3. Privacy Policy and Data Protection
Innerstrength Health fully respects your right to privacy and has a strict policy of complying with the terms of the Irish Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 as well as the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) which is to be implemented in Ireland in 2018 (together, the “Act”).
At certain times, and as a result of your interaction with the Site, Innerstrength Health may hold and process personal information obtained about you and the Patient for the purposes providing you and the Patient with the Service. By registering on the Site, you consent to this collection and use of your information and that of the Patient.
In addition, you hereby acknowledge and confirm that you have received full and explicit permission from the Patient to collect, use and store their personal (to include their sensitive data as defined under the Act) data in order to allow you and Innerstrength Health to lawfully provide the Services to the Patient. For the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever, you hereby understand and confirm that Innerstrength Health is the data processor and you, as the HCP, are the data controller (as both of those terms are defined under the Irish Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003) in relation to the provision of the Services.
Please also note that we may use your data to send you and the Patient information about our products and/or services and, in addition, and as a result of using the Services you and the Patient may receive alerts via email/text etc. By using the Services you agree to these interactions and if at any time you do not wish to receive such information or do not wish the Patient to receive such information then please contact us at info@innerstrengthhealth.com and we shall desist the same – please note however that refusing to accept some alerts may hamper or completely impede your and your Patients’ use of the Services – please feel free to discuss any of these points with us at any time.
We would also add that you should be mindful that our Services can link to and collect data from third party applications (such as Apple Health and FitBit) and if such a third party application is permitted access by a Patient to their data that Innerstrength Health will not be responsible in any way for any use, disclosure or modification of such Patient data that is transmitted or accessed through the Services by any such third party application.
Innerstrength Health shall have the right to collect, use and distribute aggregated information, analysis, statistics, related benchmarking algorithms and other data generated by the Services (or derived from your use of the Services) provided, however, that we shall not disclose any such data unless such data is in an aggregated form that would not permit a third party to identify the data as associated with either you and/or a Patient.
4. Warranties and Indemnity
Innerstrength Health warrants that it will use all reasonable skill and care in the provision of the Service.
Innerstrength Health makes no warranty that the Site is free from viruses or anything else that has contaminating and/or destructive properties and it is your responsibility to adopt appropriate back-up, firewall and other precautionary security measures.
The Service is provided on an “as is” basis and all conditions and warranties or representations whether express or implied are fully excluded from this Agreement to the extent that they can be excluded as a matter of applicable law.
The Content is designed to provide general, but focused guidance on matters of healthcare interest to HCPs such as for example the 5 As, which HCPs will be familiar with (Ask, Advise, Agree, Assist, Arrange) in the provision of the Services, but such Content does not constitute professional medical or other professional advice in itself.
Equally, for Patients, the Services (to include the Content) are a means of sourcing data on their current health position in conjunction with a smartphone and wearables and sensors and by using third party applications such as Apple Health and FitBit and at no stage is any information received via the Services intended to match or exceed that of medical or scientific measurement devices as you might find in a modern hospital. Therefore, use of the Services should be seen as an accompaniment to the advice and guidance normally provided by a professional HCP to their Patient.
The Services (as well as any wearables and/or data from your smartphone and/or any third-party applications such as for example Apple Health or FitBit etc) is not meant to treat or cure any disease in and of itself and therefore, as a HCP, you should always use your own judgement and professional knowledge in evaluating the Content provided by the use of the Services. It is recommended that you consult with other HCP colleagues and other professional sources prior to (inter alia) making any judgements or any diagnosis or before providing any (for example) drug dosage advice or any advice or treatments whatsoever to Patients.
You warrant and represent that you are the owner or licensee of any content that you upload (such as videos, blogs etc), record or otherwise transmit through the Service and that you have all lawful permission to use the same and (collectively, “Your Content”).
You warrant and represent that you shall not either intentionally or recklessly publish, post, upload, record or otherwise transmit anything that: (i) infringes any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy; (ii) violates any law or statute, (iii) is defamatory, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing; (iv) is profane, indecent, obscene, harmful to minors or pornographic; (v) contains any viruses or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information or property of another; or (vi) is materially false, misleading or inaccurate.
You agree not to: (1) use the Service in connection with junk mail, pyramid schemes, spamming (to include soliciting other users to become subscribers of other information services) or any duplicative or unsolicited messages, or any use of distribution lists to any person; (2) harvest or otherwise collect information about others; (3) knowingly interfere with or disrupt networks connected to the Service or violate the regulations, policies or procedures of such networks; (4) attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, other accounts, computer systems or networks connected to the Service, through password mining or any other means; or (6) use the Service for any illegal purposes whatsoever.
