1. Our Platform and Services

‍

a. Description of the Platform and Services

‍

Phoenix DH provides a telehealth Platform that connects individuals with licensed independent physicians, pharmacists, nurse practitioners and other regulated healthcare professionals (“Healthcare Professionals”) to receive virtual health and wellness services and products to facilitate continuity of care, including but not limited to:

• healthcare evaluations, prescriptions and other prescribed treatment, treatment monitoring, adherence tracking, care coordination, and preventive health services provided by Healthcare Professionals;
• diagnostics, lab testing and related services provided by qualified third-party labs and other service providers; and 
• pharmaceutical and compounding prescription services provided by licensed pharmacists to fulfill prescriptions provided by licensed Healthcare Professionals after completing healthcare evaluations (collectively or individually, the “Healthcare Services”).

In addition to the above Healthcare Services, Phoenix DH may provide other health or wellness services or products, including connected devices, that are offered directly via the Platform or through our affiliates from time to time (collectively, with the Healthcare Services, the “Services”).

‍

Phoenix DH does not provide Healthcare Services or any other professional services. Phoenix DH is a technology service provider that provides the Platform and facilitates access to independently licensed Healthcare Professionals and other services providers that are qualified to provide Healthcare Services or other professional services. 

‍

By becoming a User, you consent to Healthcare Professionals providing Services through the Platform. Should you elect to fulfill Healthcare Services by a pharmacy partner affiliated with the Platform, your prescription may be transferred to any of the Platform’s licensed pharmacy partners in order to route your prescription in the most efficient available manner.

‍

We may refuse to provide the Platform and/or the Services to any person, or in any jurisdiction, in our discretion.  We may also report to the authorities any verbal or written abuse of any kind (including threats of abuse or retribution) made towards Healthcare Professionals, another User(s), our directors, officers, employees, contractors, or third-party service providers, including for our refusal to provide Services.

‍

b. Messaging System

Communications between Users and Healthcare Professionals are carried out through the messaging system on our Platform. The response rate and message frequency are determined exclusively by the User and the applicable Healthcare Professional. Do not use the messaging system for medical emergencies or anything other than determining the eligibility of a User to receive the Services.

‍

To determine if you are eligible to receive Services, a Healthcare Professional may ask you for additional information, including Personal Information and Personal Health Information (both as defined in our Privacy Notice). All information exchanged between you and a Healthcare Professional though our messaging system is subject to our Privacy Notice.

‍

c. Accessibility

We aim to make the Platform accessible to all. If you have any problems using the Platform or accessing the Content please contact us at support@phoenix.ca.

‍

2. Changes to the Platform, Services or Terms

‍

We may change or update the Platform, our Services or these Terms from time to time as our business evolves, in response to legal development, as new technologies become available, or as we introduce new features, services or products.  We may modify, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Platform and/or the Services, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason.  

‍

We may periodically revise any aspect of these Terms and change the Subscription Fee (as defined below) and any other fees or pricing for other products or services.  Where required by law, any such change will be effective at least thirty (30) days following either our dispatch of a notice to you or our posting of the amendment on the Platform. If you do not agree to any change to these Terms, you must discontinue using the Platform and our Services.

‍

When we make changes to these Terms, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Terms. We will also display a notice on the Platform prompting Users with Accounts and/or subscriptions to review and accept the changes to the Terms. If you do not accept the changes, you will not be able to use the Services and must terminate your subscription. Visitors to the Platform will become subject to the version of the Terms then in effect and should review this page periodically. 

‍

If we make substantive changes to the Terms, then in addition to displaying a notice on the Platform, we may also notify Users by email at the email address associated with your Account. The changes to the Terms will take effect on the date on which they were made or on the date provided in the notice.

‍

‍

If you click on a link to a third-party site you will leave the Platform and you will be subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of those sites.

