Terms and Conditions of Use

Effective Date: 16 August 2021

Lucky Health Pty Ltd (ACN 613 773 149) trading as Perx Health (‘Perx Health’, ‘we’, ‘us’, or ‘our’) is a technology company specialising in the provision of various health and wellbeing services designed to assist individuals to manage and adhere to their treatment plans in a positive, effective and rewarding way (Services). The Services are delivered primarily through a mobile application (Perx App) as well as through other online platforms including our website, web applications and portals, Perx Health’s pages and accounts on third-party social media platforms and any other websites, applications or technology which we may own or operate from time to time (collectively the Perx Platforms). We have agreements in place with a number of organizations including insurers, pharmaceutical companies and medical providers (Commercial Sponsors). These Commercial Sponsors fund each program, which enables us to make the Services available for use by people like you for free. If you do not have a Commercial Sponsor, you may have a Perx individual membership which is self-sponsored or free. We also have arrangements with a number of third party business partners for the provision of rewards to Perx App users based on actions conducted through the Perx App or web portal (Rewards Partners). You acknowledge that your access to and use of any of the Perx Platforms and our Services is governed solely and exclusively by us in accordance with these Terms and Conditions of Use (Terms) which shall form a legally binding agreement between you and Perx Health. Any relationship you may have with one of our Commercial Sponsors or Rewards Partners does not affect these Terms.

You should review these Terms carefully before accessing and using our Services or any of the Perx Platforms. By indicating your acceptance to these Terms upon registration for access to the Services or any of the Perx Platforms, or by continuing to use the Services or any of the Perx Platforms, you acknowledge and agree that you have had an opportunity to read and understand these Terms and our Privacy Policy and you agree to be bound by their terms and conditions. If you do not agree with all of the terms contained in these Terms or our Privacy Policy, you should not access or use our Services or any of the Perx Platforms.

You acknowledge that we may amend these Terms from time to time. Any changes will be notified to you by email to the email address provided by you to us (if any) and also via a notification on the Perx Platforms. If you do not accept the changes to the Terms you should not continue to use the Services or any of the Perx Platforms. By using the Perx Platforms or our Services, you agree that the then current version of these Terms applies to your use of the Perx Platforms and our Services.

1. About the Perx Platforms

The Perx Platforms facilitate interactions and communication between you, Perx Health, our Commercial Sponsors, Reward Partners, healthcare professionals and other Members and third parties that you invite to communicate with you in connection with the Services.

The Perx App offers, among other things, a convenient way to set reminders for prescription medications and other health activities, to receive tailored information about your medical condition, as well as the opportunity to participate in our Perx Rewards Program and Perx Community. If you are eligible but unable to access the Perx App, once you are registered as a Member you may be able to access our Services through an online user portal on our website.

The Perx Enterprise Portal has a number of functions. It is the portal through which our Commercial Sponsors invite individuals to access and use the Perx App and through which they may view information about a Member’s use of the Perx App with that Member’s consent. Users of the Perx App may also authorise third parties such as a family member, carer, or trusted health professional to view their health information through the Perx Enterprise Portal and to follow and support them on their health journey.

Only individuals with a registered user account (Members) may access and use the Perx Platforms. A particular Member’s level of access to each of the Perx Platforms will depend on the manner in which they are authorised to become a Member. For example, a Member who is authorised to become a Member for the purposes of viewing another Member’s health information through the Perx Enterprise Portal will only have access to the Perx Enterprise Portal for that limited purpose and will not be granted access to the Perx App or related Services. Similarly, Members with access to the Perx App will not generally have access to the Perx Enterprise Portal unless authorised by another Member to do so.

2. The Service

In order to access the Services, you are required to register for a user account (Account).

Where you are eligible to access and use the Perx App you may register for an Account through either the Perx App or via a user portal on our website.

Typically, where you are a user of the Perx App your access to the Services as a Member will be authorised via the Commercial Sponsor that has enabled your access, and therefore your ongoing use of the Services through your Account is subject to the relevant Commercial Sponsor maintaining your Account access on your behalf. If you do not have a Commercial Sponsor, your access to the Services as a Member will be paid for by you and you are responsible for maintaining your Account access on your own behalf.

As noted above, in some instances you may be authorised by a Member to view their health information through the Perx Enterprise Portal. Where you are invited to access the Perx Enterprise Portal by a Member then you must register for an Account via the Perx Enterprise Portal using the special link sent to you by Perx Health.

