6. MEDICAL ADVICE NOT PROVIDED. NONE OF THE CONTENT IS, NOR SHOULD ANY OF THE CONTENT BE CONSTRUED AS BEING, IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER MEDICAL ADVICE OR ANY OTHER ADVICE OF A SIMILAR NATURE. YOU MAY NOT ACCESS THE SERVICES OF A PHYSICIAN OR ANY OTHER REGULATED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, OTHER THAN A PHARMACIST THROUGH THE PLATFORMS.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU ATTEMPT SELF-TREATMENT BASED ON THE PLATFORMS OR ANY OF THE CONTENT.

7. PHARMACY SERVICES.  The use of the Platforms, as permitted by us and these TOU, enables you to be directed to and access the services of a pharmacy licensed in a Canadian jurisdiction (the “Pharmacies”) and the services of pharmacists (“Pharmacists”) who are licensed in a Canadian jurisdiction (“Pharmacy Services”) and personal health assistants who assist such pharmacists (“PHAs”) by providing support services to you related to you relating to the Pharmacy Services you receive (“Support Services”).  The Pharmacies providing services to you are affiliates or subsidiaries of Mednow or are otherwise a part of our network.

The Pharmacies rely upon the location you provide to us in order to determine the appropriate Pharmacy that will provide Pharmacy Services to you.  Pharmacists may be located in the jurisdiction in Canada which you reside, or another jurisdiction in Canada, as permitted by their regulatory authority.  Pharmacists will fulfil a prescription or assist with information relating thereto, as appropriate.  For more information about any particular Pharmacist, you may review their governing body’s website and consult their profile on the register.  Pharmacy Services through the Platforms are not a substitute for having your own family doctor or primary care provider provide care to you, or for in-person health care interactions.

MEDNOW’S ROLE IS LIMITED TO MAKING AVAILABLE THE PLATFORMS AND WE ARE NOT A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER AND ARE NOT ENGAGED IN THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE AND DO NOT DIRECTLY OPERATE ANY PHARMACY.  MEDNOW IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY PHARMACIST-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP THAT MAY BE ESTABLISHED THROUGH THE PLATFORMS.  WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY PHARMACY SERVICES OR SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU, WHICH ARE PROVIDED BY THE APPLICABLE PHARMACY AND PHARMACIST.  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 Platforms enable Pharmacists and PHAs to receive personal health information (“PHI”) and personal information (“PI”) about you through the Platforms and to provide Pharmacy Services or Support Services to you.  Your use of the Platforms neither establishes nor governs your relationship with the Pharmacist or PHA. The Pharmacy Services or Support Services provided to you by the Pharmacist or PHA form a bilateral contractual relationship between you and the Pharmacist or PHA and we are not a party to that agreement.

Once you have connected with a Pharmacist and you have accepted and agreed to any additional terms and conditions required by such Pharmacist, you will be eligible to request and receive Pharmacy Services from such Pharmacist, including to have prescriptions filled and arranged to be delivered to you.  The Pharmacists may require additional identification verification from you in order to satisfy their professional obligations. You will always retain the right to choose your pharmacy of choice to fill your prescription. 

Since Pharmacy Services are regulated at the provincial and territorial level in Canada, the type of Pharmacy Services that are available to you through the Platform may differ depending on your province or territory of residence and the location at the time you request such Pharmacy Services. There are restrictions on the types of Pharmacy Services that may be provided through the Platforms. Certain types of Pharmacy Services may be excluded or require in-person consultations. If a Pharmacist is not able to assist you, they may advise you to visit a pharmacy, clinic, or hospital for an in-person consultation. 

A Pharmacist has the discretion to refuse or discontinue the provision of Pharmacy Services at any time and for any reason, including if they are of the opinion that any Pharmacy Services are not appropriate in the circumstances or if there is actual, potential, or suspected misuse of the Pharmacy Services, fraud, or violation of applicable law. A Pharmacist may determine that certain Pharmacy Services are not appropriate for some or all of your needs, and accordingly may elect not to provide Pharmacy Services to you through the Platforms or otherwise.

