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.
