Terms of Service

These Terms govern your access to and use of the Olyva AI Voice Receptionist platform and related services. They form a binding agreement between Olyva and the healthcare organisation that subscribes to the Service.

By signing an Order Form, accepting these Terms electronically, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind that organisation.

Definitions

Authorised Users
The Customer's staff or contractors permitted to access the administrative dashboard.
Customer Data
Data the Customer or its patients provide to, or that is generated through, the Service, including caller details, appointment information, and call transcripts.
Order Form
The subscription order, quote, or sign-up record that sets out the plan, fees, and any specific terms agreed between the parties.
PMS
The Customer's practice management system (for example, Best Practice) that the Service integrates with.
Service
The Olyva AI voice receptionist platform, administrative dashboards, integrations, and associated services.

To the extent of any conflict, a signed Order Form prevails over these Terms for the specific matter it addresses.

02

The Service

Olyva provides an AI-powered voice receptionist that handles routine administrative call tasks on the Customer's behalf — such as answering calls, booking, rescheduling, cancelling and confirming appointments, answering general clinic enquiries, and routing or escalating calls.

The Service is an administrative tool only. It does not provide clinical services, medical advice, diagnosis, triage, or treatment recommendations. The Customer remains solely responsible for all clinical care and clinical decisions.

03

Artificial Intelligence — Limitations and Safe Use

The Service uses artificial intelligence and third-party voice technology. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that:

  • AI systems can make mistakes. The Service may mishear, misinterpret, misclassify, or incorrectly action a request, and outputs are not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or error-free.
  • The Customer must maintain human oversight and escalation paths, and is responsible for reviewing and confirming bookings and other actions where accuracy matters.
  • The Service is not designed for, and must not be relied on for, medical emergencies, urgent clinical triage, or time-critical health situations. The Customer is responsible for configuring its call flows so that callers with an emergency are directed to call 000 (or attend the nearest emergency department), and for maintaining a means for callers to reach a human.
  • Olyva is not responsible for clinical outcomes or for decisions the Customer makes in reliance on the Service.
04

Customer Accounts and Authorised Users

The Customer is responsible for its account, for the acts and omissions of its Authorised Users, and for keeping login credentials secure. The Customer must notify Olyva promptly of any suspected unauthorised access.

05

Customer Responsibilities

The Customer must:

  • use the Service only for lawful, administrative purposes consistent with these Terms;
  • retain responsibility for all clinical care, supervision, and human escalation;
  • provide accurate clinic configuration (opening hours, appointment types, rules) and keep it current;
  • ensure its staff are appropriately informed about the Service; and
  • comply with all laws applicable to the Customer as a healthcare provider, including privacy and health-records laws.
06

Patient Data, Privacy and Authority

The Customer is the custodian of its patients' information. Olyva handles patient personal and health information on the Customer's behalf, as a service provider, to deliver the Service. Olyva's handling of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

The Customer warrants that it has all necessary rights, authority, and consents (or another lawful basis) to:

  • collect and provide the patient information used in the Service;
  • connect its PMS to the Service and allow Olyva to access the relevant data; and
  • have an AI system handle patient calls on its behalf, including any patient notifications or disclosures required for that purpose.

Each party will comply with its obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles, and applicable State and Territory health-records laws. Olyva will take reasonable steps to keep patient information stored and processed within Australia as described in the Privacy Policy; where any cross-border processing occurs, it is handled in accordance with that policy.

Each party is responsible for meeting its own obligations under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from making a disclosure or notification required by law.

07

PMS Integration and Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with the Customer's PMS and relies on third-party providers (including telephony, voice, and cloud-infrastructure providers). The Customer:

  • must maintain its own valid PMS licence and any credentials required for the integration, and authorises Olyva to connect to its PMS for the purpose of providing the Service; and
  • acknowledges that the Service depends on third-party services Olyva does not control, and that interruptions or changes to those services may affect the Service.

Olyva is not responsible for the Customer's PMS, the Customer's telephony arrangements, or other third-party products the Customer procures directly.

08

Fees, Usage, Billing and GST

Fees

The Customer pays the subscription and usage fees set out in the Order Form. Usage (for example, call minutes) is measured by Olyva's systems, which are the reference record for billing.

Overage

Usage beyond an included allowance is charged at the overage rate in the Order Form, or the Service may block further usage when an allowance is exhausted, depending on the plan configuration.

Billing cycles and payment

Fees are billed per the cycle stated in the Order Form. Invoices are payable within 14 days. Amounts not paid when due may accrue interest and/or result in suspension under section 13.

GST

Unless stated otherwise, fees are exclusive of GST. Where GST applies to a supply under these Terms, the Customer must pay the GST amount in addition to the fee, on receipt of a valid tax invoice.

