Terms of Service

Last Updated: June 2026 · Version 1.0

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website www.mikulhealth.com, the Mikul Health mobile application, and any related services (together, the "Platform"), operated by Mikul Healthcare Technology Limited ("Mikul Health", "MHTL", "we", "us", or "our").

By creating an account, booking a service, accepting an assignment, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Platform.

1. Definitions

"Client" or "Family" means an individual who registers an account to request, book, and pay for care services on behalf of themselves or a Patient.

"Patient" means the individual receiving care — who may or may not be the Client (for example, an elderly parent, a newborn, or another dependent of the Client).

"Caregiver" or "Medic" means any nurse, doctor, physiotherapist, caregiver, nanny, or other healthcare/support professional who registers on the Platform to offer services to Clients and Patients.

"Service" or "Care Session" means a single completed unit of care delivery — including but not limited to a 1-hour visit, an 8 or 12-hour live-out shift, or a 24-hour live-in or specialist coverage arrangement.

"Booking" means a request for Service created on the Platform, whether for a recurring monthly care plan or a custom-scheduled plan.

"Appointment" means the booking data object associated with a Booking, which holds the relevant details of the Client, Patient, assigned Caregiver/Medic, and the agreed Service plan, schedule, and pricing.

"Wallet" means the in-app digital wallet through which Clients fund Bookings and Caregivers receive disbursements.

"Platform" means the Mikul Health website, mobile application, and any associated technologies through which Services are facilitated.

2. Nature of the Platform

Mikul Health is an aggregating and facilitating home healthcare platform. We connect Clients and Patients with independent, verified Caregivers and Medics. We do not employ Caregivers as staff, and we are not a healthcare provider ourselves.

Our role is to:

• Verify the identity, credentials, and standing of Caregivers before they are admitted to our network;

• Match Clients with Caregivers based on stated care needs, location, and preferences;

• Provide tools for scheduling, communication, payment, and care documentation;

• Provide quality assurance through review of care documentation, follow-up, and ongoing relationship management;

• Facilitate payments between Clients and Caregivers via licensed payment partners.

Mikul Health does not itself provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or care. All clinical care is provided directly by the Caregiver or Medic assigned to a Booking, acting in their independent professional capacity.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

3.1 You must be at least 18 years old to create an account on the Platform, whether as a Client or as a Caregiver. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this requirement.

3.2 A Patient receiving care through the Platform may be a minor, an elderly individual, or any other dependent of the Client. Where the Patient is a minor or otherwise unable to provide informed consent, the Client (an adult of at least 18 years) is responsible for providing consent on the Patient's behalf and for ensuring a responsible adult is present or reachable during Care Sessions involving that Patient.

3.3 You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account, and to keep that information up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

3.4 Account dormancy. A Wallet or account that has had no activity for a period of one (1) year may be classified as dormant. Reactivating a dormant account may require you to complete additional verification steps.

4. The Client Journey

This section describes the typical journey for Clients and Patients, and the responsibilities that arise at each stage.

4.1 Enquiry and Booking

You provide information about the Patient's care needs, and our team recommends a care plan and agreed pricing. Most plans run as a recurring monthly programme of care (live-in or live-out); some Clients agree a custom plan with a bespoke schedule and pricing. A Booking is created in our system reflecting this agreement.

4.2 Initial Nurse Assessment or Consultation

Before your main care plan is invoiced, an initial assessment or consultation is arranged with one of our nurses to evaluate the Patient's actual care needs in more detail. This may be:

• A physical assessment — an in-person home visit, which carries its own fee payable before the visit takes place; or

• A virtual consultation — a video or phone consultation, provided free of charge.

This assessment produces a report which may confirm or adjust the care plan and pricing initially discussed, and informs which Caregivers are suitable for your Booking.

4.3 Invoicing and Payment

Once your Booking is created and any assessment/consultation has been completed, an invoice for the agreed plan is issued to you. Payment must be made before Caregiver assignment occurs. Caregiver assignment is not an automatic consequence of creating a Booking — it follows confirmed payment.

4.4 Caregiver Matching and Assignment

Once payment is confirmed, we will either share a small number of shortlisted Caregiver or Medic profiles with you to choose from, or select and assign a Caregiver from our shortlist directly, based on our assessment of suitability.

