Family Portal Terms and Conditions

Published on: 12/01/2022 • Last EDITED on: 12/01/2022

1. Introduction

1.1

These Terms and Conditions (together with our Family Portal Privacy Policy and any other documents referred to in it) describe how Log my Care, operated by LMC Software Limited, registered under company number 10904934 (“LMC Software Ltd.”, “we”, “us”), will process any personal data we collect from you, or which you provide to us, in the course of using the Family Portal accessible via the Log my Care App (the “Family Portal”) services to which you are granted access (the “Services”).

1.2

It also outlines rules that only relate to friends and family members who sign up to the Family Portal in order to receive care and activities updates of a patient in a participating care service. Please note, you must be invited to join the Family Portal by your relative's or friend's care provider.

1.3

Please note that we have separate policies that govern the use of our products and website:  

  • Our Website Privacy Policy (this talks about how we use the information that you give us or that we hold about you).
  • Our Cookie Policy (this talks about what cookies we use on the Family Portal).

It's very unlikely, but if something in the Website Privacy Policy or Cookie Policy doesn't make sense because of these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions will apply regardless.

1.4

By using our Family Portal, you confirm that you accept these terms of use and that you agree to comply with them. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use our Family Portal.

1.5

If you break any of the rules listed here and we suffer any loss or someone tries to sue us, you will pay us in full for all loss we suffer and our legal fees and costs.

2. How we provide the Family Portal

2.1

The Family Portal is provided with the aim of keeping the family and friends of care service patients updated in relation to their care and activities. Care services and health care professionals remain at all times responsible for the care of care service patients. We do not guarantee that the Family Portal will be error-free and are not responsible for the information provided on the Family Portal, including the accuracy of this. Please do not rely on the Family Portal to make determinations about a care service patient's state, health and care.

2.2

We cannot guarantee that the Family Portal will always be available or quick, due to its dependence on the internet, WiFi and other technical things to work. We also cannot promise that there won't be bugs or errors with the Family Portal. We will try our best to make sure that you have access to the Family Portal at all times and that the Family Portal is up to date, but cannot guarantee that this will always be the case.

2.3

If the Family Portal isn't available, or we need to stop providing it, we will try our best to let you know. We can change or end the Family Portal at any time, for any reason and without letting you know beforehand. If we stop providing the Family Portal and you have paid your subscription fee, we will give you a refund to reflect the time that you cannot use the Family Portal.

2.4

You need to make sure that your device is able to access the Family Portal (this might mean needing to download the latest software). You should download any update that we give you and follow our instructions about installing and using the Family Portal. If you have any trouble accessing the Family Portal, just let us know at support@logmycare.co.uk.

3. Payment and fees

3.1

When you sign up to the Family Portal, we will take your payment details and, by signing up, you authorise us to charge you with the monthly subscription fee after the initial free period.

3.2

You will receive a free trial of the Family Portal. How long your free trial lasts depends on when you sign up to the Family Portal:

  • If you signed up before the 1 September 2020, you can use the Family Portal for free until 30 September 2020.
  • If you signed up on or after the 1 September 2020, you get one month of the Family Portal for free.

After this initial free period, we may charge you a monthly subscription fee of £9.99 to continue receiving the Family Portal, unless your participating care service decides to pay the monthly subscription fee on your behalf.

3.3

If we charge you the monthly subscription to receive the Family Portal, you will be billed using the payment details that you provided during the sign-up process. We will take payment on a monthly basis and the first payment will be for the month following the end of the free trial. If we intend to charge you this subscription fee, we'll let you know at least one month in advance and you will be given the opportunity to cancel your account on the Family Portal. This will mean that you will not be charged the monthly subscription fee but you will no longer have access to the Family Portal.

3.4

Unless you cancel your subscription to the Family Portal before your next payment date, you will be charged the monthly subscription fee for the next month.

3.5

If you are unable to pay the monthly subscription fee and you do not cancel your account, we may suspend your access to the Family Portal until we have successfully charged you the monthly subscription fee. We will try to give you advance warning if this is the case. You remain at all times responsible for any unpaid amounts owed to us.

3.6

We reserve the right to increase the monthly subscription fee and will provide you with at least one month's notice in advance. If you do not agree to the fee change, you will be given the opportunity to cancel your account on the Family Portal. If you do not cancel your account, we will understand that you are happy to continue using the Family Portal and to pay the increased subscription fee. We will then amend your monthly payment accordingly.

3.7

If you would like to update your payment details, please sign into the Family Portal and view your payment method from your profile page. Following any update, you authorise us to continue to charge the monthly subscription (if applicable).

3.8

You will not be charged the subscription fee by us if your participating care service chooses to pay the monthly subscription fee on your behalf.

3.9

You have to pay for any data you use when using the Family Portal.
