1. Legal Agreement

This Terms of Use (“T&C”) is a legal agreement between you and MEDIST Inc., which owns and/or operates: (1) the websites located at https://medist.ca (the “Website “); (2) our mobile phone applications (the “Apps“); and (3) our Virtual Care Platforms, including through the Apps, providing various services from time to time, as described on the Websites, and (4) all other services provided by us, as described on the Websites (collectively, the “Platforms“).

This T&C forms a legally binding agreement between us and you. The term “you” refers to the person or entity visiting the Platforms, browsing or otherwise using the Platforms, or receiving any services through the Platforms. This T&C sets out circumstances in which you may use the Platforms on behalf of another individual, for example, a child or other individual for whom you have legal authority, in which case references to “you” and “your” include the child or other individual for whom you have the legal authority.

IMPORTANT! BY ACCESSING AND USING THE PLATFORMS, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY AND COMPLY WITH THIS T&C. ACCESSING THE APPS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF YOUR SIGNATURE AND INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS T&C AND THAT YOU INTEND TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THEM. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS T&C, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORMS.

DO NOT USE THE PLATFORMS FOR MEDICAL EMERGENCIES. If you have a medical emergency, call 911 immediately or attend the emergency room of the nearest hospital or health center. Under no circumstances should you attempt self-treatment based on any content of the Platforms.

THE PLATFORMS ARE NOT SUBSTITUTES FOR THE ADVICE AND MEDICAL CARE BY YOUR PRIMARY DOCTOR OR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER.

This T&C sets out the terms and conditions under which you may access and use the Platforms. We may amend, modify and revise this T&C at any time without notice. Use of the Platforms after such changes are posted will indicate your acceptance of the revised T&C.

1. Health Services and Support Services

The use of the Platforms, as permitted by us and these T&C, enables you to obtain on-demand access to health care professionals (“HCPs”) and personal health assistants (“PHAs”) by secure text and video for telemedicine and telehealth consultations, and to receive general information about diseases and conditions and how they are treated and administrative support services via telemedicine and telehealth (“Health Services” and “Support Services”, respectively).

An HCP may provide an assessment, offer a diagnosis, order tests and prescribe treatment, including prescriptions, as appropriate. Health Services through the Platforms are not a substitute for having your family doctor or primary care provider provide care to you, or for in-person health care interactions.

ALL HCPs ARE INDEPENDENT, REGULATED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, REGISTERED TO PROVIDE HEALTH SERVICES IN A PROVINCE OR TERRITORY IN CANADA, AND ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROVISION OF HEALTH SERVICES TO YOU by APPLICABLE PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS AND LEGISLATION. HCPs may be located in the Province or Territory in which you reside, or another Province or Territory in Canada, as permitted by their regulatory authority. For more information about any particular HCP, you may review their governing body’s website and consult their profile on the register.

ALL PHAs ARE INDEPENDENT PRACTITIONERS AND PROVIDE SUPPORT SERVICES THAT DO NOT FALL WITHIN THE SCOPE OF PRACTICE OF ANY REGULATED HEALTH PROFESSION. PHAs ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROVISION OF SUPPORT SERVICES TO YOU.

WE ARE NOT A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER AND ARE NOT ENGAGED IN THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE OR ANY OTHER REGULATED HEALTH PROFESSION. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY HCPs OR SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY PHAs. NONE OF THE CONTENT ON THE PLATFORMS IS MEDICAL ADVICE OR AN ENDORSEMENT, REPRESENTATION, OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE SAFETY, APPROPRIATENESS OR EFFECTIVENESS OF ANY PARTICULAR TREATMENT, MEDICATION OR SERVICE FOR YOU.

The sharing of your PI and PHI on the Platform does not establish a doctor-patient relationship between you and Owner and is not intended as a solicitation of individuals to become the Owner’s patients or clients. Your HCP or PHA is using the Platform under the license from the Owner and for its own use and purposes. As such, your HCP or PHA is ultimately responsible for all communications with you conducted through the Platform in accordance with any arrangement between you and your HCP or PHA.

1. Access and Use of the Platforms

The Platforms enable HCPs and PHAs to receive personal health information (“PHI”) and personal information (“PI”) about you through the Platforms and to provide Health Services or Support Services to you. Your use of the Platforms neither establishes nor governs your relationship with the HCP or PHA. The Health Services or Support Services provided to you by the HCP or PHA form a bilateral contractual relationship between you and the HCP or PHA and we are not a party to this agreement.

To use the Platforms, you must be 18 years of age or older.

AS A CONDITION OF YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORMS, YOU WARRANT THAT: (1) YOU HAVE REACHED THE AGE OF MAJORITY IN YOUR JURISDICTION OF RESIDENCE; (2) YOU POSSESS THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO CREATE A BINDING LEGAL OBLIGATION; (3) YOU WILL USE THE PLATFORMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS OF USE; (4) ALL INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY YOU ON THE PLATFORM IS TRUE, ACCURATE, CURRENT AND COMPLETE; AND (5) IF YOU ARE ACCESSING OR USING THE PLATFORM ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON OR A CORPORATE ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH PERSON OR ENTITY TO THESE TERMS OF USE.

