Who we are

Nye Health Ltd is a limited company incorporated in England. Our company number is 11211158, and our registered office is Unit 3, Woodgrove Farm, Fulbrook Hill, Fulbrook, Oxfordshire, OX18 4BH . When we refer to “Nye” or “we”, “us” or “our” in these terms, we are referring to Nye Health Ltd.

Important information about us

We are a health tech company facilitating accessible health services for all. We’ve designed our app with that goal in mind.

Please be aware of the following:

  • The Nye App does not provide health or medical advice. 

  • Your NHS practitioner is also responsible for the content of your medical record. Nye accepts no responsibility for omissions or inaccuracies in your record. Our service simply displays what is made available to view on-line, by your GP practice. If you are concerned about anything you see in your medical record, you should contact your GP practice to discuss that.

In addition, when viewing your GP practice-based medical record:

  • You may see something in your record that you had forgotten, and this may cause you distress

  • You may see a test result or other information before you have spoken to the doctor, and this may make you feel anxious or upset

  • You may find mistakes in your record: in this case, you should contact your practice to inform them

  • If you think you could be pressured by someone to show them details of your medical history against your will, it might not be in your best interests to sign up for this service

 

Our service

Our service allows you to:​

  • View your medical records securely, to the extent that is made available by your practice

Other Services

We may make changes to the Services available to you in the form of new functionality or improvements to existing functionality. We may also remove Services at our discretion. Some of these changes may be mandatory - if you do not install the updates it is possible the Services will still cease to be available to you.

About these terms

This document sets out the terms of use for use of our app and our service.

By registering to use our app, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with us based on these terms and with acceptance of our Privacy Policy . If you do not agree to these terms, please refrain from using our app.

Changes to these terms

We reserve the right to amend these terms from time to time. We will email you to alert you to any new terms or notify you of any change when you next use the app. Your continued use of the app will be deemed to be acceptance of any new terms.

Your privacy

Any personal information we obtain from your use of the app will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy (available here) which explains what information we collect and why. By using our Service, you consent to such processing - including sharing of anonymised Personal data and Medical Record data with third parties, as outlined in our Privacy Policy.  We ask you to please read the Privacy Policy carefully so that you understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

Your account

You must register an account on the app to make use of our service and to do so you must meet our eligibility criteria. Accordingly, you represent and warrant to us that:

  • You are over the age of 18 and have full authority to enter into these terms.

  • You are setting up the application for your own usage

  • You are not currently restricted from using our app or service.

You shall keep your password secure for use of the app and not permit others to use your account. You are responsible for anything that happens through your account until it is closed down (unless the account security has been compromised through no fault of your own). If you discover any unauthorised use of your account, you must promptly let us know. We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, if in our opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these terms.

Your obligations

You may use our app only for lawful purposes and to submit information which is accurate and that you are entitled to submit. If you access our service from outside of the UK, you are responsible for ensuring that it is lawful to do so and complying with the laws of the country from where you access the service.

You may not, and you warrant that you will not, use our app in any way that breaches our acceptable use standards (set out below).

Acceptable Use

These acceptable use standards apply to any and all use you make of our app or service, including any information, material or other content which you submit via our app. These standards must be complied with in spirit as well as to the letter. We will determine, in our discretion, whether any use of our app or service breaches these acceptable use standards.

  • You must not use the app for any unlawful purpose or in any manner inconsistent with these terms, or act fraudulently or maliciously.

  • You must not send any material during your use of the app or behave in a way that is unlawful, dishonest, threatening, defamatory, obscene, discriminatory or is racially offensive.

  • You must not send any material which infringes our intellectual property rights or those of any third party.

  • You must not use our app to reproduce, duplicate, copy or re-sell any part of our app or service.

  • You should not create a false identity or submit inaccurate, false or misleading information.

  • You should not knowingly self-enter incorrect medical information, such as vaccination records

  • You should not knowingly introduce viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs or other material which is malicious or technologically harmful.

  • You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to our app, the server on which our app is stored or any server, computer or database connected to our app or service.

Your licence to use the app

On condition that you comply with your obligations under these terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and make personal use of the app in accordance with these terms.

Our rights in our app

We own or validly license all intellectual property rights in our app and service. Except to the extent set out in these terms, or otherwise agreed in writing between us, you are not permitted to use our intellectual property rights.

Permissions for us to process your personal data

Under data protection law we are the ‘data controller’ for your personal information. For details on how we use your personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

 

Through entering into this agreement, you are giving us permission to gather, process and store your personal data for the purpose of providing our services to you. This does not affect rights or obligations you or we have under data protection law. 

 

You can withdraw your permission by closing your account, which ends the agreement. If you do this, we will stop using your data to provide Services to you but we may need to keep data for other legal reasons.

Availability of our app and service

Please be aware that our app is provided on a free basis and without warranties of any kind. In particular, we make no warranty that our app or our service will meet your specific requirements or expectations or that it will be error-free.

 

Subject to the disclaimer above, we shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to make our service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except for planned or unplanned maintenance. We will also do our best to respond to all support queries within 72 hours.

 

Cancellation

Our core app is free to use and you may de-register your account at any time.

We may suspend your access or terminate your account with us if your use of our app or service breaches any of these terms. You will also be liable to us and indemnify us for any such breach. This means you will be responsible for any loss or damage we suffer as a result of your breach of these terms.

Our responsibility to you

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of the terms or our failing to take reasonable care and skill, up to the amount of £10. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time that you entered into these terms, both we and you knew it might happen (e.g. because you discussed it with us at the time).

We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. We are also not responsible for any loss or damage suffered by you as a result of your failure to follow our instructions or comply with these terms.

We only provide our app for your personal use. You agree not to use the app for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

Other important terms

If any provision of these terms is held by a court of law (or similar forum) to be invalid or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the rest of these terms.

If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of any breach by you of these terms, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. If we choose to waive any particular right we have under these terms on any particular occasion this does not prevent us from exercising that right on another occasion.

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will contact you if this happens and ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under these terms. You may only transfer your rights and obligations under these terms to another person if we agree in writing.

These terms are governed by English law and if there are any disputes arising out of your use of the app or relating to these terms then you can bring legal proceedings in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
