Terms of Treatment and Use CARE

Last updated: July 2024

1. About us and our services

1.1 These terms of use describe the rights and obligations between Care Preventive AG ("we", "us", "CARE"), Neuwiesenstrasse 15, 8400 Winterthur, and you ("you", "User") with respect to the use of the CARE mobile app ("CARE App").

1.2 The terms defined in the CARE Terms of Treatment and Use and used herein have the same meaning. In the event of contradictions, the terms of use of the CARE App shall take precedence, but only insofar as the use of the CARE App is concerned.

1.3 The CARE App is provided as part of your CARE Plan. The CARE App shows you your current values from the blood tests & health checks, the reports from your CARE doctor and health coach, as well as any treatment options and/or lifestyle optimizations.

1.4 You can find the results of your analyses and suggestions on how you can improve your health in our mobile app (the "CARE App").

2. Scope of these Terms of Treatment and Use

2.1 These CARE Terms and Conditions of Treatment and Use ("CARE Terms", "Terms", "Care Terms and Conditions", "CARE Terms", "Terms of Service", "ToS") govern the legal relationship between you and us when, for example, you book an appointment or use a service (you and we are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Parties" and individually as a "Party"). When you book an appointment or use a service, you unconditionally agree to the CARE Terms and Conditions.

2.2 The terms of use of the CARE App apply to the use of the CARE App. By using the CARE App, you unconditionally agree to the terms of use of the CARE App.

3. Personal requirements

3.1 Our services are aimed at private individuals and are available to persons who are at least 18 years old and capable of judgment.

3.2 The written consent of a legal representative is required for persons under 18 years of age or persons incapable of judgment. We recommend that a legal representative is present at all appointments.

3.3 Naturally, the services can only be provided to people who are suitable for them. For this reason, the mandatory prerequisite for all services is that there are no contraindications (see in particular the Patient Information). We also reserve the right to reject persons for whom there are other reasons for exclusion.

3.4. By agreeing to these CARE Terms, you confirm that these requirements are met.

4. Appointment booking, initial consultation, booking of services

4.1 The best way to use our services is to book them via our website or the CARE App. If a location offers this option on the website and capacity permits, you are also welcome to drop by directly without prior notice.

4.2 The scope and prices of the services are indicative and can be found on our website, although we reserve the right to offer new services and change or discontinue existing ones at any time.

4.3 The contract for a service you have booked is concluded when we accept your booking, whether by written confirmation of your booking via email, CARE App or other form of text, or by processing your partial or full payment.

5. Scope of services

5.1 The duration and scope of the services depend on the booking confirmation that you receive after booking. Please check the booking confirmation carefully to ensure that the correct services have been booked. The services you have booked may change and there is no entitlement to the continuation of individual services you have booked. However, we will endeavor to offer an equivalent service in the event of changes.

5.2 You can decide for yourself whether you wish to make use of all or only some of the services you have booked. Any services not utilized expire without replacement or compensation after 12 months. You expressly waive your right to the benefits after this period and declare that you have no claim to them or to a (partial) refund.

5.3 It may be that the services cannot be provided at the intended location. In principle, there is no entitlement for the service to be provided at a specific location. We will of course endeavor to accommodate your wishes regarding the location as best we can. However, you agree that the service can be provided at any location of CARE or a service partner and also at several locations. Depending on the offer and possibilities, individual services can or will be provided via electronic means of communication.

5.4 Other services:

(a) Included with the purchase of a service is the use of the CARE App, which is governed by the Terms of Use of the CARE App.

(b) Activities such as yoga nidra, breathwork sessions, sleep workshops, running, etc. are offered via the CARE Community ("Community Events", "Activities"). There is no entitlement to participate in the Community Events and CARE reserves the right to exclude participants or discontinue Community Events at any time without replacement or compensation.

5.5 In the event of non-compliance with the instructions of CARE staff, CARE may warn you or, at its own discretion, exclude you from individual services without compensation.

6. Costs and payment

6.1 Prices

6.1.1 All services are generally subject to a charge, unless a service is explicitly stated to be free of charge.

6.1.2 The applicable prices are those that are communicated to you before you book the services and are shown in your booking confirmation.

6.1.3 Until we confirm your booking via email, CARE App or other form of text, or process your partial or full payment, the prices announced (e.g. verbally, in brochures or on the website) are indicative and do not constitute an offer.

6.2 Payment

6.2.1 As a rule, chargeable services must be paid in full immediately after conclusion of the contract. Alternatively, we offer a partial payment option or installment payments if the conditions are right. We will be happy to inform you about the payment options at one of our locations or if you get in touch with us via email or social media.

6.2.2 In the event of full or partial non-payment, we reserve the right not to provide the service and to discontinue it.

6.2.3 You agree to pay in full any fees or other transaction costs that may be incurred during the transfer.

6.2.4 Payments must be made in Swiss francs (CHF) unless we offer payment in another currency.

7. Postponement and cancellation of appointments, delay, no-show

7.1 Postponement & cancellation

7.1.1 Please note that if you have booked appointments, this time will be reserved exclusively for you. We understand that there may be times when an unforeseen event occurs and you may not be able to attend one of your appointments on time or at all. Should such circumstances arise, please contact us immediately.

7.1.2 You can postpone or cancel an appointment with us up to 24 hours in advance. It is no longer possible to reschedule less than 24 hours before your appointment. In this case, your entitlement to the service agreed on this date will lapse without any entitlement to compensation or (partial) reimbursement. The same applies if you do not turn up for the agreed appointment. As a gesture of goodwill, the treating medical or non-medical staff may suggest an alternative appointment, whereby the right is reserved to charge a reasonable fee in the amount of the corresponding service.

7.1.3 It may happen that we also have to postpone an appointment (e.g. because staff are unavailable due to illness). In this case, we will arrange an alternative appointment with you. We may postpone your appointment at any time and as often as necessary without compensation.

7.2 Delay, no-show

7.2.1 If you arrive late for an appointment, you are only entitled to the services during the agreed time.

7.2.2 If the agreed consultation or the agreed analysis or treatment can no longer be carried out due to your delay, the entitlement to the service agreed on this date lapses without entitlement to compensation or (partial) reimbursement.

7.2.3 If your delay causes additional costs (e.g. because an additional appointment or staff overtime is necessary), you undertake to bear these costs.