You retain the right and responsibility to review, accept, or decline any Caregiver assigned or proposed to you. Even where we have matched and recommended a Caregiver, you are encouraged to exercise your own discretion — including asking questions, reviewing the Caregiver's profile and credentials, and raising any concerns before the first visit — before consenting to that Caregiver entering your home.

4.5 Care Sessions and Visit Reports

Each Care Session is documented by the Caregiver in a visit report covering tasks completed, observations, and any follow-up notes. You will receive these reports as part of our daily care reporting.

4.6 Renewal and Continuation

For standard recurring plans, the cycle described above repeats on a monthly basis unless you cancel or modify your plan in accordance with Section 8 (Payments, Wallet & Refunds). Custom plans follow whatever renewal arrangement was agreed with you directly.

4.7 Requesting a Replacement (Rematch)

If you feel a Caregiver assigned to you is not the right fit — whether due to a preference (language, gender, approach) or a conduct concern — you may request a replacement through the Platform, via our WhatsApp line, or by contacting support@mikulhealth.com. We aim to provide a suitable replacement within 72 hours of a valid request, depending on availability in your area.

5. The Caregiver Journey

This section describes the typical journey for Caregivers and Medics joining and working on the Platform.

5.1 Onboarding and Verification

To join the Mikul Health network, Caregivers must complete registration and verification, which includes:

• Submission of identity documents and professional credentials;

• Verification against the relevant professional regulatory body for your category;

• Background checks, including guarantor and previous employer references;

• Orientation to the Platform, including how assignments work, how reporting is done, and how payments are made.

Admission to the Platform indicates that, at the time of verification, the Caregiver held credentials and a license status that met our onboarding standards. It does not constitute an ongoing guarantee of a Caregiver's conduct, performance, or continued license status.

5.2 Assignment and Scheduling

When a Booking is matched to you, you will receive details of the Client, Patient, care plan, and schedule. Caregivers retain the right and responsibility to review the information provided about a Client, Patient, and household before accepting an assignment — including raising any safety, comfort, or scope-of-practice concerns with our operations team before or during an assignment.

5.3 Visit Documentation and Conduct

For every Care Session, you are required to submit a visit report covering basic details, tasks completed against the agreed care plan, observations, and any follow-up notes. You are expected to maintain professional conduct at all times, including confidentiality of Patient information.

5.4 Payment and Payroll

Caregiver payments are calculated based on confirmed completed Care Sessions, as recorded in our operational systems — not solely on self-reported figures. Payments are disbursed in accordance with Section 12 (Payments, Wallet & Refunds).

5.5 Requesting a Reassignment

If you experience a scheduling conflict, a location or distance issue, or a personal comfort or safety concern regarding a Client's household, you may request a reassignment through the Platform or by contacting support@mikulhealth.com. Genuine safety concerns will be treated as urgent.

5.6 Offboarding

You may leave the Platform at any time by notifying us through the channels described in Section 11 (Account Restriction, Suspension & Termination). Final payments for completed and confirmed Care Sessions will be processed in accordance with our standard payroll cycle.

6. Verification Standards

Mikul Health takes reasonable steps to verify Caregivers before they are admitted to our network, including checking credentials against the relevant regulatory bodies and confirming the validity and expiration status of their professional license at the point of verification, alongside background, guarantor, and previous-employer checks.

This verification process is a screening measure, not a guarantee. It does not eliminate the need for Clients and Caregivers to exercise their own judgement.

7. Disclaimers for Clients and Patients

7.1 Mikul Health is an aggregating and facilitating platform. We connect you with independent Caregivers and Medics; we do not employ them, supervise their day-to-day work, or provide care ourselves.

7.2 While we carry out verification of Caregivers as described in Section 6, we do not guarantee the accuracy of any background check, the ongoing conduct of any Caregiver, or the outcome of any care provided.

7.3 Mikul Health shall not be held liable for any theft, loss, damage, injury, or other serious incident arising during the course of a Care Session, except where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable Nigerian law.

7.4 You are responsible for exercising your own discretion and due diligence regarding any Caregiver matched or assigned to you.

8. Disclaimers for Caregivers and Medics

8.1 Mikul Health is an aggregating and facilitating platform. We connect you with Clients and Patients seeking care; we do not control the environment, conduct, or circumstances of any Client's household.

