E-therapy Terms of Use

Use of the Site
E-therapy Limited(“E-therapy”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website located at  www.e-therapy.uk. We offer online telehealth services (the “Services”) enabling our members (“Members”) to report their health history and engage healthcare professionals (“Treating Providers”) to obtain health and wellbeing services (“Services”). By accessing and then using this Site you agree to abide by these Terms of Use and all other terms and policies that appear on the Site. If you do not wish to be bound by any of these Terms of Use, you may not use the Services or the Site.

Healthcare Services
All of the listed Treating Providers who provide Services through E-therapy are independent professionals who are solely responsible for the services each provides to you. E-therapy does not practice allopathic medicine, naturopathic medicine, nutritional therapy, psychology/psychotherapy, counselling or any other licensed profession, and does not interfere with the practice of allopathic medicine, naturopathic medicine, nutritional therapy psychology/psychotherapy, counselling or any alternative licensed profession by the Treating Providers, each of whom is responsible for his / her services and compliance with the requirements relevant to his or her profession and license. Neither E-therapy nor any third parties who promote the Services or those who provide you with a link to the Service shall be held liable for any professional consultation you receive from a Treating Provider via the Services.

  • Site Content.
    None of the site content (other than info you receive from the Treating Providers) should be treated as medical advice or a representation, endorsement or warranty that any specific medication or treatment is safe, effective, or appropriate for you.
  • Informed Consent.
    • Telehealth is the distribution of health and wellbeing services using interactive video and audio technology, where the health care professional and client are not in the same physical venue. During your telehealth consultation with a Treating Provider, details of your personal health information and health history may be discussed with you through the use of interactive audio, video and other telecommunications technology, and a physical examination may be performed by your Treating Provider through these technologies.
    • The telehealth Services you will receive from the Treating Providers are not intended to replace your relationship with a primary care physician, or become your permanent medical home. You should look for emergency assistance or follow-up care when advocated by a Treating Provider or when otherwise needed, and continue to speak with your primary care physician and other healthcare professionals as advocated. The benefits of our Services include better access to healthcare professionals, as well as convenience. However, as with any health service, there are possible risks associated with the usage of telehealth. These include the following risks, but may not be limited to:
      • Delays in evaluation and / or treatment could occur due to failures of any electronic equipment involved. If this happens, you may be contacted by phone or other means of communication.
      • Although the electronic systems we make use of will incorporate network and software security protocols to safeguard the security and privacy of health information, security protocols could fail in rare instances, potentially producing a breach of privacy of personal health information.
    • By accepting these Terms of Use, you acknowledge that you understand and agree with the following:
      • You understand that in your care you may expect the anticipated benefits from the use of telehealth, but that results cannot be guaranteed or assured.
      • You understand that the laws that protect the security and privacy of health information also apply to telehealth. Electronic communications are aimed at your Treating Provider(s) and their supervisees through an encrypted, secure, video interface and digital health record.
      • If your health insurance cover doesn’t include or isn’t sufficient to satisfy the Services charges in full, you may be partially or fully for payment.
      • Your Treating Provider may decide that the Services are not recommended for some or all of your treatment needs, and accordingly may choose not to provide telehealth services to you through this Site.
      • In terms of psychotherapy, you are designated to receive information from your Treating Provider about the techniques of therapy, the extent of your therapy (if known), and the pricing structure. You can also contact another therapist for a second opinion, or terminate therapy at any time.
    • With respect to psychotherapy, if you and your Treating Provider make the decision to participate in couples or group therapy (collectively “Group Therapy”), you understand that info discussed in Group Therapy is intended for therapeutic purposes, and not for use in any legal proceedings involving Group Therapy participants. You agree not to witness summons the Treating Provider to testify for or against any other Group Therapy participants, nor give records in court actions against any other Group Therapy participants. You understand that anything any Group Therapy participant tells the Treating Provider on an individual basis, whether on the phone or otherwise, may at the therapist’s discretion be communicated to the other Group Therapy participants. You agree to share responsibility with the Treating Provider for the process of therapy, including goal setting and termination.
    • You can send messages to your Treating Provider by contacting our Customer Support department at support@e-therapy.uk. Electronic messages to Customer Support or your Treating Provider may not be replied to immediately. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, you should call the appropriate emergency service numbers or go to the nearest emergency department.
