Terms & Conditions
PLANTWISE DOCTORS TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Effective date: 7 November 2023
**1. INTRODUCTION**
PlantWise Doctors ("we", "us", "our") operates an online health platform focused on plant-based medicine, available via the PlantWise Doctors website (Website) and mobile application (App). We facilitate:
- Development and dissemination of comprehensive information on various aspects of plant-based health and wellness;
- Confidential consultations between our users and Registered Australian health practitioners ("Partner Practitioners") as well as other registered Australian health providers offering plant-based treatment and wellness 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 plant-based health and wellness. 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 customized 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 PlantWise Doctors' 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. PlantWise Doctors serves as a virtual medical platform linking customers with registered health providers and support staff, rather than providing health services directly.
PlantWise Doctors does not endorse the use of medical plant alternatives. Effects and side effects may vary due to individual factors such as physique, health, and age. Their efficacy cannot be guaranteed. For medical guidance, consult a healthcare professional. In Australia, regulatory information is available on the Therapeutic Goods Administration's website.