You agree to fully indemnify Innerstrength Health, its directors, officers shareholders, employees, agents and suppliers against all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including but not limited to legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service or the Site, the Content or Your Content or related to any breach of this Agreement.
5. Service Availability and Limitation of liability
Innerstrength Health shall use all reasonable endeavours to make the Service available to you but shall not be liable in the event of any interruption of the Service. Innerstrength Health reserves the right to modify, withdraw, suspend or restrict the availability of the Service or any part of it.
The Service is provided solely for your use and you are not permitted to resell (meaning sub-licence) or attempt to resell the Service to any third party.

· any other loss or damage (including any direct damage) in an amount exceeding €50.00 (fifty Euro) in the 12 months preceding the date on which such liability arose.
Under no circumstances will Innerstrength Health be liable under this Agreement in respect of any fault which is the responsibility of any third party service provider such as consumer wearables and smartphones etc or in respect of third party applications such as Apple Health or FitBit etc.
Notwithstanding the above provisions of this clause Innerstrength Health’s liability will not be limited in the case of fraud or for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of Innerstrength Health.
Please note in particular that the Services are a technology to support Patient self-management and all Content provided as part of the Services and all data provided to you as a result of Patient interaction is purely for information and support purposes only, and the Services are not a remote monitoring type device or service.
6. Pricing and Refund Policy
All products sold (as applicable) and the Services provided shall be charged in Euros and shall be subject to Irish Value Added Tax as and where applicable and at the then prevailing rate and payment time all as noted on your Service Order.
Nothing contained in the Site amounts to an offer to supply goods or services, and any order from you can be refused at the sole discretion of Innerstrength Health and without providing a reason.
If you dispute any charge or amount on any invoice and such dispute cannot be resolved promptly through good faith discussions between us then you shall pay the amounts due under this Agreement less the disputed amount, and we shall proceed in good faith to promptly resolve such disputed amount. An amount will be considered disputed in good faith if (i) you deliver a written statement to us on or before the due date of the invoice, describing in detail the basis of the dispute and the amount being withheld by you, (ii) such written statement represents that the amount in dispute has been determined after due investigation of the facts and that such disputed amount has been determined in good faith, and (iii) all other amounts due from you that are not in dispute have been paid as and when required under this Agreement
7. Confidentiality
During the term of this Agreement, each party will regard any information provided to it by the other party and designated in writing as proprietary or confidential to be confidential (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall also include information which, to a reasonable person familiar with the disclosing party’s business and the medical industry in which it operates, is of a confidential or proprietary nature. The receiving party shall hold in confidence, and shall not disclose (or permit or suffer its personnel to disclose) any Confidential Information to any person or entity except to a director, officer, employee, outside consultant, or advisor (collectively “Representatives”) who have a need to know such Confidential Information in the course of the performance of their duties for the receiving party and who are bound by a duty of confidentiality no less protective of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information than this Agreement. The receiving party and its Representatives shall use such Confidential Information only for the purpose for which it was disclosed and shall not use or exploit such Confidential Information for its own benefit or the benefit of another without the prior written consent of the disclosing party. Each party accepts responsibility for the actions of its Representatives and shall protect the other party’s Confidential Information in the same manner as it protects its own valuable confidential information, but in no event shall less than reasonable care be used. A receiving party shall promptly notify the disclosing party upon becoming aware of a breach or threatened breach hereunder, and shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the disclosing party in enforcing its rights.
Information will not be deemed Confidential Information if such information: (i) is known prior to receipt from the disclosing party, without any obligation of confidentiality; (ii) becomes known to the receiving party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; (iii) becomes publicly known or otherwise publicly available, except through a breach of this Agreement; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to the requirements of applicable law, legal process or government regulation, provided that it gives the disclosing party reasonable prior written notice to permit the disclosing Party to contest such disclosure, and such disclosure is otherwise limited to the required disclosure.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, both parties acknowledge that any use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement may cause the disclosing party irreparable and immediate damage for which remedies other than injunctive relief may be inadequate. Therefore, both parties agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which the disclosing party may be entitled at law or equity, the disclosing party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) to restrain such use in addition to other appropriate remedies available under applicable law.
