PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE BROWSING THIS PAGE

These terms and conditions of use and services (hereinafter referred to as the “Terms of Use”) govern the use of the online interface and properties (for example, websites, landing pages or mobile applications) owned and controlled by INSTITUTO DE INFERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA MÉXICO, S.C., including the link www.ingenes.com (hereinafter the “Site”), as well as the services (hereinafter the “Services”) and products (hereinafter the “Products”) available to users of the Site and landing pages.
INSTITUTO DE FERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA MÉXICO, S.C. (hereinafter referred to as “INGENES”, “we”, “us” and “our”) renders both medical and corporate services in different branches of service, and maintains business and collaboration relationships with other corporations in the United Mexican States, such as INSTITUTO DE FERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA MONTERREY, S.C., INSTITUTO DE FERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA GUADALAJARA, S.C., INSTITUTO DE FERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA QUERÉTARO, S.C., INSTITUTO DE FERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA MÉRIDA, S.C., INSTITUTO DE FERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA TIJUANA, S.C., INSTITUTO DE FERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA PUEBLA, S.C., INSTITUTO DE FERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA CANCÚN S.C., INSTITUTO DE INFERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA CHIHUAHUA S.C., INSTITUTO DE FERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA HERMOSILLO S.C., and INSTITUTO DE FERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA MAZATLÁN S.C. (individually or collectively, as the case may be, together with the medical branch of INSTITUTO DE INFERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA MÉXICO, S.C., referred to as the “Clinics” or “Clinic”), for the purpose of providing online medical services through consultations and a secure communication system between the participating physicians (individually referred to as “Provider” and collectively as the “Providers”) and patients. (See the applicable section on the terms applicable to medical service Providers.)
Given that INGENES has a medical services branch and a corporate services branch, with diversified roles, and in order to provide context for the use of these terms: where these Terms of Use refer to Clinic or Clinics, INSTITUTO DE INFERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA MÉXICO, S.C. is also considered as such for those purposes, since it also contracts or employs Providers; otherwise, where these Terms of Use refer to INSTITUTO DE INFERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA MÉXICO, S.C. solely as INGENES, the context applies to the related corporate and commercial services as developer and administrator of the Site, the Products and the Services.
The professional medical services rendered by the Clinics and those services not related to clinical or medical aspects related to the Site (which are rendered by INGENES) are collectively referred to in these Terms of Use as the “Services”. Pursuant to this document, the terms “you”, “your” and “yours” refer to any person, legal representative, guardian, conservator or custodian who accesses, registers for or uses any product or service offered on our websites.
Your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms of Use is an indispensable condition for the use of the Site and of the Services and Products offered. By clicking “Accept” or a similar sign, you unequivocally state that you have read, understood and accept these Terms of Use. The applicable Privacy Policy and/or Privacy Notice may be consulted at the links indicated below and independently governs the processing of your personal data. Acceptance of these Terms of Use does not, in and of itself, constitute consent to secondary purposes of marketing, advertising, segmentation, marketing automation or commercial transfers to independent third parties, which shall be subject to the corresponding consent mechanisms under the applicable Privacy Policy and/or Privacy Notice:

BY VIRTUE OF THE FOREGOING, YOU CONSENT TO WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO RESORT TO CONTENTIOUS JURISDICTION (INCLUDING THROUGH A COLLECTIVE OR CLASS ACTION) to assert your claim or defend your rights under these Terms of Use. Your rights will be declared and established by a NEUTRAL MEDIATOR CERTIFIED BY THE SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE OF MEXICO CITY (TRIBUNAL SUPERIOR DE JUSTICIA DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO) AND NOT BY A STATE JUDGE OR COURT, and your claims and demands may not be the subject of a collective or class action. Please review the Section on Dispute Resolution, as well as the Agreement to Mediate, to verify the details regarding the submission to mediation of any disputes you may have with INGENES or the Clinics related to these Terms of Use.
Services Provided: Their Nature Does Not Constitute a Medical Service or Consultation by INGENES or the Clinics
We offer an online communication and education platform for Providers and their patients to connect through the Site by means of health and wellness information, synchronous and asynchronous telecommunications, and other mechanisms and technologies for the exchange of medical information.
