Refund Policy
This Refund Policy explains the conditions under which Vcare ("we", "us", "the Company") provides refunds for purchases made on our website and mobile application. Vcare is a health-checkup booking and prepayment platform; actual checkup services are delivered by our licensed partner clinics ("Partner Clinics"). We do not provide medical services ourselves.
1. Service Model & What You Purchase
We charge users in only two scenarios:
- Membership plans (paid member, family / child-account, guardian-companion): upon activation we issue prepaid health-checkup vouchers ("Vouchers") to your account, and certain plans grant child-account slots.
- One-time vouchers (e.g. student exam voucher): a single prepaid voucher for one specific checkup, unlocked once the report is uploaded.
Creating an appointment does not charge you through our platform; it only switches a Voucher from "unused" to "used". Appointment cancellation and monetary refund are two different things (see Sections 5 and 3–4).
2. General Principles
- Eligible refunds are issued in full, with no processing fee deducted (we absorb the payment-processing fee).
- Refunds are returned to the original payment method (credit card / PayNow / other supported method).
- On approval, all Vouchers issued by that purchase are voided and the related subscription / slots are terminated.
- Only successfully paid orders can be refunded; an order that was never paid is not a completed transaction.
3. Membership Plan Refunds
A refund is available only if every benefit issued by that purchase remains entirely unused, namely: every Voucher issued is still "unused" (not bound to any appointment), and no child-account slot has been occupied. If any such benefit has been used, no refund is available (this also applies to partial refunds).
| Scenario | Refundable |
|---|---|
| All Vouchers from this purchase unused, no child slot occupied | ✓ Yes — full refund |
| Any Voucher already bound to an appointment ("used") | ✗ No |
| Any child-account slot already occupied | ✗ No |
| A Voucher has expired | ✗ No |
4. One-Time Voucher Refunds
A one-time voucher (e.g. student exam voucher) is refundable only while it remains "unused" (not yet bound to any appointment). Once redeemed, used, or expired, it is non-refundable.
| Voucher status | Refundable |
|---|---|
| Unused | ✓ Yes — full refund |
| Redeemed (bound to an appointment) | ✗ No |
| Used (checkup completed) | ✗ No |
| Expired | ✗ No |
5. Appointment Cancellation vs. Refund
Cancelling an appointment involves no monetary refund; it only affects Voucher availability:
- ≥24 hours before the appointment: the bound Voucher is automatically restored to "unused" and is usable again until its original expiry date.
- Less than 24 hours before: self-service cancellation is not permitted; please contact customer support.
- Clinic-side cancellation / service unavailable: the bound Voucher is automatically restored to "unused" (expiry is not extended); please rebook another Partner Clinic before the original expiry.
- Out-of-pocket charges not covered by a Voucher are collected directly by the Partner Clinic, not via our platform; please contact the clinic for any such refund.
6. Refund Process
- Submit a request via "Account Settings → My Plans → Request Refund", or contact us at support@vcare.com.sg.
- Provide your order number and the reason for the refund.
- We will review and respond within 3 business days (approval, or rejection with a reason).
- Approved refunds are returned via the original payment method within 7–14 business days; final crediting depends on your bank / payment provider.
- On approval, all Vouchers issued by the refunded purchase are voided and the related subscription / slots are terminated.
7. Non-Refundable Cases
- Any Voucher from the purchase has been bound, used, redeemed, or has expired.
- Any child-account slot from a family plan is occupied.
- The order was never successfully paid.
- Fraudulent information was provided, or the Terms of Service were breached.
8. Dispute Resolution
If you disagree with a refund decision, please contact us at support@vcare.com.sg within 14 days of the decision. Singapore users may also seek assistance under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA).

退款政策
本退款政策說明於 Vcare(下稱「本平台」、「本公司」、「我們」)網站及行動應用程式購買之項目,於何種條件下可申請退款。Vcare 為健康檢查預約與預付服務平台,實際健檢服務由合作之合法醫療機構(下稱「合作診所」)提供,本公司不自行提供醫療服務。
一、服務模型與您購買的內容
本平台向用戶收款的場景僅有兩類:
- 會員方案(付費會員、含子帳號、監護人陪同):方案啟用後,本平台依方案內容發放健檢預付券(下稱「健檢券」)至您的帳戶,部分方案另含子帳號名額。
- 一次性券(如學生體檢券):單張預付券,可預約一次特定健檢服務,上傳報告後解鎖完成。
建立預約本身不向本平台扣款,僅將券狀態由「未使用」切換為「已使用」。「預約取消」與「金流退款」是兩件不同的事(見第五條與第三、四條)。
二、共通原則
- 合格之退款一律全額退款,不扣手續費(金流處理費由本平台吸收)。
- 退款僅退回原付款方式(信用卡 / PayNow / 其他支援之方式)。
- 退款核准後,該筆購買所發放之全部券同步作廢,相關訂閱 / 名額一併終止。
- 僅付款成功之訂單可申請退款;未完成付款之訂單不成立交易。
三、會員方案退款
可退款的唯一條件為:該方案此次購買所發放之全部權益均尚未被使用——即每一張健檢券皆為「未使用」(未綁定任何預約),且未有任何子帳號名額被占用。只要任一權益已被使用,即不可退款(部分退款亦同受此限)。
| 情境 | 是否可退 |
|---|---|
| 此次購買發放之健檢券全部未使用、子帳號名額未占用 | ✓ 可退,全額 |
| 任一張健檢券已綁定預約(「已使用」) | ✗ 不可退 |
| 任一子帳號名額已被占用 | ✗ 不可退 |
| 健檢券已逾有效期 | ✗ 不可退 |
四、一次性券退款
一次性券(如學生體檢券)僅在仍為「未使用」狀態時可退(尚未綁定任何預約)。一經兌換、使用或過期,即不可退款。
| 券狀態 | 是否可退 |
|---|---|
| 未使用 | ✓ 可退,全額 |
| 已兌換(已綁定預約) | ✗ 不可退 |
| 已使用(健檢已完成) | ✗ 不可退 |
| 已過期 | ✗ 不可退 |
五、預約取消與退款之區分
取消預約不產生金流退款,僅影響券的可用狀態:
- 看診日 24 小時(含)以前取消:所綁定之券自動退還為「未使用」,可於原到期日前再次使用。
- 看診日前未滿 24 小時:應用程式不允許會員自行取消,請聯絡客服協助處理。
- 合作診所端取消 / 無法提供服務:所綁定之券自動退還為「未使用」(有效期不延長),請於原到期日前另行預約其他合作診所。
- 健檢券未涵蓋之自費項目由合作診所直接向用戶收取,不經本平台,相關退款請逕洽該診所。
六、退款申請流程
- 於本平台「個人設定 → 我的方案」點選「申請退款」,或來信 support@vcare.com.sg。
- 提供:訂單編號、退款原因。
- 本平台於 3 個工作天內審核並回覆(核准,或駁回並說明理由)。
- 核准後,款項於 7–14 個工作天內依原付款方式退回;實際入帳時間以發卡行 / 付款機構為準。
- 核准生效後,該筆購買所發放之全部券同步作廢,相關訂閱 / 名額終止。
七、不可退款情形
- 此次購買發放之券有任一張已綁定、已使用、已兌換或已過期。
- 含子帳號方案之任一子帳號名額已被占用。
- 訂單未完成付款。
- 用戶提供不實資訊或違反《服務條款》。
八、爭議處理