‍

9. Legal Disclaimers

‍

We provide the Platform, Services and Content ‘as is’ and ‘as available’. Except where excluded by applicable law, we expressly disclaim all representations, warranties, covenants and conditions, express or implied, by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation any implied warranties and conditions that the Platform, Services, and Content will be of satisfactory or merchantable quality; fit for any particular purpose; not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party; function or be available uninterrupted, secure, error-free, accurate, current, or complete; or any implied representations or warranties arising out of course of performance, or the course of usage or trade of any of the foregoing.

‍

Phoenix DH does not provide Healthcare Services or any other professional services. Phoenix DH is a technology service provider that provides the Platform and facilitates access to others that may provide virtual Healthcare Services or other professional services. Prescription products require an online consultation with a licensed Healthcare Professional who will determine if a prescription is appropriate. 

‍

The Healthcare Professionals that Users may access via the App are not employees or agents of Phoenix DH and are not credentialed by Phoenix DH.  Phoenix DH does not have any oversight of the care provided to Users by Healthcare Professionals. Each Healthcare Professional is an independent licensed practitioner who is solely responsible for any Healthcare Services they provide to Users, including the prescription or supply of medications.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim any liability resulting from the provision of Services or supply of goods (and associated advice) by Healthcare Professionals. Liability shall rest with the appropriate provider and shall not be deemed to rest with us. 

‍

While the Content may include certain general healthcare Information, the Content is not and should not be considered telehealth advice or a substitute for individual healthcare advice, diagnosis or treatment. Users should always talk to a licensed healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment, including information regarding which drugs or treatment may be appropriate for you. Never disregard, avoid or delay in obtaining healthcare advice because of something you have read on the Platform. None of the Content constitutes a representation or warranty that any particular drug or treatment is safe, appropriate or effective. If you know or suspect that you have a medical problem or condition, please immediately contact a licensed healthcare provider.  

‍

We, and any other Persons involved in the management of the Platform may make changes to the Content at any time and without notice. While we make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Content is accurate, current, and free of typographical and other errors, occasionally some Content on our Platform may be inaccurate, incomplete, or may contain typographical or other errors (together “Errors”). We reserve the right, but we do not have an obligation to correct Errors or to change the Content, except as required by law. You should not take any updates to these Terms to mean that such Errors have been corrected.

You are, and will at all times be, solely responsible for any medical-related decisions you make or not make based on any Content, or data downloaded or otherwise accessed through the Platform or received through the Services.

‍

10. Limitation of Liability

‍

You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Platform, Services, and Content remains with you. You are solely responsible for all of your communications and interactions with Healthcare Professionals and other third parties with whom you may communicate or interact as a result of your use of the Platform, Services and Content and you agree to take reasonable precautions to protect your Account information in all such regards.

‍

If you are dissatisfied with the Platform, the Services, the Content, these Terms, or any Additional Terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to stop using the Platform, Services, and Content and to close your Account. 

‍

To the greatest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, reliance, special or other damages, however they arise, including without limitation, illness, injury (including death or disability), emotional distress, damages for inconvenience, harm to business or persons, lost profits, lost savings or lost revenues, loss of goodwill, business interruption, loss of information or programs, or other data on your device arising, directly or indirectly from:  (a) your decision to provide or to seek Services; (b) your use of, or the inability to use your Account, the Platform, the Services, or the Content, for any reason; (c) your use or reliance on any content, information, products, or services on any linked sites; (d) the clinical decisions of a Healthcare Professional in providing or not providing Services and any other matters related thereto; (e) the acts or omissions of any third-party, including Users and our service providers; (f) your communications or interactions with any other Users of the Platform or Services or other Persons with whom you communicate or interact as a result of your use of the Platform or Services; (f) any errors or omissions in the Content, the Platform, or your Account; (h) our or your transmission of confidential information, Personal Information, Personal Health Information, or other sensitive information via the internet, including by email, to or from the Platform or your Account; all whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory of liability, and whether or not we had been informed of the possibility of such damage. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you in that regard.