However, INGENES does not provide medical consulting or medical services, since it collaborates with the Clinics, which are independent companies with networks of physicians in Mexico that provide medical services and consulting. The Clinics’ Providers provide clinical services and may communicate with their patients through the Clinics’ own platform. Providers are independent service providers or employees of such medical corporations. Providers are not contracted or employed by INGENES. The Providers, and not INGENES, are responsible for the quality and appropriateness of the medical care they provide to you.
The Providers are independent of the corporate branch of INGENES and only use the Site as a strategy to provide information of interest to you and/or to communicate with you. Any information or recommendation received from a Provider belongs to that Provider’s own professional medical practice and not to INGENES. The interactions between you and the Providers through the Site are not intended to take precedence over or replace the doctor-patient relationship you have with your regular physicians or primary care physicians. Accordingly, neither INGENES nor any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, directors, employees, shareholders, business associates or any third party that may promote the Site or any Service, or a link to the Service, shall be liable for any professional opinion or recommendation issued by any Provider in connection with the use of the Site or any Service, or for any information obtained from the Site, directly or indirectly. INGENES does not recommend or endorse any specific Provider, tests, laboratories, physicians, medications, products or procedures. You understand that any reliance placed on a Provider, or acquiescence to the information provided by any such Provider through the Site or Service, is deemed accepted at your own risk, and that you understand the consequences of those acts, assuming full responsibility for all risks associated with that situation.
INGENES does not assume, represent, warrant or give any guarantee regarding the capability or skill of any of the Providers who provide services through the Site or the Services. Providers will be made available to you based on the information you provide to the Site. You are solely responsible for choosing any particular Provider.
The content of the Site and the Services, including, without limitation, text, copy, audio, video, information, photographs, illustrations, graphics and other visuals, is for informational purposes and under no circumstances constitutes medical consultation or opinion, diagnosis or treatment of any kind by INGENES. You should always seek professional advice from qualified health professionals regarding questions or concerns related to your medical needs or conditions. All information provided by INGENES, or related to communications used by INGENES, is for general informational purposes only and is not intended to establish a doctor-patient relationship as defined under applicable state and federal laws. With the understanding that INGENES may facilitate your selection of and communication with Providers, it does not provide any medical service, since the doctor-patient relationship arises between you and the Provider of the selected Clinic.
This Website may contain health- or medicine-related material and information that may be considered sexually explicit or even offensive. Accordingly, INGENES does not assume, warrant, represent or give any guarantee, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, usefulness, timeliness, truthfulness or sufficiency of any resource, information, apparatus, product or process available on this Site. Any transmission of information from this site is not intended to create, and does not in fact create, a doctor-patient relationship between you and INGENES or any Provider or physician of any Clinic.
Do Not Use the Service for Emergencies
IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU MUST DIAL “911” OR YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY LINE IMMEDIATELY.
This INGENES Site and any of the Services are not designed or prepared to handle emergencies or urgent situations. You must not disregard or delay seeking medical advice on the basis of any information contained or not contained on the Site. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, immediately call 9-1-1 or any other emergency service number available to you. You must seek emergency help or follow up with appropriate care when your Provider so recommends or as necessary. In all cases, you must continue consulting your primary care physician and other health professionals as recommended. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health professional regarding questions about a medical condition before stopping, starting or modifying any treatment or medication.
Risks of Using Remote Medical Consultations
In using the remote consultation Services offered, you understand the potential risks associated with remote health services. These include, without limitation, the following: the information transmitted may not be sufficient (for example, low image resolution) to allow the Provider to make appropriate health or medical decisions; delays in the evaluation of treatment may occur due to system failures; the lack of access to your medical history may result in unwanted drug interactions, allergic reactions or other errors of judgment; although the electronic systems used are secure and incorporate software and network security protocols to protect the privacy and safekeeping of your medical information, such protocols could fail and cause a compromise of your information, and therefore INGENES and the Clinics are released from all liability arising from such cause.
Typographical errors and incorrect prices. In the event that any Product or Service is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error, or at an incorrect price resulting from information received from a third party or a business associate, we retain the right to refuse or cancel any order or purchase placed at the incorrect price. We have the right to cancel or refuse the purchase whether or not such order has been confirmed and your credit or debit card has already been charged that amount. If your credit or debit card has already been charged for such order and your order is cancelled, we will promptly issue a credit to the card used for up to the amount charged.

