Authorized Pharmacists, Authorized Non-Pharmacist Providers, Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Telemedicine Platform

Authorized Pharmacists

All pharmacists providing Healthcare Services or Informational Services, as defined below, (each an “Authorized Pharmacist”) are independent, regulated health professionals registered to practice medicine in a Province or Territory of Canada. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies is not a healthcare provider. Authorized Pharmacists alone are responsible for the Healthcare Services and Informational Services they provide through the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform.

To the extent permitted by the law in the Province or Territory in which you reside, Authorized Pharmacists may be located in your Province or Territory or another Province or Territory of Canada. If you want information about any particular Authorized Pharmacist, consult his or her profile on the register on the website of the medical regulator (in most Provinces, the “College of Pharmacists” of the Province), in the Province or Territory in which the pharmacist Practices.

Authorized Non-Pharmacist Providers

All non-pharmacist providers providing Healthcare Services or Informational Services, as defined below, (each an “Authorized Non-Pharmacist Provider”) are independent, regulated health professionals (such as psychotherapists or nurses) registered to provide healthcare in a Province or Territory of Canada. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies is not a healthcare provider. Authorized Non-Pharmacist Providers alone are responsible for the Healthcare Services and Informational Services they provide through the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform.

To the extent permitted by the law in the Province or Territory in which you reside, Authorized Non-Pharmacist Providers may be located in your Province or Territory or another Province or Territory of Canada. If you want information about any particular Authorized Non-Pharmacist Provider, consult his or her profile on the register on the website of the regulator (in most Provinces, named a “College”), in the Province or Territory in which the Non-pharmacist Provider Practices.

Services

Authorized Pharmacists and Authorized Non-Pharmacist Providers may provide two kinds of services through the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform: health care services (“Healthcare Services”) and/or general information about diseases and conditions and how they are treated in Canada (“Informational Services”).

Telemedicine is the delivery of health care and other services using interactive text, audio and video technology, where the patient and the pharmacist are not in the same physical location. During your telemedicine consultation with an Authorized Pharmacist or a Non-pharmacist Provider, you will be asked to provide the Authorized Pharmacist or Non-pharmacist Provider certain Personal Information including Personal Health Information (collectively referred to together as “Information”). When discussing Healthcare Services, information typically refers to Personal Health Information (“PHI”), and when discussing Informational Services, Information typically refers to information that is not specifically about you or your health, such as information in questions you would be comfortable asking of an expert during the call-in portion of a radio broadcast on health-related matters. PHI is not required for Informational services, and we advise you to not to submit PHI in the course of accessing Informational Services.

The type of services that are available to you through the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform depends on your province of residence and the location you are in at the time you request the services. This is because telemedicine is regulated by the Provinces and Territories and the rules differ or may differ from time to time, among the Provinces and Territories.

1) Healthcare Services, Limits on Healthcare Services
Healthcare Services will only be made available to you if you are a temporary or permanent resident of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Nunavut or Yukon, whether or not physically in the Province or Territory at the time that you request the Healthcare Services (“Residency Requirements”). The relationship between you and an Authorized Pharmacist providing Healthcare Services is a pharmacist-patient relationship. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies is not a party to that relationship. The relationship between you and an Authorized Non-Pharmacist Provider providing Healthcare Services is a provider-patient relationship. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies is not a party to that relationship.

There are restrictions on the Healthcare Services that can be provided through the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform. YOU MUST NOT USE THE Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies PLATFORM FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL NEEDS. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY OR ATTEND YOUR NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM.

The following symptoms are specifically excluded from the Healthcare Services: chest pains, difficulty breathing, fever in children under the age of 3 months, blackouts or feeling like you may blackout, any impairment in level of consciousness, stroke like symptoms such as impaired sensation or paralysis to one side of your body, inability to speak or comprehend language, any abdominal pain severe enough that you are unable to comfortably walk.

In addition to the limitations set out above, Authorized Pharmacists and Authorized Non-Pharmacist Providers are not permitted to prescribe certain kinds of medication including narcotics, controlled substances or other types of controlled medications, non-therapeutic drugs and other drugs which may be harmful because of their potential for abuse

YOU AGREE THAT ANY PRESCRIPTIONS YOU ACQUIRE FROM AN Authorized Pharmacist OR AN Authorized Non-Pharmacist PROVIDER ARE SOLELY FOR THE PERSONAL USE OF THE INDIVIDUAL NAMED ON THE PRESCRIPTION. YOU AGREE TO FULLY AND CAREFULLY READ ALL PROVIDED PRODUCT INFORMATION AND LABELS, AND TO CONTACT A pharmacist OR PHARMACIST IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PRESCRIPTION OR MEDICATION.

