TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Last updated: May 30, 2023

The following Terms and Conditions (these "Terms") govern your access to and use of the ACS 247 Ltd. ("ACS") Program (as that term is defined below) via our e-health platform. In consideration of your right to access and use the Program, you accept and agree to these Terms, without variation.

IMPORTANT! YOUR ACCESS TO THE PROGRAM IS SUBJECT TO LEGALLY BINDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS. CAREFULLY READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS BEFORE YOU PROCEED. ACCESSING AND USING THE PROGRAM IS THE EQUIVALENT OF YOUR SIGNATURE AND INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THAT YOU INTEND TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THEM. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT USE THE PROGRAM.

As used in these Terms, "you" means (and "your" refers to) the Program Participant (as that term is defined below), "we" means (and "us", "our", and "ours" refer to) ACS, and "Program" means ACS's health claims processing platform and its branded programs (including, but not limited to, ACS247 and CanAmerica Plus). Each branded Program of ACS provides independent Prescribers (as that term is defined below) and Program Participants an opportunity achieve desired health outcomes by accessing our network of service providers through the Program. The Program uses electronic methods, a network of service providers (each, an "NSP"), and care coordinators (individually, a "CCo", and collectively "CCos"), to facilitate obtaining new and continuation of Treatment Plan(s) (as that term is defined below) and related health services or other products which are exclusive to individuals accepted for enrollment as members of the Program pursuant to the terms and provisions of these Terms (each, a "Program Participant").

The Program enables Program Participants to receive access to our NSPs, including individual:

  • Prescribers (each, a "Prescriber") who are authorized to issue Treatment Plans for the Program Participant, which may contain a written direction directing that a stated amount of a drug be dispensed (a "Prescription") or non-prescription product for the Program Participant;
  • other providers of health care or related services; and
  • pharmacists of pharmacies.

We can help you procure or arrange the delivery of telehealth services or products provided or sold by NSPs (which, collectively, form part of your "Treatment Plan"), on your behalf.

Through the Program, you can access several services from us or NSPs (as the case may be), including:

  • receiving information about your Treatment Plan;
  • all-inclusive pricing for your Treatment Plan;
  • facilitating purchases of electronic vouchers (each, a "Voucher") which entitle you to acquire your Treatment Plan and the products and services which form a part thereof, from NSPs, including brand name, generic, or compounded products;
  • telecommunication technology to access NSPs and / or to manage Treatment Plans;
  • gathering of health care records and health care information with retention of the same for use in NSP appointments, communications, telemedicine and pharmacy services;
  • administrative support in connection with scheduling and payment for NSP services;
  • an electronic clinical or therapeutic review (collectively referred to as the "telemedicine") to approve, review, renew, or issue a desired Treatment Plan;
  • telecommunications support for using the Program as a means of direct access to auxiliary or affiliated professional entities;
  • access to delivery of products, including tracking, as made available by NSPs;
  • automated status updates and refill reminders for Treatment Plans;
  • enrollment in the Program on a continuous basis, but subject to free cancellation;
  • the ability to self-monitor and adjust Treatment Plan subscriptions, from time to time.

THE PROGRAM DOES NOT REPLACE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ANY PHYSICIAN. IF YOU HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, SEEK IN-PERSON EMERGENCY CARE IMMEDIATELY OR DIAL 911. ACS DOES NOT ITSELF PROVIDE ANY MEDICAL OR PHARMACY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. PAYMENT FOR A TREATMENT PLAN OR PRODUCT VOUCHER DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT A PROVIDER WILL APPROVE YOU FOR ANY PARTICULAR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. DELIVERY AND SHIPPING IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PROVIDERS. WE DO NOT SHIP OR DELIVER ANY PRODUCTS.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY IN THESE TERMS. Among other things, it authorizes us to (where necessary):

  • secure and submit the prepaid Voucher for your Treatment Plan via the Program;
  • deal directly with your Prescriber or other health care providers, to obtain a Treatment Plan or refer you to one; and
  • if you choose to have products which form part of your Treatment Plan picked up and delivered to you from an NSP, to appoint a third party such as a courier to act as your agent for the purposes of taking possession of your order at the NSP and then delivering it to the address you supplied.

IN ADDITION, THERE ARE TERMS AND PROVISIONS WITHIN THESE TERMS THAT LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU, PROVIDE FOR AN INDEMNITY IN OUR FAVOUR, AND INCLUDE YOUR AGREEMENT TO SETTLE DISPUTES IN A PARTICULAR JURISDICTION (AND WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION). AGAIN, PLEASE DO NOT ENROLL IN THE PROGRAM OR USE ANY OF OUR SERVICES, IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS.

