SECTION 5. TERMS OF SERVICE

Before Synaptic Physical Therapy, Inc. ("we" or "us") begins providing Services to you, we need to inform you of the different Services we provide.

A. Physical Therapy

“Physical Therapy” services are medically necessary interventions that are provided to address a disability or other physical problems that result from an injury, disease, or other medical condition that we identify through a physical therapy examination. There are some limitations on what physical therapy services we can provide without a physician referral.  If you have not received a medical diagnosis by a licensed diagnostician, California Law allows direct access to physical therapy meaning you do not need a referral to see your physical therapist for treatment for up to 45 calendar days or 12 visits, after which time you must be seen by a physician who must approve the plan of care developed by the physical therapist. It is your responsibility to obtain and maintain a current referral during your treatments. If you have not received a medical diagnosis prior to receiving services, you must sign our Direct Physical Therapy Treatment Services Disclosure Statement.

B. Fitness, Wellness, and Coaching

"Fitness,” “Wellness,” and "Coaching" are services designed to optimize your overall health or meet your individual health, fitness, lifestyle, and educational goals but are not medically necessary. You do not need a physician’s referral to participate in wellness, fitness, or coaching services. If during the course of our wellness, fitness, or coaching services with you, you have specific complaints of pain or have a medical condition that requires a more specific therapeutic exercise prescription or intervention, we recommend that you see a licensed physical therapist or your physician for an examination. If you require physical therapy treatment, we can provide those services to you or refer you to another physical therapist who is in-network with your insurance plan. (We are not in-network with any health insurance plans and are not enrolled as a provider in the Medicare program and therefore require payment from you at the time of service.)

C. Mentoring and Consulting

“Mentoring” and “Consulting” are services designed to assist the user in setting priorities, establishing goals, identifying resources, brainstorming, creating action plans, and asking clarifying questions by providing education, models, examples, and in-the-moment skills training. Mentoring and Consulting may address overall goals, specific projects, or general conditions in the user's life or profession but do not provide directive advice, counseling, legal advice, financial advice, or therapy.  Additionally, mentoring and consulting services and advice are not intended to substitute for medical advice, a physical therapy treatment, education provided by postsecondary education institutions, or programs by accredited institutions offering professional certifications. Mentoring and Consulting services involve engaging in direct and personal conversations with the user which may include asking explicit questions and making requests. The purpose of these interactions is to assist the user in discovering their own direction. Mentoring and Consulting may offer guidance regarding business decisions but it is the user’s responsibility to make the final decision and choose the best option for themselves.

D. Educational Programs

“Educational Programs” are services designed for educational purposes only and are not intended to provide a medical diagnosis, substitute for medical advice, or teach medically necessary interventions such as physical therapy. Educational Programs may include courses, webinars, e-books, materials, and lectures which may be delivered online or face-to-face in a synchronous, asynchronous, or hybrid format. The Company does not teach the user how to become a physical therapist or how to diagnose, prescribe, treat, rehabilitate, counsel, or provide medically necessary interventions. The Company is not an accredited post-secondary education institution or an institution accredited by NCAA/ISO/IEC or other 3rd party accreditors to offer personal trainer certification. Educational Program services are by no means complete or exhaustive and these services are not intended to represent the best or only information, methods, or skills appropriate for the situations discussed. Rather, the material is intended to present an approach, view, statement, or opinion of the authors or presenters which may be helpful or of interest to you, the user.

