Terms of Service
Last Modified: August 6, 2025
These terms of service, together with any documents incorporated by reference, (collectively, the "Terms") are entered into by and between you and Spurose Inc. ("us," "we," "our" or the "Company"). These Terms grant you access to, offer and govern your use of the website, applications, and other offerings provided we provide in connection with the platform offered through www.spurose.ca (our "Services" or the "Platform").
BY USING THE SERVICES OR BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND AND COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND ALL OTHER TERMS AND POLICIES INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS, USE OR MAKE ANY PURCHASES THROUGH THE SERVICES.
YOU MAY NOT ORDER OR OBTAIN PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FROM THE SERVICES IF YOU (A) DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, (B) ARE NOT AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE, OR (C) ARE PROHIBITED FROM ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES, OR ANY RELATED SERVICE OR CONTENT, BY APPLICABLE LAW.
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are the legal age of majority under applicable law to form a binding contract with the Company and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Services.
Updates to These Terms
We may update these Terms (in our sole discretion) periodically, so we encourage you to check our Services for updates. All revisions become effective immediately at the time we post them. Your continued use of the Services after the posting of such updated Terms means you accept and agree to the changes, and you will be bound by such updated Terms going forward if you continue using our Services. We also reserve the right to change our Services and any related elements at our sole discretion.
Our Role
We help connect healthcare professionals and service providers with people seeking their services. The people using our Platform are either "Customers" or "Providers". "Providers" offer Customers the healthcare services they seek through our Platform, and "Customers" use our Platform to obtain healthcare services from Providers.
We do not offer or provide any healthcare services offered or provided by Providers in connection with our Services. Accordingly, neither we nor our personnel are health care practitioners, health information custodians (as that term is defined in the Personal Health Information Protection Act and other similar legislation) or agents of such persons.
Ultimately, we simply provide a platform for Providers and Customers to connect.
Your Access & Account
When using our Services, Customers must register for a Customer account, and Providers must register for a Provider account. When creating an account on our Platform, you will be asked to provide certain information, including your contact information (such as your name and email address) and payment information (if you are purchasing something through our Platform). All information collected by us will be handled in accordance with our privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy"), and you represent and warrant the information you provide is current, complete and correct.
The Online Aspect of Our Platform
Each province and territory in Canada has its own rules about who can provide healthcare services and under what conditions. Depending on where a Customer lives, the Provider delivering care may be located outside a Customer's province or territory. We typically indicate a Provider's location on our website.
If you don't have a primary care provider, we recommend finding one. We do not share details about how Customers use our Platform with their primary care providers unless they request it. We encourage Customers to let their provider know about any care they receive through the Platform.
Additional Terms for Providers
Providers are solely responsible for how they use the Services and the information they collect while using our Platform. That means Providers are responsible for compliance with all rules, laws and regulations applicable to their use of the Services and their relationships with Customers. Licensed healthcare professionals using the Platform are fully responsible for all medical and clinical services, including maintaining standards of care, keeping records, and meeting professional obligations. All diagnoses, treatments, prescriptions, and other healthcare services will be provided or supervised solely by these professionals, at their discretion.
For all Services rendered to a Platform Customer, Providers are required to invoice and accept payment through the Platform. We deduct 20% from all payments (our "Fee") processed through the Platform, and the remainder (net of processing fees) (the "Provider's Fee") shall be remitted to the appropriate Provider. Providers are responsible for providing correct and accurate payment information to us, which we will use to deliver the Provider's Fee. A "Platform Customer" means a person seeking health care services, who Provider is first introduced to or connected with via the Platform.
Providers are independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement will be deemed or construed as creating a joint venture, partnership, agency relationship, or franchise between us and a Provider. Accordingly, Providers may choose which Platform Customers they provide their services to, and Providers may, in their discretion, discontinue the services they provide to a Platform Customer. Neither party, by virtue of these Terms, will have any right, power, or authority to act or create an obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party.
Any Providers who hold themselves out as being licensed healthcare professionals represent and warrant that they hold all necessary licenses relating to their claims and are in good standing with the relevant licensing (or otherwise governing) body.
Additional Terms for Customers
Customers acknowledge that they are solely responsible for how they use the Services, and we do not make any representations or warranties with respect to the skills, abilities or suitability of any Provider. Each Customer further acknowledges that Providers are solely responsible for the information that such Customer delivers to a Provider while using our Services.
Additionally, no results can be guaranteed or assured in connection with services provided by Providers, and Providers may (a) to choose not to provide their services to you, or (b) refuse to continue providing their services to you. Providers have discretion over who they choose to provide their services to, and Customers may only request such services for themselves (and not on behalf of another person).
For all services rendered by a Platform Provider, Customers are required to pay for such services through the Platform, and those payments must be made before any services are delivered by a Platform Provider. A "Platform Provider" means a person providing health care services, who Customer is first introduced to or connected with via the Platform.
You, as a Customer, represent and warrant that (i) the payment information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such payment mechanism for the purchase, (iii) charges incurred by you will be honoured by you and any relevant third party (e.g. a credit card company), and (iv) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including all applicable taxes, if any, regardless of the amount quoted on the Services at the time of your order.
All Customers acknowledge and agree that the Services are not a replacement for emergency medical care. If such care is required, Customers must seek guidance from the appropriate healthcare provider and may need to attend the nearest hospital.
Customers may not seek treatment for any of the following symptoms through the Platform:
- 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
