B. The Platforms and Services

4. Services provided by Partner Practitioners and Partner Contributors

Consultations with Partner Practitioners

a. When you undertake a consultation with a Partner Practitioner, you enter into a practitioner-patient treatment relationship with that Partner Practitioner. We are not a party to that relationship and are not liable for any services (including the provision of medical advice and the prescribing of medicines) provided as part of that relationship.

b. Partner Practitioners operate with clinical independence and are solely responsible for the healthcare services they provide to you, including compliance with standards of care, record keeping and other professional obligations, as well as compliance with relevant privacy laws. They have the same obligations to you as if they were consulting you in person.

c. You acknowledge that the Services do not include comprehensive  medical advice from the Partner Practitioners.. Accordingly, you acknowledge that a Partner Practitioner with whom you enter a treatment relationship does not replace the role of a general medical practitioner outside the Platforms.

d. We do not guarantee that you will be able to consult with a particular Partner Practitioner. You acknowledge that a Partner Practitioner may, in their absolute discretion, refuse to prescribe medication to you, issue you a repeat prescription and/or provide any other services or referrals requested by you.

e. We do not guarantee that a consultation with a Partner Practitioner is suitable for you or is the appropriate course of treatment for your particular health condition. The Partner Practitioner with whom you consult will be solely responsible for determining:

  1. whether or not a consultation through the Platforms is appropriate for you;
  2. whether or not to provide the medical and/or health services you request; and 
  3. what health services are required (if any).

f. We take no responsibility and make no warranties, express or implied, in relation to the content of any consultation between you and a Partner Practitioner (including any medical advice provided, prescriptions given and/or medicine and/or medical device supplied by a Partner Practitioner). You and the Partner Practitioner are responsible for the conduct of each consultation and all information or communications made.

Prescriptions issued by Partner Practitioners

g. A Partner Practitioner may issue a prescription for a particular medicine and/or medical device and with a particular number of repeats if they consider it to be clinically appropriate. You acknowledge and agree that:

  1. the decision to issue a prescription (including for a compounded medicine or for “off label use”) is a clinical decision made at the discretion of the Partner Practitioner and with your informed consent; and
  2. the number of repeats to include with a prescription is similarly subject to the clinical discretion of the Partner Practitioner who may take into account all relevant circumstances, including the capacity to supervise your treatment with the prescribed medicine.

h. If a Partner Practitioner prescribes you a medicine and/or medical device for “off label use”, you acknowledge that the prescribed use of that medicine and/or medical device is not listed as one of the indications for use in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.

i. If a Partner Practitioner prescribes you a medicine that is to be compounded in a pharmacy, you acknowledge that the compounded medicine has not been reviewed for safety, quality or efficacy by the Therapeutic Goods Administration and does not appear in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.

j. You agree that the fact that a Partner Practitioner prescribes you a particular medicine does not constitute a representation that that medicine is available for dispensing (whether from an Associate Pharmacy or otherwise). We take no responsibility and make no warranties, express or implied, about the available supply of any medicine prescribed by a Partner Practitioner.

Services provided by Partner Contributors

k. Certain Partner Contributors may provide medical advice (nurses, pharmacists), dietary advice (dieticians, nutritionists) and general health and exercise advice (health coaches, personal trainers) within their scope of practice. You acknowledge that this advice is only provided in connection with the Condition.

l. Certain Partner Contributors such as coaches or program coordinators may provide general, unspecialised insights or advice, including in relation to the various components of the program as well as other aspects of overall wellbeing.  You acknowledge that any advice provided by Partner Contributors who are not health practitioners does not constitute medical advice and is not intended to replace medical advice or constitute the provision of a health service.  Any such correspondence is intended only as overarching guidance or support on the program as a whole. 

m. You and the relevant Partner Contributor are responsible for all information or communications made in connection with any advice provided.

Services provided by Associate Service Providers

n. Partner Practitioners or Partner Contributors may recommend or refer you to services or products provided or supplied by Associate Service Providers.  When you engage any Associate Service Provider, you enter a contract and/or treatment relationship with that Associate Service Provider.  We are not a party to that relationship and are not responsible for any services provided or goods supplied by the Associate Service Provider as part of that relationship.

