Legal

Terms of Use

Last updated: April 2026

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using OptoGuide™, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the platform. These terms apply to all users, including optometrists, students, and other registered health professionals.

2. What OptoGuide™ is

OptoGuide™ is a deterministic clinical workflow tool designed to support Australian optometrists during consultations. It provides structured decision pathways, drug and therapeutic references, referral generation tools, and client-side prescription PDF preparation tools.

OptoGuide™ is not an AI diagnostic system. It does not generate probabilistic diagnoses. All clinical logic is rule-based and auditable.

3. Clinical use and responsibility

OptoGuide™ is a clinical decision-support tool intended for use by qualified health professionals. It provides structured workflows, reference information, and general guidance based on published clinical standards.

OptoGuide™ does not provide personalised medical advice, does not establish a diagnosis, and does not determine treatment for any individual patient.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • all clinical decisions are made solely by you as the treating practitioner
  • you must independently assess each patient and verify all information before acting
  • you are solely responsible for any prescribing, referral, or management decisions

OptoGuide™ content may not reflect all possible clinical scenarios and may be incomplete, outdated, or subject to change. You must always rely on your professional judgment and current authoritative sources.

3A. Intended users

OptoGuide™ is intended for use by qualified optometrists, optometry students under supervision, and other registered health professionals.

It is not intended for use by patients or the general public. Any use outside of a professional clinical context is at the user's own risk.

4. Acceptable use

You agree to use OptoGuide™ only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms. You must not:

  • Use OptoGuide™ to provide clinical opinions to patients without independent clinical assessment
  • Share your account credentials with others
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, or extract content from the platform
  • Use the platform in any way that could harm patients or bring the profession into disrepute
  • Enter patient-identifiable information anywhere except in the local prescription or referral generators, where it is never transmitted to our servers

5. Account and access

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

6. Subscription and billing

OptoGuide™ offers a free tier and paid subscription plans. Subscription pricing is described on the Pricing page. Payments are processed securely by Stripe. By subscribing, you agree to the applicable plan pricing at the time of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date.

You may cancel your subscription at any time via the billing portal in your profile. Access continues until the end of the current billing period. Pricing is subject to change; registered users will be notified of material changes before they take effect.

7. Intellectual property

All content, clinical pathways, software, and design elements of OptoGuide™ are the intellectual property of OptoGuide™ and its developers unless otherwise stated. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from OptoGuide™ content without written permission.

8. Limitation of liability

OptoGuide™ is provided as a clinical decision-support tool only. It does not replace professional judgment or clinical responsibility.

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • you assume all risk associated with the use of OptoGuide™
  • OptoGuide™ and its developers are not liable for any loss, clinical outcome, patient harm, or professional consequence arising from use of the platform
  • we make no warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of the content

You agree that responsibility for all clinical decisions, including prescribing and referral, remains solely with you.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to registered users by email. Continued use of OptoGuide™ after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.