Message and data rates may apply. To exercise opt-out or revocation options, the mechanisms provided in the applicable Privacy Policy and/or Privacy Notice or the means included in the communication itself must be used.

INGENES does not provide any medical consultation, legal advice or any warranty whatsoever with respect to any legal or medical issue associated with the Provider or with the goods or services offered by the Provider, including, without limitation, compliance obligations or the steps necessary to comply with any state or federal law, laws and regulations. The Provider must seek legal advice regarding any legal and compliance issues and must not rely on any material or content associated with the Services to determine the Provider’s compliance obligations under the Law. The Provider and INGENES agree that INGENES is not providing medical advice or legal advice to the Client or to any other person.
The Provider shall use the Site and the Services only in accordance with the applicable standards of good medical practice. Although software products such as the Site and the Services may facilitate and improve the quality of the service the Provider can offer to patients, several factors, including the relationship between the provider and the patient, may affect the patient’s outcome, and because intricate and interdependent technologies are involved, in addition to complex decision-making, it is often difficult or impossible to determine accurately which factors affected an outcome and to what extent. The Provider shall be solely responsible for its use of the Site and the Services and for the provision of medical services to the Provider’s patients. In this regard, the Provider releases INGENES and waives any potential claim against INGENES as a result of the Provider’s use of the Site and the Services and of the provision of services to the Provider’s patients.
As a result of the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the patient care process, the Provider agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless INGENES from any claim by or on behalf of any patient of the Provider, or on behalf of any other third party, business associate or person claiming damages by virtue of a family or financial relationship with such patient, that is brought against INGENES, regardless of the cause, if such claim arises for any reason out of the Provider’s use or operation of the Site and the Services. To the extent applicable, the Provider shall obtain the prior written consent of INGENES for any settlement or judgment in which the Provider admits any breach by, or judgment against, INGENES or any defect in the Site or the Services. INGENES shall promptly notify the Provider in writing of any claim subject to this indemnification, shall promptly provide the Provider with the information reasonably required for its defense and shall grant the Provider sole control over its defense and settlement.
If you submit, upload, transmit or post consents, notices, advice, recommendations, comments, files, videos, images or other materials to us or to our Site ("Provider Content"), or provide any Provider Content to patients or other consumers, you agree not to provide any Provider Content that (1) is defamatory, abusive, libelous, unlawful, obscene, threatening, harassing, fraudulent, pornographic or harmful, or that may constitute criminal or unethical behavior, (2) violates or infringes the privacy, copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets or intellectual property rights of any person or entity, or (3) contains or transmits a virus or any other harmful component. The Provider is responsible for obtaining the necessary agreements and consents and for providing the legally required notices to patients and other consumers. You represent and warrant to INGENES that you have the legal right and authorization to upload the Provider Content to the Site. Any license or authorization to use Provider materials that do not constitute personal data shall be subject to these Terms. Personal data, sensitive personal data, records, consents and other medical information included in the Provider Content shall not be subject to an unrestricted commercial license by virtue of these Terms and shall be processed in accordance with the applicable Privacy Policy and/or Privacy Notice and the corresponding confidentiality obligations.
INGENES does not regularly review Provider Content, but reserves the right (but not the obligation) to monitor, edit or remove content submitted to the Site when necessary for operation, security, legal compliance or to address a valid request. The Provider shall remain responsible for the content it posts or provides to patients or other consumers. Use of the Provider’s name or of non-personal materials associated with the content shall be limited to the purposes necessary to operate, display or provide the corresponding Service, unless a different authorization exists. Nothing in this section eliminates the obligations of confidentiality, personal data protection or professional secrecy that may apply.
Dispute Resolution; Agreement to Mediate
We will make every effort to work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with the Site, including the Products and Services ordered or purchased through the Site, if you report that issue to our patient care department. However, we are aware that there may be exceptional cases in which we are unable to resolve an issue to the satisfaction of a customer or patient.
