2.2 The Live Better rewards Company has engaged third party providers to operate the Live Better rewards Platform. Accordingly, the use of the Live Better rewards Platform is subject to the terms of use of those third party providers (Third Party Terms) and those Third Party Terms form part of the Membership Agreement.

2.3 If there is any inconsistency between these Live Better rewards Terms and Conditions, the My Medibank Terms, the Medibank Privacy Policy, specific terms for a Live Better points Promotion, specific terms for earning Live Better points or the redemption and supply of a Reward, or any Third Party Terms, then those terms must be read in the following (descending) order of precedence:

Otherwise, at all times, the current version of these Live Better rewards Terms and Conditions and Medibank Privacy Policy can be accessed and reviewed at Medibank’s website.

3.3 Except with respect to changes that have been notified to Live Better rewards Members as contemplated in clause 3.2, changes to these Live Better rewards Terms and Conditions will not affect the number of Live Better points that a Live Better rewards Member has earned before the effective date of change.

3.4 Notwithstanding any provision of the Membership Agreement (including those incorporated by reference), the Live Better rewards Company and Medibank may do anything reasonably required (including varying these Live Better rewards Terms and Conditions, the My Medibank Terms and the Medibank Privacy Policy) to ensure that the Medibank Group and all aspects of Live Better rewards (including the earning and redemption of Live Better points) are compliant with all applicable laws, including all laws relating to private health insurance.

4.1 An Earning Activity:

(a) in respect of a Rewards Member is any activity that entitles a Rewards Member to be awarded Live Better points under clause 4.2; and

(b) in respect of a Non Rewards Member is any activity that entitles a Non Rewards Member to be awarded Live Better points under clauses 4.4 and 4.5.

A Rewards Member may need to be at least 18 years of age to participate in, or undertake, an Earning Activity, under the terms of that Earning Activity as published by the Live Better rewards Company on the Live Better rewards Platform, or as otherwise notified to the Rewards Member by the Live Better rewards Company (including through direct communication).

4.2 A Rewards Member with an Active Live Better rewards Account will be awarded with Live Better points after completing any one or more of the following activities:

(a) either:

(i) receiving an Eligible Dental Check-Up, and lodging and receiving approval for a claim for that Eligible Dental Check-Up under an Eligible Medibank Insurance Policy (that includes an extras policy) under which that Rewards Member is insured; or

(ii) having a child under the age of 18 who is insured under an Eligible Medibank Insurance Policy (which includes an extras policy) held by the Rewards Member as the policy holder (Dependant), receive an Eligible Dental Check-Up, and lodging and receiving approval for a claim for that Eligible Dental Check-Up under an Eligible Medibank Insurance Policy (which includes an extras policy) held by the Rewards Member as the policy holder;

Note:  Rewards Members should be aware that under some Eligible Medibank Insurance Policies (that include extras policies), Live Better points can only be awarded to a Rewards Member for receiving a specified number of Eligible Dental Check-Ups (and not after each time a Rewards Member receives an Eligible Dental Check-Up).  Rewards Members should therefore check their My Medibank account, or contact Medibank using the contact details provided at https://www.medibank.com.au/contact-us/, to confirm the circumstances under which they are eligible to be awarded Live Better points for receiving Eligible Dental Check-Ups, under the relevant Eligible Medibank Insurance Policy (that includes an extras policy) under which they are insured.

(b) purchasing an Eligible Product or Service (other than an Eligible Dental Check-Up) from a Program Partner for personal, domestic or household use or consumption:

(i) at that Program Partner’s retail store or location (where applicable);

(ii) using the Program Partner’s online platform; or

(iii) through the Live Better rewards Platform,
and then continuing to be insured under an Eligible Medibank Insurance Policy until the Live Better points are awarded to that Rewards Member’s Live Better rewards Account (which may be up to 60 days after the date of purchase unless stated otherwise on the Live Better rewards Platform) and complying with any other requirements as set out in the Live Better rewards Platform in relation to that purchase (for example, (if not using a Linked Payment Card) “linking” that Rewards Member’s Live Better rewards Account with an account under the Program Partner’s loyalty program, which (subject to clause 4.5 below) can only be done if at least one of the Eligible Medibank Insurance Policies under which that Rewards Member is insured and has not been suspended or cancelled, and the premium payments for that policy are not in arrears). For the avoidance of doubt, and unless otherwise specified on the Live Better rewards Platform, Live Better points will not be awarded if, at the time of purchasing an Eligible Product or Service as contemplated in this clause 4.2(b), all of the requirements in this clause 4.2(b) have not been complied with, and Live Better points will not be awarded retrospectively;

(c) participating in (and complying with the terms of) a Live Better points Promotion; or

(d) satisfying the requirements of any other Earning Activity, as published by the Live Better rewards Company from time to time on the Live Better rewards Platform, or as otherwise notified to Rewards Members by the Live Better rewards Company (including through direct communication).

