5. User Responsibility and Conduct

Scope and Limitations of Telehealth Services

The Jupiter Health Platform is a technology-based Platform designed to connect users with licensed Healthcare Professionals, enabling them to conduct consultations and formulate treatment plans based on their professional judgment. While Jupiter does facilitate access to these Services, Jupiter itself is not registered to provide healthcare services.

Only licensed Healthcare Professionals are permitted to offer Services to users through the Jupiter Platform. These Healthcare Professionals include Physicians and Nurse Practitioners licensed to practice medicine in a Canadian province or territory.

The rules governing telehealth provision vary by province and territory. Healthcare Professionals may not always be located in the same province or territory as You when providing Services.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT OUR SERVICES ARE INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT, NOT REPLACE, IN-PERSON MEDICAL CARE

Disclaimer of Liability for Misdiagnosis

Be advised that the absence of in-person physical evaluation may result in misdiagnosis and associated health risks. Jupiter Health expressly disclaims any liability arising from inaccuracies, misdiagnoses, or omissions attributable to the lack of physical examination capabilities on this Platform.

Healthcare Professionals using the Platform are independent third-party providers who have opted to use the Platform to offer Services. These professionals are not employees or representatives of Jupiter Health. They are solely responsible for upholding all applicable standards of care, including those related to diagnosing and prescribing.

Appropriate Use for Medical Conditions

The Services offered by Jupiter Health are specifically designed for medical conditions that are deemed appropriate for management through telehealth consultations. The suitability of these Services is solely determined by our licensed Healthcare Professionals.

Healthcare Professionals affiliated with Jupiter Health reserve the right to refuse or discontinue the provision of services to any user at their discretion, including but not limited to cases of actual or potential misuse of the services.

Assessment Limitations

It is imperative to understand that some medical conditions require in-person physical assessments for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. Given the inherent limitations of a telehealth Platform, Jupiter Health is not equipped to perform such assessments.

There are inherent risks associated with receiving services via telehealth, including, but not limited to, the risks of electronic data transmission and storage. For specific details regarding these risks, please refer to Jupiter Health' privacy policy and consent to use virtual care tools and electronic communications, both of which form part of these terms.

Immediate Care Instructions

Some user responses during our services may indicate health concerns that fall outside the scope of the services provided via our Platform and telehealth in general. Users displaying certain symptoms, conditions, or circumstances may be recommended to seek immediate in-person medical care instead of continuing with our services. Failure to comply with such guidance may result in the termination of your account and may expose you to increased health risks.

Emergency Situations

This Platform is not equipped to handle medical emergencies. In the event of an emergency or a situation requiring urgent medical attention, you are required to contact emergency services immediately.

6. Prescription Protocols

Consultation and Prescription Process

Upon the conclusion of a consultation, Healthcare Professionals may or may not issue a treatment and/or prescription based on their professional judgment. You have the option to fulfill these prescriptions through a Jupiter affiliated pharmacy or through a pharmacy of your choice.

Prohibited Medications

Please be advised that Jupiter Health does not offer certain categories of medications, including but not limited to narcotics, targeted and controlled substances. The availability of specific medications is subject to federal and provincial regulations and professional guidelines.

Adverse Events Reporting

In the event of medication reactions, side effects, or other adverse events, you should report them to your primary care professional, the nearest walk-in clinic, or emergency room, or call 911 in an emergency.

7. Pharmacy Services

Opt-Out Procedure

If a prescription is generated by a Healthcare Professional through the Jupiter Platform, users have the flexibility to direct the prescription to any pharmacy of their choice. To use a local pharmacy, select the option "Send to My Local Pharmacy" and provide the necessary details for that pharmacy.

If you do not select this option, you hereby consent to have your prescription sent to one of Jupiter's affiliated pharmacies for processing. Benefits of using an affiliated pharmacy include free delivery, prescription refill notifications, the ability to pause or resume prescription services, and the option to request prescription renewals, among other features that Jupiter may introduce from time to time.

