Thank you for visiting our website. This website is owned by SimpleDose Pty Ltd (ACN 651 414 667) (trading as SimpleDose). By accessing and/or using this website and related services, you agree to these Terms and Conditions, which include our Privacy Policy (Terms). You should review our Privacy Policy and these Terms carefully and immediately cease using our website if you do not agree to these Terms.
In these Terms, ‘us’, ‘we’ and ‘our’ means SimpleDose Pty Ltd (ACN 651 414 667).
SimpleDose reserves the right to amend these Terms from time to time.
1. What is SimpleDose?
SimpleDose is a healthcare platform that facilitates confidential consultations with Australian registered pharmacists (Pharmacists) and other health practitioners (Practitioners).
Our website content and any communications you have with SimpleDose representatives (other than Pharmacists and Practitioners) do not constitute medical advice. You should always obtain medical advice from a Doctor or your regular doctor to ensure any particular medication or treatment is suitable and safe for you.
2. Registration
You must become a registered user in order to make orders through the SimpleDose website or attend consultations with Doctors or Practitioners. Each user is permitted to create a maximum of one registered user account. You should not register an account on behalf of anyone other than yourself. Registered users must;
(1) be over 18 years old,
(2) be resident in Australia,
(3) be capable of entering a legally binding agreement with SimpleDose and
(4) agree to these Terms.
When you register and activate your account, you will provide us with personal information such as your name, gender, email address, telephone number, date of birth and shipping address. This information will enable the Pharmacists and
Practitioners to conduct their consultations. It is your responsibility to update this information so it is current, complete and accurate. We will handle all personal information we collect in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
When you register your account, you will also be required to create a password. You are responsible for keeping this password secure and are responsible for all use and activity carried out under your account. If you suspect, or become aware of, any unauthorised use or misuse of your account or any other breach of security in relation to your account, you must notify us immediately and take immediate steps to re-secure your account (including by changing your password).
You consent for us to contact you by email or phone if and when the need arises using the email address and phone number you provide when creating your SimpleDose account. You agree that all information that you provide to the Pharmacists and Practitioners will be true and complete to the best of your knowledge and that you will not purposefully omit to provide any information that could reasonably be judged to be potentially relevant to the Pharmacists and Practitioners in conducting their consultations.
3. Services
SimpleDose takes no responsibility and makes no warranties, express or implied, in relation to the content of any consultation between you and the Pharmacists or Practitioners. You and the Pharmacists or Practitioners are responsible for the conduct of the consultation and all information or communications made.
The Pharmacists and Practitioners take exactly the same personal responsibility for you as they would if they were seeing you in person. The Pharmacists and Practitioners will make notes of their consultation with you and it is their responsibility to hold and maintain your records as required by law. SimpleDose may from time to time hold copies of notes made by the Pharmacists or Practitioners. SimpleDose does not guarantee that an online consultation is the appropriate course of treatment for your particular health care problem. This assessment will be made by the Pharmacists and Practitioners. You agree to contact your own doctor immediately should your condition change or your symptoms worsen. If you require urgent care, you should contact your local emergency services immediately.
You agree that if you suffer from any noticeable side-effects, you will contact SimpleDose to facilitate a further consultation with a Pharmacist or Practitioner.
SimpleDose is not a pharmacy and therefore does not dispense any medicines. In cases where you prefer to use a pharmacy that is registered with the SimpleDose platform directly, SimpleDose can facilitate the subscription and payment process.
4. Accuracy, completeness and timeliness of information
The information on our website is not comprehensive and is intended to provide a summary of the subject matter covered. While we use all reasonable attempts to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information on our website, to the extent permitted by law, including the Australian Consumer Law, we make no warranty regarding the information on this website. You should monitor any changes to the information contained on this website.
We are not liable to you or anyone else if interference with or damage to your computer systems occurs in connection with the use of this website or a linked website. You must take your own precautions to ensure that whatever you select for your use from our website is free of viruses or anything else (such as worms) that may interfere with or damage the operations of your computer systems.
We may, from time to time and upon notice to you, change or add to the website (including the Terms) or the information, products or services described in it. However, we do not undertake to keep the website updated. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable to you or anyone else if errors occur in the information on the website or if that information is not up-to-date.
5. Purchases
All subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 5 days before the next billing date or subsequent subscription period.
You will be charged the subscription price at the time a SimpleDose order is dispensed. The subscription fee is determined after a Pharmacist has indicated what (if any) medication, vitamins and supplements are to be dispensed so the actual cost of those goods can be incorporated into the subscription fee. This is important so that the cost charged for pharmacy products is commensurate with the actual pharmacy charges. No margin is applied to pharmacy charges. All subsequent charges will occur on a monthly, 3-monthly or 6-monthly basis thereafter, as appropriate, unless cancelled by giving us at least 5 days’ notice before your next billing date or subsequent subscription period. Subject to any additional rights you may have at law (including under the Australian Consumer Law), the subscription price will be refunded only if:
- a Pharmacist or Practitioner declines the request (the decision to approve or reject a request is at the Pharmacist or Practitioner’s absolute discretion);
- our SimpleDose Service Guarantee applies;
- an item you have ordered is out of stock; or
- a product or pricing error is identified.
All charges and prices as shown on our website are in Australian Dollars and inclusive of GST where applicable and delivery charges. Medicare (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) benefits are claimed within the SimpleDose platform.
You expressly authorise SimpleDose to process the payment for the subscription price via your relevant payment method at the time a checkout is completed. We retain the balance of the subscription fee as a membership fee less, as applicable, the actual cost of postage, non-pharmaceuticals. We may, upon written notice to you, change the price for your current subscription, to take effect the next time you renew your subscription.
