  1. Medical Disclaimer. The Company does not provide medical advice.  Do not ask the Company for–or rely on–anything that we communicate as medical advice. Although our Services may contain Content on medical topics that are research-based, we make no warranty whatsoever that any of the Content is accurate. Even if a statement we make about a health or medical issue is accurate, it may not apply to you or a Person in your care’s symptoms.

You use our Services at your own risk.  There is no guarantee that using our Services will result in a successful childbirth, nor that connecting you with our experts will do the same.  

The Company’s Application is a web-based online information-sharing platform.  We also facilitate the sharing of information that improves birth professionals’ understanding of childbirth, the labor & birth process, and related information and provide educational support for those caring for patients on their childbirth journey.

We make a variety of information, articles, feedback, tips, advice, recommendations, messages, comments, posts, text, graphics, photographs, information, videos, data, questionnaires, algorithms, birth processes and other materials (collectively, “Content“) available on or through our Application.  Some of the Content is provided by the Company or its affiliates, partners, and suppliers, and other Content is provided by users. The Company cannot guarantee, and is not responsible for, the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any Content, whether provided by the Company or its suppliers, or by users of our Services. Any opinions, advice, statements, or other information expressed or made available by users or third parties are the responsibility of those respective users or other third parties and not of the Company. The Company does not endorse and is not responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice, or statement made anywhere in the Services, including, importantly, within any forums or community-type features.  Our Content is for informational purposes only.  The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment and requires health care professionals to first use their clinical judgment and critical thinking skills to first care for the patient. This information does not override any MD/CNM order or policy and procedure representative of your hospital.  All Content and Services are provided for general educational and informational purposes only.

The Company does not have any obligation to prescreen, edit, or remove any Content provided by users that is posted on or available through the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will have the right (but not the obligation), in our sole discretion and for any reason, to prescreen, edit, refuse to accept, remove, or move any such Content.

The Content on our Website, including health or medical information is, at best, general and does not and is not meant to be a substitute for the advice of a licensed medical professional (like a qualified doctor/physician, physician assistant, nurse, therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or other healthcare provider), and should not be used to diagnose or treat any kind of disease, illness or symptom. We cannot and do not take any responsibility for the results or consequences of any attempt to use or adopt any of the Content on our Website. You should not interpret anything in our Content or Services or on our Website as an attempt to offer or render a medical or healthcare opinion or otherwise engage in the practice of medicine or therapy.

As a reminder, treatment-related decisions regarding actual medical diseases, illnesses, and symptoms are best made in direct collaboration with a well-informed licensed medical or therapeutic professional.  Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. If you think that you, or a person in your care, may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately or initiate the chain of command, code blue or other applicable healthcare processes to initiate emergency services.  THE COMPANY AND ITS EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS, CONTRACTORS, AND CONTRIBUTORS SHOULD NOT BE CONTACTED WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THEY CAN OR WILL RESPOND TO ANY ACTUAL EMERGENCY.

We do not endorse or guarantee any specific tests, products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on the Website.

(a) Data Protection and Privacy.  The Parties agree that Covered Entities, as that term is defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), may utilize the Bundle Birth website and application in the course of providing care to patients. As further detailed below, Bundle Birth acknowledges that it may act as a downstream vendor that interfaces with protected health information, as that term is defined under HIPAA.  As such, Bundle Birth has implemented appropriate data protection and security safeguards to protect information that may be inputted into the Bundle Birth website or Bundle Birth application.  

(b) Security Breach.  In the event of a security breach of the Bundle Birth website or application, Bundle Birth shall follow the protocols as outlined in its Breach Notification Policy, including notifying the affected party or parties as soon as Bundle Birth becomes aware of the breach. As part of the notification process, Bundle Birth shall promptly: (i) provide any information about the event requested by the affected party or parties ; (ii) in the case of a security breach that involves protected health information, conduct an internal investigation to determine the cause and extent of the breach, which may include commissioning an independent third party to carry out an urgent review and audit of the security breach and provide a complete copy of that independent third party’s report to the affected party or parties;  (iii) complete required notifications as applicable, including notifications to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and (iv) take all steps necessary to remedy any weaknesses in its systems to prevent a recurrence of the event.  

  1. HIPAA. HIPAA imposes rules regarding protected health information.

Bundle Birth follows all of the requirements as defined under HIPAA in their business practices, policy, and staff. 

The Bundle Birth website and application are intended for providers to input patient information for the purposes of generating personalized recommendations to complement clinical practices. When the provider utilizing the website and/or application is a Covered Entity, Bundle Birth may be acting as a downstream vendor of the Covered Entity, and as such, the Bundle Birth website and application are designed to meet the requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule. Protected health information should only be inputted into the Bundle Birth website and application with the patient’s consent. In addition to ensuring HIPAA Compliance, Bundle Birth has implemented additional measures to meet industry standards to protect the security and integrity of information that is provided through the Bundle Birth website and application.
