Stella Terms and Conditions

Terms and conditions

We are Vira Health Limited (referred to as Vira, Vira Health, we, our and us), UK Company Registration Number: 12542209. Our registered office is at 22 Highbury Grove, Unit 401, London, United Kingdom N5 2EF.

Welcome to Stella, the digital health platform for menopausal women. We understand that menopause can be a complex time and the experience is different for everyone. Through our wellness app, online assessment and associated services (called “Stella+” or “StellaPlus”), and website (the “Services” or “Platforms”), we aim to build a community of women who are there to help one another by sharing their experiences and answering commonly asked questions that are less commonly answered and facilitate medical help, if appropriate.

Before you start using our Services we have to set out the rules which will govern our relationship with you. We have done our best to make them as easy to understand as possible but if you have any questions at all, feel free to contact us at hello@onstella.com.

Section 1 – About us and these terms

THESE TERMS

These Terms govern your relationship with us when you access our Services and once you start using our Services you are taken to have understood and accepted them. These Terms will form a binding agreement between you and us so please read them carefully. You must be at least 18 years old to access our Platform.

We will refer to each person who is accessing our Services in any way (which includes taking our online menopause assessment (our Menopause Assessment)), as a User. Any User who purchases a subscription, medication, or any other available items through our Platform is a Customer. Vira Health partners with Doctors and pharmacies (our Pharmacy Partners) to respectively prescribe and dispense medication to Customers. Where Vira Health determines based on the information provided by the User that consultation with a Doctor in relation to the issuing of a prescription is not necessary, Vira Health’s in-house prescription team may directly issue prescriptions to Customers. Vira Health is Care Quality Commission registered and all of our in-house prescription team members are registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council or the General Medical Council.

Our Pharmacy Partners dispense medication to Users. Their terms are set out below (the Pharmacy Partner Terms) and apply to all dispensing of medication to Customers by our Pharmacy Partners. When you are a Customer and you purchase medication through us, you are agreeing to the Partner Pharmacy Terms. We may also give Users the option to discuss getting HRT with a licensed medical practitioner to discuss your medication (a Doctor) after taking our Menopause Assessment.

You understand that Vira Health is legally separate from our Pharmacy Partners and all Doctors and are not responsible for their services or advice to you. This means that queries, complaints and/or disputes relating to our service (e.g., the Menopause Assessment) must be directed only to us, and that queries, complaints and/or disputes relating to clinical care not provided by Vira Health, including consultations, prescriptions (other than those issued directly by Vira Health), or dispensing of medication must be directed only to the relevant Pharmacy Partner or Doctor. If disputes relating to consultations with Doctors, prescriptions (other than those issued directly by Vira Health) or dispensing of medication are directed to Vira Health, we will connect you directly to the relevant Doctor or Pharmacy Partner as applicable. Any form of consultation with a Doctor or a pharmacist from our Pharmacy Partner is a consultation with them, and not Vira Health. Our current and former Pharmacy Partners can be contacted at:
Truepill (former): info@truepill.co.uk or Chemist4U (current): support@chemist-4-u.com.

Other Applicable Terms

These Terms work alongside our privacy policy (the Privacy Policy). You should read the Privacy Policy as it sets out the terms on which we process (collect, use, share, etc.) any personal data we collect from you or that you provide to us and how we will communicate with you via the Platform. Any disclaimers shown on our Platform are also to be read in conjunction with these Terms, and in case of any conflict with them, such disclaimers will take priority.

Changes To These Terms

We may from time to time amend these Terms to ensure that we remain compliant with relevant laws and regulations or to keep up to date with improvements or changes we might make to the services and experiences we can offer to you via our Platform. If we make significant changes to these Terms or to the services within the Platform, we will let account holders know what these significant changes are and you may contact us at hello@onstella.com if you have queries regarding these significant changes. By continuing to use any of the Platform after changes are made, you are accepting those changes and will be bound by them so please check them from time to time.

Section 2 – Registration

Section 3 – The Services

Our App (Stella)

Stella is a digital wellness app focused on relief for the central pain points of menopause. It is not intended to provide healthcare, nor should the Service be considered medical advice. Only a physician or other healthcare provider can offer that.

Vira Health makes no claims, representations or guarantees that the Stella Service provides a health-related or therapeutic benefit. The Service should not be used in place of professional medical advice, as a substitute for proper and personalised professional medical advice or be used to make decisions about your health. We also cannot answer any medical queries either through the Service, email, or any other means.

