If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform or Services.
These Terms are available at all times at www.myglobalhealth.online/terms. We recommend that you save or print a copy for your records.
4. Eligibility and Registration
4.1 Age requirement
You must be at least 18 years of age to register for or use the Services independently. The minimum age may be higher in certain jurisdictions — please refer to your Country Addendum. Patients under the applicable minimum age may only access the Services with the active participation and written consent of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on their behalf and takes responsibility for the accuracy of all information provided.
For any consultation involving a minor, the parent or guardian must be present or immediately available during the consultation unless the Clinician determines otherwise in the clinical interest of the patient.
4.2 Accuracy of information
You must provide accurate, complete, and current information during registration and throughout your use of the Services. Providing false or misleading medical information to a Clinician may compromise the quality of care you receive and may constitute an offence under applicable law.
4.3 Account security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account login credentials. You must notify us immediately at globalhealth@myglobalhealth.online if you become aware of or suspect any unauthorised access to your account.
4.4 One account per patient
Each patient may hold one active account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent any restriction, suspension, or ban is prohibited and may result in termination of all associated accounts.
5. Nature of the Services and Clinical Limitations
5.1 Operating models
The way in which Global Health delivers Services differs by market. In some markets Global Health operates as a registered healthcare provider. In others it operates as a technology platform connecting patients with independently registered Clinicians. The model applicable to your market, and its implications for regulatory oversight, complaints, and liability, is set out in the applicable Country Addendum. These Master Terms apply in full regardless of the operating model.
5.2 Telemedicine limitations
Our Services provide remote medical consultations and are not a substitute for in-person care where that is clinically appropriate. A Clinician conducting a remote consultation has limited ability to perform physical examinations. Diagnosis and clinical advice are based on the information you provide, your medical history as recorded on the Platform, and clinically appropriate remote assessment techniques.
You acknowledge that the quality and accuracy of clinical advice may be affected by the completeness and accuracy of the information you provide.
5.3 Emergency situations
IMPORTANT: Our Services are not suitable for medical emergencies. If you or someone else is experiencing a medical emergency, call emergency services immediately and attend your nearest emergency department. Do not use this Platform in a medical emergency.
Emergency contact numbers for each market are listed in the applicable Country Addendum and on the relevant country page of the Platform.
5.4 Prescriptions
Prescriptions are only issued where clinically appropriate and where permitted under the law of the country in which the patient is located at the time of consultation. Prescriptions are issued by Clinicians who hold current registration with the relevant medical regulatory authority in their country of practice. The name, registration number, and regulatory body of the prescribing Clinician are available on request and disclosed in your consultation record.
Prescriptions for controlled or restricted substances are not issued through the Platform. Country-specific prescription rules — including the regulatory frameworks governing digital prescriptions, applicable formularies, and cross-border validity — are set out in the applicable Country Addendum.
5.5 Cross-border prescription validity
A prescription issued by a Clinician in one country may not be valid or accepted by pharmacies in another country. It is the patient's responsibility to verify the validity of any prescription in the country where they intend to use it. Global Health does not guarantee that prescriptions issued through the Platform will be accepted outside the country of issue.
5.6 Referrals
Where clinically indicated, a Clinician may recommend referral to an in-person specialist or emergency facility. Global Health does not guarantee the availability, cost, waiting time, or clinical outcome of any third-party referral or in-person service.
5.7 No guaranteed outcomes
We cannot and do not guarantee specific clinical outcomes. Services are provided on the basis of professional clinical judgment applied to information available at the time. Individual results will vary.
5.8 Service availability
We aim to maintain platform availability at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Scheduled maintenance, technical issues, or circumstances beyond our control may result in temporary unavailability. Where a consultation cannot proceed due to platform unavailability, any Credits used to book that consultation will be reinstated to your account, and you will be offered a rescheduled appointment.
5.9 Clinical governance
Regardless of the operating model applicable in your market, Global Health maintains a clinical governance framework covering the quality and safety of Services delivered through the Platform. All Clinicians operating through the Platform are required to hold current registration with the relevant medical regulatory authority in their country of practice and to maintain appropriate professional indemnity or liability insurance.
The scope of Global Health's governance responsibilities and the applicable regulatory oversight in your market are set out in the Country Addendum.
5.10 Geographic restrictions
Services are only available in markets where Global Health operates. The current list of markets is seen at www.myglobalhealth.online. Accessing the Platform from a country in which Global Health does not operate does not entitle you to receive Services in that country.
5.11 Third-party technology
The Platform uses third-party technology providers for booking, payment processing, video consultation, and data storage. Whilst we take reasonable steps to select reliable providers, we are not liable for disruption or failure caused by third-party systems beyond our reasonable control.
