The Provider may provide risk management and stress reduction techniques, well-being support, assessment and educational tools and support to users via the Website and other means, including via telephone and other electronic means (the "Services"). However, some use of the Website may not involve receiving Services. These Terms and Conditions cover all scenarios in which users access or use the Website.

Any person accessing the Website or receiving Services – including you – is referred to as a "User" in these Terms and Conditions.

The person, the Provider, engages as a coach to interact with a User is called a "Pioneera Coach".

AGREEMENTS

If Services are supplied to a particular User, it is pursuant to an agreement between the Provider and a third party (usually the User's employer) ("Third Party Agreement"). Should the terms of the Third Party Agreement change, a User may no longer be able to access the Services.

These Terms and Conditions (also "this agreement") are a separate agreement to the relevant Third Party Agreement and cover all scenarios in which a User accesses the Website – whether to receive Services or not. By continuing to access the Website, each User accepts and is personally bound by these Terms and Conditions. This paragraph is subject to the next section (minors).

Entry into these Terms and Conditions is not offered to persons under 18 years of age unless we have received and accepted written consent from a parent or guardian. Accordingly, if the Provider becomes aware that a person under 18 years of age is accessing the Website (or even receiving Services) without having entered into these Terms and conditions, it reserves the right to deactivate that person's profile and delete any information pertaining to that person.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the User and the Provider in connection with the Website and the Services, superseding any prior agreements between the User and the Provider relating to the User's use of the Website and Services.

AMENDMENT

The Provider may modify these Terms and Conditions. The Provider will use its best endeavours to notify the User via the User's email address when these Terms and Conditions are modified. If the User accesses the Website or receives Services after a notified modification to these Terms and Conditions, the User will be deemed to have accepted the changes.

ACCOUNT INFORMATION

The User may remain anonymous when using some aspects of the Services; however. The User must create a profile to complete formal programs that form part of the Services. The Provider may collect a User's personal information when creating a profile and providing the Services. See the Provider's Australian privacy policy here [link].

ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF THE SERVICES

Suppose in the course of a User's accessing the Web or receiving the Services. In that case, the Provider forms the opinion that a User requires assistance beyond the scope of the Services, the Provider may (but to be clear, is not obliged to) invite the User to contact their General Practitioner, another Medical or Allied Health Professional, their Employer's Employee Assistance Professional or another person within the User's organisation. If the Provider believes that activities are being undertaken that may create a risk to the counterparty under the Third party Agreement relevant to the User (likely to be the User's employer), the Provider may report this to that counterparty. The Provider has no liability whatsoever to the User for or in connection with the Provider's exercising its rights under this paragraph and doing other acts necessary or incidental to that exercise of rights.

CRISIS & EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

Pioneera interventions, tools and support are not a substitute for face-to-face professional assistance, and the interventions are not designed for crisis management. If a User is in distress, they should seek immediate personal help from a medical or mental health professional.

The User acknowledges that the Services are not suitable if:

1. they are experiencing an emotional or similar crisis;
2. their or another person's safety is at risk; or
3. they require urgent medical treatment.

If any one or more of these situations apply or might apply, the User must seek immediate medical advice from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional or contact emergency services.

A User who feels suicidal should immediately phone Lifeline Australia on 13 11 14 or the relevant suicide hotline for the User's country if outside Australia, or contact emergency services.

The Provider has no liability whatsoever to the User for or in connection with the User's mental health or seeking assistance (or failing to seek help) outside of the Website or Services.
