We accept no responsibility for any deficiency in your or your Sub-Users’ internal equipment and facilities.
  2. Registration information:  To register an MA account you must provide information about yourself and your Practice.  Where you indicate in the registration form that you are entering into these Terms of Use not only on your own behalf but also on behalf of a Practice of which you are not the sole proprietor, or whose proprietor is a different legal entity from you, you must accurately identify the entity/entities which is/are the proprietor(s) of the Practice by their name and, if applicable, their ABN and/or ACN.

You must provide a valid mobile phone number for yourself at the time of registration, to which we will send an SMS to verify that you are the owner or operator of that phone number.  Where you initiate registration of a Sub-Account, you must also provide a valid mobile phone number for the nominated Sub-User, to which we will send an SMS to verify that they are the owner or operator of that phone number.  In either case, we may cancel or reject registration of an account for FMA and MA if the provided phone number is not verified as belonging to the person for whom the account is being registered.

Where you initiate registration of a Sub-Account, you confirm and agree that you are authorised by the nominated Sub-User to initiate registration of the Sub-Account in their name and to provide us with the relevant information about them for account creation purposes, including their name, email address and mobile phone number.  

You must ensure that the information you provide to us about you, your Practice or any nominated Sub-User is true, accurate, complete and up to date at the time you provide it (whether at the time of initial account registration or later).  If the information you provided about you, your Practice or any nominated Sub-User is incorrect or subsequently changes, you must promptly update your MA account with the correct and current information.  You must also ensure that any information provided to us by nominated Sub-Users is true, accurate, complete and up to date, and that Sub-Users promptly update their Sub-Account details if the information they provided about themselves changes or is discovered to be incorrect.

  1. Practitioner Profiles:  You and each Practitioner Sub-User may create: 
  • an individual practitioner profile page for publication on FMA (Practitioner Profile); and
  • an individual practitioner ‘mini-profile’ within MA (to be made available to Patients where they add you or that Practitioner Sub-User to their MA account), 

in each case by completing the pro-forma template we provide, supplying the minimum information we request.

  1. Security:  You must not provide your Main Account username or password to any person. You are responsible for the confidentiality and security of your username and password, and for any use of and all actions resulting from use of your account (even if used by another person unlawfully).  You agree to take reasonable steps, including implementing reasonable security measures, to ensure that no unauthorised person gains access to or uses FMA or MA through your account.

You must notify us immediately if you become aware or suspect that another party has accessed your account or login credentials or has conducted unauthorised activities on your account.

  1. Account settings:  You acknowledge and agree that, as the Main User, you have responsibility for administration and account settings for the Main Account and any Sub-Accounts within your Practice, including the responsibility for setting and changing the features, functionality, services, materials and information available to Sub-Users.  You may do so at your discretion subject to these Terms of Use and subject further to any other obligations you may have under law and/or to the proprietor(s) of your Practice and/or to the Sub-Users, such as professional or employment obligations.
  2. Variations:  We may update, add, make changes to or remove FMA or MA features, functionalities or services, our internal processes, and the interface of the features, functionalities and services of FMA and MA from time to time as we consider appropriate. To the extent practicable, we will give you 30 days’ notice in writing (including by email) of any such changes that are material to your use of the Services.
  3. Departure:  If the practitioner Main User permanently leaves their employment, contract or other role or position within the Practice, they and/or the proprietor(s) of the Practice must notify us of the practitioner Main User’s departure, and that practitioner must relinquish the account (which, subject to our and the proprietor(s)’ approval, and the eligibility requirements in clause 3.1, may be transferred to another practitioner within the Practice) and cease using it.  The proprietor(s) must ensure that the login details for the Main Account are changed so that the departing practitioner cannot access the account once they have left the Practice.  Where another practitioner within the Practice is to be appointed as the new Main User with control of the Main Account, that practitioner and/or the proprietor(s) must notify us of that practitioner’s appointment, provide their details to us to ensure that they satisfy the eligibility requirements in clause 3.1, and ensure that the account details are updated to reflect the personal and professional details of the new Main User.
  4. Complaints:  You must promptly notify us of any complaints you receive from any person relating to the FMA and/or MA platforms or services, particularly any complaints relating to the use or disclosure of Personal Information or to the inappropriate receipt of commercial electronic messages.
4. Relationship

You agree that you and any Practitioner Sub-Users have a direct relationship with your/their Patients and our role is limited to the provision of MA as a platform through which you, your Sub-Users and the Patient can interact.  Any information, advice, care or treatment provided by you or any Sub-User, or exchanged between a Patient and you or any Sub-User, whether through MA or otherwise, including but not limited to information, advice, care or treatment provided in the course of a Telehealth Consultation, is provided under and pursuant to your / the Practitioner Sub-user’s / your Practice’s (as applicable) professional/practitioner relationship and/or agreement with the Patient and we are not responsible or liable in any way for such information, advice, care or treatment.

