If you meet the eligibility requirements set out in these terms and conditions, your AIA Vitality membership will be activated upon the inception of the Eligible Retail Policy and following registration and receipt of payment details for the payment of your Annual Membership Contribution.

  • as a life insured under an existing Eligible Retail Policy, you may apply for AIA Vitality at any time by completing the relevant documentation.

Unless you are insured under an Eligible Direct Policy, or an Eligible Person under an Eligible Health Insurance Policy the cooling off period ends on the earlier of 21 days after you register for AIA Vitality or your booking (if applicable) or utilisation of any benefit. If you are the Eligible Person under an Eligible Health Insurance Policy, the cooling off period ends on the earlier of 30 days after you activate your AIA Vitality membership or your booking (if applicable) or utilisation of any benefit.

8  Annual Membership Contribution

If you are insured under an Eligible Retail Policy that requires you to pay an Annual Membership Contribution to participate in the AIA Vitality Program (AIA Australia waives the Annual Membership Contribution in its sole and absolute discretion), participation and membership in AIA Vitality is subject to the payment of an Annual Membership Contribution. Your first Annual Membership Contribution (or part thereof if a catch-up payment is required) shall be payable to us within 21 days of your AIA Vitality membership commencing (or such other date as is notified by AIA Australia from time to time). All other Annual Membership Contributions shall be payable to us on or before your Annual Membership Contribution due date.

If you are the life insured under a new or existing Eligible Retail Policy and an Annual Membership Contribution is payable, your Annual Membership Contributions may be collected together with, or separately from, the premiums of the Eligible Retail Policy associated with your membership as determined by AIA Australia in its sole and absolute discretion. Where required by AIA Australia and where permitted by law, you must procure that the Policy Owner of the Eligible Policy will pay the Annual Membership Contribution for the AIA Vitality membership and agree to pay the Annual Membership Contribution to AIA Australia yourself if the Policy Owner refuses to, or defaults on paying the Annual Membership Contribution.

If you are an exclusive member, AIA Australia may at its sole and absolute discretion, agree with your employer or another third party to have them pay the Annual Membership Contribution to us on your behalf.

Where applicable, the Annual Membership Contribution for the following year will be advised to you or in relation to exclusive members, to a third party such as your employer (where relevant) on initial application and/or prior to the Annual Membership Contribution due date. We reserve the right to vary the Annual Membership Contribution provided we notify you in advance of the new Annual Membership Contribution prior to the Annual Membership Contribution due date. If you are not satisfied with the revised contribution amount, you may terminate your membership in accordance with clause 10 of these terms and conditions.

Your Annual Membership Contribution may be paid to us on an annual or such other periodic basis and using such payment methods as may be approved by us. Each periodic payment is an instalment of the current year’s Annual Membership Contribution.

If we do not receive payment of your first Annual Membership Contribution (or part thereof if a catch-up payment is required) within 21 days of your AIA Vitality membership commencing (or such other date as is notified by AIA Australia from time to time) your AIA Vitality membership will be terminated with effect from inception.

If we do not receive payment of the amount due of your Annual Membership Contribution within 60 days from the Annual Membership Contribution due date (Grace Period), your AIA Vitality membership will automatically terminate. Your AIA Vitality membership, points and status will remain in force during the Grace Period.

 

9  Offset Functionality

Where payments are received by AIA Australia and those payments are not due, or the amount received is greater than or less than the amount due, AIA Australia intends to treat those payments as follows:

  • Where payment is received by AIA Australia and payment is not due, AIA Australia may hold the amount received in an offset account and apply it to future amounts due.

  • Where payment is received by AIA Australia the amount received is greater than the amount due, AIA Australia may apply a portion of the amount received to cover the amount due and hold the remaining amount in an offset account and apply it to future amounts due.

  • Where payment is received by AIA Australia and the amount received is less than the amount due, AIA Australia may hold the amount received in an offset account until the outstanding amount is received and then may apply the total amount received to the amount due.

AIA Australia will only apply amounts held in an offset account to fees related to AIA Vitality where AIA Australia, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that the amount was intended to be used for this purpose.

These offset functionality changes are applicable to the extent not otherwise prohibited or restricted by law.

The effective date of termination of your AIA Vitality membership will be 14 days after a valid notice of termination has been given to AIA Australia.

 

10.2  Termination of the AIA Vitality Program or your AIA Vitality membership by us

We reserve the right to terminate, suspend, cancel, deactivate, recall or revoke the AIA Vitality Program (in whole or in part) at any time and do not guarantee that the AIA Vitality Program will continue indefinitely or that it will be managed and owned by us.