You should report any medication reactions, side effects or other adverse events to your family pharmacist 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. Do not report drug reactions, side effects or adverse events through the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform.

Authorized Pharmacists and Authorized Non-Pharmacist Providers have the discretion to refuse or discontinue the provision of Healthcare Services to any User at any time, including for actual or potential misuse of the Healthcare Services by a User.

Not a Replacement for Primary Care. Please note that interaction with an Authorized Pharmacist through the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform is not intended to take the place of appointments with your regular primary care provider. If you do not have an established relationship with a primary care provider, you are encouraged to develop one. You should seek emergency help or follow-up care when recommended by the Authorized Pharmacist. We do not provide your family pharmacist with a report about the Healthcare Services that you receive through the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform. So your family pharmacist can take into consideration these Healthcare Services, including any prescriptions, it is always advisable that you advise your pharmacist about the Healthcare Services you receive, including the issues that caused you to request them. As described below, the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform enables you to send a summary of your Healthcare Services to a pharmacist of your choice.

2) Informational Services. Limits on Informational Services

Informational Services are available to you whether or not you meet the Residency Requirements. Informational Services are for general educational purposes only (similar to advice that might be provided by a 3rd party medical expert on a phone in radio show), and are not Healthcare Services. The information provided will be disease or condition specific rather than patient specific and will not include diagnosis or treatment. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies is not a party to your relationship with an Authorized Pharmacist or an Authorized Non-Pharmacist Provider providing Informational Services.

Informational Services do not replace consultations with qualified medical or other relevant healthcare professionals. You agree that you bear all risk associated with the use of or reliance on Informational Services, and release and hold Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies, Authorized Pharmacists, and Authorized Non-Pharmacist Providers providing Informational Services harmless from and against any claim, demand, action, cause of action, damage, loss, cost, liability or expense, including reasonable legal fees, which may be made or brought against or incurred or suffered by Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies or an Authorized Pharmacist, or an Authorized Non-Pharmacist Provider directly or indirectly as a result of, in respect of, or arising out of your reliance on Informational Services.

Authorized Pharmacists and Authorized Non-Pharmacist Providers have the discretion to refuse or discontinue the provision of some or all Informational Services to any User at any time, including for actual or potential misuse of the Informational Services by a User and where the information being requested is not general information but in the nature of a diagnosis or treatment.

Fees/pharmacist Payment/ Payment Options

Like certain other health professional services, Healthcare Services are provided for a fee. The fees for Healthcare Services are only for those elements of Healthcare Services not covered by the provincial health plan in your Province or Territory of residence. We do not charge for services that are covered by provincial health plans. Where you have questions about fees charged for Healthcare Services, please contact us.

You understand that you will be charged a fee for any Healthcare Services and/or Informational Services you receive from an Authorized Pharmacist and/or an Authorized Non-Pharmacist Provider, unless the fees are paid by someone else (e.g. your employer) as permitted under these Terms. There are two options available for payment: pay-per-visit or membership. These options are described below.

We charge Authorized Pharmacists and Authorized Non-Pharmacist Providers a service fee for using the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform which we deduct from the fees paid for Healthcare Services and Informational Services. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies facilitates payment of the fees to the Authorized Pharmacist or Authorized Non-Pharmacist Provider. 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 Authorized Pharmacist or Authorized Non-Pharmacist Provider. All fees for Healthcare Services and Informational Services are in Canadian dollars and inclusive of all applicable taxes.

Pay-per-visit option: You may pay the fees for Healthcare Services and Informational Services (“Fees”) at the time you request Healthcare Services and/or Informational Services. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies requires you to submit credit card information prior to any Healthcare Services or Informational Services being provided to you for the purpose of validation of the card. You will not be able to begin accessing Healthcare Services or Informational Services through the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform if the credit card information you provide is inaccurate and/or if your credit card is declined at the point of validation. You agree that Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies, on behalf of Authorized Pharmacists and Authorized Non-Pharmacist Providers, may validate your credit card and put a hold on it in the amount of the Fees. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies will notify you of any applicable Fees and will only have the charge processed to your credit card after you have obtained the corresponding Healthcare Services or Informational Services. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies will provide you with a receipt for the Fees you pay.