As part of the registration process, or as part of your continued use of the Services, you may be required to provide personal information about yourself (such as identification or contact details), including:

  • an email address;
  • a preferred username;
  • certain health information, including your medical conditions, prescribed medications, health activities, and treatment plan (where you are a user of the Perx App);
  • health insurance and/or pharmacy details or such other identifier or referral code as is provided by the Commercial Sponsor that authorises your access (if applicable); and
  • credit card details to process your payment for our Services (if applicable because you are a self-sponsored user). To enable your self-sponsorship, your credit card details are collected, processed and stored directly by our third-party payment processors (Chargify LLC and Stripe Inc) pursuant to their terms of use and privacy policies. None of your credit card details are permanently stored with us.

You warrant that any information you give to Perx Health in the course of completing the registration process or at any other time is accurate, correct, complete and up to date. You must also update the information you have uploaded onto the Perx Platforms where such information changes at any time. You also acknowledge that as a Member, the “username” you create in your profile is visible to other users of the Perx Platforms.

Once you have completed the registration process, you will be a Member and will be bound by these Terms. You may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if you are a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of Australia or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Services.

  • you will not harass, impersonate, stalk or threaten another Member where interaction with other Members is made available to you on the Perx Platforms or otherwise;

  • if you have been invited by another Member to view their health information through the Perx Enterprise Portal, you will treat that health information confidentially and not disclose that health information to any third party without the express consent of the Member to whom the health information relates;

  • without limiting any of the foregoing obligations, you will comply with the Community Guidelines available at: perxhealth.com/community-guidelines/ when interacting with other Members through the Perx Platforms;

  • access and use of the Perx Platforms is limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and allows for the sole use of the Perx Platforms by you for the purposes of receiving the Services;

  • you will not use the Services or the Perx Platforms in connection with any commercial endeavours of your own;

  • you will not use the Services or the Perx Platforms for any illegal and/or unauthorised use which includes collecting email addresses of Members by electronic or other means for the purpose of sending unsolicited email or unauthorised framing of or linking to the Perx Platforms;

  • any automated use of the Perx Platforms or the Services is prohibited.

Appropriate legal action will be taken by Perx Health in respect of any use of the Perx Platforms that breaches the above terms.

You may not, without the prior written permission of Perx Health and the written permission of any other relevant rights owners, broadcast, republish, upload to a third party, transmit, communicate, post, distribute, show or play in public, adapt, change in any way or reverse engineer the Perx Health Content, the Perx Platforms or the Services or any third party content displayed on the Perx Platforms for any purpose, unless otherwise expressly provided by these Terms.

6. Perx Rewards Program

Background:

If you are an eligible Member with access to the Perx App or the web portal we may make available a reward program (Reward Program) to you, where you may be eligible to receive rewards such as gift cards, charity donations made on your behalf to nominated charities and other items (collectively, Rewards) by performing certain actions related to your medication or health regime (Rewarded Actions) and recording your performance of those actions on the Perx Platforms. Rewarded Actions may include taking your medications according to your medication schedule, the performance of other prescribed healthcare and health related activities, and other in-app actions. Some Rewarded Actions may require verification through the Perx App including via a photo submission, document upload or a connected device.

We offer different Reward Programs to different Commercial Sponsors and their Members. Where your access to our Services has been authorised by one of our Commercial Sponsors the Reward Program made available to you will be the Reward Program agreed with the Commercial Sponsor with whom you are associated. If you are not associated with one of our Commercial Sponsors then we will assign a Reward Program to you at our sole discretion.

Reward Program Terms:

We reserve the right to determine, in our sole discretion, whether a particular action qualifies as a Rewarded Action for the purposes of the Reward Program. After completing a Rewarded Action you may be automatically entered into an instantaneous simulated game which takes place within the Perx App and gives you the opportunity to receive a Reward from one of our Rewards Partners (Reward Game). Reward Games are provided by Perx Health and each, but not every, Reward Game may include a Reward. If you receive a Reward, it will instantaneously be credited to your Account. Your entry into and participation in the Reward Program and any Reward Game is subject to the following terms and conditions:

