PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY, AS THEY CONSTITUTE A LEGAL AND BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND NIHOWDY.
By viewing or using any Platform, creating an account, or becoming a Member, you (“you,” “your,” or User”) confirm your agreement to be bound by these Terms, including the information set forth in our privacy policy, located www.nihowdy.com/privacy (the “Privacy Policy”). Further, you expressly represent that you are legally competent to enter into this agreement and agree to be bound by these Terms. NiHowdy reserves the right to make any changes, from time to time, to these Terms of Use and/or our Privacy Policy (which is incorporated herein by reference) without prior notification to you. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. If we make changes to our Terms of Use or Privacy Policy and you continue to use our Platforms, or maintaining Membership with NiHowdy, you are impliedly agreeing to the Terms of Use expressed herein and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these outlined Terms, your only recourse is to discontinue use of all Platforms operated by NiHowdy and cancel any current Membership or refrain from obtaining Membership. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you may not use any Platform or become a Member.
If your use of any Platform or Membership is terminated for any reason, then: (a) these Terms will continue to apply and be binding upon you in respect of your prior use of the Platforms or Membership (and any unauthorized further use of the Membership), including your indemnification obligations; and (b) any rights or licenses granted to us under these Terms will survive such termination.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE REVIEW THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE SET FORTH BELOW CAREFULLY, AS IT WILL REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH NIHOWDY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. BY ENTERING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND HAVE TAKEN TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION.
2. MEMBERSHIP
By signing up for and being approved by NiHowdy to use the NiHowdy prescription discount program or prescription savings card to purchase prescriptions, you become a member of the NiHowdy prescription discount program (“Member” or “Membership”). To become a Member, you may be required to enter your physician information, prescription information, prescribing doctor information, date of birth, zip code, home address, email address, Coinbase wallet address, cryptocurrency wallet address, phone number and/or other identifying information. NiHowdy will create a form of savings card, digital or printable, that must be shown at a participating pharmacy to receive Rewards (defined below). Each time a purchase is made through a NiHowdy Membership, you may earn a specified amount of Bitcoin based upon the difference in the retail cost of the prescription and amount of the prescription discount (the “Reward”). These rewards will be added in one location identified for purposes of this Agreement as your “Rewards “Rewards Wallet”. NiHowdy does not guarantee any amount of Rewards as such Rewards are subject to adjustments. In order to claim Rewards, you will be required to pass certain third-party certification in order to claim such Rewards, including, but not limited to, a “Know Your Customer” process which may be processed and certified through the use of Third-Party Websites, including but not limited to onfido.com. Further, in order to claim Rewards, you will be required to link your cryptocurrency wallet, including, but not limited to, Coinbase wallets, through the use of Third-Party Websites, including but not limited to coinbase.com, in order to claim any Rewards. Failure to pass the Know Your Customer certification or link a cryptocurrency wallet may result in the delay or loss of Rewards or disallow you from claiming any Rewards. The minimum amount that you may withdraw from your Rewards Wallet to an external wallet that is not a Coinbase wallet is an amount equivalent to $10.00 USD in Bitcoin, calculated using Bitcoin’s current market price at the time of withdrawal request. If withdrawing from your Rewards Wallet to a Coinbase account, such withdrawal will not require the prior stated $10.00 USD minimum.
Users who obtain a NiHowdy account or Membership shall be permitted to utilize their account for the benefit of a pet or a family member if such medication being purchased is being purchased “out-of-pocket” by the Member and the purchase is made utilizing the identification number associated with the Member.
Any claiming of Rewards may be subject to delays, due to processing times or other factors. NiHowdy does not guarantee your ability to claim Rewards nor does NiHowdy guarantee that any such claim of Rewards will occur in any specified time period. NiHowdy anticipates that it will take approximately thirty (30) days for a transaction to clear, and after a transaction clears, NiHowdy anticipates that it will take approximately an additional two (2) weeks for a Member to be eligible to withdraw a Reward. However, the processing times in the preceding sentences are estimates only and any and all transactions may be subject to delays, due to processing times or other factors. Consequently, NiHowdy does not guarantee your ability to withdrawal Rewards, nor does NiHowdy guarantee that any such withdrawal of Rewards will occur in any specified timeframe.
The price you will pay for prescriptions, or other products, will be the lesser of (a) the participating pharmacy’s “usual and customary” price (e.g., the retail price); and (b) our discounted price. For purposes of clarification, this means that if the participating pharmacy’s pricing is better than NiHowdy’s discounted price, there will be no applicable discount through use of your Membership, and consequently there will be no Reward.
NiHowdy will provide an ability to search prescription drugs, but NiHowdy does not guarantee or warrant the validity of information provided as a result of such search of prescription drugs. Further, Membership will also give you access to your NiHowdy account which may contain a prescription history of prior searched an purchased prescriptions, you acknowledge that there may be some risk that the information in the communication(s) could be read by a third party.
THE NIHOWDY PRESCRIPTION DISCOUNT PROGRAM IS NOT INSURANCE. The NiHowdy prescription discount is not insurance, it is not a Medicare prescription drug plan, nor is it an insurance card, health insurance policy, substitute for health insurance, or insurance application. The range of prescription discounts and Rewards provided under this discount program will vary depending on the prescription and pharmacy where the prescription is purchased and can be up to $95 off the retail price. You are fully responsible for paying for your prescriptions at the pharmacy at the time of service/purchase, but you will be entitled to receive a discount from the pharmacy in accordance with the specific pre-negotiated discounted rate schedule.

By providing us with your contact information, you are consenting to receive the above- mentioned communications from NiHowdy, including being contacted with communications containing prescription-related information and medical information. You acknowledge that there may be some risk that the information in the communication(s) could be read by a third party. NiHowdy provides no warranty for any of the pricing data or other information provided to you via such communications. If you provide us with a third party’s contact information in connection with a messaging service, you represent that you have permission for us to contact such third party, including with certain health-related information. When you use the Membership, or send e-mails, messages, and other communications from your desktop or mobile device to us, you may be communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically. You agree that (a) all agreements and consents can be signed electronically and (b) all notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such notices and other communications be in writing.
You agree that NiHowdy may contact you by telephone or text messages (including by an automatic telephone dialing system) at any of the phone numbers provided by you or on your behalf in connection with your Membership or otherwise provided to us (such as by sending a coupon to yourself), including for marketing purposes. You agree that NiHowdy may leave a voicemail on any messaging service associated with any phone number provided by you or on your behalf in connection with your Membership, and that such voicemail may contain private information, including health and prescription related information. If you provide us with a third party’s contact information in connection with a messaging service, you represent that you have permission for us to contact such third party by telephone or text messages (including by an automatic telephone dialing system) at any of the phone numbers provided, including for marketing purposes. Should you send NiHowdy a direct SMS message through a mobile device, such message constitutes your prior express written consent to receive the messages you request to that SMS device. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You understand that you are not required to provide this consent as a condition of purchasing any property, goods or services. Consenting to text messaging isn’t required to use a NiHowdy Membership, and if you prefer not to get text messages, please use email to send yourself information instead. You further understand that you may opt out of receiving marketing text messages from NiHowdy at any time, by texting the word “STOP” to the text message using the mobile device that is receiving the messages. You can also get help directly by contacting us at the email located in “Contact Information” below.
