Dispute Resolution

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution

We are always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently. Attempts to informally resolve any dispute must be exhausted before any formal legal proceedings or arbitrations may be commenced. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at clinic@hellothc.au. If such efforts prove unsuccessful in the reasonable opinion of Thrive Holistic Centre, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (Notice). The Notice to us should be sent to the address identified in the contact details below.

Arbitration

Except for disputes brought in small claims court or tribunal, all disputes between you and Thrive Holistic Centre arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the Site or Services shall be exclusively settled through binding arbitration pursuant to the then-current rules of Victoria for commercial arbitration. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court, and review by a court is limited. This arbitration agreement is subject to Victorian Law. The arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Thrive Holistic Centre makes any future change to this dispute resolution provision, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to Thrive Holistic Centre. If the arbitration in this Section is found unenforceable or to not apply for a given dispute, then the proceeding must be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction in Victoria, Australia. You hereby accept the exclusive jurisdiction of such a court for this purpose.

Confidentiality

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

Future Changes to Dispute Resolution

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Use to the contrary, Thrive Holistic Centre agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to our contact details) while you are a User of the Service, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to our address provided in the Contact Details section below. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

3. Booking policies

Consultation cancellations

Your appointment is important to us and is reserved especially for you. We understand that life can sometimes get in the way and changes and cancellations may be necessary. Should you need to make changes to your appointment, we kindly ask that you provide a minimum of 24-48 hours’ notice. This policy is in place to allow your practitioner to offer your allocated time to another patient.

You will be charged a cancellation fee equal to the cost of the consultation for any missed or cancelled appointments where you have provided less than 24 hours’ notice.

Consultation refunds

Thrive Holistic Centre charges a consultation fee on behalf of our Thrive Holistic Centre Practitioners. This consultation fee is charged at the time of booking and is non-refundable.

4. Prescription shipping & returns

Prescription Delivery & Returns

Dispatch, delivery, and refunds of prescription products are per our partner pharmacies’ terms and conditions (as well as any other relevant policies.)

By accessing these services through Thrive Holistic Centre, you agree to our partner pharmacies terms and conditions and any other relevant policies. These can be viewed below (Partner Pharmacy Terms of Sale).

5. Partner Pharmacy Terms of Sale

We work with our independent partner pharmacies to fulfil your prescription. All goods purchased from our Partner Pharmacies are subject to the following terms and conditions.

Acceptance of Goods

To ensure your privacy and the safe delivery of your products, all of our pharmacy deliveries require a signature upon acceptance. Please ensure you have allocated a delivery address where someone will be available to sign for your delivery between the hours of 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday.

Prescription products cannot be given an authority to leave direction. If no one is present to sign for your products, your package will be taken to the nearest post office for collection and a card with collection instructions will be left at your address.

Title & Risk

The sale occurs upon your order leaving the dispensing pharmacy and the title to the goods pass to you at that time. You are the legal owner of the products, are responsible for those products and the products are at your risk upon delivery.

Returns & Refunds Policy

Our website’s returns policy is in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

This policy applies for online orders via our partner pharmacies only.

Unfortunately, refunds may not be provided on prescription items, pharmacy medicines or pharmacist only medicines. This is due to state health regulations as the products are unable to be returned to stock or re-sold after leaving the premises. Storage conditions and therefore, effectiveness of the medication, are unable to be guaranteed once this has occurred.

Please contact Thrive Holistic Centre if the item is:

• Faulty or is not as described
• Significantly different to what was advertised
• The product is unsafe
• Not of acceptable quality

Thrive Holistic Centre and the Partner Pharmacy reserves the right to return the product to the manufacturer for further evaluation. The outcome of this evaluation will be provided and no refund or replacement will be provided if the item was damaged due to misuse or neglect.

No returns, refunds or exchanges will be offered for changes of mind.

Damaged or Incorrect Products

Please contact Thrive Holistic Centre within 3 days of receipt of the products:

• If your products arrived damaged
• If the incorrect item was delivered

You may be required to provide us with an image of the damaged or incorrect product in order to process a refund or replacement. The cost of freight will be covered for these returned products.