5. Appointment Calendars

A calendar for booking natural health appointments (Appointment Calendar) is allocated to the Main User and a separate Appointment Calendar will be allocated to each approved Practitioner Sub-User in the Practice.  You and each Sub-User will generally have access to the Appointment Calendars of all of the practitioners in your Practice who have MA accounts, for administration purposes, although this can be modified at your discretion in accordance with your Practice’s preferences.

At your option, we will publish the available appointments in your Appointment Calendar on FMA to display appointment availability and on MA for Patient bookings, and we will do the same for each Practitioner Sub-User (at their option). The display order of the practitioner directory list on FMA will be at our sole discretion.

You must actively ensure that your Appointment Calendar is accurate and up to date and that each Practitioner Sub-User actively keeps their Appointment Calendar accurate and up to date.

You must not, and you must ensure any Sub-Users do not, misuse your Appointment Calendar or the Appointment Calendar of any Sub-User to whose calendar you or they have access.  In particular, you must not use an Appointment Calendar of a given practitioner for another practitioner’s bookings or for booking patients of another natural health practice, you must not allow your Appointment Calendar to be used for another practitioner’s (or another practice’s) bookings, you must ensure any Appointment Calendar you manage (including your own) does not list appointment times that are not available, and you must ensure any Sub-Users observe the same obligations.

If a visitor contacts you by telephone or email to enquire about your or the Practice’s services and/or requests an appointment, you or another Sub-User must confirm appointment availability verbally and (with the visitor’s permission) send an MA account activation and registration link to the visitor by email or SMS.

An appointment made by or for a Patient in an Appointment Calendar is not a representation or warranty by us that the Patient will attend or pay for the appointment, and any disputes between the Practice and a visitor or Patient regarding appointment bookings (e.g. ‘no shows’) are a matter solely between the Practice and the Patient. 

6. Telehealth Consultations

MA includes functionality that allows you and any Practitioner Sub-Users to conduct a virtual online telehealth consultation with a Patient as a phone call or a video call through MA (Telehealth Consultation). You may authorise one or more Sub-Users to provide administrative assistance in scheduling, setting up and managing a Telehealth Consultation on your behalf or on behalf of Practitioner Sub-Users. The Telehealth Consultation functionality/service is provided by a third-party telehealth service provider.

You understand and agree the following in relation to any Telehealth Consultations you conduct:

  • You acknowledge that a Telehealth Consultation may not be appropriate for all forms of natural health services and care, including but not limited to situations of medical emergency or when a physical face-to-face examination is required.  You agree that you are responsible for making an informed decision about the appropriate use of Telehealth Consultations for each Patient and each consultation.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure that any Patient participating in a Telehealth Consultation is at least 16 years of age and, if they are not, that they have a parent, guardian or Authorised Representative present while participating in the Telehealth Consultation. 
  • It is your responsibility to ensure that any person purporting to be the parent, guardian or Authorised Representative of a Patient (regardless of the Patient’s age) is legally authorised to represent or take responsibility for the Patient in that capacity. 
  • You agree that the determination of whether a Telehealth Consultation is eligible for Medicare, private health insurance or other subsidisation or reimbursement is an assessment for you to make and not a matter in relation to which we provide any representation or advice.
  • You must not record or transmit video or audio of any Telehealth Consultation.  
  • You must not, and you must not request a Patient too, upload or transmit any documentation, image, video or other content using the Telehealth Consultation functionality of MA. If you require a Patient to provide any image for clinical purposes it must occur via a transmission method alternative to the Telehealth Consultation functionality of MA.
  • You may choose to conduct sessions as video and audio or as audio only, and we may at our discretion make available other functions from time to time such as chat and screen sharing.
  • Telehealth Consultation sessions must be scheduled through MA appointment bookings.  
  • You may cancel a session before it starts, but once a session starts it cannot be cancelled, and once a session has been cancelled it may not be reactivated.
  • Any Telehealth Consultation session joined by at least two parties will be charged the applicable rates for the total duration of the session. The minimum time charged will be a 15-minute timed session. If connectivity or other technical issues require you to log into a Telehealth Consultation session more than once, that session will be considered one total session for the purposes of its total duration and any applicable rates.
  • We reserve the right to limit the traffic on MA by capping your session or your use of Telehealth Consultations where required to manage site load.
7. Medipass

