3 Description of the Service

Medisanté offers various subscription plans for the Service which are published and periodically updated.

The Customer and its Users are the intended users of the Service. The Customer must obtain User consent to access and view the User´s personal data on the M+ Hub IoT platform. Any data provided by the User is technically and organizationally secured by Medisanté or its sub-processors.

The Service is intended to help Customers be more informed and proactive in managing the condition of remote Users by providing patient-generated health data in real-time for therapy support. It is not intended as a substitute for regular visits to a health care professional or verification and analysis of vital signs in a clinical setting.

A Connected Device allows patient-generated health data to be submitted and exchanged between Customer and User. As Administrator of the Service, Medisanté provides preventive maintenance, support, and troubleshooting activities for Connected Devices and the M+ Hub IoT platform. Medisanté may periodically develop and install patches, bug fixes, updates, upgrades, and other modifications to the Service. Such modifications may be done without notice or consent to maintain the Service at a top performance level.

Although Medisanté has conducted extensive testing of the Service, Medisanté is only a gateway provider and cannot guarantee the successful management of a User's condition or any medical results.

4 Registration and activation

A Customer who registers an account on the M+ Hub IoT platform is the owner of that account. When Users authorize Customers to access their personal health data, the Customers are responsible for their own actions relating to the Service. The Customer must:

provide explicit proof of the User’s consent to view their personal health data, and
inform the User that, if deemed necessary, the Customer may subsequently authorize other third parties to view their personal health data for therapy support.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree and understand that Medisanté may store, share, process and use data collected from the use of the Service. Medisanté works with other companies that help Medisanté provide the Service to you.

Any personal information collected relating to the registration for use of the Service is subject to the Data Privacy Policy of Medisanté. When using the Service, the Customer consents to reasonable action taken by Medisanté under such Data Privacy Policy. In the processing of personal data, Medisanté undertakes to comply with the provisions of the Swiss and other applicable European data protection laws.

Registration creates a Customer account identified by username and password. Customers are responsible for all activities that occur under their Customer account. Customers have sole responsibility for:

the confidentiality of the password and other user account information,
best efforts to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, the Service, and prompt notification of any such unauthorized use, and
compliance with applicable laws when using the Service.

Medisanté may refuse activation of a Customer account for any valid reason set forth in the Law.

5 Term and Termination

The Customer may start using the Service upon successful registration and activation of the Service by Medisanté. From a Medisanté standpoint, the Customer may at any time cease using the Service, however the agreed obligation from the subscription plan remains unaffected.

These Terms of Service remain in full force and effect for as long as the Customer continues to access or use the Service, or until terminated in accordance with the provisions of these Terms of Service.

These Terms of Service are subject to reasonable revision and Medisanté will inform the Customer accordingly.

The Customer undertakes to inform, pass on any changes and likewise bind its Users. Any Customer may reject any affecting material change and discontinue use without cost, penalty, or cancellation indemnity by sending a 30-day notice to that effect upon becoming or having been made aware of such change. Continued use of the Service after this 30-day term amounts to acceptance of such changes.

Medisanté may suspend or terminate a Customer’s access to the Service for valid reasons and without any liability whenever such Customer:

is in breach of this Terms of Service, or
engages in any conduct that Medisanté determines, at its discretion, may have an adverse effect on Medisanté or its reputation.

A Customer may terminate the service for convenience upon written notice to Medisanté. Upon Customer termination for convenience, no refunds apply to any amounts for the remaining term.

Medisanté may terminate for convenience upon sixty (60) days written notice. Upon termination for convenience, Medisanté will refund any unused, prepaid fees for the portion of the remaining period, if applicable, using the same means of payment used for the original transaction unless the Customer expressly agreed otherwise. The Customer shall be responsible for any transaction costs associated with such refund.

Upon termination, the Customer will no longer have access to the Service and shall return equipment provided by Medisanté after the limited term, unless the Customer has purchased such equipment upfront, or has paid in full.

6 Service Fees, Billing, and Renewal

Service fees are due 30 days after the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Please note that merely unpairing a Connected Device or not using or accessing the Service will have no impact on the subscription plan and the payment obligation remains unaffected.

Unless otherwise stated, all prices are exclusive of VAT, sales, or other similar taxes levied by the government of the Customer’s jurisdiction.

The Customer will maintain complete and accurate billing and contact information during the subscription period with Medisanté and will notify Medisanté about any inaccuracies on an invoice within 30 days after the invoice date.

Unless the Customer provides written notice of cancellation latest 30 days before the end of the subscription period, the latter will automatically be renewed

The Customer hereby commissions Medisanté to process personal data on its behalf by concluding a separate agreement in accordance with the scope and the conditions of the annex “Contractual Terms and Conditions for Data Processing”.

Medisanté also collects personal data when the Customer or User submits it to us, through registration, completion of forms or emails, as part of an order for products or services, after-sale support for products or services, inquiries or requests about products being ordered and similar situations in which data subject has chosen to provide the information to Medisanté or via the Customer.

We assume that this is of mutual interest for our Customer and the User to maintain a good business relationship. The respective data subject can object to the processing of his/her data for this purpose at any time without giving reasons by contacting Medisanté.

In the event that Medisanté is provided and receives personal data via the Customer or any other point of sale for such purpose described above, Medisanté is an independent controller under applicable data protection law.

As part of the processing of your personal data, some of the personal data provided may be stored or processed in other jurisdictions than the country the Service is made available, such as the United States, whose data protection laws may differ from this jurisdiction. In such cases, Medisanté ensures that appropriate security protections are in place to require the data processor in that foreign country to maintain protections on the personal data that are equivalent to those that apply in the country of service of Medisanté.

The Customer is obliged to inform any point of sale and its Users that it complies with applicable data protection law and personal data will be processed by Medisanté according to the terms and limitations set forth in these Terms of Service. The Customer shall, without limitation, defend, hold harmless and indemnify Medisanté in the event of damage that is attributable to the Customer's transferring of personal data or in breach of applicable data protection law.
