We do not provide professional medical services or advice.

No Doctor-Patient Relationship. Any and all services provided by, in and/or through the Services are for informational purposes only. Simba Health is not a medical professional, and Simba Health does not provide medical services or render medical advice. Nothing contained in the Services should be construed as such advice or diagnosis.

Your use of the Services does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and any of the Simba Health parties (including, without limitation, coaches) or any of Simba Health service users.

You are urged and advised to seek the advice of a doctor or a medical professional with any questions you may have regarding your health before beginning any weight loss effort regimen, physical activities, or any other plans that may be referenced, discussed or offered under the Services. If you are being treated for an illness, taking prescription medication or following a therapeutic diet to treat a disease, it is especially urged to consult with your doctor before using the Services. You represent to us (which representation shall be deemed to be made each time you use the Services), that you are not using the Services or participating in any of the activities offered by the Services for purpose of seeking medical attention.

Virtual Coaching Service Disclaimer. Through our Services, you may have access to personal coaching services (“Virtual Coaching Service”).

Simba Health may, in its sole discretion, engage or replace any Coach with another without notice to the Virtual Coaching Service users.

The services provided by our Virtual Coaching Service are not medical, mental health or any other type of health service. Virtual Coaching Service is not psychotherapy or mental health counselling. No diagnosis or treatment of, or advice regarding, any medical or mental health condition or illness will be offered. The Virtual Coaching Service cannot substitute for, and is not an alternative to, medical, psychiatric, psychological, psychotherapy or other healthcare diagnosis and treatment when a medical or mental health condition or illness is present. You are advised to seek diagnosis, treatment and advice regarding medical or mental conditions or illnesses from doctors practicing medicine, psychotherapists, psychologists and other licensed healthcare and mental health professionals.

Interactions with Coach(es) are designed to provide individuals with education, information and personal support regarding your health-related issues and goals. Your Coach may provide general information about psychological and emotional issues related to health conditions, medical treatments, success stories, and health-related goals in order to help you adhere to a specific regimen prescribed by your doctor. However, Coaches are not allowed to use the Virtual Coaching Service to engage in rendering any type of psychological or healthcare advice for any individual or for his or her particular situation. Under no circumstances will any of your interactions with any Coach or any other User of the Services be deemed or construed to create a doctor-patient relationship or a fiduciary duty of any kind whatsoever. If Simba Health becomes aware of or suspects any medical or mental conditions or illness, Simba Health may, at its sole discretion, terminate all or any portion of the Services.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with Coach(es) and/or other members when using the Services.