4.3 The maximum number of Eligible Dental Check-Ups for which a Rewards Member can be awarded with Live Better points is as follows:

(a) a maximum of two Eligible Dental Check-Ups received by the Rewards Member per calendar year; and

(b) a maximum of two Eligible Dental Check-Ups received by each Dependant per calendar year.

Note:  Rewards Members should be aware that under some Eligible Medibank Insurance Policies (that include extras policies), a Rewards Member can only be awarded Live Better points for a maximum of one Eligible Dental Check-Up received by the Rewards Member per calendar year.  Rewards Members should therefore check their My Medibank account, or contact Medibank using the contact details provided at https://www.medibank.com.au/contact-us/, to confirm the circumstances under which they are eligible to be awarded Live Better points for receiving Eligible Dental Check-Ups, under the relevant Eligible Medibank Insurance Policy (that includes an extras policy) under which they are insured.

4.4 Subject to clause 4.5, a Non Rewards Member with an Active Live Better rewards Account will be awarded with Live Better points after completing any one or more of the following activities:

(a) participating in (and complying with the terms of) a Live Better points Promotion in which Non Rewards Members generally (or that person in particular) are eligible to participate in; or

(b) satisfying the requirements of any other Earning Activity in which Non Rewards Members are eligible to complete or participate in, as published by the Live Better rewards Company from time to time using the Live Better rewards Platform.

As noted in clause 1.3(b), Non Rewards Members cannot redeem Live Better points in exchange for Rewards.

4.5 Notwithstanding clause 4.4:

(a) a person with an Active Live Better rewards Account who is a Non Rewards Member solely due to:

(i) holding an ambulance only Medibank health insurance policy (which is not cancelled); or

(ii) all of their Eligible Medibank Insurance Policies being suspended but not cancelled under clause 1.5(a); or

(iii) the operation of clause 1.5(b),

can also earn Live Better points by completing the Earning Activity described in clause 4.2(b), despite the fact that clause 4.2(b) is stated to apply only to Rewards Members who hold Eligible Medibank Insurance Policies that have not been suspended or cancelled, and the premium payments for which are not in arrears; and

(b) the Live Better rewards Company may (at its discretion and from time to time) impose additional restrictions on Non Rewards Members’ ability to earn Live Better points, such as limiting the number of Live Better points that they may be able to earn during a certain period or for certain Earning Activities.

4.6 The number of Live Better points that a Live Better rewards Member may earn from completing an Earning Activity are as set out in the Live Better rewards Platform (and those numbers may change from time to time).

4.7 If a Live Better rewards Member successfully completes an Earning Activity and complies with all requirements associated with that Earning Activity, the Live Better rewards Company will credit that person’s Live Better rewards Account with the relevant number of Live Better points as soon as possible after the Live Better rewards Company has received all required information relating to that Earning Activity, which may be dependent on factors outside the control of the Live Better rewards Company (such as where there is a delay in the provision of information from a Program Partner, the Card Linking Vendor, or errors or inconsistencies in the data provided by the relevant Live Better rewards Member, Card Linking Vendor or Program Partner), and may take up to 60 days after the date of completion of the Earning Activity (unless stated otherwise on the Live Better rewards Platform).

4.8 Each Live Better points Promotion may be subject to its own set of terms and conditions, which will be taken to be incorporated in (and form part of) the Membership Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of the Membership Agreement (including those incorporated by reference), and unless otherwise expressly specified on the Live Better rewards Platform, but subject to clause 4.13 the maximum number of Live Better points that each Live Better rewards Member can earn in a calendar year from successfully completing any points-earning activity associated with any Onboarding Action, any Live Better points Promotion (including one or more Health and Wellbeing Challenges, or Goals) or any Partner Activity Earn (but excluding all purchases of goods or services from a Program Partner), is 40,000 Live Better points.

4.9 If a person qualifies as an Eligible Person and that person is the holder of one or more Eligible Medibank Insurance Policies which includes an extras policy, but the Eligible Person:

(a) has not registered to participate in Live Better rewards; or

(b) has previously registered to participate in Live Better rewards but his/her Live Better rewards Account has been deactivated under clause 10.2 or terminated or suspended under clause 13.2(d),
and that Eligible Person (or a child under the age of 18 who is insured under an Eligible Medibank Insurance Policy (which includes an extras policy) held by that Eligible Person as the policy holder) receives an Eligible Dental Check-Up and then lodges and receives approval for a claim for that Eligible Dental Check-Up under the relevant Eligible Medibank Insurance Policy, then:

(c) the Live Better rewards Company may record and hold the Live Better points that the Eligible Person would have earned if:

(i) they were a Live Better rewards Member at that time;

(ii) their Live Better rewards Account had not been terminated or suspended under clause 13.2(d) before that time; or

(iii) their Live Better rewards Account had been reactivated under clause 10.2 before that time,
(in each case, Pre-Activation points),
for the benefit of that Eligible Person for a period of 6 months from the date the Eligible Dental Check-Up is provided (Holding Period);

