Our Service

This Service is provided by NovoPsych Pty Ltd on an “as is” and “as available” basis. You expressly agree that your use of this Service is at your sole risk. NovoPsych Pty Ltd disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

Our Service consists of software that is a delivery tool for psychometric tests. Our service should be considered as a delivery tool and scoring calculator. Our administration or scoring method may not be copied. Existing psychometrics tests which are the intellectual property of third parties are owned by those third parties.

The Service attempts to be as accurate as possible. However, NovoPsych Pty Ltd does not warrant that product descriptions or other content of this site as accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. The psychometric material that we employ is interpreted as accurately as we can, however we encourage our users to independently investigate the psychometric merits of each assessment.

Electronic Communications

If you sign up as a user of NovoPsych, we take this as your consent for us to communicate with you electronically, via email, through the software or via phone. From time to time you may receive emails for research purposes. We may also send you communications about upgrades to the Service or other products and services that may be of interest to you. You can contact us at any time to let us know that you no longer want to receive these correspondents from us.

Service Timeframe

Each purchase of the Service is time limited at the discretion of NovoPsych Pty Ltd. Users of the Service do not have a perpetual licence. NovoPsych reserves the right to revoke the Service.

Acceptable Use/Conduct

NovoPsych Pty Ltd. grants users use of this service in a bona fide mental health care setting. The user of this service should have suitable qualifications. This could include, but is not limited to the following professions: psychology, psychiatry, social work, counselling, occupational therapy, medicine or psychiatric nursing. Individuals who are currently enrolled in postgraduate study in one of these fields; or those who are under supervision of a psychologist, are also suitable users.

The particular Service you purchase may limit the number of users who may use the Service. Typically this is one user per account, unless specified in writing elsewhere. You must not allow any additional users to use the Service. NovoPsych Pty Ltd has the right to audit your use of the Service. This is at its own cost and upon giving you reasonable notice, to determine whether your use is in accordance with these Terms of Service and any other terms that apply to the Service. If an audit reveals that you have exceeded the scope of use permitted, NovoPsych Pty Ltd. may require you to immediately pay an additional service fee for such use.

In some circumstances NovoPsych Pty Ltd may offer free accounts to some users, with time limits or other limitations. These free accounts may be terminated and users may be required to upgrade to a paid subscription for continued use. In circumstances where a user is granted a free account, there will only be one free account per individual and/or organisation. NovoPsych Pty Ltd may conduct audit of user accounts and if it is found that more than one free account exists for a user or there is more than one free account activated within the same organisation (i.e. practice, university, health service), NovoPsych Pty Ltd will deactivate these free accounts and may require users to upgrade to paid subscriptions.

The Service, including any software that forms part of the Service, is made available to you, your company, and/or your staff only for your personal use or business purposes, and as such; use must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including and without limitation to privacy laws, and must not infringe or violate third party rights. This Service precludes downloading or copying information for the benefit of another merchant: or any use of data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction tools. Any unauthorized use terminates the permission to use the service.

Fees

A valid credit card is required for payments. Credit card security is implemented using HTTPS(256-bit encryption) on all transactions. Credit card details are not stored within the application. Your credit card details are stored at a trusted and secure payment gateway (Stripe) used by the Service for payment processing.

When upgrading or downgrading your plan, you will be pro-rata credited for the remainder of your current plan. You will then be charged at the rate of the new plan until your billing date. You will have the changed plan limits applied immediately. If this adjustment causes your account to be credited, this will be applied to your subscription and used for future payments. We do not provide refunds for these amounts.

All fees stated are exclusive of taxes, levies or duties imposed by the tax authorities. If your company is liable to pay GST, you will be responsible for paying GST on top of the subscription fees. 

All fees related to the Service, including but not limited to the monthly or annual subscription plan fees, are subject to change upon 30 days notice from us. Such notice may be provided at any time by updates to the NovoPsych website (www.Novopsych.com.au), notices within the Service itself, or by email correspondence.

If you have any questions about charges made to your account, please contact us immediately. If there are charges made in error, we will credit your account or credit card account for the appropriate amount.

All monthly subscription fees must be paid monthly in advance, and annual subscription must be paid annually in advance.

Cancellation and Termination 

The users are solely responsible for the cancellation of their account. Cancellation of the  account can be made at any time through the settings/subscription area of the application.

 We recommend you use the export functionality of the Service prior to cancellation to retain any information you may require. All of your data may be deleted 90 days after termination of your account.

Cancelling your subscription may cause the loss of access, content or features of the Service. NovoPsych Pty Ltd. does not accept any liability for such loss.

Failure to pay subscription fees will result in the account being suspended. Accounts are suspended for a maximum of 90 days before the account may be terminated by Novopsych Pty Ltd. We are not responsible for any loss you suffer as a result of such suspension or termination. A suspended account can be reactivated by supplying valid payment credentials and resuming the subscription.

For users on a monthly subscription, if cancellation is made on the account before the end of the currently paid month, the Service will end immediately and you will not be charged again. The account user will not be entitled to a refund.

For plans that are invoiced on an annual basis, if a request for a refund is made, NovoPsych Pty Ltd. will refund 11 months of the annual subscription fee, or 90% of your remaining term, whichever is less. These funds will be returned to the user via the existing payment method selected on the Service portal. If a user chooses to reactivate their subscription within a year of cancellation Novopsych Pty Ltd. will offer a discount, using the account credits available from your cancelled subscription (up to 10% discount if the user requested a refund, or up to 100% discount if a previous refund request was not completed).

NovoPsych Pty Ltd. in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service, for any reason, at any such time. Such termination can result in the deactivation or deletion of your account. NovoPsych Pty Ltd. reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