General provisions

o. You acknowledge that Partner Practitioners and Partner Contributors may request confirmation or clarification of information you have previously provided, and may request additional information from you. You agree to provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information to Partner Practitioners and Partner Contributors (and to correct any previously provided information which is or becomes inaccurate). You further acknowledge that the provision of incorrect information in connection with obtaining prescription medicines may constitute a criminal offence.  We reserve the right to terminate all contracts and relationships with you if you provide inaccurate or misleading information to us or any Partner Practitioners, Partner Contributors, or Associate Service Providers.

p. Partner Practitioners and Partner Contributors will keep records of each consultation or other communication with you and it is their responsibility (where applicable) to maintain your clinical and other records as required by law and in accordance with the Privacy Policy. We may hold those records and will use, process and maintain them as required by law and in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

q. If a Partner Practitioner prescribes you a medicine, you must carefully read all information provided to you via the Platforms about that medicine (as well as any information provided in connection with an Associate Pharmacy, if applicable). You must also follow any medical advice provided to you by a Partner Practitioner or a Partner Contributor in relation to any prescribed medicine.

r. It is your responsibility to advise your general medical practitioner of any medicines or treatments our Partner Practitioners have prescribed you. However, if you would like our Partner Practitioners or Partner Contributors to forward such information to your general medical practitioner on your behalf, please let your Partner Practitioner know and provide your written consent for us to do so.

s. You should contact your general medical practitioner immediately if your medical condition changes or your symptoms worsen. You agree that, if you suffer from any noticeable side effects from any medication or treatment you receive, you will either consult your general medical practitioner or contact us to facilitate a further consultation with a Partner Practitioner.  In the case of emergencies, you will contact your local emergency service.

5. Purchase, dispensing and delivery of medicines prescribed by Partner Practitioners

Purchase and dispensing of medicines

a. We are not a pharmacy and do not supply any pharmacy-only or prescription medicines directly to patients. 

b. If you have been prescribed a medicine by a Partner Practitioner, you may choose the pharmacy from which to have the prescription dispensed. If you choose an Associate Pharmacy, then we will transmit your prescription to the Associate Pharmacy for dispensing.

c. You acknowledge that the Associate Pharmacy and/or an Associate Practitioner may not agree to dispense your medicine for any reason, including on the basis of their clinical judgement or the unavailability of the prescribed medicine, in their absolute discretion.

d. You acknowledge that if the Associate Pharmacy is unable to dispense your prescribed medicine due to unavailability, your treatment plan may be paused. 

e. If an Associate Pharmacy agrees to dispense your medicine, then you enter into a separate contract with that Associate Pharmacy for the purchase of that medicine. We will facilitate the performance of that contract as your agent, including collecting and passing your payment onto the Associate Pharmacy, via an intermediary (if applicable), on your behalf. For that purpose, you consent to us, your Partner Practitioner and any Partner Contributor providing your personal information to, and otherwise contacting on your behalf, the Associate Pharmacy in accordance with the Privacy Policy. You similarly consent to the Associate Pharmacy contacting you (and us) in order to confirm details related to your prescription in order to dispense your medicine.

f. We take no responsibility for and make no warranties, express or implied, in relation to the correct dispensing of (or the decision to dispense) your medicines by an Associate Pharmacy. In particular, if an Associate Pharmacy compounds a medicine on the basis of a prescription issued by a Partner Practitioner, we take no responsibility for and make no warranties in relation to the safety, quality or efficacy of that compounded medicine.

g. If you wish to have your prescription dispensed by a pharmacy which is not an Associate Pharmacy, then we will arrange to have your prescription transmitted either to you or to your chosen pharmacy. You acknowledge that the prescription provided by your Partner Practitioner for this purpose may contain a different number of repeats, according to the clinical discretion of the Partner Practitioner. You further acknowledge that you may be charged for the consultation with the Partner Practitioner and the service of transmitting the prescription.

Delivery of medicines

h. If an Associate Pharmacy dispenses a medicine prescribed by a Partner Practitioner, we will arrange for the collection of the medicine from the Associate Pharmacy and its delivery to your shipping address by an Associate Courier. For this purpose, you consent to us providing your personal information to the Associate Courier in accordance with the Privacy Policy, and you agree to the Associate Courier contacting you to confirm delivery details.

i. You may be provided with an estimated delivery time frame. You acknowledge that this is an estimate only and is based on the assumption that the Associate Pharmacy has all the information it requires to be able, and in its absolute discretion decides, to dispense the prescribed medicine to you and that the Associate Courier has all the information it requires to deliver the prescribed medication to you. Without limitation, if the Associate Pharmacy or Associate Courier does not have all the information it requires to dispense or deliver the prescribed medicine to you (as applicable), then a different delivery time may apply.  

j. You are responsible for ensuring that you have appropriate arrangements in place to accept delivery of your medicine. We are not responsible for the actions of an Associate Courier. 

k. If your medicine appears to be damaged, wrongly dispensed or your delivery is delayed, you should contact us to seek advice using the contact details provided in cl 13.

l. If your order or subscription is cancelled after your medicine has been dispensed from the Associate Pharmacy, you will be charged for the medication and you will not be able to obtain a refund.

