Use in Healthcare Settings

Use in Healthcare Settings by Customers and Enterprise Customers

If You are an individual Customer  or Enterprise Customer and You intend to use this Platform in a healthcare, clinical or medical setting, You must select either the “Healthcare” or “Medical Appointment” option under the Platform’s “Scenario” menu (if available for your selected language combination). We recognize the need that Our Customers have for immediate assistance in a healthcare, clinical or medical setting, and We want to do whatever We can to support Our Customers in times of urgency. We will attempt to connect You with the most qualified available Interpreter who meets the highest level of industry standards, HIPAA and/or other compliance requirements. In the event that demand is high for a specific language pair, and We cannot guarantee an Interpreter who has the necessary domain experience, HIPAA training, and state or national license or certification, We may provide you with the option to connect with an Interpreter who does not have the same level of qualifications. This option will be accompanied by one or more disclaimers similar to the following:

Disclaimer: Your Jeenie Interpreter may not be licensed or certified in Your specific local jurisdiction as may be required under applicable law. By tapping Continue in the Platform, You accept this disclaimer, desire to receive services from your Jeenie Interpreter, and agree to proceed with the call.

Disclaimer: Your Jeenie Interpreter may not be fully compliant with all HIPAA requirements, as may be required by applicable law. By tapping Continue, you acknowledge this disclaimer, agree to these terms, and accept to receive services from your Jeenie Interpreter under these circumstances.”

By choosing to continue from such a disclaimer or similar, You agree to these terms and agree to hold Us and the Interpreter harmless against all claims. If You do not wish to proceed, select Cancel, and You will return to the home screen without charge or penalty, where You can elect to make another call.

Use in Healthcare Settings by Healthcare Enterprise Customers

If You are a Healthcare Enterprise Customer and are using this Platform in a healthcare, clinical or medical setting, in addition to the above terms, You agree to abide by all terms contained in any user agreement or subscription agreement You have signed with Us. In addition, You agree to abide by all terms contained in any Business Associate Agreement (BAA) you have signed with Us.

For more information about using this Platform in a healthcare, clinical or medical setting, please contact Healthcare@Jeenie.com.

Use And Processing Of Information

We collect personal data directly from individuals, from third parties, and automatically through the use of Our Services and may combine the information We collect from these various sources. We do NOT collect, process, store, record, monitor or otherwise use Protected Health Information (PHI) of any kind. For more information about the information we collect and use, please review Our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) which explains everything.

Neutral Venue

The Platform is not a Linguist, Interpreter or a Machine Translation tool and does not provide assistance with language, interpretation or culture-oriented advice (the “Linguist Services”). Our Platform enables Customers and Linguists to connect, interact,  and arrange for the provision of such Linguist Services. While We may recommend certain Linguists based on the Linguist Services requested, We do not endorse any specific Linguist or Interpreter, nor do We have any control or influence over actions or decisions made by users of the Platform. You acknowledge and agree that any and all communications, correspondence, verbal or written or by electronic means, or any warranties or representations, made with regard to the Linguist Services are not provided by Us and are specifically and solely between the Customer and the Linguist. 

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE LINGUISTS OR THE OTHER USERS AND YOU HEREBY RELEASE US FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO SUCH ACTS OR OMISSIONS OR RELATING TO THE LINGUIST SERVICES.

Linguists / Interpreters

If You are a Linguist or Interpreter, or seek to register as an Interpreter, You must be at least 18 years of age and provide the required information in Our application process. All Interpreters who apply to provide services via the Jeenie Platform must be approved by Jeenie before providing Linguist Services on Our Platform. Once your application has been processed, We will present to You Our Platform Service Agreement to review. Upon accepting the terms in Our Platform Service Agreement, You agree to complete and abide by the terms of the Platform Service Agreement. For Your reference, please also carefully review the Linguist FAQs which provide additional information regarding Your provision of Linguist Services.

If You are an Interpreter seeking to provide Services for Customers or Healthcare Enterprise Customers in a healthcare, clinical or medical setting, You must first meet Our stringent qualifications before being able to provide those Services in the Platform. For more information about qualifications to become a healthcare Interpreter, see Our website or create an Interpreter profile with Jeenie. In addition to Our Platform Service Agreement, you must also accept and abide by the terms of Our Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and HIPAA Guidelines.

You also agree to pay any damages that We may end up having to pay as a result of Your violation. You alone are responsible for any violation of these Terms by You. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by You and, in such case, You agree to cooperate with Our defense of such claim.

Disclaimer Of Warranties

THIS PLATFORM AND THE INTERPRETER SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” AND THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THIS PLATFORM IS WITH YOU.

WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND (EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY) WITH RESPECT TO THIS PLATFORM AND THE LINGUIST SERVICES, WHICH INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by You through this Platform or from Us or Our subsidiaries/other affiliated companies shall create any warranty. We disclaim all equitable indemnities.

