​

Important information and who we are

​

These are the terms of supply for services (Terms of Service) provided through our mobile application (App). The App is operated by or on behalf of On The Mend International Ltd (we, us, our and On The Mend). We are a limited company, registered in England and Wales. Our registered company number is 10758082, and our registered office is at 1-3 Worship Street, 2nd Floor C/O Buckworths, London, England, EC2A 2AB. Our VAT registration number is 323 6767 90.

​

We have created the App to help patients keep track of information about their treatment and physical rehabilitation, including for use in pilot studies or research projects and to share the data with the healthcare partners that are involved in their treatment and/or develop new and existing technologies to improve healthcare. Our carefully selected partners may include, for example, health professionals or any other entity involved in research and development relating to services provided by On The Mend.

​

We provide access to users (each a User) of the App and the services offered on the App (Services) to you on the basis of these Terms of Service. By using any Service you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

​

Use of your personal information submitted to or via the App is governed by our privacy policy (Privacy Policy), a link to which can be found on the App, which explains how we use your personal data. Your use of the App may also be subject to the terms or policies applied by any third-party provider or operator from whose platform you downloaded the App.

​

We remain the owner of the App at all times.

​

We may revise these Terms of Service from time to time and will notify you if we are making any substantive changes. These Terms of Service for App users were last updated on 20 January 2021.

​

In these Terms of Service:

​

• any reference to any gender includes any reference to the other genders;

• a reference to a person includes a corporate or unincorporated body or association (whether or not having separate legal personality) or natural person;

• a reference to a statute or statutory provision is a reference to it as it is in force for the time being, taking account of any amendment, extension, or re-enactment and includes any subordinate legislation for the time being in force made under it; and

• headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the extent or scope of such section.

 

​

Please review these Terms of Service carefully and make sure that you understand them before using the Services or App.  By using the App and/or the Services offered by On The Mend, you will be deemed to have unequivocally agreed to these Terms of Service without any amendment.

 

​Registering with us

​

During the initial registration process, you will have the option to either connect with your health or care professional or to ‘Skip’ this part of the process.

If you select the option to ‘Skip’ connecting to your health or care professional at this stage, you are still able to do so at a later stage within the App. You will then receive a question as to whether you would like to continue using the App without connecting to your healthcare professional. By not connecting to your healthcare professional, your access to the use of the App’s features will be reduced.

Connecting to a health or care professional

You will have two opportunities to connect to a health or care professional within the App, by inserting their email address. It remains a decision of the health or care professional in their sole and absolute discretion whether they wish to accept this invitation to connect within the App. On The Mend accepts no liability for any loss resulting from any refusal by a health or care professional to accept an invitation to connect within the App. Following the second failed attempt to connect with a health or care professional within the App, you will be asked to insert the email address of an alternative health or care professional.

Once you have connected to a health or care professional

You hereby agree that any data you have input into the App, including but not limited to, contact information and historical medical information, will be copied to the health or care professional’s web portal once an invitation to connect has been accepted. On The Mend shall not be liable for the misuse of any data uploaded to a health or care professional’s web portal following a connection. For the avoidance of doubt, the health or care professional will not receive any of your data until they have accepted an invitation to connect.

You should only use this App if:

​

• you accept that your use of the App’s features will be limited should you attempt to use the App without connecting to, or being unable to connect to, a healthcare professional;

• your surgeon, doctor, or other health or care professional has recommended you download and use the App as part of your care and rehabilitation process pre-or-post treatment, or where you have been invited to use the App as part of your involvement in a pilot study or research project, or where you have been referred to the App by a charitable organisation;

• you agree to download and use the App in accordance with these Terms of Service;

• you agree to provide your email address and telephone number to your surgeon, doctor or other health or care professional and agree that it can be shared with us to the extent necessary to provide you with the Services; and

• you acknowledge that the App is intended for use only by persons who are at least 13 years of age. By using the App, you confirm to us that you meet this requirement and that, if you are under the age of 18, you have received permission from your parent or guardian before using the App.

 

​

After providing your email address and telephone number, you will receive an SMS message containing your PIN code. Please do not share this PIN code with anyone else; it is for your personal use only.

​

Upon downloading the App, you (in your capacity as a User) must set up your account (Account) with us by completing the account registration form in the App. You will need to provide your name and email address, as well as the pin-code provided to you via an SMS. You only need to register once. You must provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information. You are responsible for the information you provide to us.

​​

Password

​

Upon registration for an account with us, you will be asked to create a password.

​

You must keep your password confidential at all times and use it only to access and use your account and not for any other purpose. You are the only authorised User of your Account (unless expressly specified otherwise in the relevant Service description on our App) and, accordingly, you must not disclose your password to anyone else.

