GENERAL NOTICE and CONDITIONS OF USE
Springtime
Counseling Center (SCC), through MyDuiGuy.com, is happy to provide alcohol/drug
evaluation services for those who desire a more convenient and private
evaluation session from their home or office, subject to the terms of
this Agreement. SCC may modify this Agreement at any time via publication
over our website. You, hereafter referred to as the "Client",
agree to use the services of SCC and MyDuiGuy.com in accordance with the
terms and conditions outlined below. The term "SCC" refers to
the corporate entity, Springtime Counseling Center, as well as its directors,
officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns.
Depending on the option for services that Client selects, it is important to note that receiving an evaluation over the internet can influence the communication between you and the counselor. Omitting information on your computer,
the telephone, or videophone can result in an inaccurate evaluation of
your situation. Therefore, you, the Client, play a very important role in
making these evaluations accurate and beneficial.
It
must be further understood that counselors in association with MyDuiGuy.com
and SCC are alone responsible for their actions. SCC takes steps in selecting
Associate Counselors to be certain that the counselors are well qualified
and are licensed or certified to do evaluations in their respective state(s)
or country, however, they are not an employee or agent of MyDuiGuy.com
or Springtime Counseling Center and MyDuiGuy.com and SCC assume no responsibility
for any act or omission of the counselor either prior to or after Client
has agreed to complete an evaluation. Clients of MyDuiGuy.com services
understand and agree that although the counselor was randomly assigned
through the MyDuiGuy.com service, MyDuiGuy.com and SCC cannot predict
the counselor's performance or personal actions and only the Client can
judge the counselor's compatibility with their needs. Client also understands
that he/she takes full responsibility for the decision to engage the counselor
through the MyDuiGuy.com service.
Issues
regarding any of the Associate Counselors with MyDuiGuy.com should be
brought to the attention of SCC which will cooperate in coordinating your
comments or complaints with the counselor in question as well as that
counselor's state licensing and regulatory board, if needed. Should Client
have a grievance, he/she should immediately bring it to the attention
of their counselor. Client should be specific, noting the date, time, what
was involved, and the basic circumstances of the grievance. If not resolved,
the Client should commit the grievance to writing and mail this postage
prepaid to Larry H. Turner, director of MyDuiGuy.com and Springtime Counseling
Center, 6515 E. 82nd Street, Suite 102, Indianapolis, Indiana 46250 USA. Springtime
Counseling Center will respond in writing with ten (10) business days and a final
resolution will be made. Further appeal of the grievance may be submitted to the director
Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction, 402 W. Washington Street, Room W353,
Indianapolis, Indiana 46204-2739 USA.
CONFIDENTIALITY
OF RECORDS
Although SCC/MyDuiGuy.com does not receive any federal funding, we nevertheless adhere
to the federal confidentiality guidelines under 42 USC § 290dd-2. Under these
regulations, as well as the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act
(HIPAA 45 CFR), the records of alcohol and drug abuse patients are protected by
42 CFR Part 2 in addition to state statutes regarding the protection of health
information records. Federal confidentiality regulations (42 CFR Part 2)
prohibit redisclosure of information from alcohol and drug abuse patient records.
However, HIPAA 45 CRF requires Springtime Counseling Center/MyDuiGuy.com to
notify you of the potential that information disclosed (to courts, probation
officers, attorneys, etc.) pursuant to your use of the Springtime Counseling
Center/MyDuiGuy.com services, and at your direction, may be redisclosed by
the recipient and is no longer protected by the HIPAA rules. There are important
notices and exceptions to these confidentiality rules that are followed by most
healthcare services in the USA and other countries:
| 1. |
We
are mandated to report the abuse of children and vulnerable adults
to local law enforcement or social service agencies. |
| 2. |
In
cases of danger or threat to life, we will make every effort to get
that person help by reporting the incident the appropriate law enforcement
or rescue agencies. This includes threats of suicide and threats to harm others. |

Although
it rarely happens, SCC/MyDuiGuy.com must comply with a Court Order
for health records as well as the individual counselor's records.
It is always prudent to contact an attorney prior to disclosing private
information. |
| 4. |
All
SCC and MyDuiGuy.com evaluations are subject to internal staff review
in order to maintain quality assurance. No patient names or identifying
characteristics are used in these staff meetings. |

SCC/MyDuiGuy.com maintains all health information records in password-protected computers and/or secure peripheral equipment.
REFUNDS
All refunds must be requested within 30 days of your initial payment date, whether