Any advice or other materials in the Services are intended for general information purposes only. They are not intended to be relied upon and are not a substitute for professional medical advice based on your individual condition and circumstances.

The advice and other materials we make available are intended to support the relationship between you and your healthcare providers and not replace it. We are not liable or responsible for any consequences of your having read or been told about such advice or other materials as you assume full responsibility for your decisions and actions.

In particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no representation or warranties about the accuracy, completeness, or suitability for any purpose of the advice, other materials and information published as part of the Services.

Our Online Assessment (Stella+)

Menopause Assessments

Once you have set up an Account, and provided you are eligible, you will be able to access our online Menopause Assessment, which has been designed by clinicians and clinical advisors. You must be aged 40-60 years old and be a woman as defined by having been assigned the female sex at birth to be eligible to take our Menopause Assessment. While we support and respect people’s right to choose their own identity, and are working to make our service more inclusive to a broader age range, we have to set these limits for clinical safety and to adhere to clinical guidelines.

The results of the Menopause Assessment are provided on the basis of our proprietary algorithms which will assess matters such as the possible cause(s) of symptoms, suitability for HRT and the most suitable HRT options if so. The purposes of this Menopause Assessment is to enable women to:

get an assessment of their menopause status (e.g. are you perimenopausal, post menopausal, or not menopausal).
understand if their symptoms are more likely to be from causes other than menopause.
understand whether Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a suitable treatment option for them.
understand the lowest risk forms of HRT personalised to them.
understand other options for treating their menopause symptoms (e.g. lifestyle changes, diet changes).

Any use of the Menopause Assessment for any other purpose, including theft of our proprietary information, is strictly prohibited and will be actionable under applicable law. Menopause Assessments for different Users may serve different purposes and we do not guarantee any type of results, or that results will be conclusive, comprehensive or give a clear or obvious indication as to appropriate next steps for the particular individual. The results may provide some suggestions and ideas to improve symptoms, but all Users take responsibility to verify and cross-check their own symptoms against the results of the Menopause Assessment, and seek advice of a doctor where it would be sensible to do so. In some situations, we may suggest you seek support from a medical professional, but we may not always do so or be able to do so. For example, if your symptoms may not be due to menopause, our consultation may direct you to see a doctor as our assessment is only clinically validated to assess menopause symptoms.

Please note that as part of this process, we will require you to upload a photo ID to confirm your identity. We cannot be held responsible in any way where a User has falsified an ID, and any attempt to use a falsified ID is a material breach of these Terms, and may be reported to relevant authorities as an act of fraud.

Prescriptions

If the Menopause Assessment determines that the applicable User is a suitable candidate for HRT, then they will be able to purchase a prescription through the Platform for one of the suggested medications. Once a purchase has been processed through the Platform, we then share the applicable Customer and purchase data either with a Doctor or, if we determine that a consultation with a Doctor is not required, our own in-house prescription team. Our in-house prescription team or the Doctor will then review the User’s Menopause Assessment responses and results, and if it approves the prescription of the suggested medication on the basis of the information provided, then it will issue the prescription, and dispense and deliver the medication to the Customer’s nominated address. Please note that our in-house prescription team and the Doctors retain full professional discretion as to whether to create a prescription in any given circumstance, and if they determine that you should not receive a particular prescription which you have purchased, then you will be refunded for the relevant purchase. In such instances, our in-house prescription team or a Doctor will endeavour to provide reasoning and an alternative solution (which may include speaking to your doctor). Alternatively, our in-house prescription team or a Doctor may advise we need to get in touch to get more information from you. If this happens, we will contact you to discuss appropriate next steps. Please note you have not received a prescription until confirmed and approved by our in-house prescription team or through a Doctor. If a Doctor has issued a prescription, the prescription will be sent to Vira Health to facilitate your obtaining the prescription through our Pharmacy Partner. In all cases where we share Customer and purchase data with a Doctor, the Doctor holds the ultimate decision-making power to prescribe or not and they retain discretion in all cases to reject a prescription in their clinical judgment.

