MaSanté Terms of Use
TERMS OF USE
The text below, as well as the Terms and Conditions for the Use of the Brunet.ca site and the Policy Regarding Confidentiality and Privacy Protection of McMahon Distributeur pharmaceutique inc. and its affiliated companies (hereinafter “Brunet”) constitute an agreement between Brunet and the pharmacies affiliated with Brunet, on the one hand, and the user (hereinafter the “User”) on the other hand, with regard to the conditions for using the MaSanté record and this Web site (hereinafter the “Site”), which is offered and operated by Brunet (hereinafter the “User Agreement”).
MA SANTÉ RECORD AND PRESCRIPTION REFILLS
The Site enables the User to:
- Refill his or her prescriptions
- Pay online for his or her prescriptions
- Consult his or her prescription drug record
- Communicate with Brunet
- Find out about information and offers concerning products
- Have access to services and offers corresponding to his or her needs
- Have access to health-related information or services that are likely to be of interest
- Better understand his or her needs and the way in which Brunet may improve its products and services and those of the User’s pharmacist.
The User’s requests concerning use of the MaSanté record will be communicated to the pharmacy affiliated with Brunet where the User has chosen to make his request.. The pharmacist on duty in the selected pharmacy affiliated with Brunet is responsible at all times for preparation of the User’s prescription and updating the user’s patient record. Brunet cannot be held liable for the pharmacist’s professional work. The User should not hesitate to consult his or her pharmacist when he or she wishes to obtain information on a medicine.
At the time of registration of the MaSanté record on the Site, Brunet asks the user to supply his or her last name and first name, e-mail address, postal code, and some other information. All of this information is used to personalize the User’s visit on the Site and to send the User various information by e-mail, if he or she wishes. The User may change the information and preferences of his or her user profile at any time in the Site’s “Profile” section.
It is understood that the online payment service does not constitute an offer to sell, but rather an invitation to refill your prescription and place an order. For the same reasons, the confirmation of the receipt of your order and the confirmation of payment, will not be considered as the acceptance of the offer. The sales agreement will be concluded after you have picked up your order at the pharmacy or after home delivery. You agree that McMahon Distributeur pharmaceutique inc. ("McMahon") assigns all its rights and obligations in your order, to the pharmacy selected to refill, receive payment and carry out delivery, as the case may be. Consequently, your detailed invoice will be issued by the selected pharmacy and not by McMahon. Delivery will be made by vehicles used by the selected pharmacy.

The User hereby acknowledges and agrees that the personnel assigned to maintenance of the Site will have access to this information insofar as this access is necessary to the tasks that they perform for as long as the User’s pharmacist whose pharmacy is affiliated with Brunet has not communicated to the Site’s personnel the User’s unsubscription, if applicable.

The User may unsubscribe from the MaSanté record at any time by sending written notice to his or her pharmacist.
Brunet reserves the right to deactivate the record of any User after two (2) years of inactivity. Following deactivation of the record, the User’s personal information will be archived by Brunet for one (1) additional year.

All precautions have been taken to protect the User’s personal information transmitted to Brunet against any error, loss, or unauthorized access. Despite all of these precautions, the User must take all personal security measures necessary to maintain an optimal level of security when he or she browses on the Site. Among other things, it is strongly recommended that the User choose a personal e-mail address, rather than an e-mail address that is shared with or accessible by a third party (for example, a family electronic mail address or one linked to the User’s employer).

Brunet offers the User the possibility to change his or her password at any time and sends an automatic notification to this effect every 180 days.

The invalidation of one of the provisions in the User Agreement will not have the effect of invalidating all the other provisions. Any provision deemed invalid may be withdrawn from the User Agreement without affecting its substance.
The non-exercise by Brunet of one of its rights in no way constitutes a renunciation of this right in the future or of the effect of one of the provisions in the User Agreement.
In case of divergence or contradiction between the terms of the present agreement and those in the Terms and Conditions for Use of the Brunet.ca Site or the Privacy Protection Policy of Brunet, the terms of the present agreement take precedence.