We further reserve the right to terminate, suspend or deactivate your AIA Vitality membership (in whole or in part, including your access and right to utilise one or more of the benefits), your transaction(s), AIA Vitality membership number, points and/or forfeit the accumulated points, immediately or at any time as determined by us, for reasons which include (but are not limited to):

  • if we detect or suspect any unusual, irregular, suspicious, fraudulent or unauthorised use or activity or any threatened or actual breach by you of the AIA Vitality terms and conditions, AIA Vitality Terms of Use or of any benefit guides;
  • if you do not or no longer qualify (or we suspect that you do not or no longer qualify) for an AIA Vitality membership including without limitation, as an exclusive member, under these terms and conditions;
  • if the Annual Membership Contribution (if applicable) or any other fees payable to us or to any of our partners are not paid by the due date;
  • if we believe that you are abusing the benefits or privileges of the program;
  • if you were at the time of application and are no longer the life insured or Eligible Person under an Eligible Policy.

In the event of termination of the AIA Vitality Program or termination of your AIA Vitality membership by us, we will notify you in writing of such termination by posting details of the termination on the AIA Australia website, the AIA Vitality website, portals or on-line facilities or at AIA Australia’s sole and absolute discretion, by communicating such termination to you by electronic transmission e.g. email (sent to your last notified email address), by hardcopy mail out (sent to your last notified mailing address) or by SMS, MMS, telephone, fax or any other means of communication (including without limitation, via any of your telephone numbers, whether registered in Australia or otherwise or if applicable, via a third party such as your employer or the distributor of your Eligible Policy).

In the event of termination of the AIA Vitality Program, AIA Australia will, subject to applicable laws and the terms of our agreements with partners, use reasonable endeavours to allow AIA Vitality Members to access their benefits ordered as at the date of termination of the AIA Vitality Program, for a period of 90 days from the date that notification of termination of the AIA Vitality Program is issued by AIA Australia, or, at AIA Australia’s sole and absolute discretion, until such valid benefit previously purchased by you has expired. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not apply when we terminate your AIA Vitality membership.

 

10.3  If your membership terminates

If your membership is terminated for any reason:

  • In cases where an Annual Membership Contribution is payable, except where your AIA Vitality membership is cancelled during the cooling off period:
    • if your Annual Membership Contribution is paid on an annual or periodic basis (except monthly) we will refund the portion of the Annual Membership Contribution paid to us in advance (if any) on a pro rata basis for each whole month remaining after the effective date of termination of your membership. The payment will be made by AIA Australia within 30 days of the effective date of termination.
    • If your Annual Membership Contribution is paid on a monthly basis (or fortnightly where permitted by AIA Australia), no refund of any portion of the Annual Membership Contribution will be payable.
  • If you join AIA Vitality other than as an exclusive member, you have a cooling off period after you join AIA Vitality to change your mind and cancel your membership and receive a refund of your Annual Membership Contribution (if applicable). Where an AIA Vitality membership is cancelled during the cooling off period and payment of the Annual Membership Contribution has been received, the AIA Vitality membership Contribution will be refunded by AIA Australia to the AIA Vitality Member.

  • If your Annual Membership Contribution is due prior to the effective date of termination (including after you have given AIA Australia notice of termination) payment of the Annual Membership Contribution will be due and payable despite termination notice having been given.

  • Any discounts, benefits (including access to the AIA Vitality portal) and rewards to which you have been entitled as an AIA Vitality member will no longer be available. Agreements you may have with AIA Vitality partners may remain (subject to the relevant partner terms and conditions including notice period), but may be subject to altered terms (including potentially higher rates). You may be entitled to any outstanding partner cash back that you earned less any outstanding fees due to AIA Australia, subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant benefit guide.

  • In the event that there are any unpaid sums owed to AIA Australia or any of our partners in connection with your AIA Vitality membership, upon the termination of your AIA Vitality membership, we reserve the right to deduct any such unpaid sums from the benefits that you may have earned.

  • Any discounts which may have applied in respect of your Eligible Policy will cease from the next policy anniversary date and any cashback balances will cease immediately.

  • Any points and status will cease upon the termination of your AIA Vitality membership.

 

11 Other important information

11.1  General Information

Membership of the AIA Vitality Program does not give rise to any legal relationship with AIA Australia, other than being bound by these terms and conditions and the other governing documentation referred to in clause 1 of these terms and conditions, and when entitled to do so, to receive any benefits.

