IF YOU HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR DOCTOR OR REACH OUT FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES.

THE SERVICE PROVIDES GENERAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS INFORMATION AND A MEANS TO INTERACT WITH PRACTITIONERS. IT DOES NOT REPLACE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ANY PRACTITIONER OR SERVICE, AND VL, ITSELF, DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL OR HEALTH ADVICE, CARE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. NONE OF THE CONTENT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MEDICAL ADVICE OR AN ENDORSEMENT, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT ANY PARTICULAR MEDICATION OR TREATMENT IS SAFE, APPROPRIATE, OR EFFECTIVE FOR YOU.

SERVICE DESCRIPTION

1. The Service facilitates connection between you and healthcare and wellness professionals (“Experts”) including a means to obtain video-chat or electronic messaging consultations (“Teleconsultation”) between you and Experts for a range of issues. Teleconsultation with doctors for medical advice is referred to as “Telemedicine”. The Service DOES NOT include medical services and is limited to the provision of the platform to connect with Experts.
2. The Service also provides individuals accessing it with general educational information pertaining to health, wellness and career related topics through eLearning courses and through the website and/or email (“Content”). It is your choice to rely/not rely on the Content. You shall not hold VL liable for reliance on any Content or for any consequence arising out of such reliance.
3. The Service also provides users with one-on-one and small group coaching and training (each a “Session”) by professionals on a range of topics and issues.

Coaching Sessions pertaining to exercise are taught by trained instructors.
4. The Service also runs events (“Events”) both online as well as physical. These events range from Expert talks, Q&A sessions to community and peer meetups. Depending on your needs, VL’s Experts may provide you with, among other things: peer-to-peer support, encouragement, education, instruction and practical tips to help in your transition to parenthood, as well as healthcare and wellness services via in-person, phone or video chat Sessions. You can attend a Session in the comfort and convenience of your home, office, or workplace.

VL is not responsible for the availability or content, products, services or other materials of these other websites or for any viruses or other damaging elements encountered in linking to a third-party website. In addition, providing links to these websites should not be interpreted as endorsement or approval by VL of the organizations sponsoring such third-party websites or their products or services.

TELECONSULTATION NOTICES

You may not record, directly or indirectly, in any media your interactions with Experts through the Service.

We do not warrant or make any representations that the Service is the appropriate channel of consultation for your particular problem, or meets your specific requirements. Due to the nature of the Teleconsultation (e.g. healthcare delivered over video consultation instead of a physical face-to-face setting), the Expert reserves the right to terminate any Teleconsultation should their assessment be that they are unable to deliver the appropriate standard of care and/or service to the user.

The Experts using the Service for the teleconsultation, reserve the right to terminate any consultation should he/she/they decide that the minimum standards for a Telemedicine consultation cannot be met, such as but are not limited to, poor internet connectivity, poor lighting and/or noise disruptions. It will be your responsibility to ensure you are located in a private and quiet location with conditions favourable for conducting the consultation. VL will not be responsible for the termination of any Teleconsultation on the basis that the minimum standards for a Teleconsultation could not be met.

VL and the Experts reserve the right to conduct adequate identification checks at any point before or during the Teleconsultation and to terminate any Telemedicine consultation should the user fail, or fail to participate, in the identification check.

If an Expert assesses that it is necessary to have a face-to-face evaluation/consultation with the patient before or very soon after commencement of Teleconsultation, or if the patient is advised to seek medical or emergency care, the patient is advised to follow this advice. VL and/or the Experts will not be responsible for the user’s failure to do so.

INDEPENDENCE OF EXPERTS

The Experts utilizing or featured on the Service are independent professionals. They are not employees of VL. All requests for teleconsultation shall be subject to Experts’ acceptance in his/her sole discretion and each teleconsultation accepted by an Expert shall constitute a separate agreement between the Expert and you, to which neither VL nor our affiliates are a party to.

VL does not practice medicine or any other licensed profession, and does not interfere with the practice of medicine or any other licensed profession by the Experts, each of whom is responsible for his or her services and compliance with the requirements applicable to his or her profession and license. To the extent medical advice is provided to you by a health care provider through the Service, such medical advice is based on your personal health data as provided by you to the health care provider and the local standards of care for your presenting symptoms, based on the information you provide. You are responsible for the correctness and accuracy of the information, particulars, statements, photographs, laboratory test results or diagnostic images furnished by you to VL and/or the Expert.

The medical advice provided by your healthcare provider is not under the control of VL. Your obtaining services from the Expert is solely at your own risk. Neither VL nor any third parties who promote the Services or provide you with a link to the Service shall be liable for any professional advice or any malpractice or substandard service you obtain from an Expert via the Service.

Any opinions, advice, or information expressed by an Expert using or featured on the Service are of the Expert’s alone. They do not reflect the opinions of VL. VL does not recommend or endorse any specific tests, providers, products, procedures, medications, devices, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on the Service or by a licensee of VL.

The inclusion of Experts on the Service or in any professional directory located on the Service does not imply recommendation or endorsement of such Expert nor is such information intended as a tool for verifying the credentials, qualifications, or abilities of any Expert contained therein. Such information is provided on an “as-is” basis and VL disclaims all warranties, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for particular purpose. VL shall in no event be liable to you or to anyone for any decision made or action taken by any party (including, without limitation, any Service user) in reliance on information about Experts on the Service. The use of the Service by any entity or individual to verify the credentials of Experts is prohibited.

PERTAINING TO TELEMEDICINE 

The diagnosis, prescription of medicine and issuance of medical certificates (MCs) and memos provided to the user are subject to each doctor’s professional judgment and the precise circumstances of each presenting case.

You may be issued with a prescription for medicine and may be prompted to use delivery services for delivery or fulfilment of prescription medicines. You are under no obligation to purchase any prescribed medication. The prescription and medicine will be delivered to your physical location by the doctor’s or VL’s designated courier service.

If you elect to collect your prescription and/or medicine from the registered doctor’s clinic, the responsibility for collecting your prescription and/or medicine in a timely fashion lies with you, and neither VL nor the registered doctors and staff will be responsible for your failure to do so.

You shall (i) comply with any instructions given in relation to any prescription provided to you including, in particular, route, timing and dosages; (ii) promptly report any side effects of any prescription to a doctor; (iii) check the labels of the medication prescribed to verify the medication matches the prescription before consuming the medication delivered; (iv) protect anything prescribed to you and not permit any other person access to the prescribed medication; and (v) not use any prescription after its expiry date.

Please note that any medicine that is deemed a ‘controlled drug’ is strictly prohibited from being delivered by our designated courier service.
