6. Registration and General Usage Considerations for the Site

  • 6.1The Practitioner, or duly authorised representative, registers on the Site to create an Account for their Practice. Registration involves the creation of Login Credentials as the Master User of the Account. This ensures the security of the Account, as at this stage, only Master User has access to the Account through their Login Credentials. It is essential that the Master User keeps their Login Credentials confidential.
  • 6.2To verify the legitimacy of the Practitioner as a Health Care Professional, the registration for the creation an Account requires the following information about the Practitioner, including but not limited to: (i) their Basic Personal Information; (ii) details relating to the Practice, and (iii) confirmation of their registration at the HPCSA.
  • 6.3The Practitioner Consents thereto and agrees that Imatri may use their Personal Information and the information provided to us in terms of clause 6.2 to conduct a check with the HPCSA to confirm the Practitioner's registration with the HPCSA.
  • 6.4Each Member of the Practice is added as a (secondary) User by the Master User. Each such User must choose unique Login Credentials, approved by the Master User, which must be kept confidential by each such User. Each such User is created along with a corresponding set of Permissions.
  • 6.5The Practice undertakes to make every effort to ensure that they safeguard their Login Credentials. The Practitioner and/or Master User is responsible for reminding other Users not to share or disclose their Login Credentials, and make every User fully aware of the potential damages resulting from any other Person gaining access to the Account through their Login Credentials.
  • 6.6Each Practice is only allowed a single Account. We reserve the right to remove all access if this policy is violated.
  • 6.7Interaction with the Site occurs after a User has logged onto the Site thereby creating a Session locked to the Account. Inactivity causes the Session to expire and the User is automatically logged out. Further interaction with the Site necessitates the User having to log on again. Concurrent Sessions are allowed for the Account. Each Session corresponds to a single User; however, a given User may not have multiple concurrent Sessions.
  • 6.8Imatri reserves the right to refuse access of a Practice to their Account if we are unable to verify any information, we deem reasonably necessary to confirm the legitimacy of the Practice
  • 6.9Once registered, and subject thereto that the Master User has clicked "I agree" to these Terms, which include the Privacy Policy, the Practice will be able to access the Site.
  • 6.10For security purposes, the Practice needs to correctly apply their Account Login Credentials or take any other steps, that we deem reasonably necessary, for us to verify the Practice's identity each time they log onto the Site.
  • 6.11All electronic communications that are sent to us, after having met our verification requirements, as set out herein above during log on, shall be treated as valid and authentic. This means that these electronic communications shall have the same legal standing as written and signed paper communications from the Practice. In order to protect the Practice and their Account, we can refuse to act on any instructions sent to us, or can cancel access (temporarily or permanently), if any Practice, attempting to gain access to their Account, fails to meet the verification requirements (inclusive of the case in which the Practice inputs incorrect Account Login Credentials).
  • 6.12We may require an additional layer of security (verification) for certain (trans)actions. In such cases an OTP is sent to the User's Device(s) before the given (trans)action can be concluded.
  • 6.13Account Login Credentials are valid for logging onto the Account which is independent of the Device used: given Login Credentials are not linked to a specific Device i.e. any Device whether or not in the control of the Practice is capable of gaining access to the Account with the correct Login Credentials. Consequently, if these are compromised on any one Device, places the whole Account at risk.
  • 6.14The Practice must notify us immediately if there is any reason to believe that their Account has been compromised. Prompt notification ensures the mitigation, or at least minimisation, of any potential damages resulting therefrom.
  • 6.15Any (trans)action performed under given Account Login Credentials are assumed to be a (trans)action authorised by the Practice. Imatri cannot be held responsible, for acceptance of any such (trans)actions that took place without the Consent of the Practice.
  • 6.16The Practice must therefore never reveal Account Login Credentials to anyone under any circumstances.
  • 6.17To the extent permitted by law, the Practice shall be responsible for any Loss or damage the Practice themselves, Patient(s), Imatri or any other party may suffer should any other Person access the Site using the Account Login Credentials.

7. Account Security and Responsibility

  • 7.1The Practice acknowledges and agrees that the secure management of Login Credentials and the judicious assignment of User Permissions are of paramount importance.
  • 7.2The Practice is solely responsible for all actions, including Processing, taken under its Account, regardless of whether such actions are taken by the Master User, (secondary) User, or any Person accessing the Account through provided Login Credentials.
  • 7.3The Practice agrees to indemnify and hold Imatri harmless from any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising from or related to:
  • 7.3.1any unauthorized access to the Account
  • 7.3.2any actions, including Processing, taken by any Person, who gains access to the Account, whether authorized or unauthorized
  • 7.4The Practice understands that any individual using Login Credentials associated with the Account will be deemed to be acting on behalf of the Practice with the Permissions associated with those Login Credentials. Therefore, any and all actions, including Processing, performed by that individual are the sole responsibility of the Practice.