You and INGENES 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 the Products and Services ordered or acquired through the Site, shall be determined by binding mediation rather than in the competent courts having jurisdiction. Mediation is more informal than filing a lawsuit in court. Mediation uses a neutral mediator instead of a judge or jury, and is subject to very limited review by the courts. Arbitration allows a self-compositive measure to reach a settlement agreement and resolve a present or future conflict through the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms. You agree that, by accepting these Terms of Use, the Alternative Justice Law of the Superior Court of Justice of Mexico City (Ley de Justicia Alternativa del Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Ciudad de México) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that both you and INGENES waive the right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action. This mediation provision shall survive the termination of these Terms of Use and of any other contractual relationship between you and INGENES.
If you wish to bring a claim against INGENES and thereafter choose to seek mediation, you must first send INGENES, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (the "Notification"). The Notification to INGENES must be addressed to: CARRETERA MÉXICO-TOLUCA 5420, INT. 602, EL YAQUI, CUAJIMALPA, MEXICO CITY, ZIP CODE 05320, and to the email address: contacto@ingenes.com. If INGENES wishes to bring a claim against you and therefore chooses to seek mediation, it will send you, by certified mail, a written Notification to the most recent address we have on file or in our records for you. Every Notice, whether sent by you or by INGENES, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If INGENES and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after receipt of the Notification, you or INGENES may commence a mediation proceeding.
Should the mediation not succeed, the following shall apply:
If the claim concerns a service performed in the United Mexican States (“Mexico”), the conciliation to be used is that provided by the “National Commission of Medical Arbitration” (Comisión Nacional de Arbitraje Médico, “CONAMED” for its Spanish acronym), which you must contact at:
1. Marina Nacional #60, 4th Floor, Alc. Miguel Hidalgo, Col. Tacuba, Mexico City. Mexico ZIP CODE 11410
Telephone number:
+ 52 55 54207000 or +52 800 711 0658
Email:
webmaster@conamed.gob.mx
YOU AND INGENES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR MEMBER OF ANY COLLECTIVE IN ANY CLASS OR COMMON REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
If the provision of this mediation or conciliation Agreement is determined to be unenforceable, then (a) this provision in its entirety shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claim shall be the state or federal courts located in California for claims regarding services performed in the United States of America, and the courts located in Mexico City for claims regarding services performed in Mexico.
Force Majeure
We shall not be deemed to have breached these terms, nor shall we be liable for any breach of these terms or of 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 network, power outages, earthquakes or floods, civil unrest, strikes, fires or other disasters.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, hold safe and harmless, indemnify and release from liability INGENES, the Clinics and any affiliate from and against any and all rights, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, claims, causes of action, actions and suits (whether at law or in equity), amounts, costs and attorneys’ fees of any kind 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 the Privacy Policy; (iii) the content or subject matter of any information you provide to INGENES, the Clinics or any Provider or customer service agent; and/or (iv) any negligent act or omission on your part in the use or misuse of the Site, the Products or Services or any information on the Site, including, without limitation, the infringement of intellectual property rights, privacy, rights, or negligent or unlawful conduct.
Revisions; General
INGENES reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to all or part of this Site, with or without just cause, and even without any notice. INGENES reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time, effective upon posting for future uses of the Site and the Services. Any use of the Site after such changes shall be subject to the version of these Terms then in effect. Modifications to these Terms do not, in and of themselves, authorize new purposes, uses or transfers of personal data previously obtained under a different notice or consent; where applicable, the provisions of the Privacy Policy and/or Privacy Notice regarding new purposes, consents and non-retroactivity shall apply. In the event that any of the Terms of Use is declared unenforceable by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms of Use remain in force and with legal effect. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between INGENES and you regarding the use of the Site, without superseding the privacy notices, consents, medical contracts, warranties, particular conditions or other documents that by their nature govern specific matters. Certain provisions of these Terms of Use may be superseded or supplemented by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages within this Site.
Intellectual Property Notice
All rights reserved. All trademarks, logos and service marks ("Marks") displayed on the Site are our property or the property of third parties or business associates. You are not permitted to use these Marks without our prior written consent or the consent of such third party that may own the Marks.

WEBSITE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE
Last revised: May 30, 2025
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE BROWSING THIS PAGE
THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE ARE APPLICABLE TO RESIDENTS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR TO ANY PERSON AROUND THE WORLD WHO WISHES TO ACQUIRE A SERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES AT INGENES HOUSTON, P.C. OR INGENES ORANGE COUNTY, INC.