‍

Except where excluded by applicable law, in no event will our aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with any of the foregoing exceed the total Subscription Fees you paid over the past 12 months. These limitations and exclusions will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, even if any remedy fails its essential purpose.

‍

11. Indemnification

‍

You hereby agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from and against any and all liabilities, damages, claims, threats, losses, fines, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), (individually a “Claim” and together “Claims”) made by a third-party arising directly or indirectly out of:  (a) your use or reliance on the Platform, Services, or Content; (b) your breach of these Terms, and any Additional Terms, or the Privacy Notice; (c) your violation of any rights of a third-party; (d)  your use, reliance on, or engagement of any kind with any Healthcare Professional or third-party service provider; (e) your use or reliance upon any sites linked on the Platform, or your commercial or other relationship with the operators of those sites and any contract for products or services of those parties that you may have entered; (f) injuries, disability, or death from receiving the Services; and (g) any and all acts or omissions of a Healthcare Professional made in providing Services to you. In addition, you agree to reimburse us for any and all costs, attorney’s fees and expenses we may incur to enforce the provisions of this Agreement against you, whether by arbitration, prosecution of a lawsuit, or otherwise. You will not be required to indemnify us, to the extent allowed by law, where such Claims are caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

‍

12. Dispute Resolution

‍

(This section does not apply where excluded by applicable law) You and we agree to settle any dispute, claim, or controversy arising directly or indirectly from the enforcement, interpretation, validity, breach, and termination of these Terms, any Additional Terms, or the Privacy Notice (collectively, “Disputes”) though good faith negotiations after providing to the other a written Notice of Dispute.

‍

If we cannot find a resolution within 21 business days from the Notice of Dispute, then the Dispute will be settled by binding arbitration and you waive your right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding against us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our intellectual property rights.

‍

You and we must file a notice of dispute for arbitration (except intellectual property disputes) within one year from the date when the matter at issue first arose, otherwise neither of us will be able to initiate arbitration or seek legal recourse for that matter.

‍

Any Dispute shall be determined by arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) Canada in accordance with its Canadian Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”). The arbitration shall be conducted in Ontario Canada, in the English language, by a single arbitrator appointed under the Rules. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. The arbitration will include a written confidential record of the arbitrator’s findings, which shall be final. An award of arbitration may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction.

‍

13. General Terms and Conditions

a. Relationship of The Parties

These Terms do not and shall not be construed to create a partnership or joint venture, agency relationship, or employment relationship between us. Neither we nor you have the right or authority to create any obligations on each other’s behalf.

‍

b. Entire Agreement

These Terms, any applicable Additional Terms, the Privacy Notice and any documents incorporated by reference in these Terms, contain the entire understanding and agreement between us and you in relation to your use of the Platform, the Content and the subscription to and use of the Services, and supersede any prior agreements between you and us, including, but not limited to, any prior versions of these Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, these Terms do not supersede the separate contractor agreements between us and each Healthcare Professional.

We are not liable to you for our breach of these Terms caused by any event or circumstance beyond our reasonable control including, without limitation, strikes, lock-outs, and other industrial disputes, breakdown of systems or network access, flood, fire, explosion, accident, cyber or terrorist attacks.

‍

d. Severability

‍

If any part of these Terms is found void and unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, then that provision shall be severed from these Terms, then the rest of these Terms will remain valid and enforceable.

‍

e. Cumulative Remedies

‍

Other than as expressly stated in this Agreement, and subject to the Dispute Resolution provision, the remedies provided in this Agreement are in addition to, and without prejudice to, any other remedies we or you may have at law or in equity.

‍

f. Waiver

‍

If we choose not to enforce any right that we have against you at any time, this does not prevent us from later exercising or enforcing that right.

‍

g. Assignment

‍

You may not assign, sub-license or otherwise transfer any of your rights and obligations in these Terms to any other person without our prior written consent, which we may give or withhold, at our sole discretion. We may assign these Terms without notice to you or consent from you.

‍

h. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

‍

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable in Ontario, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that may impose the laws of another jurisdiction.
