MedStory: Terms of Service
Last Updated: 07 August 2025
Effective Date: 07 August 20251. Introduction
Welcome to MedStory. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of MedStory’s website, online forms, and guided consultation services.
By using our services, you agree to abide by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use MedStory. We recommend that you read these Terms carefully and contact us if you have any questions.
MedStory Pty Ltd (“MedStory”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is the provider of the service. Your use of MedStory is also governed by our Privacy Policy and Usage Policy, which form part of these Terms.2. Nature of the Service
MedStory is a non-clinical, informational service that helps you compile a summary of your personal health history.
Our platform (including the DIY online quiz and the guided phone consult) is intended to facilitate more transparent communication with healthcare providers by generating a health summary based on information you provide.
MedStory is not a medical or healthcare provider – we do not give medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment. The summaries are for informational support only and are not a substitute for clinical records or professional medical judgment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for any medical advice or if you have questions about your health.
Do not rely on MedStory in emergencies: our service is not suitable for emergency medical situations or urgent conditions. If you experience an emergency, call 000 (triple zero) or seek immediate medical attention.3. Eligibility and User Accounts
To use MedStory, you must be at least 18 years old. By accessing our service, you represent that you are 18 or older.
MedStory is designed for Australian residents; you should be located in Australia to use the service.
If you are using MedStory on behalf of someone else (for example, an older parent or relative), you must have their permission or legal authority. By providing another person’s information, you warrant that you are authorised to do so.
Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for all activities that occur under their account.4. Service Process and Scope
DIY Health Summary Quiz: Our online questionnaire allows you to input health information, which we then compile into a personalised health summary PDF. You are responsible for entering accurate information. The summary is generated based on your answers and is meant for your personal use in communicating with healthcare providers.
Guided Consult: Our guided 30-minute phone consultation allows a MedStory staff member to assist you in completing the health summary. These staff members are trained in health data collection (some may have healthcare backgrounds such as nursing students or paramedics), but they are not doctors and will not provide medical advice. They will simply help clarify your information and record it. After the call, you will receive a summary of the information you provided.
No Ongoing Monitoring: MedStory does not update or maintain your health summary over time. It is a one-time snapshot based on what you share. We do not provide continuous health management or any diagnostic services.5. Payments and Refunds
Using the DIY Health Summary Quiz may be free or low-cost (as indicated on our website).
The Guided Consult service is a paid service, with fees clearly listed on our site at the time of booking. Payments are processed securely through Stripe. By booking a consult, you agree to pay the applicable fees. All prices are in Australian dollars (AUD) and include any applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.
Refund Policy: If we fail to deliver the promised service (for example, if a technical issue on our end prevented you from obtaining your summary, or if a scheduled consult did not occur), you may be eligible for a refund. To request a refund, please contact MedStory at [email protected] within 7 days of your purchase or appointment date and explain the issue. Refunds will be given at our discretion after review.
We do not typically offer refunds for change of mind or if the summary is not used by you, except as required under Australian consumer law. If you believe our service was not provided with due care or quality, please let us know – your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law may entitle you to a remedy.6. User Responsibilities
Accuracy of Information: You will provide accurate, current, and complete information to the best of your knowledge when using the quiz or speaking with our consultants. The usefulness of your health summary depends on the information you provide. MedStory is not liable for errors or omissions in the summary if they result from inaccurate or incomplete information you gave us.
Personal Use Only: MedStory is for your personal (or family caregiving) use. You agree not to use the output summary for unlawful purposes. The summary is not a certified medical record; it is a personal reference document. Do not falsify or misrepresent the summary as something officially endorsed by a medical professional.
No Impersonation: If you are inputting information on behalf of someone else, you will do so truthfully and with proper authorisation. Do not use our platform to impersonate any person or to submit information about someone without their consent.
Lawful Use: You agree not to use MedStory for any fraudulent, illegal, or defamatory activity. You must not attempt to hack, disrupt, or compromise the security or functionality of our website or services.7. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct
When using MedStory, you must adhere to our usage guidelines (see our Usage Policy for full details).
In summary, you must not:* Violate any applicable laws or regulations while using our service.
* Upload or share any content that is offensive, abusive, pornographic, libellous, or discriminatory.
* Use the platform in a manner that could harm, disable, or overburden our infrastructure.
* Reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract the source code or underlying algorithms.
* Misuse the health summary in a way that could be misleading.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access if you engage in prohibited conduct or violate these Terms.8. Intellectual Property
All content on the MedStory website – including text, graphics, logos, software, and design – as well as the tools and templates used to generate your health summary, are intellectual property of MedStory Pty Ltd or its licensors.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use our platform and to download or print your personal health summary for your own use.
You may not copy, reproduce, sell, publish, or distribute any of MedStory’s proprietary content or materials for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.9. Third-Party Services
MedStory uses certain third-party services (such as JotForm, Stripe, and HubSpot).
Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. MedStory is not responsible for the acts or omissions of these third parties.10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Australian law:* We do not guarantee any particular result from using the health summary.
* We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses.
* Direct liability is capped at the amount you paid for the service in question, or AUD $100 if no payment was made.
Nothing in these Terms excludes rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.11. Termination and Suspension
We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, the Usage Policy, or any applicable law.
You can stop using MedStory at any time. Sections relating to intellectual property, liability, and disclaimers survive termination.12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on our website and dated accordingly. Continued use of MedStory after updates indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