These terms and conditions of use and services (hereinafter referred to as the “Terms of Use”) govern the use of the online interface and properties (e.g., websites, landing pages or mobile applications) owned and controlled by INSTITUTO DE INFERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA MÉXICO, S.C., including the link www.ingenes.com (hereinafter the “Site”), as well as the services (hereinafter the “Services”) and products (hereinafter the “Products”) available to users of the Site and landing pages.
INSTITUTO DE FERTILIDAD Y GENÉTICA MÉXICO, S.C. (hereinafter referred to as “INGENES”, “we”, “us” and “our”) conducts business and collaboration relationships with other corporations in the United States of America, such as INGENES HOUSTON, P.C. and INGENES ORANGE COUNTY, INC. (individually or collectively, as the case may be, referred to as the “PCs” or “PC”), for the purpose of providing online medical services through consultations and a secure communication system between participating physicians (individually referred to as the “Provider” and collectively as the “Providers”) and patients. (See the applicable Section of terms applicable to the Providers of medical services.)
The professional medical services rendered by the PCs and those services not related to clinical or medical aspects related to the Site (which are provided by INGENES) are collectively referred to in these Terms of Use as the “Services”. Under this agreement, the terms “you”, “your” and “yours” refer to any person, legal representative, guardian, conservator or custodian who accesses, registers or uses any product or service offered on our websites.
Your acceptance of, and compliance with, these Terms of Use is an indispensable condition for the use of the Site and of the Services and Products offered. By clicking “Accept” or a similar sign, you shall understand that this constitutes an express or tacit but unequivocal sign that you understand and agree to the Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy and the Notice of Privacy Practices, all of which may be consulted at the following link:
- https://www.ingenes.com/aviso-de-privacidad/
- https://www.ingenes.com/aviso-de-practicas-de-privacidad/
If you do not agree to be bound by these terms and conditions of use of the Website, content or Services, please exit the page promptly.
Arbitration Agreement
These Terms of Use provide that any dispute or conflict arising between you and INGENES or the PCs that relates to these Terms of Use or your use of the Website shall be resolved by SUBMISSION TO ARBITRATION. ACCORDINGLY, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT (INCLUDING IN A COLLECTIVE OR CLASS ACTION) to assert your claim or defend your rights under these Terms of Use. Your rights will be declared and determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR AND NOT A STATE JUDGE OR JURY, and your claims and demands cannot be brought as a collective or class action. Please review the Section on Dispute Resolution, as well as the Arbitration Agreement, for the details regarding the submission to arbitration of any disputes with INGENES or the PCs relating to these Terms of Use.
Privacy Policy
You agree that any information provided by you, confidential or not, in connection with the Services and the Site shall be subject to the scrutiny and regulation of the Notice of Privacy Practices of INGENES and the PCs, as well as the Privacy Policy, which altogether form an integral and complete part of these Terms of Use and complement each other as a single, uniform set of rules.
Services Provided: Their Nature Does Not Constitute a Medical Service or Consultation by INGENES or the PCs
We offer an online education and communication platform for Providers and their patients to connect via the Site through the use of health and wellness information, synchronous and asynchronous telecommunications and other mechanisms and technologies for the exchange of medical information.
However, INGENES does not provide medical advice or medical services, since it collaborates with the PCs, which are independent medical corporations with networks of physicians in the United States of America who render medical services and advice. The PCs’ Providers deliver clinical services and may communicate with their patients via the PCs’ own platform. Providers are independent contractors or employees of such medical corporations. Providers are not contracted or employed by INGENES. The Providers, and not INGENES, are responsible for the quality and appropriateness of the medical care they render to you.
The Providers are independent of INGENES and merely use the Site as a strategy to provide information of interest and/or communicate with you. Any information or advice received from a Provider belongs to the Provider’s own professional medical practice, and not to INGENES. Your interactions with the Providers by means of the Site are not intended to take precedence over or take the place of the physician-patient relationship you have with your regular physicians or primary care physicians. Therefore, neither INGENES, nor any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, directors, employees, shareholders, business associates or any third party who may promote the Site or any Service, or provide a link to the Service, shall be liable for any professional opinion or advice issued by any Provider in connection with the use of the Site or any Service, nor for any information obtained from the Site, directly or indirectly. INGENES does not recommend or endorse any specific Providers, tests, laboratories, physicians, medications, products or procedures. You acknowledge that your reliance on any Provider, or your acquiescence to the information delivered by any such Providers by means of the Site or Service, is deemed accepted at your own risk, and you acknowledge the consequences of such acts, assuming full responsibility for all risks associated therewith.