We retain the right, at our sole discretion, to deny access to anyone to the Platforms or the Health Services or Support Services, at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, for violation of these T&C. You will cease and desist from any such access or use immediately upon our request.

You agree to refrain from abusive language or inappropriate conduct when communicating with anyone through the Platforms, including HCPs and PHAs, and that you will conduct yourself at all times in a respectful manner. You agree that you will not contact HCPs and PHAs in respect of Health Services or Support Services except through the Platforms.

In addition to the Health Services and Support Services, the Platforms enable you to upload and store your PHI, including PHI created or compiled in the course of providing Health Services, to share your PHI with HCPs and PHAs; and to receive and store prescriptions and sick notes or other documents, from HCPs and PHAs electronically. The Platforms offer optional services that we can perform on your behalf, and at your direction, such as the secure transfer of a summary report about your Health Services to a physician of your choice or secure transfer of your prescription to your chosen pharmacy or prescription delivery service.

1. Limitations on Health Services and Support Services

Telemedicine or telehealth refers to the use of information and communication technologies to provide health care or other services at a distance, where the patient and physician/health care provider are not in the same location. HCPs and PHAs may ask you questions about your personal health history, present condition or symptoms, and any course of treatment or medication that has been prescribed to you. HCPs may also conduct a visual examination of you in the course of providing Health Services and may ask you to conduct certain self-assessments such as taking your temperature or blood pressure. The relationship between you and the HCP providing Health Services is an HCP-patient relationship. PHAs do not provide any Health Services and only provide Support Services that are informational in nature.

Neither the Health Services provided by HCPs nor the Support Services provided by PHAs are intended to replace your primary care relationship with your family doctor or other primary care health professional. You should continue to consult your family doctor or other primary care health professional regularly or as needed or recommended by them.

HCPs may refer you to other consultants or specialists for in-person consultations and can report to you on the results of those consultations. HCPs may also prescribe medication to you and can direct prescriptions to the pharmacy or other dispensing location of your choosing. HCPs and PHAs may also be available to you to follow up on the results of any treatment, including any reactions to medication, side effects, or other adverse events. HCPs may send reports regarding the care provided to you to your family physician or other primary care health professional after consultations with you.

The HCP is responsible for obtaining your informed consent to treatment. You are encouraged to ask questions of the HCP regarding any course of treatment or medication that is prescribed or recommended to you. If you are not satisfied with the explanation or information provided by the HCP, you should seek a second opinion from another physician. You have the right to refuse or withdraw consent to treatment at any time.

Since telemedicine is regulated at the provincial/territorial level, the type of Health Services that are available to you through the Platforms may differ depending on your province of residence and the location at the time you request Health Services.

There are restrictions on the types of Health Services that can be provided through the Platforms. Certain types of conditions are excluded or require in-person consultations. HCPs are not permitted to prescribe certain kinds of medication including narcotics, controlled substances, or other types of controlled medications that may be harmful due to the potential for abuse. If the HCP is not able to assist you, they will advise that you visit a clinic or hospital for an in-person consultation.

YOU MUST NOT USE THE PLATFORMS FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL NEEDS. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY OR ATTEND YOUR NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM.

The HCP has the discretion to refuse or discontinue the provision of Health Services at any time and for any reason, including if they believe that the Health Services are not appropriate in the circumstances or if there is the actual or potential misuse of the Health Services. Your HCP may determine that Health Services are not appropriate for some or all of your treatment needs, and accordingly may elect not to provide Health Services to you through the Platforms.

As with any other health care service, there are risks associated with the use of the Health Services and risks associated with any inappropriate reliance on Support Services.

There are additional risks associated with telemedicine which may adversely impact the ability of the HCP to provide Health Services or the PHA to provide Support Services, including but not limited to (a) poor quality audio-video connections due to remote locations or other network limitations that may limit the ability of the HCP to conduct an appropriate assessment of you or otherwise obtain sufficient PHI from you to support a diagnosis or prescription, (b) delays in evaluation or treatment resulting from similar technology failures, (c) lack of access to your personal health records maintained outside the Platforms (i.e., by your family doctor or other primary care health professional), which may result in adverse drug interactions, allergic reactions, or other errors (you should always advise the HCP and any dispensing pharmacists of all medications you are taking and any allergies you may have), and (d) unauthorized collection, use or disclosure of your PHI due to a security protocol breach or failure.

Support Services are intended for general educational purposes only and are not Health Services. PHAs may provide information relating to a disease or condition that is not patient-specific and that does not include a diagnosis or treatment. Support Services do not replace consultations with qualified regulated health professionals.

