TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BUYING PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND JUST BROWSING

Welcome to AdvanceMed!

In these terms, we also refer to AdvanceMed as “our”, “we”, or “us”.

And you are you!

What are these terms about?

These terms apply when you use this website, being https://advancemed.com.au/, https://my.advancemed.com.au and any other websites we operate with the same domain name and a different extension, or through a third party platform (“Website”).

These terms also apply when you purchase products, courses, consultations, or any other services through our Websites (together, the “Services”).

If you’re looking for our Privacy Policy, which we will comply with and you also agree to be bound by, you can find it here: https://advancemed.com.au/privacy/. 

How do I read these terms?

We separated these terms into three parts, so they are easy to read and understand.

Those parts are:

  • Part A: Terms for when you buy Services (applies when you buy)
  • Part B: Terms for when you browse and interact with this Website (applies when you browse)
  • Part C: Liability and warranties, and interpretation provisions (applies to both buying and browsing)

Please let us know if you have any questions about these terms, and don’t continue using this Website or purchase any Services unless you have read and agree to these terms.

I’ve returned to your Website, do I need to read these terms again?

Once you pay for a Service, the terms accepted at the point of sale will apply to your purchase of those Services. However, please note that we may change any part of these terms at any time by updating this page of the Website, so you may find that different terms apply next time you use this Website or purchase Services.