INGENES does not make any representations or warranties about the ability or skill of any Providers who deliver services via the Site or the Services. You will be provided with Providers based on the information you submit to the Site. You are solely responsible for choosing any particular Provider.
The content of the Site and the Services, including without limitation, text, copy, audio, video, data, photographs, illustrations, graphics and other visuals, is for informational purposes and does not, under any circumstances, constitute medical consultation or opinion, diagnosis or treatment of any kind by INGENES. You should always seek the professional opinion of qualified health care professionals with any questions or concerns regarding your needs or medical conditions. All information provided by INGENES, or in connection with communications used by INGENES, is intended for general information purposes only, and is not intended to create a physician-patient relationship as defined by applicable state and federal laws. While INGENES may facilitate your selection of, and communications with, Providers, INGENES does not provide any medical services, as the physician-patient relationship is formed between you and the Provider of the PC selected.
This Website may contain health- or medical-related materials and information that may be considered sexually explicit or even offensive. Therefore, INGENES makes no representation or warranty, either express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, usefulness, timeliness, reliability or adequacy of any resource, information, apparatus, product or process available on this Site. Any transmission of information from this Site is not intended to create, nor does it create, a physician-patient relationship between you and INGENES or any Provider or physician of any PC.
Not for Emergencies
IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD DIAL “911” IMMEDIATELY.
This INGENES Site and the Services are not designed or prepared to attend to emergencies or urgent situations. You should not disregard or delay seeking medical advice based on any information that appears or does not appear on the Site. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 9-1-1 immediately or any other emergency service number at your disposal. You should seek emergency help or follow up with proper care when recommended by your Provider or as otherwise needed. You should in any event continue to consult with your primary care physician and other healthcare professionals as recommended. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified healthcare provider concerning questions you have regarding a medical condition before stopping, starting or modifying any treatment or medication.
Risks of Using Remote Medical Consultations
By using the remote consultation Services offered, you acknowledge the potential risks associated with remote health services. These include, without limitation, the following: information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g., poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate health or medical decision making by the Provider; delays in the evaluation of treatment could occur due to system failures; a lack of access to your medical records may result in adverse drug interactions, allergic reactions or other judgment errors; although the electronic systems used are secure and incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and safekeeping of your medical information, those protocols could fail and cause a compromise of your information, thereby releasing INGENES or the PCs from any liability arising therefrom.
Typographical Errors and Incorrect Pricing. In the event a Product or Service is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error, or at an incorrect price derived from information received from a third party or business associate, we shall have the right to refuse or cancel any order or purchase placed at the incorrect price. We shall have the right to cancel or refuse the purchase whether or not such order has been confirmed and your credit or debit card has already been charged with such amount. If your credit or debit card has already been charged for such order and your order is canceled, we will promptly issue a credit to the card used, up to the amount paid.
Eligibility and Restrictions on Use
In order to access this Site or other related pages and the Services, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age and have full legal capacity to hold and exercise rights in order to commit to the use of this Site and to the obligations set forth in the Terms of Use.
You agree to accurately and truthfully complete the information required to create your INGENES Account (hereinafter the “Account”), including, without limitation, your name, email address, phone number, personal email and password, which will become your INGENES ID and access credentials. The INGENES ID and/or credentials are personal to you, and you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your INGENES ID and/or credentials, as well as for all activities that may be carried out under such INGENES ID and/or credentials. Your access may be revoked by INGENES at any time with or without cause.
You are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of the Site, including, without limitation, (a) accessing information not intended for the user or accessing a server or account which the user is not authorized to access; or (b) attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of any system or network, or to breach security or authentication measures without proper authorization; or (c) accessing or using the Site or any of its components without authorization, in violation of the Terms of Use or of any legal provision.
You are prohibited from using scrapers, crawlers or spiders, bots, robots or any other mechanism to access or copy information on the Site, to deep-link to any functionality, feature or content of the Site, or to bypass our bot exclusion mechanisms or other measures used to safeguard against and prevent unauthorized access to the Site. Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability. INGENES will investigate any occurrence that may involve such violations and may involve, and cooperate with, law enforcement and prosecuting authorities. You agree not to use any device, software or routine that interferes or is intended to interfere with the operation of the Site or any activity conducted on the Site.