8. Commencement, Termination and Other Services

  • 8.1The non-exclusive use of the Site, by the Practice through their Account, commences on the date on which the Account was created, having been registered on the Site by the Practice. The Account endures indefinitely until terminated through any of the following events:
  • 8.1.1Termination of the Site by imatri;
  • 8.1.2Termination of the Services by imatri;
  • 8.1.3Termination of the Practice's use of the Site by imatri for whatever reason;
  • 8.1.4De-activation of the Account by the Practice.
  • 8.2Furthermore, when registering, the Practice agrees to be subscribed to "the Email Authentication Services", thereby authorising imatri to use "the Email Authentication Services" as a mode of:
  • 8.2.1Account authentication requiring an OTP
  • 8.2.2Account activity notification to the Master User e.g. when a (secondary) User has logged on, or when a new User is added to the Account.

9. Full Disclosure of All Relevant Facts and Benefit Entitlement

  • 9.1It is in the best interest of the Practice that they ensure they maintain, and keep current, the Personal Information of all their Users.
  • 9.2To ensure the legitimacy of the Practitioner, as a Health Professional, the Practice hereby guarantees that all Practitioner Personal Information, necessary to confirm such, provided at any time to imatri, is accurate and up to date. Furthermore, the Practice guarantees that they have fully disclosed all facts, with the understanding that this Agreement, or any transactions related to this Agreement, will be void if the Practice does not comply with this requirement.

13. Electronic Communication and Records

  • 13.1By using the Site and giving their Consent, the Practice accepts that imatri can communicate with the Practice electronically. All records that the Practice sends to us may be stored electronically and with an authorised person, although any authorised such Person is bound by the strictest levels of confidentiality. These electronic records constitute proof of the records, unless the Practice can prove otherwise.
  • 13.2Any electronic communication (for example, an e-mail or SMS) sent to the Practice will be regarded as having been received by the Practice upon being sent by imatri. This includes, but is not limited to mobile push notifications.
  • 13.3The Practice will receive communications from us via e-mail. The Practice may change the way they receive communication on the Site by changing their Account settings on the Site.
  • 13.4imatri takes all reasonable steps to protect the Practice Data and to maintain confidentiality, including the use of encryption technology. However, imatri cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any information the Practice transmits to us online, and the Practice agrees that they do so at their own risk.
  • 13.5The Practice agrees that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that imatri provide to them electronically meet any legal requirement that the communications be in writing.

14. Retention, Destruction and/or Deletion of Practice Data

  • 14.1At any time during the term of this Agreement, at the Practice's written request, or upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, imatri shall promptly return to the Practice all copies, whether in written, electronic or other form or media, of Practice Data in their possession, or securely dispose of all such copies, and certify in writing to the Practice that such Practice Data has been returned to the Practice or securely destroyed. imatri shall comply with all reasonable directions provided by the Practice with respect to the return or disposal of their Practice data.
  • 14.2Upon termination, for whatever reason, an automated prompt will display on the Site requiring the Practice to elect to either have their Practice Data returned to the Practice in accordance with clause 13.1, or alternatively authorise Imatri to securely dispose of their Practice Data. If the Practice does not make such an election, the Practice Data shall be retained by imatri for a further period of 30 (thirty) days, where after the Practice Data shall be completely destroyed, unless otherwise notified, by the Practice (in writing) prior to the expiration of 30 (thirty) days from the date of termination, or unless the Practice Data is retained in accordance with clause 13.3 below.

  • 14.3.1if the retention thereof is required by law;
  • 14.3.2in exceptional circumstances, should imatri reasonably require the Practice Data for lawful purposes related to their functions, activities and/or Services.

15. References and Links to and from Other Sites, Phishing and Spoofing

  • 15.1The Practice shall not make (and may not permit any third party to make) any reference to imatri or the Site, whether by way of a link or otherwise, where the reference could, in any way, be interpreted as an endorsement, affiliation or recommendation by imatri in relation to the Practice or a third party or of the services, products or opinions of a third party, without imatri's prior written consent.
  • 15.2Any unsolicited e-mail received by the Practice, purporting to be from imatri, requesting the disclosure of Practice Data (such as user name, password or credit card details), or requesting that the Practice click on a link to confirm their imatri information, must be assumed to have originated from a "phisher" or "spoofer".
  • 15.3imatri will never ask for this type of information in an e-mail, and implore the Practice to reject such an email: neither to respond to these e-mails, nor to click on the link. Responding to "phishing" places the Practice, their Account, and Practice Data, at risk. imatri cannot be responsible for any consequences resulting from the Practice's response to any email sent by a "phisher" or a "spoofer".
