Walgreens Terms of Use

Last Modified: January 2, 2024


1. Acceptance of the Terms of Use

These terms of use are entered into by and between you and Walgreen Co., on behalf of itself and its affiliates (“Walgreens,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents expressly incorporated by reference (collectively, these “Terms of Use”), govern your access to and use of virtualhealthcare.walgreens.com (the “Website”) including any content, functionality, and services offered or otherwise made available on or through our Website (collectively, the “Platform”), whether as a guest or a registered user.

THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, AS WELL AS CONDITIONS, LIMITATIONS, AND EXCLUSIONS THAT MIGHT APPLY TO YOU. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Platform. By using the Platform, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Online Privacy & Security Policy and Notice of Privacy Practices, incorporated herein by reference and made part of these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you may not access or use our Platform.

If you are accessing the Platform on behalf of a corporation, government entity, or other legal entity, you further represent and warrant that you have the right, power, and authority to enter into these Terms of Use on behalf of such corporation, government entity, or other legal entity. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with Walgreens and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you may not access or use the Platform.

2. The Platform – No Medical Care or Advice

The Platform is powered and operated by a third-party service provider (“Vendor”) to Walgreens. Walgreens and Vendor are not medical groups and do not provide medical advice, care, and/or treatment. Walgreens provides administrative and management services to independent, physician-owned and operated, medical practices. Walgreens contracts with the Walgreens Health Medical Group, P.A. and its affiliated medical groups (“Medical Group”), which are independent medical groups with a network of United States based health care providers (each, a “Provider”) to provide online telehealth clinical consultations, services, and/or treatment. The professional medical services provided by Medical Group through the use of our Platform are collectively referred to in this Terms of Use as the “Services.”

Any Services obtained through our Platform are provided by Providers, including but not limited to Medical Group. Walgreens licenses the “Walgreens” brand name to Medical Group and other affiliated medical practices that use our Platform to assist in the provision of Services. Each Walgreens-branded practice is owned and operated by a licensed physician. Each Walgreens-branded practice engages a network of United States based clinicians who provide the Services. The Providers deliver the Services via the Platform to their patients. Walgreens does not provide medical advice or care, own or operate the medical practices, employ or in any way supervise the clinicians providing medical care, and control over the Services provided is the sole responsibility of the Medical Group and the Providers they employ. Services and practices may vary across Providers, and patients should contact Medical Group directly at (866) 740-7721 for all questions concerning their medical care.

3. Not for Emergencies

Our Platform and the Services are not for medical emergencies or urgent situations. You should not disregard or delay seeking medical advice based on anything that appears or does not appear on our Platform.

IF YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE EXPERIENCING AN EMERGENCY, CALL 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY.

You should seek emergency help or follow up care when recommended by a Provider or when otherwise needed. You should continue to consult with your primary healthcare provider 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 and before stopping, starting, or modifying any treatment.

4. Risk of Telehealth Services

By using the Services, you acknowledge the potential risks associated with telehealth services. These include but are not limited to the following: information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g. poor resolution of images) to allow for appropriate medical or health care decision making by the Provider; delays in evaluation or treatment could occur due to failures of electronic equipment; a lack of access to your medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors; although the electronic systems we use incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information, those protocols could fail causing a breach of privacy of your health information.

5. Prescription Policy

Certain products available through the Platform require a valid prescription prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider. You will not be able to obtain a prescription product unless you have completed a consultation with one of the Providers through the Platform, the Provider has determined the prescription product is appropriate for you, and the Provider has written a prescription. If a Provider determines a prescription product is appropriate for you and writes a prescription, you may fill the prescription at any pharmacy of your choice as prompted during your use of the Services.

You agree that any prescriptions that you acquire from a Provider will be solely for your personal use. You agree to fully and carefully read all provided product information and labels and to contact a physician or pharmacist if you have any questions regarding the prescription.

6. Changes to the Terms of Use

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time at our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Platform thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice prior to the date the change is posted on the Platform.

