Juniper's Terms & Conditions

Hi, we’re Juniper! And we’re on a mission to make reproductive healthcare a fairer and more inclusive space. 

Before we explain what Juniper can offer you, we kindly ask you to read these User Terms carefully as they outline the rules governing the Juniper Platform. They also provide details about what services we will be providing you with and, importantly, explaining what Juniper is and is not! 

There is no cost to you to join the Juniper Platform as your employer has already taken care of this (unless we specifically say otherwise under these User Terms or on the Juniper Platform). 

These User Terms are supplemental and additional to Juniper’s Supply Terms which shall govern Juniper’s commercial relationship with your employer, including the scope and duration of the services procured for you by your employer. Please familiarise yourself with Juniper’s Supply Terms, which you can request from your employer. If there is a conflict between these User Terms and Juniper’s Supply Terms, then the latter shall prevail. 

Unless otherwise defined in these User Terms, any capitalised terms will have the same meaning as set out in Juniper’s Supply Terms.

If you have any questions or would like to get in touch with us, please contact us at info@getjuniper.co.uk  

‍

Our Services

1. The Juniper Platform is operated by Juniper Reproductive Health Ltd (“we, us, ours”).  We are a company incorporated in England and Wales under company number 14973476 and our registered office address is located at 50 Liverpool Street, London, EC2M 7PY, United Kingdom.

2. The Juniper Platform is a healthcare membership platform designed to facilitate access to various healthcare services. It offers a wide range of helpful information, guidance, and suggestions, directing you ("you, End User(s)”) toward the care you may require. However, that care will always be provided by an independent third-party healthcare provider, who is fully responsible for all aspects of that healthcare, including consultations, diagnostics, treatments, and any other healthcare-related services ("Third Party Provider"). 

3. Whilst we will of course always try to be as helpful as possible, Juniper is not a healthcare provider itself, and you should never use our Juniper Platform as a substitute for emergency services, including medical emergency services and any safeguarding emergency services.  If you need urgent help then please immediately call the relevant medical or other emergency services response number.  

4. There are different tiers of membership and your tier is determined by the membership plan that your employer (“Employer”) has opted for. Regardless of your membership tier, you always have access to the following Services:
   1. Educational and self guided support through articles and other content;
   2. Assistance through our Care Navigator, offering a concierge service that provides you with wellbeing support, navigation and overview of our Service;  
   3. Access to our Online Care Practitioners, independent and licensed healthcare practitioners offering online limited consultations for initial healthcare queries and guidance;
   4. Access to our Partnered Clinics or, depending on your membership tier, External Clinics or other entities that provide fertility and related healthcare services; 
   5. Credit through our Juniper Berries which you can spend on our Services. 

5. You understand and agree that:
   1. Your access to the Juniper Platform and our Services is subject to your Employer or  Employer Partner paying the membership fees as agreed in the Juniper Supply Terms between us and your Employer (the “Membership Fees”). If, at any time, the Membership Fees are not paid by your Employer in accordance with the Juniper Supply Terms, or the Juniper Supply Terms are terminated by either us or your Employer:
      1. you may lose access to the Juniper Platform and Services; and/or 
      2. and we may immediately suspend or terminate your access to the Services without notice. 
6. The Services provided by Juniper to you are fully discretionary and you are under no obligation to accept, use, or continue using the Services. 
7. The Services are only available during the agreed Term (as defined within Juniper’s Supply Terms) and cannot be accessed, used, or extended beyond the agreed Term unless explicitly renewed or extended by mutual agreement between Jasper and your Employer. Failure to use the Services within the Term does not entitle you to any refunds or extensions.
8. Juniper does not provide reproductive healthcare services itself. Juniper’s responsibility is solely to facilitate access and affordability to reproductive healthcare services offered by Third Party Providers. Juniper does not engage in the practice of medicine, provide medical advice, or make any medical decisions on an End User. 
9. Whilst Juniper endeavours to partner with reputable Third Party Providers, it makes no warranty or representation as to the quality, availability, or outcome of any services provided by these Third Party Providers.
10. Juniper partners with Online Care Practitioners, who may provide initial and limited medical recommendations. The Online Healthcare Practitioner is a licensed healthcare professional and operates in compliance with all applicable medical standards and regulations. Any medical advice provided by Online Care Practitioners is not a substitute for a comprehensive medical consultation with a physician or other healthcare provider, and Juniper makes no warranty or representation as to the recommendation provided by Online Care Practitioners to an End User.
11. All personal, medical or, where necessary, payment information provided by you on the Juniper Platform is accurate, up-to-date and complete.
12. You are responsible for paying any additional costs directly to any pharmacy that dispenses a prescription to you issued by an Online Care Practitioner or Third Party Provider. 
13. Where you have been issued a prescription, only you, or the person named on the prescription, shall use the prescribed medication and follow the instructions provided in the prescription.
14. Juniper Berries have no cash value or any other value outside of the Juniper Platform and are not redeemable for cash. For the avoidance of doubt, Juniper Berries do not operate or serve as stored value facilities in any way. You may not trade, transfer, gift, or otherwise exchange Juniper Berries.
15. Once Juniper Berries are used to access a membership level or purchase a Service, they are considered consumed and cannot be returned or refunded.
16. In the event that you miss or cancel an appointment with a Third Party Provider, you may be charged a late cancellation fee (“Cancellation Fee”). Juniper reserves the right to, at its sole discretion, to either deduct the cash equivalent of the Juniper Berries from the End User’s available Juniper Berries or alternatively claim the Cancellation Fee directly from the End User.  
17. In the event that a Third Party misses or cancels a scheduled appointment, Jasper shall reimburse you the Juniper Berries used to book the appointment. No other form of compensation will be provided.
