Q Medical Weight Loss Terms and Conditions

These Terms and conditions apply to the transactions related to our services at Q Medical Weight Loss Clinic. You may be bound by additional contracts related to your relationship with us or any services that you receive from us. If any provisions of the additional contracts conflict with any provisions of these Terms, the provisions of these additional contracts will control and prevail.

These Terms are governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of New Zealand. If any part of provision of the Terms is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
We may in our reasonable discretion change these Terms, or any aspect of the subscription by posting the changes on our website. Your continued use of our services after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the change.
By registering with our practice, you hereby agree to be bound by these Terms and conditions set forth below. The use of our services implies the knowledge and acceptance of these Terms and conditions. In some particular cases, we can also ask you to explicitly agree.
To access our services, you may be required to provide certain information about yourself as part of the registration process. You agree that any information you provide will always be accurate, correct, and up to date.
Except for obligations to pay money hereunder, no delay, failure or omission by either party to carry out or observe any of its obligations hereunder will be deemed to be a breach of these Terms and conditions if and for as long as such delay, failure or omission arises from any cause beyond the reasonable control of that party.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses, relating to your violation of these Terms and conditions, and applicable laws, including intellectual property rights and privacy rights. You will promptly reimburse us for our damages, losses, costs and expenses relating to or arising out of such claims.

Failure to enforce any of the provisions set out in these Terms and Conditions and any Agreement, or failure to exercise any option to terminate, shall not be construed as waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the validity of these Terms and Conditions or of any Agreement or any part thereof, or the right thereafter to enforce each and every provision.

PAYMENT

You acknowledge that: a) All services may attract a fee; and b) you remain liable for all fees, costs and disbursements (e.g. Laboratory testing) charged by us for the services provided notwithstanding that these may be recoverable by us from a third party (e.g. insurance providers).