1. Privacy

The collection, use, and disclosure of PI and PHI are governed by our Privacy Policy, located in the footer of our home page. Our Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into and forms part of this T&C. By accessing and using the Platforms, you agree to be bound by its terms.

The sharing of your PI and PHI on the Platforms does not establish a doctor/health practitioner-patient relationship between you and us and is not intended as a solicitation of individuals to become our patients or clients. Your HCP or PHA is using the Platforms under a license from us for their own use and purposes. Your HCP or PHA is responsible for all communications with you conducted through the Platforms in accordance with any arrangement between you and your HCP or PHA, respectively.

1. User Accounts

To use the Platforms and access Health Services or Support Services, you will be required to create a user account (the “User Account“) and obtain a username and password login credentials (“User ID”). You are responsible for keeping your User ID secure. We reserve the right to disable any User Account issued to you at any time at our sole discretion. If we disable access to a User Account issued to you, you may be prevented from accessing the Platforms, any content, your account details, or any User content.

The Health Services and Support Services are also available for use by children at the discretion of the HCP or PHA, but the user itself, the holder of User Account and User ID, for all patients under the age of 18 must be the patient’s parent or legal guardian. If you register as the parent or legal guardian on behalf of a minor, you must create a separate “profile” for each dependent and you are fully responsible for complying with this T&C. Children may only use the Platforms in the presence of their parent or legal guardian.

Subject to any applicable law, any communications (such communications specifically exclude those containing your PI and your PHI, sent by or to you through the Platforms or otherwise to HCPs or PHAs), with us are on a non-confidential basis and we are under no obligation to refrain from reproducing, publishing, or otherwise using them in any way or for any purpose. We shall be free to use the content of any such communication, including, without limitation, any ideas, inventions, concepts, techniques, or know-how disclosed therein, for any purpose including, without limitation, developing, manufacturing, and/or marketing goods and services.

1. Tools

All tools, calculators, or questionnaires (“Tool(s)”) made available on the Platforms are provided for general and illustrative purposes only. Tools do not constitute medical advice and are not intended to be a substitute thereof. You should not act or refrain from acting based on any information provided by any such Tool.

1. Subscription Fees and Payments

We may, in our sole discretion, offer some or all of our Services to you for free or charge you subscription fees or pay-for-service fees in accordance with our then-current fee schedule that can be found on our Websites, as amended from time to time (the “Fee Schedule“). You or a responsible third party are responsible for paying any such applicable fees in accordance with the Fee Schedule (the “Fees“). Unless otherwise expressly indicated in the Fee Schedule, all Fees are quoted in Canadian dollars, exclusive of applicable sales and value-added taxes, and are non-refundable and payable upon invoicing or demand from us. You or a responsible third party are responsible to pay all sales and value-added taxes that may be imposed in each applicable jurisdiction and will hold and save us harmless in respect of any such taxes. For clarity, however, we will not charge you any Fees for any Health Services that are insured under a provincial or territorial health insurance plan in Canada which you are entitled to receive at no cost to you as an insured person under any such plan.

If a third party (e.g., such as an employer or supplemental health insurance provider) has arranged with us to pay the subscription fee or any portion of the subscription fee, or if the subscription fee relates to some other arrangement with us, the subscription fee adjustment will be reflected in the subscription fee that you are ultimately charged. If you have a Health Spending Account (HSA) offered as a benefit by your employer, you agree to pay all fees or charges to your Account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. Please check with your employer to determine if any services will be reimbursed other than from your HSA. We reserve the right to modify or implement a new pricing structure at any time prior to billing you or a responsible third party for your initial payment or for future payments due pursuant to this T&C.

We may require you to provide and keep updated during the Term the details of a current and valid credit card, debit card, PayPal account, Apple Pay, or other payment methods (“Payment Method”) that is acceptable to us at our sole discretion. You hereby authorize us to charge any and all Fees that become due and payable to the Payment Method. You agree to pay such fees, charges, and penalties (including costs and expenses related to the collection by us of overdue payments) as we may from time to time set out on the Websites in respect of late or overdue payments, or declined or unsuccessful Payment Method transactions.

Payment for Health Services and Support Services

We facilitate payment of any fees payable to the HCP or PHA for the provision of Health Services or Support Services to you. Payment of the fees through the credit card validation and processing arrangement described below shall be considered the same as payment made directly to the HCP or PHA. All fees for Health Services and Support Services are in Canadian dollars and are inclusive of all applicable taxes.

Appointment Cancellation and No-Show

Appointments may be canceled by you, with a refund for any payments collected online through our Platforms up to 12 hours in advance of the date of the appointment. Beyond that point, only the HCP will be able to cancel appointments and issue refunds. If you do not present at an appointment, the HCP may charge a non-refundable $25.00 fee and refund the original fee paid for the visit.

Payments and Credit Card Information

We do not store your credit/debit card number, expiry date, or CVV (digits on the back). We use Stripe for payment processing, which enables us to securely use the card in the future without needing to ask for the card details again. Please see Stripe’s website Stripe.com for information about this service.
