Contractual Relationship
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”, “Agreement”) govern the access and/or use, by individuals who have signed up with Insynco and have a Patient Account or a profile in a User Account as explained below (“you”, “your”, “User”), of applications, websites, content, products and services (collectively referred to as the “Insynco Platform”), owned and operated by Insynco (“Insynco”, “we”, “us”, “our”).
Insynco offers Naturopathic Video Consultation Service (the “Service” “Consultation”) as a convenient, timely and efficient alternative to a face-to-face consultation, consistent with its objective of providing quality and accessible healthcare services. However, in order for us to provide the Service, and for you to avail of the Service and/or proceed with your Video Consultation session (the “Session”), you – the patient, customer, or user – must unconditionally agree to these Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”) and must provide your consent to the matters stated herein. By using Insynco’s services and/or by accessing or using the Insynco Platform, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by these Terms, which establish a contractual relationship between you and Insynco. If you do not agree to these Terms at any point, you must immediately cease the use of Insynco services and accessing the Insynco Platform. If you are accepting these Terms for another person (“Family Member”) as such Family Member’s parent, guardian, conservator, or custodian, you agree to the terms, conditions, and notices contained or referenced herein on behalf of such Family Member.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify, alter or otherwise update these Terms at any time and, by using the Insynco Platform after the amendment of the Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by such modifications, alterations or updates. The date on which these Terms were last amended will appear at the top.
On notice to you, Insynco may immediately terminate these Terms and/or access to the Insynco Platform or generally cease offering or deny access to the Insynco Platform or any portion thereof, at any time, for any reason.
Insynco reserves the right to change any information, material or content (including, but not limited to, pricing, features and availability of Platform services) contained on or provided through the Platform at any time, and from time to time, without notice.
Email and SMS communications
Email communication with your naturopathic doctor can only be used in conjunction with consultations for urgent questions related to your treatment plan. Inactive patients who have not had a consultation in over 45 days will lose access to in-between appointment communication with the naturopathic doctor. If an email request is deemed to be too complex or time consuming to respond via email, you will be notified and it will be a topic to discuss during your next appointment. Response time for email may take up to 72 business hours (Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST). Insynco response time excludes public holidays and any announced or un-announced replacement holidays determined by Insynco.
INSYNCO WILL USE REASONABLE MEANS TO PROTECT THE SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OF EMAIL AND SMS INFORMATION SENT AND RECEIVED. HOWEVER, THE SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OF EMAIL AND SMS COMMUNICATION CANNOT BE GUARANTEED. THE EMAIL AND TEXT MESSAGE FUNCTIONALITY ON OUR SITE DOES NOT PROVIDE A COMPLETELY SECURE AND CONFIDENTIAL MEANS OF COMMUNICATION. IT’S POSSIBLE THAT YOUR EMAIL OR SMS COMMUNICATION MAY BE ACCESSED OR VIEWED BY A THIRD-PARTY WHILE IN TRANSIT TO US. IF YOU WISH TO KEEP YOUR COMMUNICATION PRIVATE, DO NOT USE OUR EMAIL OR SMS.
Consultation Fee
The Consultation Fee is billed at a rate of $125 per 15-minute, $150 per 30-minute, $175 per 45-minute Follow-Up Consultation, and $250 per 60-minute Initial Consultation, provided, however, that Insynco may from time to time vary or update its fee structure. All new patients are scheduled for a thorough initial assessment that requires 60 minutes. Minimum time requirement for follow up consultations is 15-minutes. All consultations are by appointment only and the allotted time is agreed upon by both the naturopathic doctor and patient prior to booking. If additional time is required and available in the schedule, the patient will be given the option to extend the consultation and will be billed accordingly.
Billing
The Consultation Fee is required to be paid in full immediately following each consultation. Billing is completed using a secure online payment processor and accepted forms of payment include Visa and Mastercard. If Additional Services are performed by or purchased through Insynco, Insynco may require payment for such Additional Services in advance of performance. All naturopathic consultation fees are HST-exempt. Taxes only apply to advanced testing.