The Menopause Assessment, whilst designed by clinicians, is generic in nature and does not have your exhaustive medical records or history at its disposal when producing results. Therefore, it must not be used as a replacement or substitute for formal medical diagnosis or personal medical advice from your own doctor. You understand that the information contained in the results of a Menopause Assessment does not constitute medical advice and you will not rely on it as such. Where you do choose to access medications through our Service and our Pharmacy Partners, you agree that you have made your own decisions to do so, and where required, have the approval of your doctor to do so. You agree you are responsible for making your doctor aware of any new medications which you have been prescribed or have taken.

You promise that you will only provide truthful and accurate information in good faith in all Menopause Assessments, and any failure to do so (whether intentional or not) will impact the effectiveness and/or appropriateness of your results, and the suitability or safety of any prescription made out to you by our in-house prescription team or a Doctor. We are not responsible for the consequences of you providing untruthful or inaccurate information and we will accept the information you provide “as is” and will be under no obligation to check or verify it (excluding in respect of ID documents). If you are uncertain about your responses to questions during the Menopause Assessment, then you may reach out to us for support or clarification, although if it relates to your personal medical condition then we will recommend that you contact your doctor.

Your further promise that you will only seek to obtain one prescription for the same medication at any one time and never seek to obtain medication for anyone but yourself (unless you are legally authorised to do so and you have explained this to us), or for amounts in excess of recommended or permitted dosages. As such, if you have purchased an order in accordance with section 4, you may not place a new order for the same prescription within the same 3-month period and must wait until that period has expired.

Discussing HRT With A Doctor OR OUR IN-HOUSE PRESCRIPTION TEAM

After completing a Menopause Assessment, Users may be given the option to book a call (a video consultation or traditional phone call) with a Doctor to discuss getting HRT, or with a member of our in-house prescription team to address general clinical questions or concerns relating to HRT. Users can register and confirm a booking for a consultation with a Doctor or a member of our in-house prescription team following the instructions on the Service with our support to coordinate available timings.

If you have made a consultation booking with a Doctor and cancel it 48 hours or less prior to the consultation, we reserve the right to charge you an administration fee of £50 for the missed appointment.

If you have made a consultation booking with a Doctor or a member of our in-house prescription team and cancel it 48 hours or less prior to the consultation, we reserve the right to charge you an administration fee of £50 for the missed appointment.

You understand that Doctors, in accordance with their standard practices, may be required to retain patient medical records from your referral to and appointment with them for 7 years.

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THIRD PARTIES

We partner with a variety of suppliers to provide Users with the best possible experience on our Platform.

We may display, include or make available third-party content (including data, information, applications, and other product services) or provide links to third-party websites or services (“Third Party Services”). You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible for any Third-Party Services, including their accuracy, completeness, timeliness, validity, copyright compliance, legality, decency, quality or any other aspect thereof. We do not assume and shall not have any liability or responsibility to you or any other person or entity for any Third-Party Services. Third Party Services and links thereto are provided solely as a convenience to you, and you access and use them entirely at your own risk and subject to such third parties’ terms and conditions.

We connect women with our in-house prescription team or Doctors to give our Users an opportunity to openly discuss HRT with a licenced professional before being issued with or ordering a prescription. Our in-house prescription team or the Doctors give our Customers the opportunity to be prescribed HRT without requiring a synchronous consultation. Our Pharmacy Partner exists as a pharmacy to dispense pharmaceutical medications to Customers.

Please remember that when you use a link to go to another website, our Terms are no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including those that have a link on our platform, is subject to that website’s own rules and policies.

Our Partner Pharmacies

Vira Health provides a Service to take a Menopause Assessment and view possible treatment options as well as for education and community engagement around menopause. Subject to any stated refund obligations, where a Doctor issues a prescription we may not be held liable or responsible for the relevant prescribed pharmaceutical goods and/or medications’ delivery, quality, suitability for your symptom(s) or condition(s), conformity to expected specifications, effects (or lack thereof), or anything directly linked to your ordering and receipt of such medications. You form a direct legal relationship with the Doctor. You must refer to the terms with your Doctor to establish your rights for this.

When Customers obtain medication using our Service, all fulfilment aspects come from a Pharmacy Partner, which is directly responsible in accordance with the Pharmacy Partner Terms for (a) ensuring fulfilment of any given order, and (b) the medications which are dispensed to Customers (including where there is any defect, problem or abnormality of any nature with them). Our role in prescribing and dispensing medications is limited to what is set out in these Terms and anything beyond these obligations is beyond our reasonable control and will never be due to our fault or negligence – for example, we do not control the supply chains or inventory of Pharmacy Partners’ medications. All Users understand that Vira is not responsible or able to verify all orders from Customers through the Pharmacy Partner.