THERE ARE ADDITIONAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH VIRTUAL SERVICES WHICH MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT THE ABILITY OF A PHARMACIST TO PROVIDE PHARMACY SERVICES, INCLUDING: (A) POOR QUALITY AUDIO-VIDEO OR DATA TRANSFER CONNECTIONS DUE TO REMOTE LOCATIONS OR OTHER NETWORK LIMITATIONS THAT MAY LIMIT THE ABILITY OF THE PHARMACIST TO CONDUCT AN APPROPRIATE ASSESSMENT OF YOUR PHARMACY NEEDS, OR OTHERWISE OBTAIN SUFFICIENT PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION FROM YOU TO SUPPORT THE PROVISION OR PHARMACY SERVICES; (B) DELAYS IN EVALUATION RESULTING FROM SIMILAR TECHNOLOGY FAILURES; (C) LACK OF ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH RECORDS MAINTAINED OUTSIDE THE PLATFORM (I.E., BY YOUR FAMILY PHYSICIAN OR OTHER PRIMARY CARE HEALTH PROFESSIONAL), WHICH MAY RESULT IN ADVERSE DRUG INTERACTIONS, ALLERGIC REACTIONS, OR OTHER ERRORS (YOU SHOULD ALWAYS ADVISE THE APPLICABLE PHARMACIST OF ALL MEDICATIONS YOU ARE TAKING AND ANY ALLERGIES YOU MAY HAVE); AND (D) UNAUTHORIZED COLLECTION, USE OR DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION DUE TO A SECURITY PROTOCOL BREACH OR FAILURE.

SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDED BY PHAS ARE INTENDED FOR GENERAL EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE NOT PHARMACY SERVICES. ANY AND ALL SUCH INFORMATION DOES NOT REPLACE CONSULTATIONS WITH QUALIFIED REGULATED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, INCLUDING PHARMACISTS OR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS.  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.

8. Payment Method.  Depending on the nature of Pharmacy Services you access through the Platform, you may be required to provide Mednow with your Payment Method on behalf of the applicable Pharmacy.  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 applicable Pharmacy. We do not store your credit card or debit card number, expiry date, or CVV (digits on the back of your credit card or debit card). We use Third-Party Payment Processors for payment processing, which enables us to securely use the Payment Method in the future without needing to ask for the Payment Method details again. Please see the website of our Third-Party Payment Processor for information about these payment processing services. When you add your Payment Method to your user account, you will be asked to provide Mednow with customary billing information such as name, billing address, and financial instrument information for use by Third-Party Payment Processors to process payments in connection with the Platform. Your billing address must be the same as the shipping address. You will be required to provide Mednow with valid, accurate, current, and complete information when adding your Payment Method and to update and correct your Payment Method as required to ensure that your Payment Method is at all times valid, current, complete, and accurate. If your Payment Method changes as a result of expiry or re-issuance or otherwise, you will immediately notify Mednow via email to pharmacy-support@mednow.ca or via the Contact Us page of the Platform and you acknowledge and agree that we may acquire that information from third parties and update your Payment Method on file in your user account and you consent to us obtaining such information. You authorize our Third-Party Payment Processors to store and use any and all information you provide for use in maintaining your Payment Method, and you authorize Mednow and/or our Third-Party Payment Processors to charge your Payment Method for any and all fees, charges and associated taxes. You acknowledge and agree that:

you are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of your Payment Method;

failure to maintain valid, current, complete, and accurate information in your Payment Method may result in your inability to access and use the Platform or any Services;

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MEDNOW IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CLAIMS OR LOSSES SUFFERED BY YOU AS A RESULT OF INCORRECT PAYMENT METHOD PROVIDED BY YOU OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR PAYMENT METHOD; and

Mednow may use Third-Party Payment Processors to access, hold, use, and process your Payment Method in order to process payments made by you to Mednow and, in such circumstances, the processing of payments or refunds, as applicable, will be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Third-Party Payment Processor and your credit card issuer. In this section, “Third-Party Payment Processor” means any person engaged by a Pharmacy to process payments for or on behalf of the Pharmacy or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries (including Moneris); and “Payment Method” means a valid financial instrument that you add to your user profile from time to time or that you use when paying any fees or charges, including credit card, debit card, PayPal account, or any other method of payment acceptable to the applicable Pharmacy (in its sole discretion).
