Sorcova Health is a personalised stress management programme to prevent burnout, improve mental wellness and the quality of life. Using preventative health and lifestyle medicine approaches, Sorcova Health aims to tackle chronic stress, a major risk factor for most of the non-communicable diseases (i.e. cardiovascular diseases, diabetes etc.)
Our team of experts (doctors, scientists, health coaches, engineers and others) provide you with personalised lifestyle recommendations for stress reduction and mental wellbeing. Depending on the offer you’ll choose from our Service, you’ll benefit from a close follow-up through our App to monitor your evolution and recommendations and have ongoing guidance and expert advice.
You acknowledge and agree that Sorcova Health is solely for lifestyle and stress management (for preventative and wellbeing purposes); it is not intended to diagnose, treat or otherwise address any medical problem, and all the information provided through our Services does NOT represent medical advice and should not be used as a substitute for consultation with your doctor or other qualified healthcare professional. We are responsible for providing accurate health and wellbeing information through the system of our Services, following the best practices and relevant guidelines. However, it is your responsibility to carry out your own independent investigation to decide whether our Services are the most appropriate for your needs.
If you receive advice from a doctor or other qualified medical professional which conflicts with anything provided by our Services then the former should take precedence.
If you have any medical problem, you’re responsible for seeking medical advice from the appropriate professional (i.e. your GP or other medical professional or healthcare organisation). If you have a medical emergency, please contact without any further delay your local emergency service (call 112 in Germany or Europe or 116 117 the out-of-hours services in Germany or the one of your residence country).
If we find, or are alerted to, a mistake, we will correct it as quickly as possible. However, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, the authors, editors and publishers are not responsible for errors or omissions, or for any consequences arising from application of the information on the System, and make no warranty, express or implied, with respect to the contents, completeness or accuracy of the material published.
The access to our website is free of charge.
Our service currently provides customised paid offers (“Offers”) for B2B (businesses to business). The prices stated on our website are inclusive of applicable taxes and fees.
By choosing the “Mental Wellness” offer for your team, your payment will occur on a subscription basis (“Subscription”). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and monthly basis ("Billing Cycle") for 3 months minimum, but the length of the period can vary between 3-12 months depending on the company’s needs and choices.
We require a pre-payment of €200/user to secure the payment for your samples processing, in the case whereby you could cancel your subscription after your samples have been processed by the third party laboratory (and paid for by us).
Your Subscription will be automatically renewed under the exact same conditions unless you or we cancel this Agreement. Before each renewal, you will be asked to again complete a Consent form ("Consent").
You may cancel your Subscription renewal at any time either through your user account on the Sorcova mobile app or by contacting our team.
Payments made via the Website are processed securely using a payment processor (“Payment Processor”) which is Stripe in our case. This payment processor receives your payment information directly from you (we will not store or collect your payment card details, we will only retain basic details of the transaction and complete billing information including full name, address, zip code, country, email and phone number). You warrant that you are the owner, holder and authorised user of the credit or debit card and you agree to authorise Sorcova to take payments from your account as and when they become due using payment processors (i.e. Stripe).
If the automated recurring payment fails for any reason, you will be notified to proceed within a certain delay with the manual payment in full of the due amount indicated on your invoice.
The payment can also be made by wire transfer (the information will be mentioned in the invoice).
We reserve the right to change the fees and billing method for our offers at any time, at our sole discretion and we shall notify you of all such changes prior to the renewal date of your then-current Subscription. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Subscription (then-current billing cycle).
Your continued use of our paid Services shall constitute acceptance of such changes.
If you purchased one of the paid Sorcova’s offers, you have the right to cancel your purchase and receive a full refund under certain conditions:
If you wish to claim a refund for a payment made via our website, you must inform us and make your demand in writing by sending an email to contact@sorcovahealth.com including your contact information (full name, address, email, phone) and stating the reason for the refund.
Following receipt of your refunding request and if you qualify for a refund (the conditions mentioned above), Sorcova Health will send you an email confirmation of the approval of the refund, followed by a payment within 30 days. Refunds will be made to the card that you used when you purchased one of our offers on our website. After the refund has been made, you are no longer able to access and use our paid services.
Our current paid offers are customised and comprise a Mental Wellbeing Program (a min 3 month subscription, with monthly payments).
