Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully before using CloudRx.
This agreement is a legally binding contract. It may change as our business changes, and you agree you will review it and any updates regularly.
These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and CloudRx and its affiliates and subsidiaries ("CloudRx", "we", "us"). "You" and "users" shall mean (in each case as the context requires): (i) all healthcare practitioners and their agents who use CloudRx (“HCP Users”); and (ii) patients to whom we dispense medications, but solely in relation to the payment and delivery of those medications, and your use of our website (“Patient Users”). You accept these Terms by registering on our website at www.cloudrx.co.uk, and each time you access CloudRx thereafter, or when you complete a delivery order for medications with us (as applicable). If you do not accept these Terms, you must not use CloudRx.
No changes to the Terms are valid unless agreed in writing by CloudRx or in accordance with the rest of the clause.
We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version to this web page. You should visit this page periodically to review the most current Terms, because you are bound by them. Your continued use of CloudRx after a change to these Terms constitutes your binding acceptance of these Terms.
The terms "post" and "posting" as used in these Terms shall mean the act of submitting, uploading, publishing, displaying, or similar action on CloudRx.
"Health-related information" means all individually identifiable health information, including demographic information and information related to a patient’s physical or mental health, the provision of health care to the patient, or the patient’s payment for the provision of health care.
"Healthcare practitioner" means a registered medical practitioner who is legally permitted to authorise the supply of Prescription Only Medicines as defined by the Medicines Act 1968, who accesses and uses the Online Prescribing System.
"CloudRx" is defined as any software under CloudRx's control, whether partial or otherwise, in connection with CloudRx providing a platform for HCP Users to prescribe medication and to store and process health-related information about patients, as well as to store information about the HCP Users themselves in connection with the foregoing purposes, and for Patient Users to arrange for the payment and delivery of their prescribed medications, including the website cloudrx.co.uk through which the platform can be accessed.
CloudRx does not provide any prescribing services. We provide healthcare practitioners with a platform to do so. The information and materials available through the CloudRx prescribing system are not intended to constitute professional advice, diagnosis or treatment, or to substitute your professional judgment. You assume full risk and responsibility for the use of information you obtain from or through the CloudRx prescribing system. You will be solely responsible for the professional and technical services you provide to patients. In addition, we do not recommend or endorse any provider of health care or health-related products, items, or services other than dispensing service provided through our affiliates.
You agree to comply with any additional terms required by our affiliates as necessary, to use parts of CloudRx.
If you are a Patient User, you can pay us directly for medications prescribed by your healthcare practitioner (using our third party payment service providers) and arrange delivery of those medications. Delivery is performed by third party couriers.
You will own the medications once we have received payment for them in full. We will contact you by email or text to confirm we have received your payment. Our couriers may contact you by email and/or text with delivery updates.
The postage and packaging charge you will pay will be displayed on screen before you confirm your order to us.
In providing payment card details, you confirm that you are authorised to use the card and authorise us or our payment service provider to take payment in full for the items in your order, postage and packing charges and any other charges that become due to us under these Terms.
Sometimes orders may be delayed due to delivery issues outside of our control.
Unfortunately, prescription medications can only be dispensed to the patient to whom they have been prescribed, and consequently you are unable to return or obtain a refund on your medications.
CloudRx may include certain third-party software and services including Stripe. Your use of such software or services may require that you provide additional information to fulfil the dispensing service to patients. You agree to comply with and, upon request, provide such information.
Except as required by law and described below, you will not permit any third party to have access to CloudRx using your account. We have no liability for the consequences to you or your employees or agents from your or their use of CloudRx should you share your account details, howsoever arising.
While CloudRx has certain technical safeguards against misuse, you acknowledge it will rely to a substantial extent on your responsible use. You agree that we will not be responsible for any unlawful access to or use of CloudRx by any employee or agent to whom you give access or log-in credentials, howsoever arising.

You represent and warrant that you have obtained the proper consents, authorisations, and releases from patients as required by applicable law before posting their health-related information on CloudRx.

You agree that CloudRx may use and share de-identified health-related information to the fullest extent permitted by law.
We do not transfer health-related information to third parties, other than to technology service providers who host data on our behalf, and as required to process patient billing and delivery. You authorise us to make such transfers upon the request of you and the users who are acting through your account. You acknowledge that when you consent to transferring the information to third parties, we have no control over how those third parties will use and/or disclose the information.
We will use appropriate safeguards to prevent the use or disclosure of health-related information other than as provided for by these Terms, including administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information. A description of the measures we use to secure personal data, including health-related personal data, can be found in our Security Policy.
We will report to HCP Users any discovered use or disclosure of health- related information not provided for by these Terms, or when we determine that unauthorised access to health-related information has occurred (“Security Incident”), and we will cooperate reasonably with you to investigate and mitigate any such breach. We will also report Security Incidents to Patient Users where required to do so by applicable law.
We will ensure that any of our agents, suppliers and vendors to whom we provide personal data for the purposes of assisting us in providing our services, agree to the same restrictions and conditions that apply to us with respect to such information, including the obligation to implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards.
In line with the Privacy and Security Policy, we will facilitate your requirements to provide your employees or agents access and the ability to amend health-related information you post to CloudRx. We may also facilitate an accounting of disclosures as required.
In the event of an audit, we will give access to our internal practices, books, and records related to the use and disclosure of health-related information to demonstrate compliance as required. All access will be in line with the Privacy and Security Policy.

At the termination of the service, we will provide you with a copy of health-related information in an electronic form that is accessible through commercially available hardware and software. We will continue to abide by these Terms pertaining to such information and limit further usage and disclosures of health-related information in line with our legal obligations.
