We may change this Agreement at any time by providing you with an email or text message notifying you of the change and its effective date, and providing a link to the changed Agreement.

THIS AGREEMENT IS LEGALLY BINDING; PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.  THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE, IN WHICH YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTES WILL BE DECIDED BY AN ARBITRATOR WITHOUT A COURT OR JURY TRIAL.  If you do not agree with this Agreement, you are prohibited from using the Service.

WHILE YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE TERMS, PLEASE NOTE IN PARTICULAR:

  • You must keep your phone private and secure in order to protect the personal healthcare information that will be sent to you through the App.
  • Text messages and emails are not encrypted and so may not be secure and may be read in plain text if intercepted by a third party.  If you agree to receive text messages or emails, you accept the security and privacy risks involved.  If you do not agree to receive text messages or emails, you must notify mscripts and disable text and email reminders in the Service.  If you do so, then you will receive refill reminders and other reminders only as push notifications within the App.
  • You must not use the Service if you are under 18.

    We reserve the right to keep records of your use of the Service.

  6. Your Security Obligations

    By using the Service you are making your personal information, in the form of your prescription history and activity, viewable on your mobile phone. In order to protect your privacy, you must comply with the following obligations:

    • You must keep your mobile phone and the information on it secure, including by password protecting your phone.
    • As a matter of convenience we do allow you to store your App username and password on your phone, but for your own security we suggest you do not enable this feature.
    • As a matter of convenience we do allow you to store your App username and password on your phone, but for your own security we suggest you do not enable this feature.
    • Do not share your username or password to the Service with others.  You are responsible for all use of the Service through your account.
    • If you change your cellphone number you must tell us your new number, either through the Application hosted at https://intermountain.medrefill.org/imweb/#/home or by contacting mscripts at (866) 968-9523 or intermountain@mscripts.com.
    • Please be aware that if your cellphone number is reassigned to a new phone customer, and you have not notified mscripts, messages intended for you may be sent to and seen by someone else. In this case, we are not responsible for messages, and the content of these messages, being shared with someone else.
    • Do not use the Service with a device that is shared with others, as your personal information could be shared with those individuals through the shared device.
    • When you consent to receive email, push and/or SMS (text) message reminders, refill notifications, and other healthcare messages, you are choosing to send and receive personal information on your mobile device via an unsecure channel and you accept the security and privacy risks involved.  Unencrypted messages may be read in plain text by a third party who intercepts them.  For this reason, we mask your prescription number by hiding the first four digits of the number.  You may change your user settings to allow yourself to receive reminders and notifications with the name of your prescription displayed in plain text. This is your personal choice, and we encourage you to protect this information carefully and to be aware that others may be able to see your prescriptions on your phone.
  7. Minors

    We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. The Service is not directed at, and does not solicit or accept information from, users under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, you are not permitted to register as a User, submit personal information to mscripts, or use the Service.

  8. Proxy Care for Minors and Linking Accounts

    Users of the Service are able to add family member accounts, such as accounts for the prescriptions of the User’s children, and to remove family member accounts, through a single log in.The family member signup process is identical to that of any new User.If the primary User wishes to manage accounts that have already been created, the primary User may add those Users to their account.

    A parent or guardian User may use the Service to manage prescriptions for a minor until that minor turns 18.  The account for a minor is referred to as a “Proxy Account”.  When a parent or guardian User registers a minor aged 12 to 17 for a Proxy Account, the Service will notify the parent or guardian User that the minor may have the right, under applicable state law, to consent, and asks the parent or guardian User to obtain consent before registering a Proxy Account for the minor. The parent or guardian User must check a box to confirm that he or she obtained such consent from the minor. If a minor would prefer that his or her Proxy Account be treated as private, and the minor’s request is consistent with the laws of the state in which that pharmacy is located, the minor may request that access to his or her Proxy Account, or to a particular prescription associated with his or her account, be restricted as private. In such a case, the minor may do so by emailing support@mscripts.com or by calling (866) 968-9523.

    As a proxy, the parent or guardian assumes full responsibility for ensuring that the registration information is kept secure and that the information submitted is accurate. When the minor turns 18, we are required to remove them from the Service. At that time, the user can re-register with the Service independently.

    To link one or more family accounts to yours, you will need to request access to his or her prescriptions through our secure process. This includes verification of your family member's email address and information from one of his or her prescriptions. You will walk through three easy steps to help verify your identity and then email a request for permission to your family member.

    As a proxy, the parent or guardian accepts the terms and conditions of this Agreement on behalf of the minor, as the minor’s proxy for the use of the Service, and the understanding and agreement that the parent’s or guardian’s relationship with us for the minor’s managed account is governed by these same terms and conditions as the parent’s or guardian’s own account.

  9. Special Terms for Location-Based Services

    Location-based services are made possible through technology integrated into many mobile devices.  Functions of the Service that provide services based on your current location will not function as intended if location-based services are disabled on your device or not available for any other reason.

    By using location-based features of the Service and enabling location-based services, you consent to the transmission of information regarding your current location and the use of that information for the purposes of the Service and waive any privacy-based objection to using your location.

    Even when location-based services are enabled on your mobile device, your device may inaccurately identify your location or make other errors.  You use maps and location-based services at your own risk. You realize that you will need to use your own judgment in relying on the information on your mobile device.

  10. Your Comments and Ideas Concerning the Service

    In the event that you submit ideas or suggestions for the Service to mscripts (“Service Comments”), the Service Comments will be deemed, and will remain, the sole property of mscripts.