Membership option: Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies may allow you to purchase access to certain specified Healthcare Services or Informational Services during a fixed membership term for a flat fee (“Membership Fee”). Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies will notify you of the applicable Membership Fee and the Healthcare Services and Informational Services that are covered by the Membership Fee in any given year, and will have the Membership Fee processed to your credit card before the first time you obtain Healthcare Services or Informational Services under your membership. For the duration of your membership, you will not be charged additional fees for any Healthcare Services or Informational Services covered by your membership. The only additional fees would be for Healthcare Services or Informational Services you request that are outside of your membership and accordingly not covered by your Membership Fee. For access to Healthcare Services or Informational Services not covered by your membership, you must use the pay-per-visit-option. Your membership will automatically renew until cancelled by you in the Billing section of your Account Settings. In the event of an increase in the Membership Fee, we will notify you in advance, and ask whether you want to continue your membership. Your Membership Fees are non-refundable, except where Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies terminates your access to the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform, in which case Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies will give you a pro rata refund of your Membership Fee. For clarity, Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies will refund the portion of your Membership Fee corresponding to the number of months remaining on your membership on the date of termination.

Third Party Payment/Coverage

Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies may permit a Third Party (e.g. employer) to pay the Fees and/or Membership Fees for some or all of the Healthcare Services or Informational Services provided to a User or group of Users. In these circumstances, Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies has a contract with the Third Party, under which the Third Party discloses the name and contact information, including the email address, of the User or Users who have agreed to register with Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies to obtain Healthcare Services and/or Informational Services, and for whom the Third Party will pay the Fees or Membership Fees for some or all of the Healthcare Services or Informational Services they receive. The payment option will be determined by the Third Party and Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies is not a party to and has no control over the agreement between any User and a Third Party payer. Coverage by a Third Party does not release a User from the obligation to comply with these Terms except the Terms related to his or her direct payment of the Fees or Membership Fees. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies will inform Users of any changes to or termination of their Third Party coverage. Users whose Third Party coverage is terminated may be given the option of continuing to use the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform under their existing account so long as they pay the Fees or Membership Fees.

Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Program, Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Purchasing Credit Program, Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Gift Card Program

The Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Program allows Users to earn credits towards future Fees (“Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits”) by referring friends to Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies. Credits can also be purchased in exchange for cash directly through the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Platform as part of the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Purchasing Credit Program (“Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Cash Credits“).
How to earn Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits: Users can earn Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits if: (i) a referred friend clicks on their referral link to create a valid Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies account; and (ii) the referred friend provides and verifies their email address and phone number as part of the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies registration process. The referring User will be credited with Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits in the amount described in the Credits section in the User’s Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Account Settings. There is no maximum amount of credits a User can earn.

Redeeming Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits and Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Cash Credits: Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits and Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Cash Credits will automatically appear as a coupon on the checkout page at any time Fees are due for Healthcare Services and/or Information Services. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits must be used within 24 months from the date they are issued. After 24 months, the Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits will expire. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Cash Credits do not expire. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits and Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Cash Credits may not be transferred or exchanged for any cash or money. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits may not be earned by creating multiple Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies accounts. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits and/or Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Cash Credits accrued in separate Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies accounts may not be combined into one Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies account.

Sharing referral links: Referrals should only be used for personal and non-commercial purposes, and only shared with personal connections that will appreciate receiving these invitations. Referral links should not be published or distributed where there is no reasonable basis for believing that all or most of the recipients are personal friends. The Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies referral process does not send an electronic message from an electronic address.

Referred friends: Referred friends that have created a Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies account using a valid referral link will also receive Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits towards Fees. The standard Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies referral credit is $5.00 (five Canadian dollars), but may vary in some cases, for example if the referred friend signed up as part of a special promotion. The applicable credit amounts and additional terms and conditions will be provided in the referral invitation or accompanying materials.

Multiple referrals: A referred friend may only use one referral link. If a referred friend receives referral links from multiple Users, only the User who sent the referral link used by the referred friend will receive Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits.

Termination and Change: Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies may suspend or terminate the Referral Program or a User’s or referred friend’s participation and/or right to participate in the Referral Program at any time for any reason. We reserve the right to suspend accounts or remove Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies Referral Credits if we notice any activity that we believe is abusive or fraudulent. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies has the right but not the obligation to monitor referral activities, and to suspend accounts or modify referrals as deemed fair and appropriate. Norfolk Pharmacy & Surgical Supplies accepts no liability as a result of either monitoring or not monitoring referral activities.