MA includes functionality that allows you and any Practitioner Sub-Users to submit claims electronically to Medicare, the Department of Veteran Affairs, National Disability Insurance Scheme, Insurance and Care NSW (iCare) and private health insurers using the Medipass service.

Your use of the Medipass service is your decision and subject to Medipass’ applicable terms and conditions as updated from time to time, which can be obtained directly from Medipass.

By seeking to access or use Medipass you agree that we may disclose your contact information (or a Sub-User’s, if applicable), including Personal Information, to Medipass for the purpose of Medipass contacting and engaging with you / the Sub-User (as applicable) in connection with the Medipass service. 

Complaints or claims in respect of payments or rebates made via Medipass services are to be directed to and resolved by Medipass. We are not responsible for and disclaim any liability in respect of such complaints, claims and liabilities.

You acknowledge and agree that we are not a seller or reseller of the Medipass service and we have no responsibility or liability in respect of rebates or other payments made to you or any visitor to or Patient of the Practice via the Medipass service. 

We are not responsible for any acts or omissions of Medicare, the Department of Veteran Affairs, National Disability Insurance Scheme, Insurance and Care NSW (icare), nor any private health insurer.

These services are provided by our third party payment processing service provider (Payment Processor) and any procurement of Payment Processing Services by you will be subject to a separate account agreement between you and the Payment Processor and their terms of service.

You must provide us with any information about you or your Practice that we require in order for you to access the Payment Processing Services.

MA includes functionality that allows the Practice to send SMS reminders and notifications to its patients (SMS Services) through an authorised SMS service provider (SMS Provider). 

You agree that you are solely responsible for the content of all SMS messages (whether sent on your own behalf or on behalf of another).  In particular, you acknowledge and agree that, although we and the SMS Provider are able to access and view messages transmitted using the SMS Services (which we or the SMS Provider will generally only do to investigate delivery failure or other service issues), we and the SMS Provider have no editorial control over the messages and are under no obligation to review, moderate, amend or modify them as part of our/their provision of the SMS Services.  

You must bear all costs arising out of any complaints made in connection with the messages (including complaints made by any Government agency).

The provision of information about, and recommendation, prescription, offer and sale of Products through MA is solely between the relevant practitioner (i.e. you or the Practitioner Sub-User) and the Patient, and we simply provide a platform to facilitate that interaction and transaction.  

You acknowledge and agree that we do not endorse any of the Products or provide any warranties or guarantees in relation to them (including as to their legality, availability, quality, safety, efficacy, acceptability, fitness for purpose or suitability for your Patients) or in relation to any information that is provided through MA in relation to them (including as to the accuracy, reliability, currency or completeness of that information).  The decision to recommend or prescribe the Products to Patients, to provide information about them and to supply them to Patients is solely your or the relevant Practitioner Sub-User’s decision.  

The legal relationship of buyer and seller of the Products is between the relevant practitioner (i.e. you or the Practitioner Sub-User) or your Practice and the Patient.  In particular:

  • any Products purchased through MA are sold by and purchased from you / the relevant Practitioner Sub-User / your Practice (as applicable), not from us; 
  • any payment a Patient makes for Products through MA (via Latpay’s payment gateway) is made to you / the relevant Practitioner Sub-User / your Practice (as applicable), not to us; and
  • any supply of Products purchased by Patients through MA is made by you / the relevant Practitioner Sub-User / your Practice (as applicable) from your/their/its own stocks, not by us.  

