Please read these terms and conditions carefully, as by downloading, accessing or using the App or Services you are accepting that you are bound by the current terms and conditions in full.
1. IMPORTANT LIABILITY STATEMENT
NOT A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER: Careology is not a healthcare provider and the App is not a medical device. Careology only provides a tool to enable you to log or view a range of information relating to the healthcare treatment for the Patient and this tool will not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any health issues or make any recommendations concerning the Patient's healthcare or treatment. The information available on or through this App and/or the Services supplied via or in connection with this App do not constitute medical advice and it is the Patient's sole responsibility to seek the advice of a healthcare provider if the Patient and/or Caregiver have any concerns, or at any time the Patient feels unwell. It is also the Patient's sole responsibility to determine, through obtaining appropriate medical advice, that such contents and services are suitable for the Patient. In any case, the Patient should consult a doctor before starting to use the App or Services. It is the Caregiver's sole responsibility to contact the Patient if the Caregiver is at any time concerned about the Patient's health or wellbeing and to take the appropriate course of action as the Caregiver sees fit.
CLOSED COMMUNITY: A "Closed Careology Community" may consist of up to one Patient, one or more Caregivers, one or more Medical Providers, and will exist for the Patient's benefit. A Patient may download the version of the App designed for Patients and access the related Services (provided it accepts these terms), a Caregiver may download the version of the App designed for Caregivers and access the related Services (provided it accepts these terms), and a Medical Provider may download and use the Clinical Interface (provided it accepts the related terms), in each case on its own volition or upon receipt of an invitation containing a unique code from another party in the Closed Careology Community. Any member of a Closed Careology Community may leave the group at any time (which will not affect that Closed Careology Community), provided that any related charges continue to be paid for the Closed Careology Community in accordance clause 6. Also note that the Careology solution can alert members of the Closed Careology Community when Content (as that term is defined in the Privacy Policy) about the Patient is submitted to the App by any member in your Closed Careology Community. Please be aware that a healthcare provider in your Closed Careology Community may not see this Content or an alert on its Clinical Interface. This is not our responsibility. You must always immediately contact a healthcare provider if you have any concerns regarding the health of the Patient and you should not assume that Content has been seen or wait to be contacted. Note that the Closed Careology Community functionality is only available as part of the paid-for premium service offering.
LIABILITY: Careology will publish health and cancer-related information such as tips, recipes, articles and product recommendations from time to time of the App or Site. This informational content may be developed either by Careology or third parties (wherein the intellectual property rights in any third party materials vest in and belong to that third party or its licensors) and may be provided on a general or personalised basis, based on the information that has been provided to us. We will use reasonable care and skill in providing the informational content above and the Services to you. As long as we have done that, we make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, currency, correctness, reliability, integrity, quality, fitness for purpose or originality of any such informational content (or Content ) and, subject to the paragraph headed "the law" below, do not accept any liability for any error or omission and exclude all liability for any action you may take or loss or injury you may suffer (direct or indirect including loss of pay, profit, opportunity or time, pain and suffering, any indirect, consequential or special loss, however arising) as a result of you using or relying on any information on this App or Site or provided through any Service supplied by us to you. We remind you that Careology is not a healthcare provider and it is the Patient's sole responsibility to seek the advice of your healthcare provider if you have any concerns or the Patient at any time feels unwell and the Caregiver's sole responsibility to contact the Patient if the Caregiver is at any time concerned about the Patient's health or wellbeing and to take the appropriate course of action as the Caregiver sees fit.
ACCURACY OF INFORMATION: It is vital that you supply us with correct information about yourself (including any information supplied by you on the App or when creating an account). Some of the Services are based on that information and we cannot be liable for any incorrect information supplied to us by you or (if applicable) information relating to the Patient provided by anyone in the Closed Careology Community. In order to continue to provide you with a high quality of service it is important that you regularly update the health information that you give to us. If you do not do this, the tools and content which we recommend to you may become unsuitable for you and the Patient (as applicable).
THE LAW: We do not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability which may not by applicable law be excluded or limited and we do not do so and your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected. Subject to that, our liability to you in each year is limited to the total amount of premium charges payable to Careology by the Paying Party (as that term is defined in clause 6) in respect of your individual Closed Careology Community (if applicable) in any 12 month period and is strictly limited to loses that were reasonably foreseeable.
DEVICES: Some of the Services require the Patient to use sensors / wearable technologies, such as exercise, activity, heart rate, temperature, weight, and blood pressure monitors that are not under Careology's control (Third Party Connectivity) to access those Services. This may include the opportunity for the Patient to link to the App with the Third Party Connectivity data. Careology is in no way responsible or liable for any Third Party Connectivity products, services or related data (including the accuracy, completeness, currency, correctness, reliability, integrity, quality, fitness for purpose or originality of that data) used in connection with your App/Services. You acknowledge that any Third Party Connectivity that the Patient uses in connection with the App and/or the Services are not part of the Careology App and/or Service and are not controlled by Careology and the Patient takes sole responsibility and assumes all risk arising from the Patient's interactions with any use of or reliance on any Third Party Connectivity products, services or data.

A Patient [or Caregiver] may elect to receive paid for premium features (in addition to the free standard features). A detailed description of the premium features and associated pricing plans can be viewed in the App and on the Site and includes for example, access to enhanced features and the creation of a Closed Careology Community via an " Individual Premium Patient" plan or a "Family Premium Bundle" plan.
(b) Trial periods
Premium features can be accessed and used free of charge for a trial period which will be clearly specified (at the point of download) to the individual who has elected to receive the paid for premium features for the first time, which will either be the Patient or Caregiver as the context requires ("Paying Party"). [Each party in a Closed Careology Community may also use and access the premium features selected by the Paying Party where the Paying Party has subscribed for a premium plan that permits that individual to create a Closed Careology Community]. An individual will not be eligible to a trial period if they have already used or accessed a trial period in accordance with these terms.
