Acceptance of the request is communicated to you on behalf of the Third Party Providers through pH7’s mobile applications and/or websites and will give rise to a direct contract between you and the Third Party Provider (for Third Party Services) or between you and pH7 (for pH7 Provided Services).

4. pH7 Provided Services


4.1 For pH7 Provided Services, pH7 acts as an online booking service of online medical appointments, which will be carried out by medical Practitioners under agreement with pH7, as Third Party Providers.

4.2. Our Practitioners are based in the EU. They are members of the appropriate regulatory body, and they are committed to clinical best practices and any related standards.

4.3 Our Practitioners are technically and deontologically independent and responsible for their acts, without being subject to any guidance from pH7.

4.4 Our Practitioners might have different opinions on some medical conditions or symptoms. This doesn't mean that the clinical services are at fault, it's normal for experts to have different views from time to time.

4.5 Your medical appointment will be arranged as soon as possible. We can't commit to offer consultations in a specific timeframe, or that a specific Practitioner will be available at a particular time.

4.6 To make sure we're giving you the best service we can, we’ll request your consent to allow us to record your appointment. To find out more about how we use this information and how we protect your privacy, see our privacy policy.

4.7 If you don't think you've been able to clearly share your medical needs during an appointment, you should speak to a Practitioner in person. If you're worried about any advice you've received, then you should book another consultation to discuss this.

FAQs: prescription delivery services

4.9 If you are prescribed any cannabis-based medicine, product or substance, you can apply for its dispensation through the pH7 application. However, you are completely free to choose the pharmacy of your preference, outside the App.

4.10. You are responsible for your own acts and omissions, which may mislead the clinical assessment during the medical consultation. You are also responsible for false statements that may result in a wrong clinical evaluation, including concealing or falsely indicating symptoms, using false personal data or identification, among others.

4.11 Search: You can search for Practitioners using criteria such as the type of Practitioner and clinical specialty. You can also use filters to refine your search results. Search results are based on relevance to your search and other criteria. Relevance considers factors such as price, availability, reviews, cancellation history, popularity and past appointments, among others.

4.12 Booking: By scheduling an appointment with a Practitioner, you agree to pay all costs of your consultation, including the consultation price, applicable fees, taxes and any other items identified during the payment process (collectively "Total Price"). When you receive confirmation of the consultation, a contract (sometimes called a consultation in these Terms) is formed directly between you and the Provider. The cancellation policy and any other rules, standards, policies or requirements identified in the Service to be performed by the Practitioner or during the payment process are part of your contract with the Practitioner.


5. Order and delivery of prescriptions


5.1. pH7 partners with Pharmacies that can fill your medical prescription and act as “Third Party Providers”. These Pharmacies aren't part of pH7 and we can't take responsibility for their acts or mistakes.

5.3. You can choose to have your medicine delivered to your home, or you can pick it up from a selected Pharmacy near you.
