MediOpinions is an Online HealthCare Community dedicated to making your voice heard and allowing you to tell leading providers of products and services what you think. When you are a part of the MediOpinions HealthCare Community, we request that you observe the following rules:
MediOpinions values our members’ opinions, and to show our appreciation, we offer incentives in the form of credits called “Points,” which are credited to your account maintained by MediOpinions. Points are redeemable for cash or rewards as specified and subject to the terms below.
Your ability to earn points is not time-based and we will only award you points, which will be deposited into your account in return for your participation in activities authorised by MediOpinions, which include, but are not limited to, registration as a panellist, completion of demographic profiles and completion of qualitative or quantitative marketing research activities conducted by MediOpinions, and only in accordance with the specific incentive offer disclosed for each activity.
MediOpinions is dedicated to providing quality data to our clients. To ensure this level of quality, please note that you might not qualify for all Surveys, in which case, the Survey will close, and you will not receive Points. The reasons you might not qualify include but are not limited to:
The timing of credits for Points depends on the Survey. For some Surveys, credits are applied within a few days; for others, the credits are applied after the Survey has closed.
Although MediOpinions makes every effort to ensure that accounts are credited correctly, it is your responsibility to verify that your Points have been credited properly. If you feel the incentive amounts credited to your account are incorrect, you need to contact MediOpinions by email within 30 days, explaining in full the basis of your claim. Upon receipt of your notice, we will investigate your claim and notify you of our decision to adjust or maintain the amount of Points credited to your account, as we deem appropriate, within thirty (30) days. If we need additional time to decide your claim, we will notify you and will endeavour to render a decision as soon as reasonably practicable. Any decision by us with regard to such a claim will be final.
When Points are credited to your account, they will remain valid for a period of 1 year from the date they are earned. If after this period the Points have not been used, they will automatically expire and be deleted from your account. This deduction will always occur towards the end of the month, usually on the 28th day. Points cannot be redeemed after the expiration date.
In addition, all of your Points will immediately expire and be forfeited in the event that you cancel your account with MediOpinions or if your account becomes "inactive." To be an active member means that you have joined MediOpinions and participated in a Survey or other activities on this Site within 12 months from your initial registration or within the preceding 12 months. We will not provide you with any notice of the cancellation and forfeiture of any of your Points. MediOpinions reserves the right to amend these cancellation and forfeiture rules in its sole discretion.
Points may not be assigned, transferred and/or pledged to any third party. You have no property rights or other legal interests in any Points granted pursuant to the MediOpinions Points Program.