6. Payment for the Services

Subscription payments

a. With the exception of certain products and services which may be purchased on a one-off basis, all Services offered via the Platforms may only be purchased on an automatically renewing subscription basis. This means that at each subscription interval (usually a period of 3 months), we will conclude a new contract with you pursuant to which you agree to pay the subscription fee and we agree to provide the Services (as applicable to you). The terms of that contract will be communicated to you during the order confirmation process.

b. If and for so long as a subscription contract is on foot between you and us, you agree for the payment mechanism you have provided us to be billed at regular intervals. We will give you notice of this in advance of each renewal date, and provide you the opportunity to pause or cancel your subscription before your contract is renewed.

c. When you conclude a subscription contract with us, the fact that the subscription fee is a particular price (or that any other term provides for particular rights or obligations) does not constitute a representation that renewed contracts with us will contain that subscription fee (or any other term). Accordingly, we may, in our sole discretion, vary the fees and payment terms applying to the Services at any time. 

d. Any change to the fees or payment terms applying to the Services will be immediately effective upon the publication of that change on the Platforms or by otherwise providing notice to you and will apply to the Services requested by you following that change. You will be provided an opportunity to decide not to renew the subscription contract in these circumstances.

e. If you have booked or paid for Services prior to a change in fees or payment terms being published on the Platform(s) or otherwise notified to you, but have not received the Services prior to that change taking effect, you will not be charged more for the applicable Services at the time you receive them.

f. All prices listed on the Platforms for the Services are inclusive of GST and shipping costs where relevant.

Subscription cancellations

g. You may cancel your subscription at any time by sending an email to support@compound.co. 

h. We may also cancel your subscription at any time, at our absolute discretion.

i. If your subscription is cancelled for any reason, you will not be charged for and will not receive future orders under that subscription, subject to cl 7 below.

Discounts

j. We may provide discounts (including through the use of promotional codes) for particular Services and for particular patients, in particular circumstances. 

k. Promotional codes for services which include prescription medicines are only available to patients of Partner Practitioners who have determined, in their clinical discretion, that they are suitable for the medicine. The offer of a promotional code to you for such services does not constitute any representation that a Partner Practitioner will determine you to be suitable for any medicine.

l. The promotional code, unless otherwise specified -

  1. is only valid for a limited time, purpose and application (as stated in the offer);
  2. may only be redeemed once per customer;
  3. may only be applied at the time of purchase, not retrospectively;
  4. is not transferrable and may not be resold; and
  5. cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers.

m. Violation of any of these Terms will invalidate the promotion and render the promotional code inapplicable.

General provisions

n. We will provide you with an invoice for Services provided by us or on our behalf. If you have received a medicine dispensed by an Associate Pharmacy or services from an Associate Service Provider, then we may facilitate the provision to you of an invoice from the Associate Pharmacy or Associate Service Provider for products and services provided by it. 

o. As at the date of publication of these Terms, consultations provided via the Platforms by a Partner Practitioner who is a doctor are not eligible for Medicare rebates covered under Medicare, bulk billing is not offered and no Medicare rebate is available.

p. If you are eligible to claim private health insurance benefits for any Services we provide, or any products or services provided by an Associate Pharmacy or Associate Service Provider, you are responsible for submitting the paid invoice to your insurer to claim any eligible benefits. 

q. You are solely responsible for maintaining the accuracy of your details, including your private health insurance details and any bank account or credit card details to which you would like to receive payments. We disclaim any and all liability for claims or payments which cannot be processed due to incorrect information provided by you.

7. Refunds, returns and exchanges

Refunds

a. You have rights under the Australian Consumer Law in relation to the provision of the Services, as well as in relation to any goods and services provided to you by an Associate Pharmacy, including rights to refunds, replacements and repairs in certain circumstances.

b. Subject to your rights set out in cl 7(a) above, we may only offer refunds for components of the Services, and will facilitate refunds for any payments made to an Associate Pharmacy or Associate Service Provider, if:

  1. a Partner Practitioner or Associate Practitioner at an Associate Pharmacy deems you unsuitable for treatment based on their clinical discretion;
  2. an Associate Pharmacy is unable to dispense a medication due to stock unavailability;
  3. An Associated Service Provider in their discretion rejects you for use of their service (in which case a refund will only be offered for that component of the Services);
  4. you cancel your order or subscription by 11:59pm before the applicable order processing date; or
  5. at any other time — a product, service or pricing error is identified.

c. Subject to the preceding clauses, requests for refunds (or returns or exchanges) for products or services provided by an Associate Pharmacy or Associate Service Provider are to be determined according to the Associate Pharmacy’s or Associate Service Provider’s own terms and conditions.  

d. If you are eligible for a refund, it will be made using the payment method you used for the original transaction. We cannot process refunds to alternative cards or payment methods. If you terminate a paid subscription, your subscription will remain active until the end of your then-current subscription period, and any products that have already been paid for will be delivered, unless otherwise agreed at the time of cancellation.