We do not accept any responsibility or liability in relation to the Products, or the Patient’s or any other person’s use of them, or any information or advice provided in relation to them through MA. It is your responsibility to manage the quantity and frequency of your Patients’ orders through MA, including by the provision of appropriate repeats.   You are solely responsible for the prices you charge your Patients for products (including any delivery charges), for ensuring you have stock available to meet your Patient’s orders, and for arranging the delivery of ordered Products to your Patients (including any and all delivery costs).

To facilitate your recommendation of a Product to your Patient and/or to make it available to them for purchase, MA includes functionality that may allow you, depending on the Product, to supply your Patients with certain information about a Product that is already stored in MA, such as packaging and labelling images, product description, directions for use and other label information.  MA obtains such information from the third party manufacturers/suppliers of those Products and makes it available through MA for you to provide to your Patients on an ‘as is’ basis.  We take no responsibility for and provide no warranties or guarantees in relation such third party information (including as to its accuracy, reliability, currency or completeness).

You may elect to switch from one plan to another at any time, with the switch to take effect at the beginning of the next monthly billing cycle. 

  1. Payment Processing fees:  Use of the Payment Processing Services will incur fees charged by the Payment Processor as per the Payment Processor’s own terms and conditions for use of the Payment Processing Services, to which you must agree in order to sign up for and use those services.  The Payment Processor may vary the fees they charge you for Payment Processing Services as per their separate terms and conditions, in consultation with us. They or we will notify you in writing of any such changes before they take effect.  
  2. Payment for Services:  In addition to any monthly fee payable to use FMA and MA, certain Services attract additional fees regardless of which monthly plan you are on.  Payment for the Services which attract fees, such as Telehealth Consultation services and SMS Services, must be made to us by way of prepaid Purchase Credits which you can buy from us at the following rate:

SMS Services1 Purchase Credit per SMS message up to 160 characters If message exceeds 160 characters, charge will be 1 Purchase Credit for the first message block of 160 characters plus 1 Purchase Credit for each additional message block of 153 characters or part thereof
Telehealth Consultations 1.5 Purchase Credits per 15-minute timed block (or part thereof)
  1. Practitioner Profile Fee:  In addition to any monthly fee payable to use FMA and MA, and any fees payable for Services, a periodic fee also becomes payable for maintenance of a Practitioner Profile on FMA (Practitioner Profile Fee), which is payable regardless of which monthly plan you are on.

For the first 12 months after registration of a Main Account or a Practitioner Sub-Account, there is no fee to maintain a Practitioner Profile.  After the first 12 months, in respect the Main Account and each Practitioner Sub-Account, to maintain a Practitioner Profile the periodic Practitioner Profile Fee must be paid.  This fee may be either (at your or the Sub-User’s election, as applicable):

  • a standard annual fee of $129 to maintain the account and the associated Practitioner Profile on FMA; or 
  • a premium quarterly fee of $79 to maintain the account and the associated Practitioner Profile as a featured practitioner on FMA. 

After 12 months of your MA account registration, you will receive an invoice for the amount of the Practitioner Profile Fee (with standard and premium options presented) to exercise the annual option to renew your MA account registration and to maintain your Practitioner Profile for another 12 months. Acceptance and payment of the invoice will, unless you elect to receive and pay periodic invoices manually, result in a default auto-renew facility being set up for you with the credit card details you provide to pay the invoice.  Under the auto-renew facility, we will automatically debit your credit card in respect of each following periodic Practitioner Profile Fee as it falls due, unless you instruct us otherwise.  We will notify you of the upcoming auto-renewal and automatic debit of your credit card 30 days before the payment is due to be made and again 7 days before payment is due.  You may switch off the auto-renewal facility at any time by contacting us.