  • NO ENTRY FEE. NO PURCHASE OR OTHER PAYMENT REQUIRED TO ENTER OR WIN. ANY REWARD OBTAINED IS VOID WHERE YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE REWARD PROGRAM IS PROHIBITED UNDER THESE TERMS;
  • in order to participate in the Reward Program and accrue Rewards you must be at least 12 years of age and be a valid Member with a registered Account;
  • your eligibility for a Reward is based upon your history of Rewarded Actions and the Rewards you have previously received through our Services. There is no guarantee your participation in any Reward Games will result in your receiving a Reward. Perx Health reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify you from receiving or claiming Rewards at any time;
  • each Reward Game is conducted by a computer program and the results are final and binding;
  • the user interface and game visuals for each specific Reward Game are provided for convenience only and are not intended to represent the way in which Rewards are allocated by the computer program or intended to be indicative of your chance of winning a Reward. As noted below, your chance of winning a Reward is determined by a number of other factors;
  • the Rewards provided in Reward Games will depend on many factors, including the types of Rewards that you have unlocked in the Perx App, the types of Rewards available in your Reward Program, and the availability of each type of Reward;
  • the total value of Rewards that you are eligible to receive during any given period (Maximum Reward Allocation) is determined by Perx Health in its sole discretion. The Maximum Reward Allocation may vary depending on the particular Reward Program that you are enrolled in. If you complete all Rewarded Actions then you will receive the Maximum Reward Allocation;
  • increasing the number of Rewarded Actions available to you will not increase the value of your Maximum Reward Allocation or the number of Rewards that you will earn. For example, scheduling additional medication tasks will not change the Maximum Reward Allocation in your Reward Program;
  • the actions of other Members do not influence the value of Rewards available to you nor the likelihood of you earning a Reward for completing a Rewarded Action;
  • if you earn a Reward, you will be notified immediately via the Perx App or the web portal, and the Reward will be available for your redemption in the Perx App or via the web portal;
  • if you cannot be contacted, are ineligible or fail to claim a Reward within seven (7) days of the Reward Game, the Reward may be forfeited.

Please note that you may be required to provide additional information to Perx Health or a Rewards Partner in order to redeem certain Rewards, and that in rare circumstances a processing fee may also be applicable to the redemption of Rewards.

We will use reasonable efforts to ensure that any Rewards that you obtain through participation in a Reward Game are viewable via your Account within 7 days. You should contact us if it has been more than 7 days and the Rewards have not been applied to your Account. We may also, at our discretion, delay any Reward redemption in order to validate or verify your actions via the Service and/or your adherence to these Terms.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Rewards are not transferable and can only be used in accordance with these Terms and any terms and conditions specified by the Rewards Partner who makes the Reward available;
  • Rewards are not redeemable for any sum of money or monetary value, or exchangeable in any other way;
  • substitution of Rewards is not permitted, except at the sole discretion of Perx Health for a Reward of equal or lesser value;
  • we are not responsible or liable for any unredeemed, unused or lost Rewards;
  • Rewards may expire 6 months after the Rewards are earned via the Service. We reserve the right to issue Rewards that may have a longer or shorter expiration date, and to remove Rewards from your Account and cancel them to correct errors or if we believe you were not entitled to receive the Reward. You will not be provided with notice of expiration, forfeiture or removal of rewards, and you are not entitled to any compensation where this occurs;
  • you are solely responsible for any and all federal, state and local taxes, if any, that apply to Rewards earned through the Reward Program;
  • not all Rewards Partners you see represented in our Perx Reward Program are sponsors of Perx Health or otherwise affiliated with Perx Health. The logos and other identifying marks displayed on the Perx Platforms or in connection with our Services are trademarks of and owned by each represented company and/or its affiliates;
  • the Perx App runs on various mobile devices, including Apple Inc’s iPhone, and devices running Google Inc’s Android operating system. Neither Apple Inc, nor Google Inc, nor any of their subsidiaries, nor any third-party mobile device manufacturer is a sponsor of the Perx Reward program. None of them are involved in any way with the Reward Program, the Rewards or responsible for the mechanics of the Rewarded Actions; and
  • Perx Health may modify or discontinue the Reward Program, or any Rewards related thereto, at any time.

The Rewards Program is subject to these Terms (including the provisions of this clause 6) and all applicable, federal and state laws and regulations that may apply.

Redemption and Use of Rewards:

While your participation in the Reward Program and each Reward Game is governed by these Terms, your redemption and use of any Reward will be governed by the terms and conditions of redemption/usage as stipulated by the relevant third-party Rewards Partner at the time the Reward is provided to you. You agree that Perx Health is not responsible for any third-party Reward terms and conditions, and disclaims any and all liability relating thereto. Your participation in the Rewards Program and your use of any Rewards is at your own risk.