E. Online Services

Some of our Services may be available over the internet (for instance, through Zoom.com, Doxy.me, Kajabi.com, Patreon.com, or other applications). When receiving Services over the internet, you are responsible for maintaining the safety of your environment (for instance, clearing your space of trip hazards, removing throw rugs, wearing proper footwear, holding onto a chair and/or standing near a wall if you have trouble with balance, having another person standing by). If any of the Services you will be receiving from us are considered “Physical Therapy” because the services are medically necessary, the services are subject to California Business and Profession Code Section 2290, which defines “Telehealth” as a “mode of delivering health care services and public health via information and communication technologies to facilitate the diagnosis, consultation, treatment, education, care management, and self-management of a patient's health care while the patient is at the originating site and the health care provider is at a distant site.” (See more at: https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/business-and-professions-code/bpc-sect-2290-5.html#sthash.ZI9jXh6g.dpuf) As such, you must consent to receive our physical therapy services through the internet by checking the Consent to Receive Telehealth Services box at the bottom of our physical therapy intake form. Before consenting to receive our Physical Therapy services as telehealth physical therapy, you should know that some interventions cannot be provided through telehealth means and some may result in a better outcome when provided in-person. We consider the complexity of your condition, your knowledge, skills, and abilities, and the nature and complexity of the physical therapy intervention(s) we will be providing and will let you know if you would be best served by in-person examination and/or treatment. If you will be receiving a combination of Physical Therapy and other Services, we may recommend providing some services in person and other services via the internet.

SECTION 6. DISCLAIMERS, WARRANTIES, AND LIABILITIES

A. Assumption of the Risk 

If any part of your Services includes general exercise/fitness instruction and advice, you should know that there are risks of embarking on an exercise program, such as muscle soreness or injury. Therefore, you understand that your participation in our Fitness, Wellness, Coaching, Mentoring, and Educational Programs are at your own risk. Prior to participating in our Services, you accept responsibility for obtaining any necessary medical clearance from your physician or other health care providers, especially if you have any medical problems that impair or limit your ability to exercise. You agree that you are responsible for monitoring your body's response to exercise during these Services. You also agree to sit down if you feel you need to, take breaks when you feel you need to, and perform exercises in a seated position if you are uncertain. You also agree that if you have an onset of any symptoms or pain you will stop immediately and consult your physician. We may also refer you to a medical provider of your choice or recommend a physical therapy examination separate from your Fitness, Wellness, Coaching, Mentoring, or Educational Program session if your needs go beyond general fitness, wellness, coaching, mentoring, and education.

B. Privacy and Security

You acknowledge that we cannot guarantee the privacy or security of our services when it is provided through the internet. We respect your privacy and will maintain the confidentiality of our communications with you in accordance with our Privacy Policy posted below and on the Site.

This Site, content, Services, programs, and products contain intellectual property owned by us and by third-parties that license some intellectual property to us. This Agreement is intellectual property owned by us. Other examples of intellectual property found on our Site and within our products and Services include, but are not limited to: trademarks, service marks, layout, logos, business name, course/program/module names, design, text, written copy, certain images, podcast recordings, lead magnets, workbooks, videos, audio files, and all of our paid products (collectively referred to as “Intellectual Property”). You shall not copy, publish, transmit, transfer, sell, create derivative works from, reproduce, or in any way exploit any of the Intellectual Property owned by us and the third-parties described within this Section in either whole or part without prior written consent. 

If we have materials on the Site which you can download, a revocable, non-exclusive license is granted for you to download copies of the materials for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing only. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title, and under this license you may not:

• Modify or copy the materials;
• Use the materials for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial);
• Share or transfer the materials to another person or “mirror” the materials on any other server.

This license shall automatically terminate if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by the Company at any time. Upon terminating your viewing of these materials or upon the termination of this license, you must destroy any downloaded materials in your possession whether in electronic or printed format.

If the Company has reason to believe that you have illegally misappropriated or used any of the intellectual property you were granted access to, you will be blocked from any future programs and Services and the Company will seek any and/or all extent of legal remedies and you will be required to cover all legal fees necessary to enforce these rights.

The Company retains the right to ‘Blocklist’ you from accessing all materials, courses, or other products or Services we offer in the event that you do not pay your outstanding balance for any purchases (subject to a separate agreement), dispute your payments, or if you steal any of our intellectual property. You will be removed from the blocklist under the discretion of the Company under the conditions that: (1) the outstanding balance has been paid in full and (2) that you will not be eligible for a refund.

C. Limited License

You acknowledge that any and all products, programs, or Services that you download are for your own personal use.
