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 either in person at the pharmacy, in writing or electronically through the Software.
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.
If you register electronically, you must provide us with certain information including your Medicare Number (please see our Privacy Policy for full details) which we will forward to your Favourite Pharmacy. Your Favourite Pharmacy is responsible for confirming your information matches that in its dispense account. If your Favourite Pharmacy doesn't have a dispense account in your name, you agree that it may create one. Once linked, an activation code or confirmation message will be sent to you.
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).
If for any reason any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any statute or rule of law by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be interpreted in order to give effect to such provision to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, oral or written, and all other communications relating to the subject matter hereof.
This Agreement is personal to you and you may not assign your rights or obligations to anyone. If you have any questions about MedAdvisor's Policies, please contact us via our website: www.mymedadvisor.com.
