MEDADVISOR END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT

By clicking on the 'Accept' button or otherwise downloading, accessing or using the Software or continuing to receive the MedAdvisor Service, including the Unichem and Life Pharmacy version of the Software, you agree with MedAdvisor to be bound by this Agreement.
Please read the following MedAdvisor End User Licence Agreement carefully before continuing. This is a legal contract between MedAdvisor International Pty Ltd ('MedAdvisor' or 'we') and you.

In this Agreement, 'Patient' means the person receiving the benefit of the Software and/or the MedAdvisor Services and 'you' means all person(s) downloading, accessing, using and/or receiving the benefit of the Software and the MedAdvisor Services, including but not limited to the Patient and persons who use the Software and the MedAdvisor Services for the benefit of the Patient.

If you are using the Software and/or the MedAdvisor Service for the benefit of a Patient, you must ensure that the Patient has expressly authorised such usage and has also agreed to be bound by this Agreement. Conversely, if you are a Patient who has authorised for a user to use the Software and/or the MedAdvisor Service for your benefit, you must ensure that the user has also agreed to be bound by this Agreement.

The terms in this Agreement are subject to, and will not apply to the extent that they limit or exclude any rights and remedies you have under New Zealand Consumer Law (as defined in clause 7) which cannot be lawfully excluded, restricted or modified ('Non-Excludable Rights').

MedAdvisor is willing to license the software provided by it to you, whether by download, via the Internet, as part of a device or piece of equipment, or on software media, including all databases, data, and documentation contained therein or provided therewith, including any subsequent updates (the 'Software') to you only upon the condition that you accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by law, this Agreement, together with the MedAdvisor Privacy Policy (‘Privacy Policy’) constitute the entire agreement between you and MedAdvisor in relation to the Software and the related services provided via or in connection with the Software ('MedAdvisor Service'). Our Privacy Policy details the types of personal information we collect, who can access the information and the purposes for which it may be used. MedAdvisor takes the privacy of patient and pharmacy data very seriously. A copy of the latest version of our Privacy Policy can be found at: www.mymedadvisor.com/nz/privacy.

By clicking on the 'Accept' button, or otherwise downloading, accessing or using the Software or continuing to receive the MedAdvisor Service (such as SMS reminders), you accept all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by their terms. If you do not accept the terms of this Agreement, or the Privacy Policy, you are not permitted to use the Software or MedAdvisor Service. Please click the 'Cancel' button or opt-out (where applicable) and do not download, access or use the Software.

You are also deemed to have accepted the terms of this Agreement if:

  • a copy of the terms of this Agreement is made available to you if requested by you at a participating MedAdvisor pharmacy and you consent to your pharmacist signing you up to the MedAdvisor Service; or
  • we provide you with a copy of this Agreement via email or a hyperlink to the terms of this Agreement via SMS and you either notify MedAdvisor that you accept the terms of this Agreement or begin to receive or continue receiving the benefit of the MedAdvisor Service after receiving such notice.

MedAdvisor, Unichem and Life Pharmacy may in the future offer you additional services including:

  • additional information and training about your medication and health condition;
  • services offered by your chosen pharmacy, doctor or other health care provider; and
  • information regarding joining a clinical research program.

You acknowledge that the information you may receive in relation to the above examples will be matched and targeted to your condition or drug profile. MedAdvisor will not disclose any identifiable personal information about you to any third party providers of additional services unless you have provided express consent for us to do so. You may also opt out of the additional services at any time. Please contact us at the contact details provided in our Privacy Policy at www.mymedadvisor.com/nz/privacy  to opt out.

6. New Zealand Consumer Law and limitation of liability

In this Agreement, "New Zealand Consumer Law" means the New Zealand Fair Trading Act 1986 and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the term "Consumer" has the meaning given to that term in New Zealand Consumer Law.

New Zealand Consumer Law provides Consumers with a number of protections including the guarantees that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. Nothing in this Agreement has the effect of excluding, restricting or modifying a Consumer's rights under New Zealand Consumer Law or any other statutory rights which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified.

