(b)    only send (or ask MedAdvisor to send as your agent) Health Campaigns to those Customers for which you have all necessary rights and consents required by law to do so; and

(c)    prior to requesting that MedAdvisor send the Health Campaign on your behalf as agent, remove from the recipient list any relevant Customers identified as being eligible for the Health Campaign for which you do not have all necessary rights and consents required by law to contact with marketing messages via the particular medium being used to send the Health Campaign (final recipient list).   Following the sending of such Health Campaign, MedAdvisor must not use the final recipient list of Non-MA Customers or the Customer Identification Details received pursuant to clause 9.3(a) for any other purpose.

9.5    In relation to SMS Only Customers, you consent to MedAdvisor sending Health Campaigns to such SMS Only Customers (other than Excluded Customers, defined below) on behalf of the Pharmacy Business as your agent (and containing the Pharmacy Business' name and contact details) unless you elect not to participate in a particular Health Campaign.  Any SMS fees and other costs related to the Health Campaigns will be at no cost to you.  You must regularly update MedAdvisor of any SMS Only Customers that have not provided you with all necessary consents required by law to receive Health Campaigns such as those who have subsequently unsubscribed from the Pharmacy Business' marketing communications (Excluded Customers).  By consenting to the sending of a communication under this clause, you warrant that you have notified MedAdvisor of any Excluded Customers as at the date of providing the consent.  

9.6    Where you and/or the Pharmacy Business:  

(a)    initiates a claim form to be completed via the Service (for example, to process a claim under the current Community Pharmacy Agreement or any replacement or substitute agreement);

(b)    requests via the Service that we send certain Customer information relating to a service provided by the Pharmacy Business to a Customer to a government or regulatory body (for example, to update immunisation records of a particular Customer with the relevant government health body); or

(c)    otherwise use MedAdvisor's technology or services (including the Software, the Services or the Programs) to process, store, transmit or receive any Customer information on behalf of your Pharmacy Business,

you grant MedAdvisor the right to access, receive and Transmit the relevant Customer Identification Details, their Government Identifiers (where necessary) and such other related claim or information (whether from your System Data, or from data that you otherwise provide to MedAdvisor), and collect, store, use and transfer on those Customer Identification Details, Government Identifiers (if applicable) and such other related claim or information, solely to the extent required for MedAdvisor to process the relevant claim, request or other action on behalf of the Pharmacy Business, and for no other purpose. When doing so you must comply with all applicable laws (including privacy laws), including any requirements to obtain the Customer's informed consent and/or provide the Customer with any notices or information.  Following completion of the relevant claim, request or other action, MedAdvisor will maintain copies of the Customer Identification Details, Government Identifiers (if applicable) and other submitted claim or service information for reporting and audit purposes and otherwise in accordance with applicable laws. The foregoing applies to all Customers, whether Non-MA Customers, SMS Only Customers or MA Users.  

9.7    You acknowledge that you, and not MedAdvisor, control the relationship with the SMS Only Customers and Non-MA Customers and that MedAdvisor relies on you to obtain the necessary consents from those Customers to undertake the activities in clauses 7.4, 7.5, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6. Accordingly, you indemnify MedAdvisor from and against any losses, damages, expenses or claims suffered or incurred by MedAdvisor, its related bodies corporate or any of their employees, advisors and contractors (“Indemnified Parties”) in connection with: (a) any breach by you of clause 9.3, 9.4 or 9.5; or (b) any allegation or claim that the sending of a communication to a SMS Only Customer or Non-MA Customer or the access, use or disclosure of any Customer or Pharmacy Business information (where MedAdvisor is permitted to do so under this Agreement) infringes the rights of any person or breaches any law. Nothing in this clause makes you responsible or liable for the content of any Health Campaign that was not provided by you.   MedAdvisor holds the benefit of the indemnity given by you under this clause on trust for the benefit of the other Indemnified Parties.

9.8    Nothing in this Agreement requires you to “use”, “disclose” or “adopt” a Customer’s Medicare number or any other Government Identifiers in any way that would be a breach of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) or any laws specifically applying to Medicare numbers or other Government Identifiers. If you disclose Medicare card numbers or other Government Identifiers to us, you warrant that you have the necessary rights and consents required by law to do so and MedAdvisor will only use any such Government Identifiers to the extent necessary to provide the Services or Program (for example, to assist you to process a claim you initiate or submit information to a government body if you request us to do so, as described in clause 9.6) and for no other purpose.