(d) if, during the Holding Period, that Eligible Person:

(i) registers to participate in Live Better rewards and becomes a Live Better rewards Member;

(ii) opens a new Live Better rewards Account under clause 13.8(c); or

(iii) reactivates a previously active Live Better rewards Account held by that Eligible Person in accordance with clause 10.2,
his/her Live Better rewards Account will be credited with the Pre-Activation points; and

(e) if, during the Holding Period, that Eligible Person does not register to participate in Live Better rewards, does not open a new Live Better rewards Account under clause 13.8(c) or does not reactivate a previously active Live Better rewards Account held by that Eligible Person in accordance with clause 10.2 (in each case, in accordance with clause 4.9(d)), the Live Better rewards Company will cancel and delete the Pre-Activation points at the end of the Holding Period.

4.10 Additional terms and conditions (including the method of recording and evidencing completion of an Earning Activity) may apply to the earning of Live Better points as set out in the Live Better rewards Platform.

4.11 The Live Better rewards Company may at any time:

(a) reverse the Live Better points credited to the Live Better rewards Account of a Live Better rewards Member if an Earning Activity is cancelled or reversed (such as where the purchase of an Eligible Product or Service from a Program Partner is refunded);

(b) update the number of Live Better points credited to the Live Better rewards Account of a Live Better rewards Member if an Earning Activity is changed (such as where the purchase of an Eligible Product or Service from a Program Partner is exchanged for a different Eligible Product or Service);

(c) decide not to credit the Live Better rewards Account of a Live Better rewards Member with Live Better points (or reverse Live Better points already credited to the Live Better rewards Account of a Live Better rewards Member) if the Live Better rewards Company has reasonable grounds to suspect that those Live Better points were earned using fraudulent or dishonest means or behaviour, by misrepresentation or by misleading or deceptive conduct; and/or

(d) update the number of Live Better points credited to the Live Better rewards Account of a Live Better rewards Member if Live Better points have been credited or recorded in error,
even if that action reduces the balance of Live Better points held in a Live Better rewards Account to zero.

4.12 The following terms apply to the earning of Live Better points under the Card Linking System:

(a) to earn Live Better points under the Card Linking System, a Live Better rewards Member must:

(i) have an Active Live Better rewards Account;

(ii) link at least one Payment Card to their Live Better rewards Account, in the manner specified in the Card Linking System Rules, to make it a Linked Payment Card; and

(iii) purchase an Eligible Product or Service (other than an Eligible Dental Check-Up) directly from a Program Partner for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, using a Linked Payment Card.
For the avoidance of doubt, and unless otherwise specified in the Card Linking System Rules, Live Better points will not be awarded under the Card Linking System if, at the time of purchasing an Eligible Product or Service as contemplated in clause 4.12(a)(iii), all of the requirements set out in this clause 4.12(a) have not been complied with, and Live Better points will not be awarded retrospectively;

(b) any purchase of an Eligible Product or Service that is made through a third party payment provider (such as PayPal or Afterpay), or through any other means where the relevant Program Partner is not the merchant of record, and not directly from that Program Partner using a Linked Payment Card, may result in Live Better points not being awarded to a Live Better rewards Member under the Card Linking System;

(c) the Card Linking System Rules may from time to time specify other circumstances under which Live Better points may not be awarded to a Live Better rewards Member under the Card Linking System;

(d) if the issuer of a Payment Card issues a Live Better rewards Member with a replacement Payment Card, the Live Better rewards Member must link that replacement Payment Card to their Live Better rewards Account in the manner specified in the Card Linking System Rules, to make it a Linked Payment Card;

(e) to cease the earning of Live Better points under the Card Linking System, a Live Better rewards Member must unlink all Linked Payment Cards from their Live Better rewards Account in the manner specified in the Card Linking System Rules; and

(f) if a Live Better rewards Member becomes a Non Rewards Member that, under these Live Better rewards Terms and Conditions, cannot earn Live Better points in the circumstances described in clause 4.5, all their Linked Payment Cards (if any) will be automatically unlinked from their Live Better rewards Account.

4.13 At its sole and absolute discretion, the Live Better rewards Company may at any time (and from time to time) award bonus Live Better points to Rewards Members (or a subset of them) that do not count towards the maximum number of Live Better points in a calendar year specified in clause 4.8, in various circumstances of it choosing, including (without limitation):

(a) an ex-gratia award of bonus Live Better points as determined by the Live Better Company; and

(b) an award of bonus Live Better points for: 

(i) taking part in additional activities relating to any Goal, Health and Wellbeing Activity or Health and Wellbeing Challenge (in accordance with the terms of the relevant Goal, Health and Wellbeing Activity or Health and Wellbeing Challenge, or the terms of any applicable Live Better points Promotion), as published on the Live Better rewards Platform, or as otherwise notified to the relevant Rewards Members by the Live Better rewards Company (including through direct communication); or