To the full extent permitted by law and except to the extent that guarantees provided under New Zealand Consumer Law cannot be excluded as set out in the paragraph below or otherwise, MedAdvisor's liability to you in connection with a breach of this Agreement or any failure of any goods or services is limited to: (a) in the case of goods, repairing, replacing or supplying equivalent goods, or paying the cost of any of those remedies to you; or (b) in the case of services, supplying the services again or paying the cost of having the services supplied again.
MedAdvisor's liability in respect of a breach of or a failure to comply with an applicable Consumer Guarantee will not be limited in the way set out in the above paragraph if:

(i) the goods or services are 'of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption', as that expression is used in the definition of “Consumer” in section 2(1) of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993;

(ii) services supplied by MedAdvisor are supplied in a manner that is misleading or deceptive or likely to mislead of deceive the recipient of those services under the New Zealand Fair Trading Act 1986;

(iii) it is not 'fair or reasonable' for MedAdvisor to rely on such limitation under New Zealand Consumer Law; or

(iv) the relevant guarantee is a guarantee mandated under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.

7. Disclaimers and other limitations of liability

The terms in this clause 8 are subject to, and will not apply to the extent that they limit or exclude any rights and remedies you have under New Zealand Consumer Law which cannot be lawfully excluded, restricted or modified ('Non-Excludable Rights').
You acknowledge and agree that:

  1. MedAdvisor is not a medical practitioner, pharmacist or supplier of pharmaceutical products, goods, services or delivery services and has no obligation to supply medical or pharmaceutical products, goods, services or delivery services to you or the Patient.
  2. MedAdvisor shall have no liability to you or the Patient for the supply of Telehealth Services by a Practitioner or for pharmaceutical products, goods, services or delivery services by your Favourite Pharmacy or any third party agreeing to provide Script Delivery Services or otherwise.
  3. The services that MedAdvisor agrees to provide to you and/or the Patient are limited to those software services set out in this Agreement.
  4. Your Favourite Pharmacy is solely responsible for the supply and delivery of pharmaceutical products to you in circumstances where they provide Script Delivery Services or delivery instruction.
  5. Your Practitioner is solely responsible for the supply of Practitioner Services where they agree to a Request.
  6. Your contractual relationship with regard to the supply and delivery of pharmaceutical products is with your Favourite Pharmacy, and with your Practitioner in respect of the provision of Practitioner Services, and in neither case is it with MedAdvisor.

To the extent permitted by law and subject to your Non-Excludable Rights (see clause 7), MedAdvisor will not be liable for any loss or damage incurred by you arising from your use of the Software, MedAdvisor Service or Content.

MedAdvisor is a technology tool and a communications platform between a pharmacy or a Practitioner on the one hand and a MedAdvisor Software user on the other.

8. Your Favourite Pharmacy

Some features of the Software require that your account on the Software is linked to a dispense account at your Favourite Pharmacy which is a MedAdvisor network pharmacy. To activate these features, you, or your carer, will need to complete the registration process in person at the pharmacy.

Other features of the Software may require that you provide your contact details to your medical practitioner. For instance, if you request to receive an electronic Script via SMS from your medical practitioner, you will need to provide them with your phone number. This disclosure would be subject to your medical practitioner's privacy obligations.

MedAdvisor is not responsible for linking your account and cannot be liable if your Favourite Pharmacy does not for any reason. In this case, we will delete or permanently de-identify the information you provide for linking your account.

MedAdvisor may collect personal information about you (such as dispense data and details of any electronic Scripts you store through the Software) when you deal with any participating MedAdvisor network pharmacies. You consent to MedAdvisor disclosing such personal information, and the information we collect about you via the MedAdvisor Service, to your Favourite Pharmacy. For example, if you have not initiated certain MedAdvisor functionality, such as 'tap to refill', we may notify your Favourite Pharmacy.

If you elect to change your Favourite Pharmacy in the future, you consent to MedAdvisor disclosing your complete dispense history held by MedAdvisor to that pharmacy.

You also consent to your Favourite Pharmacy sending you promotional offers via the MedAdvisor Service. You may opt out of receiving such promotional offers at any time. Please contact us at the contact details provided in our Privacy Policy at www.mymedadvisor.com/privacy to opt out. Note that if you want to opt out of receiving promotional offers that you receive from the pharmacy outside of the MedAdvisor Service, you will need to contact the pharmacy directly to unsubscribe from that pharmacy's promotional offers (as this is a matter between you and your pharmacy).
