DECODE Sleep Program Online Platform User Agreement

Terms and Conditions 

DECODE Insomnia Incorporated (the “Provider”) agrees to provide you with access to the DECODE Sleep Program (the “Program”) upon the following terms and conditions. By registering for the Program, you (the “Participant” or “You”) agree to be bound by and to abide by the following terms and conditions.

Effective Date 

This Agreement shall start upon registration by the Participant in the Program and shall be enforceable between the parties starting on that registration date. 

Program 

The DECODE Sleep Program is a digital course incorporating strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to address chronic insomnia, sleep timing concerns, and inadequate or poor-quality sleep. It is designed as a self-paced online program and is supported by regular virtual Office Hours.  The program integrates with medical care provided through the DECODE Insomnia Clinic.

 

Participants may enroll in the Program through one of two pathways:

  1. Fast Track Enrollment: Certain individuals may be approved to begin portions of the Program before their consultation with a DECODE Insomnia Clinic physician. Participants enrolled through this pathway must not begin the Reset phase of the Program until they have completed their consultation and received approval from their DECODE Insomnia Clinic physician. A physician referral for a consultation at the DECODE Insomnia Clinic remains required but can be obtained after enrollment in the program. 

  2. Post-Consultation Enrollment: Participants may enroll in the Program following consultation with a DECODE Insomnia Clinic physician, where suitability for the Program has been assessed.

The Program is intended to complement, and not replace, medical care provided through the DECODE Insomnia Clinic.

Eligibility: The DECODE Sleep Program is available to individuals aged 13+ in Ontario.

Access Period: DECODE Sleep Program: 190 days from the date of registration.

Online program features include video lessons, forms, worksheets, checklists, PDF resources, audio guidance, mobile app access, and other tools housed in Kajabi. The Program is delivered entirely in English, and no translations are provided.

Office Hours

Program support may include participation in virtual group Office Hours conducted through Zoom. Office Hours are intended to provide educational support, implementation guidance, accountability, troubleshooting of Program strategies, and answers to general questions about the Program.

Office Hours are not medical appointments, do not constitute physician consultations, and do not establish or replace any physician-patient interaction. Personalized medical advice, treatment recommendations, medication recommendations, diagnosis, or management of individual medical concerns will not be provided during Office Hours. 

Office Hours may occasionally be facilitated by physicians associated with the DECODE Insomnia Clinic. Participation in these sessions does not constitute a medical visit and should not be relied upon as a substitute for individual medical care.

Participants acknowledge that Zoom is used to facilitate Office Hours and that the Zoom platform used for these sessions is not PHIPA-compliant. By attending Office Hours, Participants voluntarily consent to the use of Zoom and accept the privacy risks associated with participating in a group educational session conducted through this platform.

Medical Care Requirement

At present, participation in the DECODE Sleep Program requires concurrent medical care through the DECODE Insomnia Clinic. A physician referral is required for consultation at the DECODE Insomnia Clinic. The Program is designed to be used in conjunction with assessment and follow-up care provided by DECODE Insomnia Clinic physicians and is not intended to function as a standalone treatment program.
