The Service will automatically transmit your location which will be communicated with a nearby, on-call Doctor, who will then be dispatched to your location. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service shall be subject to the Terms.

The Service is available via the Site. Access to the Site is available through the internet or via the Mobile Applications. You are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Site or the Mobile Application.

Your use of the Geo-Location Services is subject to Google’s then current Terms of Use for Google Maps/Google Earth and by using the Geo-Location Services, you are agreeing to be bound by Google’s Terms of Use.

GPDQ medical related services begin with an in-person meeting between you and a Doctor, at a location of your choosing. The Applications and Site are exclusively for account management and physician requests only. No medical care or advice shall be provided directly to you from our Applications or our Site, and you should not provide any health information using our Applications or Site.

GPDQ connects you with nearby Doctors. These Doctors shall be on-call licensed healthcare medical service providers, and connecting with them allows them to diagnose and deliver medical treatments in-person. GPDQ performs thorough background checks on Doctors to ensure that they: are not currently, nor have they been, party to a professional negligence case; that they have not been convicted of any relevant or significant crime or criminal activity; and that they are in current good standing with the General Medical Council.

The Doctors that GPDQ connects you with are not employees of GPDQ. GPDQ is not a provider of healthcare services and takes no part in your medical diagnosis and/or treatment. You should consult with your regular general practitioner as necessary and before seeking any new treatment or before you alter, suspend or initiate any change in your medical treatment, medication routine or healthcare related procedure or activity. Do not disregard medical advice issued to you by your regular general practitioner.

GPDQ does not recommend self-diagnosis or self-medication, and no information within this website or presented by GPDQ may be construed or interpreted as recommending self-diagnosis or self-medication. The Health Guidance notes available on our website do not contain or constitute medical advice.

Individuals with health disorders, medical conditions, or any condition needing medical supervision assume full responsibility for obtaining such professional medical assistance.

GPDQ retains full rights to refuse its services.

GPDQ is committed to providing a high quality of care for our patients. The welfare of patients and staff alike relies on establishing a good relationship between the patients and those working at GPDQ. Therefore, in order to protect both the staff and patients, we respectfully point out that the following inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated:-

The Practice has a policy of zero tolerance towards such behaviour, particularly threatening or violent behaviour towards anyone associated with our services, and we reserve the right to terminate an appointment and leave the premises (and call for police assistance if deemed necessary) with anyone behaving in such a manner. We also reserve the right to request the removal from our Practice List of patients involved in any of the behaviour outlined above.

Services provided via GPDQ are provided direct to consumers. We do not accept insurance or other health coverage as payment and the Services may not be covered under any health benefit plan or insurance coverage plan. You will be fully responsible for all fees incurred by you through your use of the Services provided by the Site and/or the Applications. You are solely responsible for all charges incurred by using our Service, including your in-person visits from a Doctor. You are not liable for any charges beyond those specifically set out and charged for the Services you are accessing through this Site and pursuant to these Terms.

“Pay Per Use” fees refer to the charges for services rendered on a Pay Per Use model, that is, services delivered on a single or recurring basis, without an active membership.

Usage of the Service requires a valid credit card, and all the billing will automatically be performed by GPDQ on behalf of the Doctors, per the total services rendered and accepted according to the standard pricing guides. Charges on your credit card will appear to be from “GPDQ Limited”.

There are fixed fees that will be charged depending on the services provided, starting with a standard fee for having a doctor come to you and for a basic examination and prescription. On certain times and days, additional after-hours, off hours, or weekend fees may also apply. The list of standard fees is available on the Site and via the Mobile Application. The Doctors will also disclose all of the fees prior to rendering the medical services.

Once you have requested a Doctor through the mobile app, a cancellation charge of 50% of the appointment fee applies if you cancel the request more than 5 minutes after booking. If you book an appointment through the website, you can cancel for no charge up to 24 hours before the appointment. Appointments cancelled less than 24 hours before will be charged 100% of the appointment fee. Alternatively, you can reschedule your appointment once for no extra charge.

Once you have received medical services from a Doctor, you will not be able to terminate your request (as the service has already been provided), and all fees are due immediately and non-refundable. This no refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate your usage, our decision to terminate your usage, or any disruption caused to the Service (either planned, intentional, accidental, or for any reason whatsoever). In the event that an excess charge is made, please contact support using the contact details set out below and GPDQ will endeavour to investigate and, if appropriate, process the refund within 14 days of receipt from you of notice of the excess charge. GPDQ reserves the right to determine final prevailing pricing for the Services (the “Prevailing Pricing”). Although GPDQ makes every effort to ensure that the pricing information published on the Site or Applications reflects the Prevailing Pricing we make no guarantee that this is the case and it is your responsibility to confirm the Prevailing Pricing if you have any doubts in this regard.

You are not liable for any charges or fees if the Doctor declines your visit for any reason.

By signing up for GPDQ and using our service, you are not entering into a general practitioner/patient relationship with GPDQ. You may be entering into a general practitioner/patient relationship with a Doctor that GPDQ connects you with, who may request information about your medical history and may ask personal medical questions and inquire as to your physical status (collectively referred to herein as “Medical History”).

The Medical History will be maintained by the Doctor in accordance with our policy. We take the retention of medical records very seriously and will use the best possible data protections to ensure that your Medical History remains confidential. The Doctor’s use and protection of your Medical History will be further described in his/her notice of privacy practices.

If an appointment requires an intimate or personal examination, a chaperone must be present. It is the Patient’s responsibility to ensure that they have a friend or family member present to act as a chaperone during the examination. The chaperone will be required to sign the medical notes after the appointment. If no chaperone has been arranged by the Patient then the Doctor is within his rights not to proceed with any intimate or personal examinations and no refund will be applicable.

You understand that there is no guarantee that a Doctor will prescribe any medication at all, and that specific treatments or therapy are not guaranteed. You understand that all Doctors will operate in a professional manner and in accordance with relevant state regulations, laws and codes, and medical ethics requirements that have been established.

You understand all Doctors reserve the right to refuse to provide services if they believe that there is potential for misuse of services, if they feel that their life may in any way be threatened or jeopardised, or as otherwise required by law or reasonable medical ethics concerns.

Doctors are responsible for complying with regulatory and local requirements relating to professional negligence and liability insurance. All interactions with Doctors are made solely between you and the Doctor at GPDQ shall have no involvement in or responsibility for such interactions save for using the Service to make the initial connection between you and the relevant Doctor. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that GPDQ shall have no responsibility in relation to your interaction with any Doctor save as expressly set out in these Terms, and you agree to not hold GPDQ liable in any way for any cause of action that may arise between you and a Doctor as a result of your interaction with that Doctor, including any claim relating to professional negligence or substandard treatment the Doctor may provide.