Limitation And Exclusion Of Liability

WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM YOUR DISPLAYING, COPYING, OR DOWNLOADING ANY CONTENT TO OR FROM THIS PLATFORM OR FROM YOUR USE OR PROVISION OF THE INTERPRETER SERVICES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, EXTRAORDINARY, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, PROFITS, USE OR OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE) HOWEVER ARISING, EVEN IF WE KNOW THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW (AND UNLESS WE HAVE ENTERED INTO A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT THAT OVERRIDES THESE TERMS), WE AND OUR AFFILIATES (AND THOSE THAT WE WORK WITH TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR OTHERS FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, OPPORTUNITIES, REPUTATION, PROFITS OR REVENUES, RELATED TO THE SERVICES (E.G.

SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY, SO THESE LIMITS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Local Laws; Export Control

We control and operate this Platform from Our headquarters in the United States of America and the entirety of this Platform may not be appropriate or available for use in other locations. If You use this Platform outside the United States of America, You are solely responsible for following applicable local laws.

Feedback

Any submissions by You to Us (e.g., comments, questions, suggestions, Content – collectively, “Feedback”) through any communication whatsoever (e.g., call, fax, email) will be treated as both non-confidential and non-proprietary. Except as prohibited by applicable law, you hereby assign all right, title, and interest in, and We are free to use, without any attribution or compensation to You, any ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques, or other intellectual property and proprietary rights contained in the Feedback, whether or not patentable, for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, having manufactured, licensing, marketing, and selling, directly or indirectly, products and services using such Feedback. Where the foregoing assignment is prohibited by law, you hereby grant Us an exclusive, transferable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up license (including the right to sublicense) to use and exploit all Feedback as We may determine in our sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you understand and agree that We are not obligated to use, display, reproduce, or distribute any such ideas, know-how, concepts, or techniques contained in the Feedback, and You have no right to compel such use, display, reproduction, or distribution.

Dispute Resolution And Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Please Read This Provision Carefully. It Affects Your Legal Rights.

This Provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort – including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence – or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below) that may arise between You and Us. Effectively, then, “dispute” is given the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to You (such as Our licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever You also assert claims against Us in the same proceeding.

This Provision provides that all disputes between You and Us shall be resolved by binding arbitration because acceptance of These Terms constitutes a waiver of Your right to litigation claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. We prefer this because We believe arbitration is less drama-filled than litigation. To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow these Terms and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees). You may, however, opt out of this Provision, which means You would have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). EVERYONE AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution

For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, You must first give Us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute which is first done by emailing to Us at Legal@Jeenie.com the following information: (1) Your name; (2) Your address; (3) A written description of Your Claim; and (4) A description of the specific relief You seek. If We do not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after receiving Your notification, then You may pursue Your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue Your dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.

Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out

Notwithstanding the above, You or We may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) The dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THESE TERMS (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt out of this Provision by emailing Us at Legal@Jeenie.com the following information: (1) Your name; (2) Your address; (3) A clear statement that You do not wish to resolve disputes with Us through arbitration. Either way, We will not take any decision You make personally. In fact, We promise that Your decision to opt out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on Your relationship with Us. But,We do have to enforce the Opt-Out Deadline so keep in mind that any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and You must pursue Your dispute in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures

If this Provision applies and the dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either You or We may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration only and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration or a consolidated or representative action or arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.

For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action or representative procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

Because this Platform and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.

Arbitration Award. The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party or if required by applicable law. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA or other applicable law and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration. You or We may initiate arbitration in either Washington, D.C. or the federal judicial district that includes Your billing address.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. You will be responsible for all arbitration fees and costs that You incur in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if You provide notice and negotiate in good faith with Us as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that You are the prevailing party in the arbitration, You will be entitled to recover reasonable arbitration and attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator concludes that We are the prevailing party in the arbitration, We reserve the right to seek to recover any reasonable arbitration and attorney’s fees.

Class Action Waiver

Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, representative action, or private attorney general action) unless both You and We specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of the arbitration. If You choose to pursue Your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to You. Neither You, nor any other user of this Platform can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.

Jury Waiver

You understand and agree that by accepting this Provision in these Terms, You and We are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, You and We might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that You would have if You went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.

Severability

If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision whose remainder will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable, and the dispute will be decided by a court.

Continuation

This Provision shall survive the termination of Your account with Us or Our affiliates and Your discontinued use of this Platform. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, We agree that if We make any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), You may reject any such change and require Us to adhere to the present language in this Provision if a dispute between Us arises.

These Terms are the entire agreement between You and Us and, therefore, supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements between Everyone about this Platform. The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by You, indemnities, limitations of liability and general provisions shall survive any termination of these Terms.
