Vantage Health Terms and Conditions

WELCOME TO VANTAGE HEALTH!
In these terms and conditions (Terms), we distinguish between two types of users:
- Patients: Users who access our Platform to receive the Health Services from Health Professionals; and
- Health Professionals: Users who access the Platform to provide Health Services to Patients.
The obligations in these Terms apply equally to Health Professionals and Patients, unless we state otherwise.
In these Terms, we distinguish between two types of services:
- Services: services provided by us (a cloud-based and browser-based website called the Platform) to users being facilitation of consultations between Health Professionals and Patients, Script Forwarding Services, Report creation, Record keeping and other related as set out in more detail on our Platform; and
- Health Services: specific services provided by independent Health Professionals to Patients as set out on our Platform. The Health Professionals do not offer general practice services and only provide Health Services in relation to the conditions listed on the Platform.
In these Terms, when we say you or your, we mean you a user of our Services being either a Patient or Health Professional. When we say we, us, or our, we mean Vantage Health Australia Pty Ltd (ACN 694 627 748).
Some capitalised words in these Terms have defined meanings, and each time that word is used in these Terms it has the same meaning. You can find a list of the defined words and their meaning at the end of these Terms.
These Terms form our contract with you, and set out our obligations as a service provider and your obligations as a user. You cannot use our Services unless you agree to these Terms.

OUR DISCLAIMER AND DISCLOSURES
Please read these Terms carefully before you accept. We draw your attention to:
- our privacy policy (on the Platform) which sets out how we will handle your personal information and how we use artificial intelligence technologies on the Platform;

We (the Platform) do not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations. Health Professionals exercise complete clinical independence. Their prescribing decisions are based solely on their professional judgement and Patient clinical needs, not financial incentives or commercial arrangements. The Platform does not supply, sell, or dispense any Medications. Any supply of Medications is subject to a separate agreement between you and a pharmacy. We receive no financial benefit from medicine sales, pharmacy referrals, or prescriptions issued by Health Professionals;
- clause 2.2 (Variations) which sets out how we may amend these Terms;
- clause 22 (Liability) which sets out exclusions and limitations to our liability under these Terms;
- clause 10) which sets out any requirements relating to Medications noting that any references to specific medications, treatments, or therapeutic outcomes in Platform communications are for informational purposes only and do not constitute advertising of therapeutic goods;
We may receive a benefit (which may include a referral fee or a commission) should you visit certain third party websites through a link on our Platform, or for featuring certain goods or services on our Platform.
DO NOT USE OUR PLATFORM if you have an emergency or critical medical condition including chest pain, respiratory distress, stroke, or any other illness requiring medical attention. If you require immediate medical attention, contact your treating general practitioner or call 000. If you are in doubt about the seriousness of your condition, the appropriateness or effectiveness of using our Services or believe that you, or another person is in an urgent, dangerous or emergency situation, you should not use our Services and instead contact 000 immediately or seek alternative and appropriate medical services.

9. Health Services
9.1 The decision to prescribe any Medications, perform testing or issue further referrals rests entirely with the Health Professional, based on their independent professional judgment and in consideration of your health conditions and medical history. This is to ensure Health Services are appropriate and safe for you to use. If the Health Professional determines that a Medication is not suitable or necessary for your treatment, they have the right to not prescribe it.
9.2 You understand that:
- the Health Professional may request that you make follow up appointments before you can obtain a new prescription so that they can monitor how your treatment is working;
- some Medications may be prescribed for off label use; or
- some Medications may be in short supply or not available in Australia and may need to be compounded.

- there is no guarantee that the TGA will approve the application, and if approval is not granted, the medication cannot be prescribed to you;
- SAS approval is specific to you and cannot be transferred to another person;
- the Medication may only be supplied by pharmacies authorised to dispense SAS Medications. SAS Medications are not eligible for Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) subsidies;
- the Medication has not undergone the same level of evaluation for safety, quality and efficacy as TGA-registered medications. There may be limited information available about the Medication's side effects, interactions and long-term effects;
- you must report any adverse effects or side effects to the Health Professional immediately, and the Health Professional must report serious adverse events to the TGA (and you consent to this); and
- you must use the medication only as directed by the Health Professional and must not share it with others.
10.8 This clause will survive the termination or expiry of these Terms.
11. Peptide Therapy
11.1 As allowed by Law and professional guidelines, where medically appropriate, a Health Professional may prescribe certain peptide therapy for your use. You understand and acknowledge that:

- you are responsible for the proper storage, handling and administration of any peptides prescribed to you. Peptides must be stored correctly (usually refrigerated) and any failure to store peptides correctly may affect their safety and effectiveness; and
- use of peptides for any purpose other than as prescribed by a Health Professional is illegal.

13.2 You acknowledge and agree that:
- you are responsible for booking an appointment with the relevant Third Party Medical Providers;
- you will comply with the terms and conditions applicable to the relevant Third Party Medical Providers and any reasonable instructions provided by the Third Party Medical Providers;
- neither we nor the Health Professionals are responsible for or have control over any health services or information provided by Third Party Medical Providers.
13.3 Where you provide blood test results as part of our Services, the Health Professionals have an obligation to review these results. If any concerning markers are identified, the Health Professionals will contact you via the Platform (where there is no nominated general practitioner) or your nominated general practitioner to recommend further investigation, regardless of whether you have booked a follow-up Consultation. By accepting these Terms, you consent to the Health Professionals contacting your nominated general practitioner if concerning markers are identified in your blood test results, and you agree to provide your nominated general practitioner's contact details.

- we will raise an invoice or receipt on behalf of Health Professionals for Health Services performed by the Health Professionals and issue these to Patients;
- the payment by Patients of the Fees to us will constitute the payment by Patients to the Health Professionals for the Consultation as set out in the Booking;
- we will account to the Health Professionals for the Fees less any amounts owed to us for performance of the Services as agreed separately between us and the Health professionals under our service agreement;
- for the avoidance of doubt, it is Health Professionals, and not us, who will provide the Health Services to Patients, and that the payment of the Fees by Patients to us does not constitute Patients paying us to provide the Health Services; and
- where applicable, any invoice generated by the Platform will have the details belonging to Health Services (and not us and/or the Platform) listed as the entity making the "taxable supply" (as that term is defined by the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth)) to Patients.
