Eligibility. Our Services are intended for use by you only if you are 13 years of age or over. To qualify to use the Services, the following must be true, and by accessing or using the Services, you represent and warrant that they are true:

You are age 13 or over or, if you are accessing the Services in violation of the Eligibility requirement related to age, you otherwise have the express consent of your parent or legal guardian. You are located in a province where we operate (depending on the type of Services). You agree to be legally bound by and comply with these Terms of Use. You understand and agree that satisfying the above requirements does not guarantee that you will receive Services. In addition to the above requirements, Julius and certain affiliated professional entities reserve the right to change or include new requirements as deemed appropriate in their sole discretion without providing prior notice to you. To access or use the Services, you must have compatible devices, access to the Internet, and certain necessary software. Fees and charges may apply to your use of mobile services and to the Internet.

2. Our Services

Telehealth Services. Telemedicine involves the delivery of health care services using electronic communications, information technology, or other means between a health care provider and a patient who are not in the same physical location. Telemedicine may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and/or related patient education, and may include, but is not limited to:

Electronic transmission of medical records, photo images, personal health information, or other data between a patient and health care provider;
Interactions between a patient and health care provider via audio, video, and/or data communications; and
Use of output data from medical devices, sound, and video files.

The electronic systems used in the Services will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information, and will include measures to safeguard your data to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption or unlawful access. By accepting the Terms of Use, you agree and consent to Julius, the Authorized Medical Providers, and any other health care organization(s) or provider(s) with whom we partner to provide the Services to you sending you disclosures, notices, messages, reports, and other communications either in writing or electronically including without limitation through your account or by email. It is your responsibility to monitor these communications. You acknowledge and agree that you will not hold us, any Ahuthorized Medical Provider, or any health care organization(s) or provider(s) with whom we partner to offer the Services to you liable for any loss, injury, or claim of any kind resulting from your failure to read these communications or for your failure to comply with any treatment recommendations contained in these communications. Moreover, you acknowledge and agree that no means of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to us transmitting health and other information to you electronically and that any information sent to or signed by you or us electronically shall be deemed equivalent to as if such information was provided or signed in writing.

Your Relationship with Julius.

Julius does not provide any medical advice or healthcare services, including via the Services. Authorized physicians and authorized non-physician providers such as nurse practitioners (collectively, “Authorized Medical Providers”) may provide healthcare services, including telemedicine services (“Healthcare Services”) through the Julius Platform in accordance with applicable law.

Julius offers an online communication platform for Authorized Medical Providers and their patients to connect via the Julius Platform (the "Platform") through the use of synchronous and asynchronous telecommunications technologies. The Platform facilitates communication between patients and Authorized Medical Providers. Julius contracts with independent contracted physician providers and non-physician providers such as nurse practitioners, who provide Healthcare Services. The Authorized Medical Providers deliver Healthcare Services via the Platform to their patients. The Authorized Medical Providers, and not Julius, are responsible for the quality and appropriateness of the care they render to you.

The health resources made available through our Services are for informational purposes only, and are not a substitute for direct in-person health care services in all cases; nor are they an indicator of specific results. The decision to focus on diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or both, rests with you and the Authorized Medical Provider. You understand that by coordinating and consulting with an Authorized Medical Provider through the Services, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with Julius.

You agree that any prescription written to you by an Authorized Medical Provider is solely for the personal use of the individual named on the prescription. You agree to carefully and fully read all provided product information and labels, and to contact a physician or pharmacist if you have any questions regarding the prescription or medication.

You should report any emergency medication reactions, side effects or other adverse events to your family physician or, if you do not have one, to the nearest walk-in clinic or emergency room or call 911 if any reaction is an emergency situation.

Except for specific communications received from an Authorized Medical Provider, none of the information you receive through the Services should be considered medical advice.

‍Pharmacy Services. If you receive a prescription as a result of your use of the Services, you may select the Julius Pharmacy Partner to fulfill and ship your prescription. You may also choose to have your prescription fulfilled through the pharmacy of your choice when prompted during your use of the Services. You give us consent to send and disclose to the Julius Pharmacy Partner or the pharmacy of your choice all information provided by you, health care records, and other applicable health care information and personal information (such as your name, location and demographic information) so that you may receive pharmacy services.

If you select to use the Julius Pharmacy Partner to fulfill any prescriptions, you acknowledge that your medication will not be shipped in child-resistant packaging and that you must keep it out of the reach of children.

3. Registration and Account Creation

Although certain parts of the Services are accessible without creating an account, you may be required to create an account to access and use certain parts of the Services. If you create an account, you agree to provide information that is accurate, complete and correct, and to accurately maintain and update any information about yourself that you have provided to Julius. If you do not maintain such information, or Julius has reasonable grounds to suspect as much, Julius has the right to suspend or terminate your account and your use of the Services. You agree to keep confidential your username and password and to exit from your account at the end of each session. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account and for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. You also agree to immediately notify Julius of any unauthorized use of your username, password or any other breach of security that you become aware of involving or relating to the Services by emailing Julius at support@juliusmd.ca. Julius may take any and all actions it deems necessary or reasonable to maintain the security of the Services.You are responsible for changing your password promptly if you think it has been compromised. You may not transfer or share your password with anyone, or create more than one account. You may not use anyone else’s account at any time. Julius explicitly disclaims liability for any and all losses and damages arising from your failure to comply with this section.

‍No agency relationship. Neither these Terms of Use, nor any Services Content, materials or features of the Services create any partnership, joint venture, employment, or other agency relationship between us and you. You may not enter into any contract on our behalf or bind us in any way.