6. Booking, Payment, and Pricing
6.1 Booking
Consultations may be booked through the Platform using Credits or by direct payment where applicable. A booking is confirmed when you receive an email confirmation from us. Booking confirmation does not guarantee a specific Clinician unless expressly stated at the time of booking.
6.2 Pricing and currency
All prices and Credit values are displayed in the currency applicable to your market, inclusive of any applicable taxes or levies. Current pricing for all Services and Credit Plans is published on the Platform's Pricing page and on each individual service page. The price applicable to your booking or Credit purchase is the price confirmed at the time you complete the transaction.
Where you access Services in a currency different from that of your payment card, your bank or card provider may apply exchange rate charges. Global Health is not responsible for any such charges.
We reserve the right to amend pricing at any time with reasonable notice. Price changes will not affect Credit Plans already active at the time of the change until the next billing cycle, and will not affect individual bookings already confirmed.
6.3 Payment
Payment is required in full at the time of booking or Credit purchase. We accept the payment methods displayed on the Platform at the time of transaction. All payments are processed securely by our payment provider. We do not store full payment card details on our systems.
6.4 Taxes
Prices displayed are inclusive of applicable local taxes where we are required to charge them. In certain jurisdictions, local taxes or levies applicable to digital health services may vary. Please refer to your Country Addendum for details.
7. Credits and Credit Plans
7.1 How Credits work
Credits are the unit of value used to book and access Services on the Platform. Credits may be obtained by: (a) subscribing to a Credit Plan, under which a defined number of Credits is issued to your account at the start of each monthly billing cycle; or (b) purchasing Credits on a one-off basis at the prices published on the Platform.
The Credit value of each Service is displayed on the relevant service page and at the time of booking. Credit values may be updated from time to time; the Credit value applicable to your booking is the value confirmed at the time you complete the booking.
7.2 Credit Plan subscriptions
Credit Plans are billed monthly on a rolling basis. There is no minimum contract term and no lock-in period. You may cancel your Credit Plan at any time — see Clause 7.5.
Credits issued under a Credit Plan are allocated to your account at the start of each billing cycle. Unused Credits roll over to the next cycle, subject to a maximum carry-forward limit published on the Platform. Credits do not expire whilst your Credit Plan remains active.
7.3 One-off Credit purchases
Credits purchased on a one-off basis outside of a Credit Plan do not expire and may be used at any time. One-off Credits are consumed before Credit Plan Credits when booking Services.
7.4 Non-refundable Credits
Credits are generally non-refundable once purchased, except as set out in these Terms or as required by applicable Consumer Protection Law in your jurisdiction. Credits have no cash value and may not be transferred to another patient account.
7.5 Credit Plan cancellation
You may cancel your Credit Plan at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at globalhealth@myglobalhealth.online. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current monthly billing cycle. You will retain access to your allocated Credits and Plan benefits until the end of the paid period. No partial refund is issued for any unused portion of the current billing cycle, unless required by applicable Consumer Protection Law.
Following cancellation, Credits already allocated under the cancelled Plan remain available in your account for 12 months from the cancellation date, after which unused Plan Credits expire. One-off Credits are unaffected by Plan cancellation.
7.6 Cancellations, rescheduling, and Credit reinstatement
If you cancel a confirmed booking at least 24 hours before the scheduled appointment time, any Credits used to make that booking will be reinstated to your account in full.
Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the appointment will result in the Credits being forfeited, except where the cancellation is due to a documented medical emergency or a platform-side failure, in which case Credits will be reinstated.
You may reschedule a confirmed appointment up to 12 hours before the scheduled time, subject to Clinician availability, without incurring any Credit charge. Each booking may be rescheduled once without charge. Further rescheduling requests may be treated as a cancellation under this clause.
7.7 No-show
If you fail to attend a scheduled consultation without prior cancellation or rescheduling notice, the Credits used to book that consultation are forfeited. No reinstatement will be made for a no-show.
7.8 Cancellation by Global Health
If we are unable to provide a booked consultation within 2 hours of the scheduled time for reasons attributable to us, any Credits used will be reinstated in full. You may alternatively request a cash refund of the monetary value of the Credits used, processed within 5-10 business days to your original payment method.
7.9 Statutory cancellation and cooling-off rights
Depending on the country in which you are located, you may have statutory rights to cancel a distance contract within a defined cooling-off period. These rights vary by jurisdiction and are set out in full in the applicable Country Addendum. Your statutory rights are not affected by these Terms.
Where a statutory cooling-off period applies and you expressly request that a consultation take place within that period, you may waive your right to cancel that specific consultation upon completion. Country-specific details are in your Country Addendum.
8. Health Data, Medical Records, and Data Protection

All Clinicians practice under Global Health's healthcare provider registration (IČPE: 11116233) and clinical governance framework.