8.2 While we carry out verification of Clients to the extent reasonably possible, we do not guarantee the safety, conduct, or circumstances of any Client, Patient, or household to which you are assigned.

8.3 Mikul Health shall not be held liable for any theft, loss, damage, injury, or other serious incident you experience in the course of providing a Care Session, except where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable Nigerian law.

8.4 You are responsible for exercising your own discretion and due diligence regarding any assignment.

9. Mutual Due Diligence and Assumption of Risk

Both Clients/Patients and Caregivers/Medics acknowledge and agree that:

• Mikul Health's verification, matching, and assignment processes are intended to facilitate suitable connections, but do not replace each party's own responsibility to exercise discretion and due diligence regarding the other party;

• Each party retains the right to decline, request a replacement for, or discontinue an arrangement with the other party at any time, in accordance with Sections 4.7 and 5.5;

• Where a Client, Patient, Caregiver, or Medic suffers loss, injury, theft, damage, or any other harm arising from their interaction with another party on the Platform, responsibility for such harm rests with the parties directly involved, except where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable Nigerian law;

• Mikul Health exists to bridge the gap of access between Clients/Patients and Caregivers/Medics, and is not a party to, nor liable for, the substance of the care relationship that forms between them once a match has been accepted.

10. Usage of Third-Party Services

The Platform may contain links to, or integrate with, third-party services (including payment processors and communications providers). Your use of any such third-party service is at your own risk and subject to that third party's own terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third parties.

11. Account Restriction, Suspension and Termination

11.1 We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account where you use your account for unauthorised purposes, we detect abuse, misuse, fraud, or attempted fraud; we are required to do so by a competent authority; we reasonably believe you are in breach of these Terms; or it is necessary for technical, safety, or operational reasons.

11.2 You may close your account at any time by contacting support@mikulhealth.com. Upon closure, we will retain your data only in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable record-keeping obligations.

11.3 Where we restrict, suspend, or terminate your account, you will be notified of the action and, where applicable, the reason for it, except where notification would conflict with a legal or regulatory requirement.

12. Payments, Wallet and Refunds

12.1 Payment Processing. Client payments for Bookings are processed through Paystack, a licensed payment service provider.

12.2 Caregiver Wallet and Disbursements. Caregiver wallets and payment disbursements are managed and serviced through PiggyVest for Business (PPFirst).

12.3 Commission. Mikul Health retains a commission on Booking payments before disbursing the balance to the assigned Caregiver. Any direct, independent payment arrangement between a Client and a Caregiver for Services facilitated through the Platform, made outside the Platform's payment systems, is a breach of these Terms.

12.4 Subscriptions and Renewals. Recurring care plans are billed monthly and expire one month after the subscription date unless renewed. Where a Client does not renew, any remaining unused service for that period may be forfeited, except where otherwise agreed in writing.

12.5 Refunds. If a Client requests a refund after a Care Session has commenced, a 20% deduction will be applied to the remaining balance to cover administrative and processing costs, with the refund processed at the end of the relevant billing month. No refunds will be issued for Services already rendered.

12.6 Taxes. Each party is responsible for their own applicable taxes arising from amounts paid or received through the Platform.

12.7 Changes to Charges. We may introduce new payment methods or adjust charges from time to time. We will provide reasonable advance notice of any material change to pricing before it takes effect for existing Bookings.

13. Intellectual Property

The Platform, including its website, mobile application, branding, and all associated content and documentation (other than content you submit), is the property of Mikul Health and is protected under applicable Nigerian and international intellectual property laws. No right, title, or interest in the Platform is transferred to you by virtue of your use of it.

14. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

14.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Nigerian law, Mikul Health's total liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be limited to the amount of fees paid by you to Mikul Health in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

14.2 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by Mikul Health's proven negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

14.3 You agree to indemnify and hold Mikul Health harmless from claims, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your violation of applicable law, or your misuse of the Platform.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If unresolved, disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Nigeria, without prejudice to any right either party may have to refer a dispute to arbitration by mutual agreement.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our operations, services, or applicable law. Material changes will be communicated to you via email, in-app notification, or a prominent notice on the Platform, and will take effect seven (7) days after such notice unless otherwise stated. Continued use of the Platform after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
