In these Terms, "Valia Live", "we", "us" and "our" refer to Valia Live and the relevant business entity operating the website and services.

By accessing our website, submitting an enquiry, registering for a program, requesting a resource, booking a consultation, participating in a session or otherwise using our services, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use the website or services.

2. Eligibility to Use Our Services

Our website is generally intended for adults, older adults, family members, carers, retirement community staff, aged-care organisations and other individuals or organisations interested in our services.

Where a participant is unable to independently agree to the terms of a service, the appropriate parent, guardian, carer or authorised representative may need to provide consent where required.

By registering another person for a program, you confirm that you have the authority to provide the information and make the registration on their behalf.

3. Using Our Website

You agree to use our website responsibly and only for lawful purposes.

You must not:

  • Use the website for unlawful, fraudulent or misleading purposes;
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems;
  • Interfere with the security or operation of the website;
  • Introduce viruses, malicious software or harmful code;
  • Attempt to access another user's information;
  • Copy or reproduce our website content without permission;
  • Scrape, extract or systematically collect website content without our written permission;
  • Use our content to create or promote a competing service without permission;
  • Misrepresent your identity or relationship with another person or organisation.

We may restrict or suspend access to the website where reasonably necessary to protect our users, systems, content or business.

4. Website Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information published on our website is accurate, useful and up to date.

However, website information may change and may contain general educational or informational material.

Information on our website should not be treated as:

  • Medical advice;
  • Clinical advice;
  • A diagnosis;
  • Psychological advice;
  • Financial advice;
  • Legal advice; or
  • A substitute for advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

You should consider your own circumstances and obtain appropriate professional advice where necessary.

5. Cognitive, Brain Health and Wellness Activities

Valia Live activities are designed to encourage cognitive engagement, mental stimulation, social interaction and general wellbeing.

Our activities may involve memory, attention, concentration, logic, problem solving, language, visual processing, mental agility and social interaction.

Participation in these activities does not guarantee a particular cognitive, medical or health outcome.

Valia Live does not represent that participation in its programs will prevent, diagnose, treat or cure:

  • Dementia;
  • Alzheimer's disease;
  • Memory disorders;
  • Cognitive impairment;
  • Neurological conditions; or
  • Any other medical condition.

Our programs are not a replacement for professional medical assessment, diagnosis or treatment.

If you or someone you care for has concerns about memory, cognition, behaviour or other health issues, you should consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

6. Quiz and Brain-Test Results

From time to time, Valia Live may provide online quizzes, brain games or cognitive challenges.

These activities are intended for education, engagement and entertainment.

Results should not be interpreted as a medical or psychological assessment.

A quiz result does not establish whether someone has:

  • Dementia;
  • Alzheimer's disease;
  • Cognitive impairment;
  • Memory loss;
  • A neurological condition; or
  • Any other health condition.

Quiz scores may be affected by many factors, including familiarity with the activity, environment, technology, concentration and individual circumstances.

If you have concerns about cognitive or memory changes, please seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

7. Participation and Individual Suitability

Valia Live programs are designed to be accessible and engaging for older adults, but individual needs and circumstances differ.

Participants are responsible for determining whether they are comfortable participating in an activity.

Participants should:

  • Follow reasonable instructions provided during sessions;
  • Participate only at a level that is comfortable for them;
  • Stop an activity if they experience discomfort;
  • Tell the facilitator if they need assistance;
  • Seek professional advice where they have concerns about their ability to participate.

Where appropriate, a carer, family member, support worker or authorised representative may assist a participant.

8. Physical Safety

Most Valia Live activities are designed to focus on cognitive and social engagement.

Where an activity includes movement, participants should only perform movements that are appropriate for their individual physical ability.

Participants should not undertake any activity that causes pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, discomfort or concern.

If you experience concerning symptoms during a session, stop participating and seek appropriate assistance.

Valia Live does not provide medical supervision unless a specific service expressly states otherwise.