The Program

  1. Any individual may apply for enrollment in the Program, and, if accepted, will become a Program Participant.
  2. Program Participants may purchase Vouchers for Treatment Plans from one or more NSPs through the Program, using one of ACS's digital telecommunication services, either directly or in conjunction with a CCo. CCos will help Program Participants facilitate their purchases of Treatment Plans. This assistance may include obtaining and transmitting the information necessary for the NSP to perform services.
  3. When a Program Participant contacts a CCo, the CCo will provide the cost of all aspects of a Treatment Plan available from each NSP. A single, all-inclusive price will be quoted which will include, without limitation, the cost of the product(s) and services forming part of the Treatment Plan together with all service charges, commissions and delivery fees charged by any and all parties connected with the transaction including, but not limited to, ACS, each NSP, the CCo and any delivery service. Upon receipt of payment, ACS will allocate the funds amongst the parties accordingly. Treatment Plan offerings and price lists are subject to change in the sole discretion of ACS.
  4. Payment made to ACS will result in the issuance of a non-refundable Voucher, which can be used to secure products and services which form part of your Treatment Plan. The Voucher is applied toward the cost of fulfilling your order which are as indicated in Section 3. All Vouchers are non-refundable, except as set out in these Terms.
  5. Each Voucher is only valid for the NSP chosen by the Program Participant. If you are ineligible for the selected Treatment Plan or if your order cannot be fulfilled, we will notify you by email and or text promptly and issue a refund within 7-10 business days. Except in these limited circumstances, all sales are final and irrevocable, and no refund will be issued.
  6. Vouchers will be issued and submitted for fulfillment and, if applicable, delivery, as per your selection and instructions made through the Program.
  7. Vouchers will be issued and fulfilled according to the schedule agreed to by the Program Participant, and charges will be applied accordingly.
  8. We may offer a "Continuous Enrollment" subscription model, automating the refill schedule and providing timely reminders for Program Participants to pause, adjust, or cancel their Treatment Plan as needed.
  9. The Program also provides access to an array of auxiliary concierge services for Program Participants who may need a little help navigating, coordinating, and accessing, provisions of care.
  10. Access to certain service and information requires accepted enrollment to the Program.

Enrollment in the Program

  1. Enrollment in the Program is subject to criteria established by ACS, which criteria are subject to change in ACS's sole discretion, without notice. Some applicants may not qualify to join the Program as a Program Participant.
  2. Each applicant desiring a Treatment Plan must be evaluated or re-evaluated by a NSP (whether via telemedicine, electronic review or an in-person review), who will exercise their sole professional judgment to confirm appropriateness of Treatment Plans, and the clinical criteria for the Program.
  3. You may also be asked to provide information and otherwise respond to questions which are relevant to your participation in the Program (being referred to as a "Program Participant Questionnaire"). The Program Participant Questionnaire helps us ensure the Program is tailored to your individual needs.
  4. Those individuals deemed eligible for enrollment shall receive a unique ACS Program Participant ID (the "ID") in such format as determined by ACS which provides access to your account (your "Account"). Receipt or possession of an ID is not evidence that you have been accepted nor does it guarantee continued acceptance as a Program Participant. An individual who receives an ID must use the services ordinarily provided only to Program Participants, and then by such use, that individual confirms their status as a Program Participant.

Program Participant Obligations

  1. My participation in the Program is voluntary, and at my own risk.
  2. I agree to keep confidential my ID, username and password that constitute my Account.
  3. I agree to use my Account for my own personal use only.
  4. The Program and/or my participation in it may be terminated by ACS at any time with or without notice or cause.
  5. I will comply with these Terms. If I fail to comply with these Terms, I will no longer be eligible to participate in the Program.
  6. I agree and consent to ACS, ACS affiliates or NSPs sending me disclosures, notices, messages, reports, reminders and other communications via text, email, mail, and / or voice messages. It is my responsibility to monitor these communications.
  7. My participation in the Program shall not constitute or be construed as constituting a partnership, joint venture or principal agency relationship between myself and ACS.

Power of Attorney

  1. I name and authorize each of ACS and any NSPs supplying a product which forms part of my Treatment Plan to me, as my agent and attorney for the limited purposes of taking all steps, transmitting data, and signing all related documents on behalf of myself necessary to complete the sale of the product(s) to me in the jurisdiction in which the applicable NSP operates, including, without limitation:
    1. appointing the third party such as a courier or postal service, who may be resident in a jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction where I am resident and / or be on the premises of the pharmacy which dispenses the Prescription, that will act as my agent for the purposes of taking possession of, directly from the NSP, then delivering to my address, the product(s) I have ordered as part of my Treatment Plan;
    2. in cases where a Prescription must be issued, re-written or co-signed by a physician licensed to practise medicine in the jurisdiction in which the applicable NSP operates, taking all necessary steps on my behalf to contact such physician and convey the relevant information that ACS or NSP has about me (including health information, Treatment Plan and product order history, Prescription(s) and my contact information) for their review; and
    3. each of ACS and any such NSP(s) has the same authority in this regard as I would if I was personally present, taking those steps and signing those documents myself.

    7. I will, to the best of my knowledge, fully and truthfully disclose all pertinent information and documentation required to fulfill my Treatment Plan.

We may coordinate a telehealth consultation, and, in some cases, a Prescription must be re-issued, re-written or co-signed by a physician licensed to practice medicine in the jurisdiction in which the NSP filling my Prescription(s) operates. In the event my Prescription must be re-issued, so re-written or co-signed, the physician will evaluate my medical profile and may approve my Prescription but is in no position to modify the product(s) which I order as part of my Treatment Plan.

The risk of loss and title for such products passes to me when they are delivered to the carrier. If any such product (whether a tangible good or service) actually crosses or is deemed to have crossed a territory, state, provincial or country border the Program Participant is responsible for any duty, taxes, customs fees or any detained, seized, destroyed or denied entry of products which form part of their Treatment Plan they are personally importing.
  10. You may select a compounded product (the "Compound") if the formulary, dose and/or form prescribed is not commercially available to adequately meet the patient-specific therapeutic need.