​

You should contact us immediately upon discovering any unauthorised use of your account or error in the operation of your password (see the ‘Contacting us’ section below for further details). Any breach of these Terms of Service and/or any use of your account by anyone to whom you disclose your password will be treated as if the breach or use had been carried out by you, and will not relieve you of your obligations to us.

​

The App does not provide medical advice

​

The App is provided for general information purposes only and does not provide medical advice. Any information on the App is designed as educational material, should not be taken as a recommendation for treatment and is not tailored to your particular needs. Use of the App does not create a doctor-patient or similar relationship between us and you.

​

Although we try to personalise your experience, the App should never be relied upon as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment from a qualified health or care professional familiar with your medical history, and should not be relied on to make decisions about your health. The App only handles general patient-related data, which cannot be used to diagnose or prescribe treatment in your particular case. Only your surgeon, doctor or other health or care professional can do that.

​

This App should not be relied upon as your sole means of contact or engagement with any health or care professional. While using the App, you must continue to engage with the health or care professionals responsible for your care in such manner as they direct. Where any part of the App is unavailable for any period of time you should continue to contact the health or care professionals responsible for your care as usual and as necessary for your treatment using other appropriate means. We accept no liability for your failure to do so.

​

Never ignore or delay professional medical advice in seeking treatment because of something you have learned or seen using the App. As you continue to recover, you should continue being in touch with your surgeon, doctor or other health or care professional as instructed by them and should always consult them before taking or refraining from any action on the basis of the information you obtain from the App.

​

We are not responsible for any medical advice provided, whether through the App or otherwise, by your surgeon, doctor or any other health or care professional.

 

Except as expressly set out in these Terms of Service, we make or give no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, currency, correctness, reliability, integrity, quality, fitness for purpose or originality of any content of the App and to the fullest extent permitted by law, all implied warranties, conditions or other terms of any kind are hereby excluded and we accept no liability for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of you or anyone else using the App or relying on any of its content.

​

We are not responsible for any actions, decisions or recommendations of your surgeon, doctor, other healthcare professionals or the administrators of any research projects or clinical studies you are involved in. We are not a registry, and as such, we do not review, and are not required to review, the data received through the App from you, your surgeon, doctor, other healthcare professionals or the administrators of any research projects or clinical studies you are involved in.

​

Changes to the service

​

As it is our policy continually to review and update the services we offer through the App, we reserve the right to make changes to the App, and/or to these Terms of Service from time to time.

​

You may be asked to agree to these Terms of Service again from time to time when they are changed. By continuing to use the Services and/or the App after changes to these Terms of Service have been made and notified to you, you will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by such changes.

​

Service suspension & termination

​

We may, from time to time, with or without prior notice, temporarily suspend the operation of any service and/or any part of the App (in whole or in part) for repair or maintenance work or in order to update or upgrade any contents, features or functionality. Where the App is unavailable for any period of time, you should continue to contact your surgeon, doctor (or other medical professional responsible for your care) and the administrators of any clinical studies or research projects you are participating in via the App, as usual and as necessary for your treatment or research participation, using other appropriate means. You should not rely on this App as your sole means of contact with your surgeon, doctor or any other healthcare professional or researcher.

​

We may, with or without prior notice, terminate any contract between you and us (Contract) or suspend and/or terminate any Service and/or your use of your account in the event that you have breached any of these Terms of Service.

​

We maintain the right to withdraw your ability to use the App at any time, if we understand, after consultation with your surgeon, doctor or other healthcare professional or the administrators of a pilot study or research project in which you are involved, that the App may no longer be suitable for your medical needs. You agree to cease using the App where you are advised by your surgeon, doctor or other healthcare professional that it is no longer suitable for you to use.

​

If you have breached these Terms of Service, we may take such action as we deem appropriate. Such a breach by you may result in our taking, with or without notice, all or any of the following actions:

​

• issue of a warning to you;

• immediate, temporary or permanent removal of any content submitted by you;

• immediate, temporary or permanent withdrawal of your right to use any Service;

• legal proceedings against you for reimbursement of all recoverable loss and damage resulting from the breach; and/or

• disclosure of all relevant information to law enforcement authorities as we reasonably feel is necessary.

​

The rights described above are cumulative and are not limited, and we may take any other action we deem appropriate.

​

Upon termination of any Contract or Service or your account, for any reason:

​

• all rights granted to you under these Terms of Service will immediately cease;

• you must promptly discontinue all use of the App and delete or remove the App from all devices in your possession;

• it is your responsibility to contact your surgeon, doctor and any other healthcare professional with whom you are connected through the App to inform them that you are no longer contactable through the App.

​

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later: If we fail to enforce any of our rights, that does not result in a waiver of that right. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms of Service, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breach of this contract, this will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking action against you at a later date.

If a court finds part of this agreement illegal, the rest will continue in force: If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be unenforceable, all other provisions shall remain unaffected.

​

You may not vary these terms: These Terms of Service may not be varied except with our express written consent.
