Upguys Terms Of Use

Effective as of: March 15, 2021

Welcome to Upguys! These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Upguys website, services, and applications (the "Service").

UPRX ("Upguys," "we", "our", or "us") operates the proprietary website upguys.com that allows users ("User", "Users", "you", or "your") to create an account online profile ("Account"), get connected to licenced practitioners, place prescription orders, view personal prescription history, add personal medical information, schedule shipment of medication and personal health products, and chat via secure messaging with certified pharmacists. The Service is intended to provide easy access to medication, medical advice and online pharmacy support.

The Service also enables Users who are healthcare practitioners to see those profiles of Users who have given explicit permission, and to contact them about prescription orders. If you are a healthcare professional using the Service on behalf of a pharmacy, then you are agreeing to these Terms and "User", "Users", "you" and "your" also refer to you.

These Terms together with the Privacy Notice are the entire agreement between you and us. Your use of the Service is voluntary. By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms, to comply with them and to indemnify us for any failure by you to comply. If you do not agree to these Terms and the Privacy Notice, please do not use the Service.

Your Account

When you sign up to become a User, you will have to register by creating a unique Account. We collect your "Personal Information", information that can be used to uniquely identify you, and a password to create your Account and to authenticate you when you sign in. The information you provide in your Account is necessary to confirm your identity, set up delivery address, and to enable healthcare providers to contact you regarding prescription orders. For information on how we manage and protect your Personal Information, please see our Privacy Notice. Your Personal Information may also be provided to the healthcare practitioners to whom we connect you.

Service and Medical Advice

Registered healthcare professionals (including pharmacists from licensed pharmacies and medical practitioners) provide health recommendations to Users via Upguys secure chat or over the phone.

Other than your direct communications with pharmacists, content found on the Service or linked to the Service, such as websites, text, graphics, images, messages, information obtained from third parties, and other material may contain medical and health information. Such information is for informational purposes only, and is not intended to be a substitute for a medical examination or a medical practitioner's advice, diagnosis or treatment, nor is it intended to constitute general health advice on which reliance should be placed. We therefore disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by any User or by anyone who may be informed of the contents of such materials.

If you have a medical emergency, call your practitioner, 911 or your medical emergency number immediately.
