Legal Documentation

1. Acceptance of Terms

By registering for and using ScriptPal NZ, you confirm that you are 16 years of age or older (or using the App under parental/guardian supervision), that you have read and agree to these Terms, the Medical Disclaimer, and the Privacy Policy, that you understand ScriptPal NZ is not a medical device or prescribing tool, and that you accept full responsibility for how you use the information within the App.

2. User Account

You must create an account using a valid email address and password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials, all activity under your account, and notifying us of any unauthorised access.

You may add and manage medications on behalf of family members or others you care for. By adding a person, you confirm you have their consent or the authority to manage their health information. You can set an optional privacy PIN on any profile you manage, and only the account's main holder can delete the account.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use ScriptPal NZ only for personal medication management. You must not:

• Use the App for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose
• Enter false or misleading information into the App
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any other user's data
• Damage, disable, or impair the App's functionality
• Reverse engineer, copy, or reproduce any part of the App without permission
• Use the App as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment

4. Accuracy of Information

You are solely responsible for ensuring all information you enter is accurate and up to date. ScriptPal NZ does not verify user-entered data. Always review your summary with a qualified healthcare professional before using it for clinical purposes.

5. Third-Party Services

ScriptPal NZ is built with Next.js and hosted on Vercel (vercel.com); data storage and authentication are provided by Supabase (supabase.com). The optional pharmacy-label scanner sends the label photo you choose to read to Amazon Web Services (aws.amazon.com) for text extraction. Your use of ScriptPal NZ is also subject to the terms of service and privacy policies of these providers.

6. Educational Content

The educational medication content within ScriptPal NZ is rendered in-app for ease of access, providing plain language information under nine categories. Some of the medicines are directly linked out to MyMedicines which provides information for patients about medicines used in New Zealand. This was developed by a team at Te Whatu Ora, Waitaha. Their team are made up of doctors, pharmacists, and a non-medical person.

Some of ScriptPal's plain-language content is drafted with the help of AI and then reviewed before it is shown; no information about you is used for this. The pharmacy-label scanner is a convenience tool that reads the text off a photo of your label and pre-fills the form. It is not a clinical check and it can misread: you are responsible for confirming that every field it fills in is correct before you save, and for the accuracy of everything you save.

7. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