By opting for a Jupiter-affiliated pharmacy, you expressly consent to the sharing and disclosure of all relevant personal and healthcare information with the affiliated pharmacies. Additionally, you consent that your prescription may be transferred to any Jupiter affiliated pharmacy to ensure efficient processing.

Counseling
  • Product Page Information: You will find a detailed product page in the "My Medications" section of the Platform's user portal. This page will include key counseling points and product details for each prescribed medication.
  • Email Correspondence: Once your prescription has been issued, you will receive an email providing information on how to access all relevant information pertaining to your medication in addition to an invitation to schedule counseling with a pharmacist.
  • Package Leaflet: Each shipped package will include a paper copy containing comprehensive product details and counseling information for the dispensed medication.
  • Contact Options: Users have multiple avenues to interact with the pharmacy for consultations. These include secure chat through the Platform's user portal, scheduling a conversation with a member of the pharmacy team, or directly calling the pharmacy during available hours.
No Returns or Exchanges

You hereby acknowledge and agree that if a prescription is filled by any Jupiter affiliated pharmacy, no refunds will be issued for medications that have already been dispensed at the time of pausing or terminating your Account with Jupiter Health. If a dispensed medication remains unclaimed at the designated delivery service, or if delivery is otherwise unsuccessful for reasons beyond our control, such medication will be destroyed one month subsequent to the original fill date, unless you make explicit contact with our Customer Support or the affiliated pharmacy.

Returns of medications or products are solely for the purpose of secure disposal. These returns must either be made in person or shipped at your own expense. No refunds, exchanges, or store credits will be granted under any circumstances, as the safety, storage, and handling of the medication or product following your receipt thereof cannot be assured or guaranteed.

Compounding Services

By utilizing Jupiter Health's Platform, you acknowledge that some of the medications prescribed may be custom-compounded by our affiliated pharmacies according to a Healthcare Professional's directions. The compounded medications are tailored to meet your specific healthcare needs and are produced in compliance with the highest standards of pharmacy practice as outlined by the relevant regulatory bodies.

While compounded medications undergo rigorous quality control, it is crucial for you to follow the provided storage instructions and usage guidelines carefully to ensure the medication's effectiveness. Any deviation from these guidelines could affect the safety and efficacy of the medication. Jupiter Health and its affiliated pharmacies disclaim all liability for any loss, damage, or adverse effects resulting from your failure to adhere to these guidelines.

Medication Recall

In the unlikely event of a medication recall affecting any of the pharmaceuticals distributed by our affiliated pharmacies, Jupiter Health will endeavor to notify all impacted users promptly. The notification will include details of the affected medication, the nature of the recall, and any steps you should immediately undertake for your safety. Depending on the severity and type of the recall, we may also facilitate the return and replacement or disposal of the affected medication.

If you receive such a recall notification, it is imperative that you discontinue use of the affected medication and follow the instructions provided. Jupiter Health and its affiliated pharmacies will not be held liable for any harm or adverse effects experienced due to continued use of a recalled product after a recall notification has been issued.

By continuing to use our Platform, you acknowledge your understanding and acceptance of these terms pertaining to Compounding Services and Medication Recalls.

Delays in Prescription and Pharmacy Services

Jupiter Health Inc. strives to facilitate timely services through its Platform, including but not limited to prescription issuance by licensed Healthcare Professionals and fulfillment by associated pharmacies. However, delays may occur for a variety of reasons, such as system downtime, high service demand, or unforeseen complexities in the evaluation or fulfillment process.

You acknowledge and agree that Jupiter Health Inc. shall not be liable for any delays in prescription issuance by healthcare providers or delays in medication fulfillment by pharmacies, whether such delays are caused by our Platform or by third parties.

Jupiter Health Inc. makes no guarantees regarding the time required for prescription issuance or medication delivery and disclaims any liability for any consequences resulting from such delays.

Medication Shortages

By using Jupiter Health's Platform, you acknowledge that the availability of certain medications is subject to supply chain fluctuations, manufacturing constraints, and regulatory changes. While Jupiter Health and its affiliated pharmacies make reasonable efforts to maintain a consistent supply of medications, we cannot guarantee the uninterrupted availability of any specific medication.