  1. Variation:  We may vary the rates payable for the Services and the Practitioner Profile Fees, and add charges for other Services.  
  2. Ad hoc Services:  We may charge additional fees for certain services that you may acquire from us from time to time on an ad hoc basis, including, for example, connection and set-up, training, consulting, development and customisation. The terms of any additional services and payments for such services will be provided in a form or agreed separately in writing between you and us.
  3. Use of Payment Gateway:  We use our Payment Processor’s Payment Gateway to process payment by you of the fees payable to us as Purchase Credits, and you may elect to use the Payment Processing Services through the Payment Gateway (such as receiving payments from your Patients for your services) as described above. In using the Payment Gateway, you agree that:
  • the Payment Gateway may be affected by delays, defects, faults and/or other matters which render the Payment Gateway unusable. These matters may be caused by factors including technical difficulties with the performance or operation of our or the Payment Gateway’s software or hardware or due to problems or malfunctions with the internet or other telecommunication facilities;
  • to the extent permitted by law, we do not warrant, guarantee or represent that unauthorised access to information and data on the Payment Gateway cannot occur; 
  • you have relied on your own independent assessment and judgment determining whether the Payment Gateway meets your payment processing requirements;
  • you have read and agree to comply with the Payment Processor’s terms and conditions and privacy policy which are available at the Payment Processor’s website; and
  • you will indemnify us in respect of all and any Losses we incur as a result of any breach by you of the Payment Processor’s terms and conditions or privacy policy.
  1. Fair Use:  FMA and MA are available to you and Sub-Users on the Free Plan to access and use at no charge. However, if your free access to and use of MA continues for an unreasonably long period during which you do not use any of the Services or functionalities for which fees or charges are payable (such as the SMS Services, Telehealth Consultation services, Practitioner Profile and Payment Processing Services), we may determine that it is appropriate to charge you a fee for server storage or support in connection with your use of MA. 
  2. Commission fees:  By virtue of your registration of a Main Account (and Sub-Accounts) and your use of the SMS Services, the association of which you are a member or the professional body with whom you are registered may receive a commission fee from us.  This may enable us to offer you user discounts, special pricing, priority ranking or similar benefits on FMA and MA.

We receive a commission fee for your use of the Payment Processing Services, as a percentage of the fees you pay to the Payment Processor, which the Payment Processor pays to us.

14. Privacy

We will collect, handle, use and disclose any personal information that we obtain about you or any other person in connection with your or any Sub-User’s account registration and use of FMA and/or MA in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and our Privacy Policy.  By holding an MA account and using FMA and/or MA you consent, and each Sub-User consents, to such collection, handling, use and disclosure.

Subject to your instructions to the contrary, we will store Account Data in respect of the Main Account and each Sub-Account for as long as each such account is held.  If you or a Sub-User close your MA account, or we terminate your use of an account, we will deactivate the account but hold the Account Data in respect of that account so that it can be reactivated and the Account Data accessed again, for a period of 12 months.  After 12 months, we may at our discretion delete the relevant Account Data.  It is your and your Sub-Users’ responsibility to ensure that you and they observe your/their legal and regulatory record keeping obligations, including by exporting Account Data where your/their MA account is to be closed. 

Certain limited information that forms part of the Account Data may be collected and held by our third party service providers in accordance with our Privacy Policy.  If you periodically require permanent deletion of some or all of the Account Data we or our third party Service Providers hold, you must contact us and we will assist you with this.  You agree that you will observe any obligations you have under law or otherwise regarding the treatment of the records and health information of your patients and that any decision you make and any direction you give to us to permanently delete any Account Data will be in accordance with those obligations.

We may use certain limited Account Data relating to Patients (such as their name, email and mobile phone number), with the Patient’s, your or the treating Sub-User’s approval via an opt-in mechanism, for campaigns to encourage the use of MA, to provide promotional material or natural health and complementary medicine education material relevant to your Practice, and to promote natural health services (which may be complementary or competitive to those offered by your Practice).

You acknowledge that we may send, on your behalf or otherwise, electronic messages with your details to Patients of your Practice with an MA account, including confirmation electronic messages, reminder electronic messages and commercial electronic messages as defined under the Spam Act 2003 (Cth), if the patient elected to receive such messages.  We will do so in accordance with our privacy policy.

You must not, and you must ensure that any Sub-Users do not, send any commercial electronic message to a Patient (by their MA account or otherwise) unless you, the Main User or another Sub-User have first ensured, prior to sending, that the Patient has opted in to receiving such commercial electronic messages. You agree to comply, and to ensure that any Sub-Users comply, with the requirements of the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) by identifying the entity authorising the commercial electronic message and providing a functional unsubscribe facility.

You must not, and you must ensure that any Sub-Users do not, by email or SMS or otherwise, send to any person (including any patient of your Practice who does not have an MA user account) any commercial electronic message containing our name or trade marks or links to our website, except where the person has opted in to receiving commercial electronic messages and you comply with the requirements of the Spam Act 2003 (Cth), or the person has consented to you sending such a message, or as otherwise provided by these Terms of Use.
