The NPFS Terms of Service was revised and posted as of July 6th, 2019.
In order to use Rupa Health’s services, You must meet a number of conditions, including but not limited to:
Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service, and so long as Your Account is in good standing, Rupa Health hereby grants to You, a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Site solely for Your internal business purposes.
In addition to meeting the eligibility requirements discussed above, Users agree to comply with the following rules governing Your use of Our Services:
Our provision of Services to You is contingent on Your agreement with this and all other sections of this Agreement.
You hereby expressly acknowledge that You are solely and exclusively responsible for Your compliance with any and all applicable Laws and that Rupa Health does not purport to offer any advice or information concerning potentially applicable Laws or compliance therewith. The reference to specific laws or regulations in this section or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be read or construed to imply that such laws or regulations are applicable to You, nor that other laws or regulations are not applicable to You. Further, Rupa Health expresses no opinion with respect to the appropriateness or legality of the resale or recommendation of Products to Patients by a Health Professional. It is Your responsibility to consult with appropriate legal counsel as necessary to ensure that You are informed of and in compliance with all applicable Laws.
Most jurisdictions require that Health Professionals making recommendations to Patients on health-related matters be licensed to do so. Additionally, Governmental Authorities, professional organizations, or other regulating entities with jurisdiction over Health Professionals may require that certain ethical standards be followed. You may also be required to make certain disclosures to Patients or be limited in Your ability to charge Patients more than the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for Products. You agree to act in accordance with all licensing and ethical standards applicable to You as a Health Professional.
If You wish to use Our Services, Rupa Health requires that You be authorized by the applicable Governmental Authority; by using Our Services, You hereby warrant that You are so authorized.
Certain features or services offered on or through the Site may require You to open an Account (including setting up a username and password).
YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION, INCLUDING YOUR PASSWORD, AND FOR ANY AND ALL ACTIVITY THAT OCCURS UNDER YOUR ACCOUNT. YOU AGREE TO NOTIFY Rupa Health IMMEDIATELY OF ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR ACCOUNT OR PASSWORD. YOU MAY NOT USE THE ACCOUNT, USER NAME OR PASSWORD OF ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR COMPANY AT ANY TIME WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION AND CONSENT OF THE HOLDER OF THE ACCOUNT, USERNAME OR PASSWORD. Rupa Health WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS SECTION.
Products sold through the Rupa Health platform are quoted at Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Health Professionals who are using a Practitioner Seller Account have the ability to discount the Sale price to no lower than the service fee earned by such health Professional from Rupa Health noted below. You agree to abide by all applicable Laws and professional ethical guidelines for the Products You recommend when setting the Sale price.
For all Practitioner Seller Accounts, Rupa Health collects its fee as a percentage of MSRP Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price for products, postage, handling, customer support, sales tax administration and payment processing services furnished by Rupa Health to Your Patients on Your behalf. The balance is the service fee paid to You. The allocation of Rupa Health’s fees relative to Your fee will be determined on a Product-by-Product basis and shall be disclosed to You in Your User Account. Rupa Health reserves the right to modify these allocations in its sole discretion from time to time in its sole discretion without notice to You and all new Product orders after such changes will be subject to the new allocations. Please check daily for updates on fee allocations in Your Account.
Health Professionals who register for a Rupa Health Practitioner Account may use Rupa Health to recommend Products to Patients for purchase from Rupa Health. However, unlike Practitioner Seller Accounts, Health Professionals will not have any say over the price any of Products.
Practitioners do not make a financial gain on any lab tests ordered for patients through Rupa Health. Patients are charged the Clinician price for lab tests, along with a 10% ordering fee for going through Rupa. This is often lower than MSRP, which patients would pay if going to a lab directly. The ordering practitioner is not involved in this transaction.
All features, specifications, Products and prices of Products described on Rupa Health are subject to change at any time without notice. Â We make no representation as to the completeness, accuracy, or currency of any information on Rupa Health. We reserve the right to make changes to information about price, description, or availability without notice. We have made every reasonable effort to display as accurately as possible the packaging of products that appear on Rupa Health. The inclusion of any products or services on Rupa Health does not imply or warrant that these Products or services will be available at any particular time.
This lab-ordering catalog represents a partnership between Rupa Health and a health care practitioner. It is only to be used for authorized users and patients of this practitioner, with whom the practitioner has a relationship with.
The ordering practitioner authorizes and signs off for all lab test ordered through this catalog prior to kits being shipped to patients. Rupa Health does not provide Virtual Authorization for any lab testing.
The Rupa health team can communicate with users via email and phone regarding their lab test information, laboratory results, and billing for lab testing ordered through Rupa Health.
In cases where the ordering practitioner authorizes this feature, lab testing results will be emailed to the patient directly when they are received from the lab. They will be sent to the patient's email address given on checkout. These results will be e-mailed one at a time as they come in.
All tests are subject to Rupa Health refund policies established here.
Rupa Health and/or the Health Product Distributor will ship Product in accordance with any Supplier instructions. Shipping policies related to delivery time and/or method may vary based on the Health Product Distributor furnishing the Product.