In the event that a prescribed medication is unavailable or back-ordered, we will make efforts to inform you in a timely manner. Alternative treatment options may be suggested by the Healthcare Professional, and it will be your responsibility to consult with them to determine a suitable course of action.

Neither Jupiter Health nor its affiliated pharmacies shall be liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience suffered as a result of the unavailability of any medication. Your continued use of the Platform signifies your understanding and acceptance of this Medication Availability clause.

Dispensing Error Management

Jupiter Health Inc. and its affiliated pharmacies strive to uphold the highest standards of care in the dispensing of medications. Despite our rigorous protocols, errors may infrequently occur. In the event of a dispensing error, the patient is obliged to notify Jupiter Health Inc. or the respective affiliate pharmacy immediately upon discovery of the mistake.

Immediate recall of the incorrectly dispensed medication;
Replacement with the correct medication at no additional cost to the patient;
Clinical consultation to assess any health impacts due to the error.

14. Technology and Security

Encryption Standards

In our commitment to safeguarding the privacy and integrity of your data, Jupiter Health employs robust encryption standards to protect information transmitted between you and our Platform. Below are key elements detailing our encryption measures

SSL/TLS Protocols Jupiter Health's Platform uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols to encrypt data during transmission. These protocols establish a secure connection between your device and our servers, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of information shared.

End-to-End Encryption All communications within our telemedicine sessions, including video and audio exchanges, are encrypted from end-to-end. This means only you and the healthcare provider can decrypt and view the information, making it virtually impossible for unauthorized third parties to access your data.

Data Encryption at Rest Besides encrypting data during transmission, we also encrypt data "at rest," that is, when stored on our servers. We utilize advanced encryption algorithms that comply with federal and provincial regulations.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) To provide an additional layer of security, Jupiter Health employs MFA methods requiring users to validate their identity using two or more verification mechanisms. This could be a combination of something they know (password), something they have (a mobile device), or something they are (biometric verification).

Regular Updates Our encryption standards are routinely reviewed and updated to address new security threats. We adhere to a proactive approach in adopting emerging encryption technologies and best practices.

Compliance All encryption standards deployed by Jupiter Health align with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA), and other relevant laws governing data protection and privacy in Ontario, Canada.

Third-Party Audits To ensure the efficacy of our encryption measures, Jupiter Health undergoes regular third-party audits. These audits scrutinize our encryption protocols, ensuring they meet or exceed industry standards.

User Responsibility for Device Security

While Jupiter employs industry-standard encryption methodologies to safeguard your data, you retain sole responsibility for implementing security measures on your device and for any unauthorized access to your Account.

Cyberattacks and Security

Jupiter Health Inc. is not responsible for any damages or implications caused by viruses, distributed denial-of-service attacks, or other technologically harmful material that may infect your computer equipment, computer programs, or data due to the use of our services or to your downloading of any material posted on it, or any website linked to it.

Technology Requirements
  • Software and Hardware: To utilize Jupiter Health Inc.'s services, users are required to have a device with internet access, a supported web browser, and, where required, the appropriate software to view certain content (e.g., PDF files). For telehealth services, a camera, microphone, and speakers may also be required. Jupiter Health Inc. is not responsible for providing these requirements.
  • Updates: The Platform may update or require updates and it is the user's responsibility to update to the latest version of any required software to maintain optimal functionality.

15. Algorithmic Operations

Algorithms

Jupiter Health utilizes proprietary algorithms (the "algorithms") to conduct preliminary medical evaluations and recommend potential treatment options. These algorithms are calibrated to identify cases necessitating immediate or in-person medical intervention, thereby excluding them from the online consultation process. The final prescription authority resides solely with the designated licensed Healthcare Professional, who shall exercise their professional judgment independent of algorithmic recommendations.

Algorithmic Decision-Making Limitations

Jupiter Health expressly disclaims any liability for errors, omissions, or inaccuracies emanating from these algorithms. Algorithms serve solely as supplementary tools and do not replace professional medical judgment