(c) Paying the charges
The Paying Party must pay the premium plan charges in accordance with the applicable scenario below:
(i) If the Paying Party is eligible for a free trial period and:
(A) if the Parting Party downloaded the App and first signed up for the paid for premium services via a third party App store (and not using the link on our Site); at the end of the trial period the Paying Party will be automatically charged for the rates in the pricing plan selected by the Paying Party (at the point the Paying Party first downloaded the premium features) on expiry of that promotional period unless you email us on support@careology.health; or
(B) if the Parting Party downloaded the App and first signed up for the paid for premium services using the link on our Site (and not via a third party App store); prior to the end of the trial period, we will send the Paying Party a link to our Site and, if the Paying Party wishes to continue receiving premium features (for itself and if applicable, the entire Closed Careology Community), it must elect to receive (and pay for) one of the plans at the associated rates specified on the Site on and from the end of the trial period. If the Paying Party does not elect to receive (and pay for) the premium plan in accordance with these terms; access to the premium features by the Paying Party and if applicable, the entire Closed Careology Community will terminate at the end of the trial period.
(ii) If the Paying Party is not eligible for a free trial period or does not wish to use the free trial period offered to it, the Paying Party will be automatically charged for the rates in the pricing plan selected by the Paying Party (at the point the Paying Party first downloaded the premium features) regardless of whether the premium features were accessed via a third party App store or using the link on our Site.,
(d) Pricing models
The premium features will be available for purchase for varying commitment periods (e.g., 3 months, 6 months or one year) and you may have a choice of paying an up-front fee for such periods or to pay monthly or on an annual basis as stated on the Site and App. Additionally, we may offer other promotional premium services which offer a one off up-front payment fee (e.g., for 3 months) with a commitment to subscribe for e.g., the following 9 months. Monthly subscription may be available with a specified number of months' commitment, or with no commitment.
(e) Payment
The Paying Party is fully liable for the costs associated with the selected premium plan (Premium Charges) except where, if applicable, it has requested that another party in the Closed Careology Community pays (and becomes fully liable for) those Premium Charges (in full), and that other party has agreed (and we have seen valid confirmation of such).
Payment for the Premium Charges will be made via the Site or within the App in accordance with the procedure and pricing explained on the Site. Information displayed on the App, Site or the third party application store as to pricing and availability is subject to change by Careology without notice (although the price of a plan for a fixed period will not change for the duration of that period). The premium services will be available for use immediately once you have downloaded the App and the Premium Charges have been paid for either in respect of the Paying Party or the entire Closed Careology Community (if applicable) as / when required.
We will collect all fees due from the Paying Party's debit/credit card nominated to us upon registration unless we are notified that the Paying Party has changed (and new valid debit/credit card details have been provided to us along with the appropriate authority) or have reason to believe that the Patient's circumstances may have changed (in which case we will contact the Closed Careology Community to discuss this). As stated below, we may suspend or cancel any Services (including premium services) and the entire Closed Careology Community subscription (if applicable) in the event of problems with the relevant debit/credit card.
(f) Automatic renewals
If a:
(i) pay-monthly subscription with no commitment period is selected, the subscription will automatically renew at the end of each month on the same terms and the related monthly Premium Charges will continue to be collected from the Paying Party's debit/credit card until we or the Paying Party cancel the subscription (for the entire Closed Careology Community if applicable) on at least 28 days' notice by emailing this information to us at support@careology.health [or unless you have "opted out" of continuing to receive the premium services in response to the email we will send you prior to the end of the month]; or
(ii) subscription with a fixed commitment period (e.g., 6 months) is selected then (whether it is pay-monthly or pay up-front, at the end of that period) the subscription will automatically renew at the end of that period on the same terms and the related Premium Charges will be collected from the Paying Party's debit/credit card until we or the Paying Party cancel the subscription (for the entire Closed Careology Community if applicable) on at least 28 days' notice by emailing this information to us at support@careology.health or unless you have "opted out" of continuing to receive the premium services [on the new monthly rates] in response to the email we will send you 14 days prior to the end of the fixed commitment period.
In either case:
(i) where the premium plan includes access to a Closed Careology Community, we will notify the entire Closed Careology Community if: (a) the Paying Party provides such notice to cancel the subscription and ceases paying the Premium Charges; or (b) we have reason to believe the Patient's circumstances may have changed and wish to discuss whether the premium services are still required. The remaining members of the Closed Careology Community will have 28 days to notify us that they do not wish to terminate the Closed Careology Community and that one party is willing to assume all responsibility for the Premium Charges going forwards (and therefore become the Paying Party for the purposes of these terms and conditions) by emailing us on support@careology.health; or
(ii) where the premium plan does not include access to a Closed Careology Community and we detect inactivity on your account and/or we have reason to believe the Patient's circumstances may have changed, we will contact you to discuss whether the premium services are still required.
(g) Cancelation
A Paying Party may cancel in its sole discretion the subscription to the premium features (for the entire Closed Careology Community if applicable) within 14 days after we email the Paying Party to confirm we accept your order without penalty by emailing us at support@careology.health. Premium Charges are otherwise non-refundable. The rights of cancellation and refund and any limitation expressed in these terms and conditions do not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. Refunds in relation to Services may only be credited to the credit or debit card originally used to make the purchase. If we are unable to put the refund through on this card for any reason, we will try to contact you to discuss alternative arrangements.
(h) Changing Plans
A Paying Party may change its premium plan at any time by emailing us at support@careology.health.