Your continued use of the Platform following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page each time you access our Platform so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

7. Privacy Practices

All information we collect on or through the Platform, and that you provide in connection with the Services, is subject to our Online Privacy & Security Policy and the applicable Medical Group Notice of Privacy Practices. By using the Platform, you consent to all actions taken by us with respect to your information in compliance with our Online Privacy & Security Policy and the Notice of Privacy Practices, which are incorporated by reference and made part of these Terms of Use.

Before making a purchase, you will see the actual charges by Medical Group for the Services.

THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY THAT APPLIES TO ALL LOSSES AND DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT, GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF DATA, USE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, REVENUE, PROFITS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER BASIS; EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND WITHOUT REGARD TO THE SUCCESS OR EFFECTIVENESS OF OTHER REMEDIES.

IF ANY PART OF THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS FOUND TO BE INVALID, ILLEGAL OR UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, THEN THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF WALGREENS, VENDOR AND MEDICAL GROUP UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES TO YOU OR ANY PERSON OR ENTITY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU FOR LIABILITIES THAT OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE BEEN LIMITED WILL NOT EXCEED ONE THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

22. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us, and our affiliates, licensors, licensees, successors, distributors, and each of our and their respective officers, directors, managers, owners, employees, agents, representatives and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless from and against any claims or demands, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs), arising out of or relating to: (i) your violation of law, these Terms of Use, or our Online Privacy & Security Policy; (ii) your posting of User Contributions, or any other use or misuse of the Platform; or (iii) infringement of a third party's intellectual property or other rights by you, or another user of the Platform using your computer, device or account.

23. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to the Platform and these Terms of Use and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction).

In the event of any dispute or claim involving intellectual property, or in the event the arbitration described in Section 24 is not available or upon mutual agreement of both parties to waive arbitration, any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Platform shall be instituted exclusively in the federal or state courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

24. Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. YOU AGREE THAT BY USING THE PLATFORM, YOU AND WALGREENS AND MEDICAL GROUP (FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION 24, WALGREENS AND MEDICAL GROUP SHALL BE COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS “WALGREENS”) ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND WALGREENS 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 PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

You and Walgreens agree that all claims and disputes arising from or relating in any way to the subject matter of these Terms of Use, your use of our Platform, or your and Walgreens dealings with one another in connection with our Platform, shall be finally settled and resolved through BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION as described in this section. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be interpreted broadly. The arbitration will be administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) under the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect, except as modified by this section. The Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures are available online at jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court and review by a court is limited. Neither you nor Walgreens will be able to have a court or jury trial or participate in a class action or class arbitration. You and Walgreens each further understand and agree that by agreeing to resolve any dispute through individual arbitration:

YOU AND WALGREENS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. ANY DISPUTE SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE THE CLAIMS OF MULTIPLE PARTIES.

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOUR USE OF OUR PLATFORM, OR YOUR AND WALGREENS’ DEALINGS WITH ONE ANOTHER IN CONNECTION WITH OUR PLATFORM MUST BE COMMENCED IN ARBITRATION WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. AFTER SUCH TWO-YEAR PERIOD, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

You and Walgreens agree that all challenges to the validity and applicability of the arbitration provision (i.e., whether a particular claim or dispute is subject to arbitration) shall be determined by the arbitrator. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Use to the contrary, if the class action waiver above is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Walgreens will be entitled to arbitration. If the arbitration provision in this section is found unenforceable or to be not applicable for a given dispute, then the proceeding must be brought exclusively in the state and federal courts of competent jurisdiction located in Cook County, Illinois, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of each of these courts for the purpose of litigating such claims or disputes, and you still waive your right to a jury trial, waive your right to initiate or proceed in a class or collective action, and remain bound by all limitations on liability and damages included in these Terms of Use. This arbitration provision will survive termination of your use of our Platform. This arbitration provision involves interstate commerce and, therefore, shall be governed by the FAA, and not by state law. Information on JAMS, how to start arbitration, and a description of the arbitration process can be found at www.jamsadr.com.

25. Compliance with Laws

You assume all knowledge of applicable law and you are responsible for compliance with any such laws. You may not use the Platform in any way that violates applicable state, federal, or international laws, regulations, or other government requirements.

26. Waiver and Severability

No waiver by Walgreens of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Walgreens to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

27. Injunctive Relief

You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to Walgreens for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and Walgreens shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security, or proof of damages.
