Phia Health Terms of Use

Last updated: May 21, 2026

Welcome to Phia Health. These Terms of Use ("Terms"), govern your access to and use of the website, related mobile applications, membership services (including administrative and technology services), and connectivity required to receive telehealth services through a virtual clinic (collectively, the "Services").

Please read these Terms carefully before using the Services. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU ("YOU") AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME. If You are accepting these Terms for another person(s) (such as Your children or other family members) (each a "Covered Family Member") as such Covered Family Member's parent, guardian, conservator, or custodian, you agree to the terms, conditions, and notices contained or referenced herein on behalf of such Covered Family Member.

These Terms include, without limitation, the following terms, as further detailed below:

  • THIS IS NOT AN EMERGENCY SERVICE. If you are experiencing a medical emergency or mental health crisis, please call 911, your medical care provider or a mental health crisis line. See below for additional Emergency and Crisis Information.
  • We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use and the Service at any time. Please pay attention to updated Terms of Use.
  • We disclaim warranties and limit our liability as detailed below.
  • By agreeing to these Terms of Use, you agree to the arbitration clause and class action waiver below that affects your dispute rights.

1. AI-Operated, Specialist Supported

When you use the Phia chat, you are interacting with a virtual artificial intelligence (AI) assistant, not a human and not a replacement for medical care. Any content or feedback provided by the Service and/or Phia AI is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for the professional judgement of medical care providers in diagnosing and treating patients. Responses are general in nature and may not account for your specific medical situation, medications, or conditions not disclosed to the Service. Always consult your physician or qualified healthcare provider with any questions regarding a medical condition. Phia AI does not practice medicine and cannot be held liable for medical malpractice.

The Service does not provide real-time health monitoring and does not automatically make your information available to medical care providers. Moreover, medical care providers are not monitoring your conversations with Phia AI. Do not assume that your medical care provider is aware of any information you submit to the Service (or that they will receive this information promptly). Accordingly, please share any relevant information directly with your medical care provider.

You may use the Service to receive specialty care services from professional medical care providers (e.g., telehealth consultations with licensed providers). In such instances, you may be communicating directly with the provider through the Service. However, you need a separate primary care physician to use the Service.

11. Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully as it affects your rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court.

A. Binding Individual Arbitration

You and we acknowledge and agree that any dispute arising in connection with the Service will be settled by binding individual arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") according to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") and federal arbitration law and according to the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. You and the Company both agree that the arbitration will be conducted in the English language and that the arbitrator will be bound by these Terms.

For Disputes in which the claimant seeks less than $10,000, the arbitrator will decide the matter solely on the basis of written submissions, without a formal hearing, unless the arbitrator decides that a formal hearing is necessary. For matters in which the claimant seeks $10,000 or more, or smaller matters in which the arbitrator determines a hearing to be necessary, hearings shall be conducted by video or telephone, unless the arbitrator determines an in-person hearing to be necessary. If an in-person hearing is required, the hearing will take place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania unless the arbitrator determines that this would pose a hardship for the claimant, in which case the in-person hearing may be conducted in the claimant's state and county of residence.

The arbitrator (not a judge or jury) will resolve the Dispute. Unless you and the Company agree otherwise, any decision or award will include a written statement stating the decision of each claim and the basis for the award, including the arbitrator's essential factual and legal findings and conclusions.

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the arbitrator may only award legal or equitable remedies that are Individual to you or the Company to satisfy one of our individual claims (that the arbitrator determines are supported by credible relevant evidence).

An arbitration award, and any judgment confirming it, apply only to that specific case; it cannot be used or offered as precedent in any other case except to enforce the award itself.

Any decision or award may be enforced as a final judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction or, if applicable, application may be made to such court for judicial confirmation of any award and an order of enforcement.

B. Class Action Waiver

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby waive the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, and may not:

  • seek to bring, join, or participate in any class or representative action, collective or class-wide arbitration, or any other action where another individual or entity acts in a representative capacity; or
  • consolidate or combine individual proceedings or permit another to do so without the express consent of all parties to these Terms.

C. Your 30-Day Right to Opt Out

You have the right to opt out of and not to be bound by the Binding Individual Arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms of Use (except for the class action waiver, which is not subject to an opt-out). To exercise this right, you must send written notice of your decision by email or via U.S. mail to one of the following addresses:

privacy@phiahealth.com

Phia Health, Inc. 1000 N. Broad Street, Suite 100, Philadelphia, PA 19123

Your notice must include your name, mailing address, and email address associated with your account with/relationship to the Company, and state that you do not wish to be bound by the Binding Individual Arbitration and Class Action Waiver provisions set forth in these Terms. TO BE EFFECTIVE, THIS NOTICE MUST BE EMAILED, POSTMARKED, OR DEPOSITED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE ON WHICH YOU FIRST ACCEPTED THESE TERMS UNLESS A LONGER PERIOD IS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW; OTHERWISE, YOU WILL BE BOUND TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION. You are responsible for ensuring that the Company receives your opt-out notice, so you may wish to send it by a means that provides for a delivery receipt. If you opt out of these provisions, the Company will not be bound by them with respect to disputes with you.

12. Terms may be Modified by the Company

The Company may revise and update these Terms at any time without notice by posting the amended terms to the Service. Your continued use of the Service means that you accept and agree to the revised Terms.

13. Miscellaneous

These Terms of Use shall be governed in all respects by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, USA, without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

These Terms, as they may be amended from time to time, completely and exclusively state the agreement between you and the Company with respect to the Service, and no other terms that may have been communicated to you orally or in any other manner shall have any force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any additional terms and conditions on the Service will govern the items to which they pertain.

If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the unenforceable part shall be construed to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties. The other provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.

The Company's failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of the provision. Neither a course of dealing or conduct between you and the Company nor any trade practices shall be deemed to modify these Terms of Use.
