This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions upon which we make available the NovoCare® SMS Obesity content to you.

    Please note these Terms of Use govern only the NovoCare® SMS Obesity. These Terms of Use are not for any other service, program, or website.

    PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE AGREEING TO RECEIVE THE NOVOCARE®     SMS OBESITY.

    IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU CANNOT RECEIVE THE NOVOCARE®     SMS OBESITY.
  1. Eligibility. To participate in the NovoCare® SMS Obesity, you must be a citizen and/or resident of the United States and 18 years of age or older (or, if the patient is under 18, then a parent, guardian, or legal representative must be 18 years of age or older). Novo Nordisk reserves the right to require you to prove that you meet this eligibility criteria. THE NOVOCARE® SMS OBESITY IS NOT INTENDED FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS AND/OR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE.
  2. Modifications to Terms of Use. You agree that we may modify these Terms of Use and that such modifications shall become effective immediately upon posting of the modified Terms of Use to our website or otherwise notifying you of an update through the NovoCare® SMS Obesity. If you do not accept the modifications, you must cease using the NovoCare® SMS Obesity. The Terms of Use contain the date of posting at the top of the first page.
  3. Permission to Use NovoCare® SMS Obesity; Limitations on Use of the NovoCare® SMS Obesity. Subject to your acceptance and while you remain in compliance with the Terms of Use, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the NovoCare® SMS Obesity solely and exclusively for your own use and not for any other purpose. All other uses of the NovoCare® SMS Obesity are prohibited.
  4. Communication Options. To opt in to the NovoCare® SMS Obesity, you must opt in (either through the NovoCare® Patient Authorization Form or verbally with the NovoCare® Call Center) to participate in the NovoCare® SMS Obesity. You will then receive a text message where you will be required to text back YES to further opt in to start receiving these text messages. If you text YES, a confirmation text message will be sent to the phone number you used to text 407-707-6590. By choosing to enroll in the NovoCare® SMS Obesity, you will receive program status updates only. However, specific words will trigger an automated response as noted below. We do not guarantee that the NovoCare® SMS Obesity communications will be received and are not responsible for lost or misdirected communications.

    You can opt out of the NovoCare® SMS Obesity at any time by sending a reply text stating STOP to 407-707-6590. You will receive a confirmation text message immediately upon replying STOP and will fully opt out of the text message program at that point.

    PLEASE NOTE that opting out of the NovoCare® SMS Obesity does not unsubscribe and/or opt you out of any future communications from Novo Nordisk or its partners that you may have previously signed up for separate and apart from the NovoCare® SMS Obesity. Please follow instructions specific to those other, non-marketing communications to opt out. You may opt out of marketing communications with Novo Nordisk or its partners by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link within any email you receive from Novo Nordisk or its partners, by calling 1‑800‑727‑6500, clicking     here, or sending Novo Nordisk a letter containing your name, email address, and phone number to Novo Nordisk, 800 Scudders Mill Road, Plainsboro, New Jersey 08536.

Even within a coverage area, factors beyond the control of the wireless carrier may interfere with message delivery, including the customer's equipment, terrain, proximity to buildings, foliage, and weather. Novo Nordisk will not be held responsible for any delays in the receipt of any text messages as delivery is subject to effective transmission from your mobile service provider or network operator. You understand and acknowledge that network services, including but not limited to mobile network services, are outside of Novo Nordisk’s control. Note that there may be data or message fees imposed by your carrier or service provider if you choose to receive text messages from the NovoCare® SMS Obesity.
