You waive any provisions of any state, province, or country law that limit or prohibit a general release, including, if applicable, Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

When you complete the signature process in the Applications, you are actually signing three documents. First, you are signing your Vimty, our proprietary advance care plan that combines the elements of a living will, a medical power of attorney, and wishes regarding attempts at resuscitation, organ donation and autopsy.

Second, you are signing an authorization form required by the United States Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (commonly known as “HIPAA”), and by similar laws outside the United States of America like the United Kingdom’s Data Protection Act 1998, so that we can share your uADD with doctors and hospitals in the event of an emergency.

VIMTY'S sole responsibility is to store and furnish your advance care plan and other information stored in the Applications in accordance with these Terms. ADVault has no implied duties or obligations and will not be charged with knowledge or notice of any information not specifically submitted by you using the Applications. ADVault may rely on any instrument - not only as to its due execution, validity, and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained in the instrument - that ADVault in good faith believes to be genuine, and to have been signed or presented by the person claiming to have signed it.
When you complete the signature process in the Applications, you are actually signing three documents. First, you are signing your Vimty, our proprietary advance care plan that combines the elements of a living will, a medical power of attorney, and wishes regarding attempts at resuscitation, organ donation and autopsy. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLYING WITH THE LAWS OF YOUR PARTICULAR STATE, PROVINCE, TERRITORY, CANTON OR COUNTRY WITH RESPECT TO WITNESS AND NOTARY SIGNATURES ON YOUR UADD. Second, you are signing an authorization form required by the United States Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (commonly known as “HIPAA”), and by similar laws outside the United States of America like the United Kingdom’s Data Protection Act 1998, so that we can share your uADD with doctors and hospitals in the event of an emergency. Finally, you are signing an acknowledgement that you have read and understand this document containing notices and information on healthcare agents and advance directives.
