I understand that my ePHI is encrypted as it travels from Amber Specialty Pharmacy to my mobile device or computer. However, I understand that once my ePHI is downloaded onto my mobile device or computer, I am solely responsible for keeping such information confidential. I understand and acknowledge that there is a risk that my mobile device or computer may be stolen or accessed by an unauthorized source, and that, consequently, any ePHI that I downloaded onto my mobile device or computer may be accessed by said unauthorized source. I accept full responsibility for protecting the security of my mobile device or computer from theft or other unauthorized access.

PILL REMINDER FUNCTION
By using the pill reminder function of the Amber Specialty Pharmacy smartphone application (app), the user agrees to the following:
The pill reminder function is intended only as a tool to remind a patient when to take their medications. Effective operation of the pill reminder function is exclusively dependent on inputted drug information as provided by the patient and/or authorized caregiver. In addition, the pill reminder function, at times, may not work properly due to malfunctions of network or phone lines, mobile devices, computer equipment or systems, servers, software, email providers, internet traffic or bandwidth, and other situations that occur outside the reasonable purview of Amber Specialty Pharmacy’s responsibility. We are not responsible for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, any pill reminder function caused by a third party or any user
The pill reminder function is intended to be utilized only as one component of any medication adherence approach as designated by the patient and/or patient medical provider and/or caregivers. The patient should not rely solely on this function for taking medications properly.
The pill reminder function is not a substitute for the advice provided by a physician or other medical professional. FURTHERMORE, THE AMBER SPECIALTY PHARMACY APP DOES NOT OFFER MEDICAL ADVICE AND NOTHING CONTAINED THEREIN SHOULD BE CONSTRUED AS PROFESSIONAL ADVICE FOR MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS OR TREATMENT. The patient should not use the pill reminder function to determine which medications to take or to diagnose or treat any health problem. Use of the pill reminder function or any other part of the Amber Specialty Pharmacy App does not replace medical consultations with qualified health or medical professionals.
Ultimately, it is the patient’s responsibility to take medications as prescribed. Amber Specialty Pharmacy is not liable for any injury that may occur as a result of the use of the pill reminder function.