7. Privacy

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL PRIOR TO USING THE SERVICES, PARTICULARLY IF YOU HAVE A PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITION. YOU SHOULD NEVER DISREGARD MEDICAL ADVICE OR DELAY IN SEEKING IT BECAUSE OF INFORMATION YOU HAVE READ ON THE PERX PLATFORMS OR ANY MEDICAL HISTORY DATA YOU RECEIVE THROUGH OUR SERVICES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH YOUR HEALTH REGIME.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law and except where the relevant liability arises as a result of fraud or wilful misconduct on the part of Perx Health, Perx Health hereby excludes all liability to you for any loss or damage (including, without limitation, direct, incidental, indirect, consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages or any loss of business, interest, goodwill, revenue, profit or loss or corruption of data) arising out of:

  • your access to, or use of, or inability to access or use the Perx Platforms or the Services;

We acknowledge that certain laws and regulations may imply warranties or conditions or impose obligations, remedies or guaranties which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by law. To the extent that such laws or regulations apply, these Terms must be read subject to those laws and regulations. If those laws and regulations apply, notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, and to the extent permitted by law, Perx Health limits its liability pursuant to those laws and regulations to the resupply of the Services or the payment of the cost of having the Services supplied again.

Perx Health’s liability in connection with the Services is reduced proportionately in the event that you contributed to any claim or loss suffered by you.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Perx Health, its affiliates, employees, agents, contributors, third party content providers, licensors and any Commercial Sponsor or Reward Partner from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, costs, expenses, loss and damage (including legal fees on a full indemnity basis) incurred, suffered or arising out of or in connection with:

Use of any such third-party software will be governed by the applicable license agreement, if any, with such third party. Perx Health is not responsible for any third-party software and will have no liability of any kind for your use of such third-party software and makes no warranty of any kind with respect to such third-party software.

12. Changes to the Services

We may, from time to time and without notice, change, add to or remove all or any part of the Services. In the event that we make changes to the Services, your access to the Perx Platforms and any information contained on it may be limited or unavailable on a temporary or permanent basis. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any loss such suspension, termination, change or discontinuance may cause. We reserve the right to cease providing the Services at any time and for any reason.

13. Termination of these Terms

You may suspend your use of the Services at any time by deleting the Perx App from your device or ceasing to access the online web-portal or the Perx Enterprise Portal. If you want to terminate these Terms and your Membership, you may do so at any time by emailing support@perxhealth.com.

Perx Health may, at any time, suspend or terminate these Terms and/or your Membership if:

  • you have breached any provision of the Terms, or Perx Health reasonably suspects that you have breached these Terms (in its absolute discretion);
  • Perx Health forms the view, in its absolute discretion, that your use of the Services may result in harm to your health and wellbeing;
  • Perx Health is required to do so by law;
  • Perx Health is transitioning to no longer providing the Services to Members in the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Service;
  • the provision of the Services to you by Perx Health is, in the opinion of Perx Health, no longer commercially viable;
  • if you are eligible to access the Services based on your membership of, or relationship with, an organization that is one of our Commercial Sponsors, and you stop being a member of, or having any relationship with, that organization or if you no longer qualify for the Services under that organization’s policies and procedures. A request from or any other action taken by a Commercial Sponsor to suspend or terminate your Membership will be sufficient basis for Perx Heath to suspend or terminate your Membership; or
  • you were authorised by a particular Member to access the Perx Enterprise Portal and the authorising Member revokes its authorisation for you to access the Perx Enterprise Portal and view their health information. A request from or any other action taken by the relevant authorising Member to suspend or terminate your access to the Perx Enterprise Portal will be sufficient basis for Perx Health to suspend or terminate your access to the Perx Enterprise Portal.

When the Terms come to an end, all of the legal rights, obligations and liabilities that you and Perx Health have benefited from, been subject to (or which have accrued over time whilst the Terms have been in force) or which are expressed to continue indefinitely, shall be unaffected by this cessation, and the provisions of this clause shall continue to apply to such rights, obligations and liabilities indefinitely. Any indemnities are intended to survive termination of these Terms.

You are not entitled to a refund or compensation upon suspension or termination of these Terms or your Membership unless otherwise required by law.