Our Network Of Doctors

Further, we work with a network of Doctors, so that our Users have an opportunity to discuss HRT with a licenced professional before ordering a prescription and/or to have their prescription request be reviewed asynchronously.

Neither Vira Health nor its services are a doctor, and all Doctors in our network are independent medical practitioners or part of independent (of Vira Health) medical clinics. As such, we may not be held liable or responsible for anything which takes place during an assessment by or consultation with a Doctor, including without limitation any advice provided in respect of HRT or prescriptions ultimately issued.

Our role with respect to any User and their consultations with or other interactions or outcomes with a Doctor is limited to our role in making the connection between Users and Doctors and working with our Pharmacy Partner as set out above to fulfil any prescriptions, to the extent the Doctor has issued them. You form a direct legal relationship with the Doctors. Anything beyond this is beyond our reasonable control and will never be due to our fault or negligence – for example, we do not employ Doctors or participate in appointments with them. All Users understand that Vira Health and Doctors are distinct, and Vira Health is not responsible for observing medical consultations with Doctors or verifying any prescriptions issued by the Doctors.

Section 4 – Purchases And Payments

When making a payment through the Payment Service, you will be subject to the Payment Service’s separate terms and conditions. We may only accept payments from UK sources where final delivery of any agreed medications is to a UK location, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

Please note that you must be legally authorised to make payments with your selected payment method. Where you believe an unauthorised payment has been made, please immediately contact your bank or other relevant authority and report this (although we cannot guarantee that your bank or other relevant authority will investigate).

Stella+

Once you have completed the Menopause Assessment, you will be provided with suggestions in your results which may include suggested medications (amongst other suggestions, e.g. relating to lifestyle) and you may be given the option to book a consultation with a Doctor who can issue you with a prescription for medication. If you wish to book a consultation with a doctor or purchase medications, you must purchase the appropriate subscription .

Once you have subscribed, our in-house prescription team or a Doctor, as applicable, will be responsible for reviewing and confirming that the selected medications are suitable for you based on the information you have provided. Our Pharmacy Partners, in accordance with the Pharmacy Partner Terms are responsible for the fulfilment of your order, including sourcing the medication and dispensing it you. All prescription medications will either be (a) systemic HRT (oestrogen only, and combined), or (b) local vaginal oestrogen cream. If we enable you to purchase non-prescription medication without having taken the Menopause Assessment, then you will also be purchasing this from the Pharmacy Partner and the Pharmacy Partner Terms will apply to all such purchases.

Medications can be purchased in 3-monthly packages. Orders will not auto-renew. If you want to renew your order, then you will need to confirm that the information we hold for you is still accurate and respond to any questions provided (for example to confirm no side effects, allergies, or changes in medication). You acknowledge that we may contact you to process order renewals and that you must notify us if there have been relevant changes to your medication or personal circumstances since purchasing your last order.

Once a doctor consultation has taken place and/or the medication has been dispatched, the associated fees will be non-refundable, except where you have received the wrong items. You will not be entitled to a refund where you feel the medication has not had the desired effects, or where you have opened or otherwise used them. We will seek to process refunds within a reasonable period from when they become due, in line with applicable consumer protection laws.

Promotions, Promotional Codes, And Vouchers

We may from time to time provide certain promotional codes, for example as one-off promotions or as part of a loyalty programme. You agree that you will use promotional codes only in accordance with these Terms, or any additional terms we put in place for the relevant promotional codes.

Vira Health reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of a promotion or promotional code by you or any other User if we believe that the use or redemption of a promotion or promotional code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the terms of the promotional code or of these Terms. Where a promotion or promotional code includes a free-trial period, then your nominated account will be charged commencing from the first day after the expiry of the free-trial period.

We may also enter into partnerships with other businesses (e.g., employers or workplace benefit providers) to make our Services available to their members. These Users may access the Services through voucher codes or custom landing pages for the purpose of receiving Services at a reduced price. If the relationship between the Service and the partner is terminated, any User receiving the Services at a reduced rate will remain subscribed at the full-price rate until the subscription is cancelled. We will make a good faith effort to inform Users if such an event takes place to avoid unexpected charges and an interruption in services.
