  1. you can obtain access through the Platform to information about certain goods and/or services
  2. Authorised Users may use the services for the Designated Use; and
  3. you can access content and other in-platform services.

(collectively, Content).

1.2 The Services are only available for use in Australia by Authorised Users. By creating an account to use our Services, you need suitable hardware and Internet access. Our Services’ performance may be affected by these factors.

1.3 Certain capitalised terms used in this Agreement are defined in clause 14 below.

2. Privacy

Your use of our Services is subject to HL's Privacy Policy, which is available from the HealthLaunch Privacy Officer at info@healthlaunch.com.au

3. Licence

3.1 Subject to compliance with this Agreement, HL grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence, without the right to sublicense, to use the Platform and Services for the Designated Use, and otherwise on the terms of this Agreement.

3.2 Any Authorised User must be approved in advance and in writing via email by HL before accessing or using the Platform.

Each Authorised User must supervise and control access to and use of the Platform in accordance with this Agreement.

3.3 If the Licence Details specify that you are granted:

4. Content

4.1 Some Content available in certain Services are acquired from the third-party provider of such Content (as displayed on the product page and/or during the acquisition process for the relevant Content), not from HL. In such cases, HL acts as an agent for the Content provider in providing the Content to you, and therefore HL is not a party to the transaction between you and the Content provider. The Content provider reserves the right to enforce the terms of use relating to such Content. The Content provider is solely responsible for such Content, any warranties to the extent that such warranties have not been disclaimed, and any claims that you or any other party may have relating to such Content.

4.2 The Platform may recommend Content to you based on information you provide to the Platform and your activities. You may opt out from receiving such personalised recommendations for some Services in your account settings. Some recommendation features may require your permission before they are turned on. If you turn on these features, you will be asked to give HL permission to collect and store certain data, including but not limited to data about you, your activity and usage of the Platform. Please carefully read the information presented when you turn on these features.

4.3 The Content on the Platform is for informational purposes only and is not intended to provide any medical advice.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 You acknowledge and agree that:

  2. you will not obtain any title to (and this Agreement will not in any way transfer or assign to you) any part of the Proprietary Property including without limitation any intellectual property rights in the Proprietary Property; and

  1. reverse compile, reverse engineer or disassemble the Platform;

6.1 If you fail, or HL suspects on reasonable grounds that you have failed, to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement, HL may, without notice to you:

7.2 Subject to clause 7.1 and to the extent permitted by law, HL:

  1. excludes all terms, conditions, guarantees, warranties and representations implied or imposed by statute, law or other source external to this Agreement (including as to the description, merchantable quality or fitness for purpose of the Platform);

10.1 Neither party will be responsible for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement due to a Force Majeure Event.