Except as otherwise provided in the Privacy Policy or in the Notice of Privacy Practices, in accordance with protected health information, privacy and consumer information rules, by providing your mobile phone number and email address, you agree that INGENES and the PCs may contact you at the mobile phone number or email address that you have provided, including calls, text messages, social media and emails, to receive information related to the Products or the Services (e.g., progress and evolution tracking, medication refill reminders, checkup reminders, etc.) and marketing communications related to the Site and the Services.

Assignment
You may not assign, transfer, or delegate the Terms of Use or any part thereof without the prior written consent of INGENES. INGENES may freely transfer, assign, or delegate all or any part of the Terms of Use, and any rights or duties hereunder. The Terms of Use will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, and permitted assignees of the parties.
Supplemental Terms Applicable to Providers
These supplemental terms apply to Providers in addition to the other provisions of these Terms of Use. In the event of a conflict between the supplemental terms and any other terms herein, the supplemental terms shall prevail.
To be a healthcare provider using the Site (“Provider” or “you”), you must be a licensed or certified physician contracted or employed by any of the PCs, and must agree to comply with all laws, Medical Board rules and other rules and regulations applicable to you as a Provider or otherwise. Your relationship with INGENES users (including the PCs’ patients) is directly between you and the patient. The patient will never have a physician-patient relationship with INGENES. INGENES does not practice medicine and offers no medical services. As set forth more fully below, the Provider is solely responsible for all agreements, consents, notices and other interactions with patients and other consumers.
INGENES does not provide any medical advice, legal advice, or any warranty regarding any legal or medical issues associated with the Provider or the goods or services offered by the Provider, including but not limited to any compliance obligations or steps necessary to comply with any state or federal laws and regulations. The Provider should seek legal counsel regarding any legal and compliance issues, and should not rely on any materials or content associated with the Services in determining the Provider’s compliance obligations under law. The Provider and INGENES agree that INGENES is not providing, to the Customer or anyone else, medical advice or legal advice.
The Provider will use the Site and the Services only in accordance with applicable standards of good medical practice. While software products such as the Site and the Services can facilitate and improve the quality of service that the Provider can offer patients, several factors, including the provider/patient relationship, can affect a patient outcome, and since intricate and interdependent technologies and complex decision-making are involved, it is often difficult or impossible to accurately determine what the factors were and in what proportion they affected an outcome. The Provider shall be solely responsible for its use of the Site and the Services, and for the provision of medical services to the Provider’s patients. In this regard, the Provider releases INGENES and waives any and all potential claims against INGENES as a result of the Provider’s use of the Site and the Services, and the provision of services to the Provider’s patients.
As a result of the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the patient care process, the Provider agrees to defend, indemnify and hold INGENES harmless from any claim by or on behalf of any patient of the Provider, or on behalf of any other third party, business associate or person claiming damage by virtue of a familial or financial relationship with such a patient, which is brought against INGENES, regardless of the cause, if such claim arises, for any reason whatsoever, out of the Provider’s use or operation of the Site and the Services. To the extent applicable, the Provider will obtain the prior written consent of INGENES to any settlement or judgment in which the Provider agrees to any breach by, or judgment against, INGENES or any defect in the Site or the Services. INGENES will promptly notify the Provider in writing of any claim subject to this indemnification, promptly provide the Provider with the information reasonably required for the defense thereof, and grant the Provider exclusive control over its defense and settlement.
If you submit, upload, transmit, or post any consents, notices, advice, recommendations, comments, files, videos, images or other materials to us or our Site (“Provider Content”) or provide any Provider Content to patients or other consumers, you agree not to provide any Provider Content that (1) is defamatory, abusive, libelous, unlawful, obscene, threatening, harassing, fraudulent, pornographic, or harmful, or that could constitute criminal or unethical behavior, (2) violates or infringes the privacy, copyright, trademark, trade dress, trade secrets or intellectual property rights of any person or entity, or (3) contains or transmits a virus or any other harmful component. The Provider is solely responsible for obtaining all necessary agreements and consents from, and providing all required notices to, patients and other consumers. You agree not to contact other users through unsolicited email, telephone calls, mailings or any other method of communication. You represent and warrant to INGENES that you have the legal right and authorization to upload all Provider Content to the Site. INGENES shall have a royalty-free, irrevocable, transferable right and license to use the Provider Content however INGENES desires, including, without limitation, to copy, modify, delete in its entirety, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from and/or sell and/or distribute such Provider Content and/or incorporate such Provider Content into any form, medium or technology throughout the world. INGENES is and shall be under no obligation (1) to maintain any Provider Content in confidence; (2) to pay you any compensation for any Provider Content; or (3) to respond to any Provider Content.
