Accessing the Platform

We hereby grant you permission to access and use the Platform solely for your personal non-commercial purposes and only as permitted by these Terms of Use, with the primary objective of accessing the Services (as defined below). Thus, we may suspend your access to the Platform or terminate your account with us if your use of the Platform or the Services breaches any of these Terms of Use. In addition, we may withdraw, suspend, or discontinue any functionality or feature of the Platform or Services for any reason, notably if the Platform or Services are affected by any unforeseeable event, including external causes with the same characteristics.

Technical or security threats or issues affecting the Platform may require us to suspend the Services to ensure they are secure and/or operating optimally. We are not responsible to you if this happens, but if it does, we will notify you as soon as we can and take the steps that we reasonably can to minimise the interruption to the Platform access and the Services.

 

The Services 

The Platform is a health and well-being solution that enables a User to engage with and improve their well-being by using a range of physical, mental, financial, and social well-being tools to set goals and progressively work towards achieving them by tracking their actions, interacting with informational content, and receiving nudge style notifications (the "Services").

The Platform supports corporate team challenges and customisable content such as articles, videos, and surveys, which are managed both centrally and through an online content management tool called Contentful. Customisable content areas will be managed centrally through online access to Contentful.

The information provided through the Services and throughout the Platform is intended for education and skill development purposes only. It is not intended to be comprehensive, nor to constitute professional or medical advice or be used as a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. The information does not constitute psychotherapy and is not intended to suggest or recommend a course of treatment or replace personal consultation with a qualified health care professional or mental health specialist. You should always obtain professional or medical advice, appropriate to your own circumstances, with any questions you may have regarding a health or medical condition. Never disregard, avoid or delay obtaining advice from your doctor or other qualified health provider due to something you read on the Platform.

Limitation of Liability

We are providing the Platform on an "as is" and "as available" basis and make no representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, validity, or fitness for any particular purpose when it comes to the Platform, the Services or the content contained in the Platform (including any text, graphics, advertisements, links or other items) and disclaim all such representations and warranties.

The above does not affect our liability for death or personal injury arising from our negligence, nor our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or misrepresentation as to a fundamental matter, nor any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
