These Website Terms of Sale - Online Physiotherapy (B2C) are designed for physiotherapists to provide services online for their patients.
There is an attachment to the main body of the terms. Everything that the physiotherapist is able to provide online can be outlined in that attachment. For example, the physiotherapist can provide advice,
guidance and information; they can examine, assess, diagnose, triage, or take a case
history; they can explain, prescribe or demonstrate exercises and movements, or watch the patient carry out exercises and movements.
Whatever is offered, in every case the services are provided by the physiotherapist through the provision of both online streamed sessions which are live (one way or two way) or recorded
(one way) and downloadable background and other materials. All of the services and information is made available in return for a single Subscription payment.
This template provides that, for video streaming, the physiotherapist and the patient will use a cloud-based web conferencing
platform (such as Zoom or Physitrack). Most of the provisions specifically relating to
use of a video streaming platform are in the attachment. If a platform
other than Zoom is to be used, the attachment can easily be adapted as
necessary.
The physiotherapist may be a self-employed individual (sole trader), in
which case he/she will contract personally on these terms and conditions
with the patient. However, where the provider is a company or partnership
which engages a physiotherapist to provide the services, it will contract
with the patient. In each case the patient will be contracting as a
consumer, not as a business patient.
This document provides for the Subscription to cover single or multiple sessions and the accompanying downloadable background and other text/graphics/images.
Each video streamed session may be in any of the following formats:
(a) Live private one-to-one session which only one patient can access. It is “two way” so that the physiotherapist and patient can see, hear and talk to each other. This session can be tailored to the needs of the particular patient;
(b) Pre-recorded physiotherapy session capable of being accessed on demand at any
time/s by one or more patients when convenient to each patient. Its nature is such that it is a “one way”
event with no communication between patient and physiotherapist;
(c) Live “one way” session (where no patient can communicate with the
physiotherapist or any other patient). This can be accessed by one or more
patients at the same time. If the live session is also recorded by the
physiotherapist, it can then also be made accessible for patients as a
session available as outlined at "(b)" above;
(d) Live group session where a number of patients access it at the same
time and it is “two way” so that patients can, in real time, see, hear, and
be seen and heard by the physiotherapist, and, if the physiotherapist
permits, each other. This might lend itself to a lecture or discussion about aspects of physiotherapy rather than treatment of, or discussion about, any of the participants. (The physiotherapist will probably want to limit the
number of patients who have access on each occasion to a manageable
number if the physiotherapist needs or expects to have substantial
interaction with patients in the online session).
This document anticipates that everything that the physiotherapist
sells on these terms via its website will be provided
online only. No tangible items such as books (or other materials) in paper form, CDs, or DVDs will be supplied
on these terms.
Under these Terms of Sale, the patient has to set up an Account before
purchasing any sessions. He/she can do so without charge and without
committing to purchase any content. He/she can then purchase a
Subscription comprising any video sessions and other materials offered on your website.
Each Subscription provides access
to a relevant session on a specific date (if live) or during a stated
period (if pre-recorded) as well as to the background and other materials. The sessions, dates and periods in each case
should be defined on your website in an appropriate place and confirmed in
the patient’s order details.
These Terms of Sale guide the patient through the order process, explaining
the formation of the contract between you and them for the Subscription,
also setting out details about the content and its availability and
provision, pricing, payment and licensing.
Particular attention should be given to descriptions when selling
content. This should be reflected in the definition of “Paid Content” and
elsewhere in these terms and also in the information available on the
website or given to a patient before they sign up for a Subscription.
Cancellation rights are addressed in detail in the terms, including the
14-day cooling off period granted to consumers under the 2013 Consumer
Contracts Regulations.
Further key provisions deal with liability, patient complaints (with
reference to complaints handling policies and procedures, templates for
which are also available from Simply-Docs), contact information, and data
protection.
This template applies only to the sale of content, leaving the terms
governing the use of the website itself to a separate document.
Optional phrases / clauses are enclosed in square brackets. These should be
read carefully and selected so as to be compatible with one another. Unused
options should be removed from the document.