Additional/Excluded Services
If you require services, procedures or products outside of those specified as being included in the Consultation Fee, you will be solely responsible for the cost of such services. If necessary, Insynco may refer you to another healthcare practitioner for Additional Services. Alternatively, Insynco in its sole discretion may provide such Additional Services for an additional fee. Your insurance, if any, may or may not cover the costs of Additional Services. Additional Services may include, without limitation, the following:
Payments and Credit Card Authorization
To the extent that you provide Insynco with your credit card or other payment information for payments with respect to your registration as a Patient of Insynco, Insynco shall be authorized to charge your credit card for any unpaid Consultation Fees or fees for Additional Services provided to you by Insynco. You shall not initiate any dispute or chargeback to Insynco’s account without Insynco’s prior written consent and you shall not cancel the credit card that you have provided to Insynco without first providing Insynco the details for a replacement credit card. You will be responsible for any fees or costs incurred by Insynco in connection with collection, including fees associated with recouping payment on chargebacks. You will update Insynco in advance in the event of a change in your credit card information, including changes to the name on your card, your billing address and your reference phone number.
Insynco reserves the right at its sole discretion to refer any client to a collection agency where there exists an unpaid balance. If you refuse to make a payment, and collection efforts are unsuccessful, Insynco reserves the right to instigating proceedings against you in the court of law. You are liable for any of our costs associated with the collection in addition to any amounts owed, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, collection agency fees. Please note that the use of debt collection agencies and the court could affect your future credit rating.
We shall be entitled to suspend the provision of any further services until you have paid any outstanding sums in full.
Refund, Cancellation fee (Also referred to as: Late Notice Appointment Fee), failure to arrive for appointments and late arrival
Consultation Fees are non-refundable. Canceling or rescheduling appointments can be done via email to support@insynco.com, or call/text 1-833-INSYNCO during our business hours 9:00AM – 4:00PM Monday to Friday. You will be charged 50% of the appointment fee if you miss, cancel or reschedule an appointment less than 48 business hours prior to the appointment time. If we have conditionally waived the first no show fee(due to unforeseen/emergency circumstances) on the grounds that you would attend your next appointment, and you miss the next appointment, you will be charged 100% of that appointment fee. Late arrival may result in reduced treatment time or forfeiting of the appointment. Insynco will endeavor to ensure that your appointment runs on time; however, for reasons beyond our control, we may need to cancel or postpone your appointment at short notice. In this unlikely event, we will make every effort to contact you in advance. We do not offer compensation if we cancel your appointment.
Termination
Insynco may terminate provision of Services to you, at any time, upon:

Consent to Treatment
The Insynco Platform provides Patients with access to a licensed naturopathic doctor (the “Doctor”) by phone and video calls for telemedicine consultations and support services (as a subset of the Platform services, “Health Services”). By accessing and using the Platform to receive Health Services via Telemedicine, you consent to be treated by the Doctor. The Doctor may ask you questions about your personal health history, present condition or symptoms, and any course of treatment or medication that has been prescribed to you. The Doctor may also conduct a visual examination of you via Telemedicine and may ask you to conduct certain self-assessments, including but not limited to, taking your temperature, body measurements or blood pressure. You may withdraw your consent to receive Health Services at any time by ending your Telemedicine consultation with the Doctor.
In prescribing or recommending any course of treatment or medication to you, the Doctor will fully explain it to you, including the expected benefits, material risks, and material side effects. You are encouraged to ask questions of the Doctor regarding any course of treatment or medication that is prescribed or recommended to you, all of which should be answered to your satisfaction. You have the right to refuse or withdraw consent to treatment or medication at any time.
In addition to the material risks and side effects that may be associated with a course of treatment or medication that is prescribed or recommended for you, there are potential material risks that are specifically associated with Telemedicine and which may adversely impact the ability of the Doctor to provide Health Services, including but not limited to (a) poor quality audio-video connections due to remote locations or other network limitations that may limit the ability of the Doctor to conduct an appropriate assessment of you or otherwise obtain sufficient personal health information (“PHI”) from you to support a diagnosis or prescription, (b) delays in evaluation or treatment resulting from similar technology failures. By consenting to receive Health Services using the Platform, you consent to these inherent material risks associated with Telemedicine.
