**WEIGHTWISE SPECIALISTS TERMS AND CONDITIONS**
Effective date: July 11, 2023
**1. INTRODUCTION**
WeightWise Specialists ("we", "us", "our") operates an online health platform focused on weight management, available via the WeightWise Specialists website (Website) and mobile application (App). We facilitate:
- Development and dissemination of comprehensive information on various aspects of weight loss health and weight management;
- Confidential consultations between our users and Registered Australian health practitioners ("Partner Practitioners") as well as other registered Australian health providers offering weight treatment and weight management services such as pathology providers and pharmacists ("Partner Providers", collectively known as "Partners").
We function as a virtual medical hub connecting you with Partner Practitioners specializing in weight health and weight management. Our platform eliminates the need to take time off work to sit in waiting rooms or queue at pharmacies. Instead, you can directly connect with Partners who can provide customised advice and services relevant to your concerns, falling within their field of expertise or training.
It is crucial to understand that our platform's content and any communications with WeightWise Specialists' representatives (excluding Partner Practitioners and Partner Providers) do not constitute medical advice. For accurate medical advice, please consult a Partner Practitioner, Partner Provider or your regular doctor to ensure any prescribed treatment or medication is appropriate and safe for you. WeightWise Specialists serves as a virtual medical platform linking customers with registered health providers and support staff, rather than providing health services directly.
**2. USER ACCOUNT**
In order to place orders through the Website, attend consultations with Partner Practitioners or Partner Providers, or access our App, you must register and become a customer. Each customer is limited to creating a single registered account (Account).
Registered account holders must:
- Be at least 18 years old;
- Reside in Australia;
- Be capable of entering into a legally binding agreement with WeightWise Specialists; and
- Agree to these Terms and Conditions.
As an account holder, you are required to create and maintain a secure Account password. Should you suspect any unauthorised access to your Account, immediately notify WeightWise Specialists and change your password to ensure the security of your personal information.
Upon registering for an Account, you will be required to provide personal information about yourself, including your name, age, date of birth, gender, contact details, and sensitive health information. We will handle this information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You bear the responsibility to ensure this information remains up-to-date and accurate.
You agree to provide accurate and complete information to WeightWise Specialists and the Partners, without omitting any details that a reasonable person would consider relevant to the services you seek through the Platforms.
It is your responsibility to inform your regular doctor of any medications or treatments prescribed by our Partner Practitioners. If you prefer our Partner Practitioners or Partner Providers to forward information to your regular doctor on your behalf (e.g., information about prescribed medications or treatments), please inform your Partner Practitioner and provide your written consent for us to do so.
**3. ACCOUNT DEACTIVATION**
Should you wish to deactivate your Account at any time, please send your request via email to admin@WeightWiseSpecialists.com.

**4. SERVICES**
WeightWise Specialists is not responsible for, nor does it offer any warranties, express or implied, in relation to the content of any consultation between you and a Partner. Both you and your Partner Practitioner or Partner Provider are responsible for the conduct of each consultation and all associated information or communications.
Partners will uphold the same professional standards as they would during in-person consultations and may request follow-up consultations either in person or via phone if deemed clinically necessary. It is the responsibility of Partners to document each consultation and maintain your records as per the legal requirements. WeightWise Specialists may occasionally hold copies of your consultation notes, ensuring their security in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
WeightWise Specialists does not guarantee the suitability of a consultation with a Partner for your specific needs.