Changes to fees

Olyva may change fees on at least 30 days written notice, effective from the next billing cycle. If a change materially increases the Customer's fees, the Customer may terminate the affected subscription before the change takes effect.

09

Acceptable Use

The Customer must not, and must ensure its Authorised Users do not:

  • use the Service other than as a routine administrative call tool;
  • input or transmit data the Customer is not authorised to share;
  • use the Service for emergency or time-critical clinical situations without appropriate human escalation;
  • attempt to reverse engineer, copy, resell, or interfere with the Service or its security; or
  • use the Service in breach of any law or in a way that could damage or overload it.
10

Service Availability, Support and Changes

Olyva will use reasonable efforts to keep the Service available and to provide support. The Customer acknowledges the Service is not guaranteed to be available without interruption or error, and that planned maintenance, third-party outages, and factors beyond Olyva's control may affect availability.

Olyva may modify, improve, or change features of the Service from time to time, provided it does not materially reduce core functionality during a paid term.

11

Intellectual Property

Olyva (and its licensors) own all intellectual property rights in the Service. Subject to these Terms and payment of fees, Olyva grants the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Service during the term.

As between the parties, the Customer owns its Customer Data. The Customer grants Olyva the rights needed to host, process, and use Customer Data to provide and support the Service, and to create de-identified data for service improvement and analytics.

If the Customer provides feedback or suggestions, Olyva may use them without restriction.

12

Confidentiality

Each party may receive confidential information of the other. The receiving party must keep it confidential, use it only for the purposes of these Terms, and protect it with reasonable care. This does not apply to information that is public (other than through breach), independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.

13

Suspension

Olyva may suspend the Service, in whole or part, if the Customer fails to pay overdue fees after notice, breaches section 9 (Acceptable use), or where suspension is necessary to protect the security or integrity of the Service or other customers. Olyva will restore the Service promptly once the cause is resolved.

14

Warranties and Disclaimers

Olyva warrants that it will provide the Service with reasonable care and skill.

Except for the express warranties and any rights that cannot be excluded by law, the Service is provided "as is", and Olyva does not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI outputs will be accurate or fit for a particular purpose. The Customer is responsible for determining whether the Service is suitable for its needs.

15

Australian Consumer Law

Certain rights and guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits those rights.

To the extent the ACL applies and permits Olyva to limit its liability for breach of a non-excludable guarantee, Olyva's liability is limited, at Olyva's option, to re-supplying the affected services or paying the cost of having them re-supplied.

16

Limitation of Liability

Subject to section 15:

  • Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits or revenue, loss of goodwill, or loss or corruption of data (to the extent permitted by law).
  • Olyva's total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms and the Service is limited to the total fees paid by the Customer to Olyva in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the liability.

These limitations do not apply to a party's liability for breach of confidentiality, infringement of the other party's intellectual property, the Customer's payment obligations, or liability that cannot be limited by law.

Given the nature of the Service, the Customer accepts responsibility for maintaining the clinical oversight, human escalation, and emergency arrangements described in sections 3 and 5.

17

Indemnity

The Customer indemnifies Olyva against loss arising from the Customer's breach of section 6 (including any claim that the Customer lacked authority or consent to provide patient data or to deploy an AI receptionist), the Customer's breach of section 9, or the Customer's unlawful or clinical use of the Service, except to the extent caused by Olyva's own breach or negligence.

18

Term and Termination

These Terms apply for the subscription term in the Order Form and renew as stated there.

Either party may terminate:

  • for a material breach the other party does not remedy within 14 days of written notice; or
  • immediately, if the other party becomes insolvent or ceases to carry on business.

On termination or expiry: the Customer's right to use the Service ends; the Customer must pay any fees accrued up to termination; and Olyva will, on request and within a reasonable period, return or delete Customer Data in accordance with its retention practices and applicable law. Clauses that by their nature should survive (including 6, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17 and 19) survive termination.

19

General

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and the parties submit to the courts of that jurisdiction.

Force majeure

Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control.

Assignment

The Customer may not assign these Terms without Olyva's consent. Olyva may assign to an affiliate or in connection with a sale or reorganisation of its business.

Variation

Olyva may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes take effect on reasonable notice; continued use after that constitutes acceptance.

Notices

Notices may be given to the email addresses on record. Olyva's contact is legal@olyva.com.au.

Entire agreement

These Terms and any Order Form are the entire agreement between the parties and supersede prior discussions on their subject matter.

Severability and waiver

If any provision is unenforceable, the rest continue in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

Relationship

The parties are independent contractors; nothing creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship.
