1. GENERAL

We agree to provide the physiotherapy services to you on the terms set out in this Agreement. This document represents the entire understanding between the Parties, and – except for those terms implied by law and which cannot be excluded and any other terms specifically incorporated by reference – no other terms apply.

2. CONSENT

You signify your consent to this Agreement by purchasing any physiotherapy services from the web site. We do alter this Agreement from time to time, and you must review this document before each purchase. This document was last changed on 20 March 2020.

3. PURPOSE AND NATURE OF OUR PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICES

You acknowledge that –

  • no online service is a perfect substitute for an “in-person” consultation with a physiotherapist; and
  • we are unable to guarantee that our treatments will result in a cure of your particular complaint or condition. We recommend treatments that we believe are likely (based upon our experience and training) to be effective, but we cannot guarantee results.

4. SUITABILITY OF OUR PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICES

It may become obvious to us that our physiotherapy services are not suitable for you. In these circumstances, we will not provide the physiotherapy services to you. Instead, we will refund any money paid to you and will suggest an alternative course of action.

8. LIABILITY

a. Statutory Terms: The laws in force in Victoria imply certain terms into contracts between consumers and businesses. These include warranties that our services are to be delivered with due care and skill, and that they are reasonably fit for the purposes for which they are intended. Such terms form part of this Agreement, and no part of this Agreement is intended to exclude, restrict or modify those terms or our liability to you for breach of those terms.

b. Exclusion: Subject to sub-clause (a) above and our obligation under any law not to exclude or restrict our liability to you, we exclude all liability to you which is related in any way to your use of our physiotherapy services –

c. Limitation: Where liability cannot be excluded under sub-clause (b) above, any liability incurred by us in relation to our physiotherapy services is limited to $1,000 unless we specifically agree on an alternative amount with you. We would be prepared to agree to increase the cap on our liability in return for you paying a higher fee for our physiotherapy services.
