APP STORE AND GOOGLE PLAY TERMS ALSO APPLY

The ways in which you can use the App and Documentation may also be controlled by the App Store and Google Play’s rules and policies (including their Privacy Policies), and those rules and policies will apply instead of these terms where there are differences between the two.

OPERTAING SYSTEM AND ACCESS REQUIREMENTS

This app requires an iOS or Android smartphone device and supports the operating systems: iOS 11 and all following iOS and Android Lollipop and all following OS for Android excluding iOS and Android beta versions.

You are solely responsible for paying any fees relating to your use of the App through your device, including data and roaming charges, and must provide all equipment, software and access necessary to use the App and our Services. You may not be able to continuously access the App or our Service whilst using another feature of your device, such as voice calling, dependent upon your settings or its capability.

YOUR GOVIDA DASHBOARD

Your GoVida Dashboard displays your GoVida Point earnings (“GoVPs”) See how to earn GoVida points via link below:

How do I earn GoVida points?

Charity Earnings are calculated as a percentage of your total GoVP earnings (This percentage is determined by your employer and the earnings are expressed in the national currency and are the responsibility of the employer to pass over to the respective charity).

POINTS, BENEFITS AND REWARDS

GoVPs are non-transferable, do not have any monetary value and cannot be redeemed for cash. They may not be “sold” to any third party. We reserve the right at our sole discretion to deduct GoVPs from any user account in the event of any breach of the terms of this licence.

The number of GoVPs needed to redeem against any reward or benefit is subject to change in our sole discretion and that of the relevant Employer, and any previous redemption value is not indicative of any future redemption value.

The rewards and benefits offered through the redemption of GoVPs (and their expiry date or other terms) may change over time, and may be either amended or removed from redemption from time to time in our sole discretion and that of the relevant Employer.

We are not obliged in any situation to credit GoVPs to the account of any user in the event that they have not been validated by our systems, even in the event the data from a device may suggest that they should be awarded based upon activity.

Any decision on the allocation or removal of GoVPs is in our absolute discretion and our determination as to whether GoVPs should be awarded or removed is final.

Once  GoVPs have been redeemed towards a reward or benefit they will not be re-credited to a user’s account, regardless of whether or not they have changed their mind in wanting to receive the reward or benefit in relation to which they were redeemed.

In the event that we incorrectly calculate the number of GoVPs redeemed in relation to a reward or benefit, we may in our sole discretion, recredit your account or arrange for redemption in any event.

Where you leave employment or your employer ends their contract with us your access to the App will end.  When your access ends your GoVPs will be removed,

You can earn GoVPs through your use of the App on the basis set out in the App, Documentation or Service.  Any change to the basis of allocation of GoVPs shall apply as soon as an update is made. See how to earn  GoVPs via the link below:

How do I earn GoVida points?

REWARDS

Users can see a list of rewards associated with their account through the “Rewards” tab on the App. Clicking on a reward will show further details, and if a User has enough GoVPs available to spend in their wallet (shown at the top left of the App), then they can click “Redeem” and confirm that they want to proceed. The related GoVP value will be deducted from the User’s Wallet.

We offer two types of rewards: “Employer Powered” and “GoVida Powered”. Redemption of Employer Powered Rewards must be authorised by the User’s Employer. Once authorised, a User will receive a confirmatory push notification through their device and an e-mail to their work e-mail address provided on registration. GoVida Powered Rewards are automatically authorised by GoVida, after which the User will receive a confirmatory e-mail to their work e-mail address with further details on how the reward can be redeemed, along with a link to any related terms and conditions.

Once a reward has been redeemed, it will show in the “My Rewards” Tab in the App. Any Employer Powered Rewards awaiting authorisation will show as “Pending”, and any authorised or otherwise redeemed rewards will show as “Delivered”.

LEADERBOARD

Any user of the App can see a Leaderboard containing activity information relating to their colleagues’ step count and distance covered over the day, week, month and year. By using the App you agree to the use of the Leaderboard on this basis.  To sync the most recent Leaderboard information to the App, pull down on the home/dashboard screen until you can see the refresh symbol rotate.
