Docshape Cancellation Policy

Last updated 26 September 2026

This policy covers (1) cancelling a Docshape software plan and (2) cancelling or rescheduling a paid Global Consult online video booking. Clinical-system / in-clinic visits paid on the spot outside Docshape follow the practice's own rules.

1. How to cancel a Docshape software plan

  • Cancel from Docshape billing while logged in, or email info@docshape.org from the account email if you cannot access billing
  • Cancellation stops future Docshape renewals. Access typically continues until the end of the period already paid, unless Docshape says otherwise at checkout
  • Docshape does not cancel because a third party (relative, patient, another clinic) asked
  • After access ends, the public site and dashboard features that require an active Docshape plan may stop. Export any records you are required to keep before the period ends
  • Cancelling Docshape does not cancel a domain registration at the registrar. A purchased domain is a separate registration; dropping it from the Docshape site does not unwind that purchase

If Docshape suspends the account for breach or unpaid invoices, that is not the same as a Subscriber-requested cancel.

2. Cancelling a Global Consult booking (patients)

If you paid online for a Global Consult video visit through Docshape:

  • Cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled start for a full refund (see the Refund Policy)
  • Cancel less than 24 hours before the start: you may take one free reschedule, or forfeit a cash refund if you do not reschedule
  • Use Help & Support on the doctor's Global Consult site, or the link in your confirmation email, and include your appointment reference

3. Doctor-initiated cancel or reschedule (Global Consult)

  • The treating doctor may cancel or propose a new slot from their dashboard
  • You will be notified by email when possible
  • You may accept the new slot or request a full refund under the Refund Policy

4. Clinical-system / in-clinic bookings

Cancellations for clinical-system appointments that were not prepaid through Docshape Global Consult checkout are between you and the clinic. Docshape does not cancel or refund those on-the-spot payments.