INGENES does not regularly review Provider Content, but does reserve the right (but not the obligation) to monitor and edit or remove any Provider Content submitted to the Site. You grant INGENES the right to use the name that you submit in connection with any Provider Content. You agree not to use a false email address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of any Provider Content. You are and shall remain solely responsible for the content of any Provider Content you post to the Site or provide to patients or other consumers. INGENES and its affiliates take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Provider Content submitted by you or any third party.
Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement
Every effort will be made 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 patient care department. However, we are aware that there may be exceptional cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to a customer’s or patient’s satisfaction.
You and INGENES 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 the competent courts having 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 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 Supreme Court of the United States of America. 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 INGENES 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 INGENES.
If you wish to assert a claim against INGENES and thereafter elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to INGENES, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (the “Notice”). The Notice to INGENES should be addressed to: 371 E Street, Chula Vista, California, 91910 (“Notice Address”) and to the email: contacto@ingenes.com. If INGENES wishes to assert a claim against you and therefore elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. A Notice, whether sent by you or by INGENES, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If INGENES and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or INGENES may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by INGENES or by you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. If the claim is about a service that takes place in the United States:
You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after INGENES receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US $10,000. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by requesting them from us in writing at the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms of Use. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of these Terms of Use, including this arbitration agreement. Unless INGENES and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. (If you reside outside of the United States, any arbitration hearings will take place in your country of residence at a location reasonably convenient to you, but will remain subject to the AAA Rules, including the AAA rules regarding the selection of an arbitrator.) If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written award sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of the last written settlement offer of INGENES made before an arbitrator was selected (or if INGENES did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then INGENES will pay you the amount of the award or USD $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Each party shall pay its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for payment or recovery of attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
If the claim is about a service that takes place in the United Mexican States (“Mexico”), the arbitration to be used is the one provided by the National Commission of Medical Arbitration (Comisión Nacional de Arbitraje Médico, CONAMED), and you should contact it at:
1. Marina Nacional #60, 4th Floor, Alc. Miguel Hidalgo, Col. Tacuba, Mexico City. Mexico Zip Code 11410
Phone number:

webmaster@conamed.gob.mx
YOU AND INGENES 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 CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Further, unless both you and INGENES agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not preside over any form of class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive or procedural relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide the relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
If this Agreement to Arbitrate provision is found to be unenforceable, then (a) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts located in California for claims of services that take place in the United States of America and in courts located in Mexico City for claims of services that take place in Mexico.
Force Majeure
We will not be deemed to be in breach of these terms or liable for any breach of these terms or of 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 outages, earthquakes or floods, civil disorder, strikes, fire or other disasters.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, hold harmless, indemnify and release INGENES, the PCs 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 in equity), amounts, costs and attorneys’ 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 the Privacy Policy; (iii) the content or subject matter of any information you provide to INGENES, the PCs, or any Provider or customer service agent; and/or (iv) any negligent act or omission by you in your use or misuse of the Site, the Products or Services or any information on the Site, including, without limitation, infringement of intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or negligent or wrongful conduct.
Revisions; General

INGENES reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time, effective upon posting. Any use of this website after such changes will be deemed an acceptance of those changes. You agree to review the Terms of Use each time you access this website so that you may be aware of any changes to these Terms. In the event that any of the Terms of Use are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms of Use shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between INGENES and you pertaining to the subject matter hereof. In its sole discretion, INGENES may from time to time revise these Terms of Use by updating this posting. You should, therefore, periodically visit this page to review the current Terms of Use, so you are aware of any such revisions by which you are bound. Certain provisions of these Terms of Use may be superseded by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages within this Site.
