SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN GENERALLY ACCESSING THE SERVICES, YOUR USE AND CONTINUED ACCESS OF THE SERVICES SIGNIFIES YOUR ACCEPTANCE TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU ARE UNWILLING TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES OR CREATE AN ACCOUNT.
VIGOR IS NOT A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER. THE SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE USED FOR URGENT OR EMERGent HEALTHCARE NEEDS. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, PLEASE DIAL 911.
I. Changes to Services and Terms
The Effective Date of these Terms is set forth at the top of this webpage. We may change the Services or these Terms from time to time in our discretion. Changes to the Terms will be posted to this webpage. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any posted changes will be binding on you upon their posting. We encourage you to return to this webpage frequently so that you are aware of our current Terms. Your continued use of any of the Services after the Effective Date constitutes your acceptance of the amended Terms. The amended Terms supersede all previous versions.
II. VIGOR Services
VIGOR is a healthcare provider that offers telehealth services to men seeking treatment for low testosterone and testosterone replacement therapy (“TRT”) (the “Telehealth Services”). VIGOR does not offer primary care services and cannot take the place of your primary care physician. VIGOR encourages you to talk to your primary care physician about any TRT treatments that you may receive through the Services. VIGOR does not perform prostate cancer screening, PSA tests and/or rectal exams. You should consult with your primary care physician or urologist about these screening exams and provide them all appropriate records regarding your TRT treatments.
If a VIGOR physician determines that testosterone replacement therapy is medically appropriate, then VIGOR will communicate the prescription to an independent pharmacy (“Pharmacy Providers”) that can fill, dispense and deliver the medication to the Customer (“Pharmacy Services”).
All Pharmacy Providers are third party service providers. VIGOR does not control, supervise or interfere with the practices of such third parties. VIGOR only processes payment for services rendered by Pharmacy Providers to Customers on the Customer’s behalf. We are not responsible for any acts or omissions of, or recommendations provided by, such third parties. Such third parties are solely responsible for their provision of related services to you.
VIGOR’s Services are intended for men who are 18 years of age or older and who reside in South Carolina (the “Telehealth Jurisdictions”). If you are located outside of the Telehealth Jurisdictions, VIGOR will be unable to facilitate your request for Telehealth Services or Pharmacy Services.
III. Financial Responsibility for Services
VIGOR is not enrolled with, and is not a participating provider with, any federal or state healthcare programs (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid) or other health insurer. By agreeing to use the Services, you acknowledge and agree that (1) you are explicitly choosing to obtain Services, Telehealth Services, and Pharmacy Services on a cash basis outside of any federal, state or other healthcare program and you have sole financial responsibility for all Services, Telehealth Services and Pharmacy Services provided to you by, through or in connection with the Services, and (2) neither you nor VIGOR will submit a claim for reimbursement to any federal, state or other health insurer for the costs of the Services, Telehealth Services and Pharmacy Services.
IV. VIGOR Privacy Policy
Please review our privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) at https://www.vigorsc.net/privacy-policy to understand how we process information collected about you, including what information we collect through our Services, how such information is used, and how such information may be shared. When you register an Account through the Services, you are creating a direct customer relationship with VIGOR that enables you to access and/or utilize the various functions of the Services as a user. As part of the registration process for an Account and/or use of certain Services, you will provide to us your personal information that we may collect, use and disclose in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
You may also provide certain health or medical information in connection with the Telehealth Services and Pharmacy Services. VIGOR is not regulated by the Health Insurance Portability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations (“HIPAA”) or provincial health information privacy legislation. To facilitate the Pharmacy Services, you authorize the Pharmacy Provider to share with VIGOR, on your behalf, and for VIGOR to share with the Pharmacy Provider, your personal information including your health history and prescription information. This is necessary for us to provide Services. Such information is not protected health information as that term is defined in HIPAA when maintained and used by VIGOR for such purposes. Any such information processed by VIGOR shall be in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You may revoke this authorization at any time by canceling your Account or contacting VIGOR.
