Healthrageous LLC (“Healthrageous”) owns and operates websites, online and SMS texting platforms, and other services that link to this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use (collectively, the “Services”). Healthrageous is referred to as “We,” “Us,” or “Our.” The words “You”, “Your”, “Me” refers to any visitor or user of the Services.

By submitting an enrollment form, clicking on a “Complete order” button, or accessing or using the Services, you consent and agree to:

  • Receive email messages, standard text messages, and secure chat messages related to your health condition and Services offered to you. You agree to receive  email and standard texts to your device, and messages which are encrypted and sent via secure chat, accessible by you from a password-protected website.  We will not send in standard text messages your “protected health information” (PHI) as defined by the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and their implementing regulations as amended from time to time (collectively, “HIPPA”), but secure chat messages may contain PHI.  You acknowledge that standard texts are not encrypted and not considered a secure technology, and that any unencrypted email or standard text messages that you receive may indicate personal information and possibly the nature of your condition and may be intercepted or viewed by other people who have access to your mobile device.
  • You are responsible for letting us know if your mobile device, phone number, email, or contact information changes. Failure to update us about a change to your mobile device, number, or email could result in personal information being viewed by an unintended third party, for which we will not be liable. You also are responsible for securing and safeguarding your self-generated personal identification number (PIN) and security question responses through which you set up access to secure chat messages, and you agree that you will not share or allow anyone else to know or use your access credentials, and to notify us immediately if you believe that your credentials may have been compromised. Failure to do so may result in exposure of your PHI.
  • We are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message and data rates may apply, for which you are responsible. You may text “STOP” to cancel messaging  and “HELP” for assistance. Text messages will be sent to your mobile number using an automatic dialing system. Text messaging may not be available via all carriers.
  • Certain situations outside of our control may impact your ability to receive text, email, or chat messages from us in a timely manner or fail to reach you at all. These situations include but are not limited to mobile signal issues; carrier and Internet transmission issues; or interference from terrain, buildings, or other impediment. We are not liable for any losses arising from a message that is delayed or not delivered to you.

You also agree to follow these meal ordering and cancellation terms:  

  • Order Deadlines – Place meal orders in advance. Orders placed before 8pm Local Time on business days will be processed and shipped the next business day. Orders received after 8pm Local Time, on the weekends, or on holidays, will be processed and shipped the 2nd business day.  Orders will arrive within 1-3 business days of shipping. Deliveries will not be made on Saturdays, Sundays, or federally recognized holidays. Order deadlines are subject to change based on the distribution center used by Healthrageous.
  • Order Changes – Submit changes to weekly meal orders or recurring meal orders in Healthrageous shop by the Order Deadline. If your cancellation request is submitted after the Order Deadline, your recurring meal order will be shipped, and the cancellation will not take effect until the following order cycle.
  • Order Substitutes – Accept that sometimes substitute meals for your selected meals may be provided.  Sometimes your selected meals may not be available or other circumstances require us to substitute items in your order.
  • Retail or “Self Pay” Purchases – Agree to pay for retail, or “self-pay” meals not covered by your Medicare Advantage policy, by credit card, debit card, or EBT.  If you make changes to your order after the order deadline, the change will take effect in the following billing cycle. If you pay by credit card, you will be bound to the terms of the agreement with the credit card issuer. If the credit card or debit card information provided by you is invalid, or the charge or debit is otherwise declined for any reason, the order will be canceled.
  • Delivery Information – Provide a physical, residential address to receive your meal orders, and keep your delivery address and contact information current. Orders are not shipped to PO boxes or commercial addresses.
  • Refund Policy – Refunds will be made at the discretion of Healthrageous and will be in the form of a replacement or additional shipment.  Monetary refunds are not made for meals placed through a health plan benefit nor for retail purchase.  Submissions for refunds due to shipment issues will not be honored by Healthrageous and must be addressed through the shipping carrier.

All actions made under your account are your responsibility and by placing an order through Healthrageous, you agree to be personally liable for any additional charges placed through your account.

Sales tax may be applied to your order based on your local and state laws.

Information Collected Via Technology

As you use Services and our website, certain message delivery information may be passively collected and stored on our s or our service providers’ server logs, including your Internet protocol address, browser type and operating system. We also use Cookies and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (“URLs”) to gather information regarding the date and time of your web page visit and the information viewed. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the site. An Internet protocol (or IP) address is a number that is automatically assigned to a participant computer when they use the Internet. In some cases, an IP Address may stay the same from browser session to browser session; but if participants use a consumer internet service provider (ISP), your IP Address will likely vary from session to session. The Services may use both session Cookies (which expire once the web browser closes) and persistent Cookies (which remain on the computer until deleted) to provide a more personal and interactive experience. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following the Internet browser’s help file directions. Participants may manage cookie preferences via browser settings (see http://www.aboutcookies.org  for more information)

This Privacy Policy does not protect you when you send business information, ideas, concepts, or inventions to us by email to the contacts listed on the “Contact Us” link on our website.