CZ-2. Medical Regulation in the Czech Republic
Medical practice in the Czech Republic is regulated by the Česká lékařská komora (ČLČ) under Zákon č. 220/1991 Sb. All Clinicians providing consultations to patients in the Czech Republic through the Platform hold current registration with the ČLČ.
Each Clinician's ČLČ registration number is displayed on their individual profile page on the Platform. Patients may verify a Clinician's registration via the ČLČ online register at www.lkcr.cz.
Clinicians registered in other EU member states who provide services to Czech patients do so under the mutual recognition provisions of EU Directive 2005/36/EC on the recognition of professional qualifications, subject to any applicable notification requirements under Czech law.
All Clinicians practising under the Global Health IČPE registration comply with the ethical and professional standards of the ČLČ and with the clinical governance framework of Global Health, including applicable guidance on telemedicine and remote clinical practice issued by the Ministerstvo zdravotnictví ČR (MZČR).
Global Health maintains a clinical governance framework that includes: ongoing verification of Clinician ČLČ registration status; compliance monitoring; clinical audit; and a formal complaints and clinical incident review procedure in accordance with Zákon č. 372/2011 Sb.
CZ-3. Prescription Services in the Czech Republic
CZ-3.1 Electronic prescriptions
Prescriptions in the Czech Republic are issued electronically through the SÚKL eRecept system, in compliance with Zákon č. 378/2007 Sb. (Pharmacy Act, as amended) and applicable SÚKL regulations. Prescriptions are issued under Global Health's eRecept certificate (AMBSUKL216453413G) by individually credentialled Clinicians holding their own SÚKL zdravotník registration.
Following a consultation, the electronic prescription reference is transmitted to the patient via the eRecept system. Patients may collect their medication at any participating pharmacy in the Czech Republic using their national identification number (rodné číslo) or prescription identifier.
CZ-3.2 Prescription validity
Electronic prescriptions issued through the Platform are valid for dispensing at pharmacies across the Czech Republic in accordance with SÚKL regulations. Prescription validity periods are determined by the prescribing Clinician in accordance with applicable clinical and regulatory guidelines.
CZ-3.3 Controlled substances
Prescriptions for narcotic and psychotropic substances (omamné a psychotropní látky) in Lists I and II under Zákon č. 167/1998 Sb. (as amended), which require special prescription formalities, are not issued through the Platform. Prescriptions for substances in Lists III and IV, including benzodiazepines and other medications routinely prescribed in general practice, may be issued where clinically appropriate following a full consultation and in accordance with the prescribing Clinician's professional judgment and applicable ČLČ guidance.
CZ-3.4 Cross-border prescription validity
Prescriptions issued through the eRecept system are valid in the Czech Republic. Cross-border recognition within the EU is subject to EU Directive 2011/24/EU on patients' rights in cross-border healthcare and the national implementation of that Directive in the receiving country. Patients intending to use a Czech prescription outside the Czech Republic should verify its acceptance in advance. Global Health does not guarantee acceptance of Czech prescriptions by pharmacies or health systems outside the Czech Republic.
CZ-4. Consumer Rights in the Czech Republic
CZ-4.1 Applicable consumer legislation
Your rights as a consumer in the Czech Republic are protected by the following legislation and cannot be excluded or limited by the Master Terms or this Addendum:
- Občanský zákoník — Zákon č. 89/2012 Sb. (New Civil Code) — governing distance contracts, consumer rights, and contractual obligations.
- Zákon č. 634/1992 Sb. (Consumer Protection Act, as amended) — general consumer protection obligations.
- Zákon č. 378/2007 Sb. (Pharmacy Act) — applicable to prescription and pharmaceutical services.
- Zákon č. 372/2011 Sb. (Act on Health Services) — patient rights in the context of healthcare provision.
- EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU — implemented in Czech law through the Civil Code.

CZ-4.2 Patient rights under the Act on Health Services
As a patient receiving healthcare services in the Czech Republic, you have specific rights under Zákon č. 372/2011 Sb., including the right to: be informed about your health condition and proposed treatment; give or withhold consent to treatment; access your medical records; and have your dignity and privacy respected during the provision of healthcare services.
CZ-4.3 Statutory 14-day cooling-off period
For services booked online (distance contracts), you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of entering the contract, under the Občanský zákoník (§1829 et seq.). You are not required to give any reason for withdrawal within this period.
If you expressly request that a consultation take place within the 14-day cooling-off period and the consultation is completed, you waive your right to cancel that specific consultation. By booking a consultation to occur within 14 days of the contract date, you expressly acknowledge and consent to this waiver.

Data processing for patients in the Czech Republic is governed by GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and Zákon č. 110/2019 Sb. (Act on Personal Data Processing), which implements GDPR in the Czech Republic.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the ÚÔú at any time: Pplk. Sochora 27, 170 00 Praha 7. Website: www.uoou.cz.