Nothing herein shall be construed as a representation by us that AIA Vitality and/or AIA Vitality membership number is available for use in geographic areas or jurisdictions other than Australia.

The AIA Vitality terms and conditions and other governing documentation (including but not limited to the AIA Vitality Terms of Use, AIA Australia Privacy Policy and benefit guides) and the use of the AIA Vitality membership number shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Victoria, Australia.

If for any reason, any provision or part of the AIA Vitality terms and conditions or any provision or part of any other governing documentation is found to be void or unenforceable, such provision or part of the AIA Vitality terms and conditions or of any other governing documentation shall be deemed to be severed from the AIA Vitality terms and conditions or such other governing documentation and the remainder of such provision or of the AIA Vitality terms and conditions or such other governing documentation, as the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect and may be enforced to the fullest extent possible.

Other benefit promotions, special discounts, competitions, exclusive offers etc. (Campaigns) may be offered from time to time, including by us, our partners or affiliates. If they are offered, other terms and conditions may apply for the duration of the Campaign, which may be in addition to, or which may amend existing terms and conditions for the duration of the Campaign, which may be notified by mail, email, SMS, the AIA Vitality website or the AIA Australia website www.aia.com.au or other facility (including if applicable, via a third party such as your employer or the distributor of your Eligible Policy).

 

11.2  How we communicate with you, consent to electronic communication and updating your details

We shall be entitled from time to time to contact you and provide you with any notice or other information in respect of your membership and participation in the program via electronic transmission (e.g. email), mail, SMS, MMS, telephone, fax and other means of communication (including without limitation, via any of your telephone numbers, whether registered in Australia or otherwise or in relation to exclusive members, via a third party such as your employer or the distributor of your Eligible Policy) or by posting any notice or other information on the AIA Vitality website, portals or on-line facilities.

You consent to receive documents and other information in relation to your AIA Vitality membership and any other arrangements you have with us by electronic communication (including without limitation, to the most recent email address we have for you in our records) and authorise us to act on instructions received electronically. You also consent to us communicating electronically the fact that some information can be obtained by following a hyper-link or by accessing an electronic address set out in the communication. You acknowledge that hard copy documents and information may not be given and that electronic communications must be regularly checked. You acknowledge that these consents and authority have effect to the maximum extent that we are permitted by law to act and provide information to you in accordance with these consents and authority. Notwithstanding these consents, we may still decide, at our sole and absolute discretion, to send you hard copy documents and information in certain circumstances.

We will use reasonable endeavours to transmit statements, notices and other material relevant to AIA Vitality Members to advise you of various matters of interest, including changes to the program, but we will not be responsible for correspondence lost or destroyed. Any statement, notice or other material will be deemed to have been given by us if it is uploaded to the AIA Vitality website or if it is sent to the email or physical mail address last notified to us by the AIA Vitality Member for the AIA Vitality Program. You are responsible for advising us of any change in your contact details, including email and physical mail address and telephone and fax numbers, and ensuring that your email address remains current and unblocked and that communications from us are not filtered or placed in a location where you do not see them so that we can provide documents and other information to you. You can update your email address on www.aiavitality.com.au. You can update all other details by calling the AIA Vitality Customer Call Centre on 1800 848 254. AIA Australia may at its discretion, permit a representative of yours or an intermediary (including without limitation, the policy owner of your policy, your employer, the distributor or financial adviser of your Eligible Policy) (Representative) to update your contact and other details (including without limitation, adding, changing or removing payment details (if relevant)). In certain circumstances, we may also reflect changes that you or a Representative make in respect of your Eligible Policy to your title, gender, name and contact details (such as address and contact telephone numbers) to your AIA Vitality Membership. AIA Australia will not be liable for failure to deliver a notice to you where you have failed to comply with the foregoing.

Where AIA Australia is required to give notice under these terms and conditions and it does so by electronic transmission (i.e. email), the notice is deemed given at the time of transmission (and not at the time of receipt) provided that AIA Australia doesn’t receive any error or other message indicating that the email was not received by the AIA Vitality member due to an AIA Australia related issue or server problem. For example, if you do not receive the email notice because you have changed email address, the notice has gone to your junk mail or your email inbox is full then the notice will still be deemed valid at the time it was sent by AIA Australia.

Your personal and sensitive information will be collected, used (including handled and stored) and disclosed by AIA Australia, AIA Financial Services Limited, AIA Group, AIA Vitality Company Limited (HK), Discovery Holdings Ltd (SA) and their related bodies corporate, affiliates and joint venture partners in accordance with the privacy policy and/or privacy statement of each of these entities as available on their website and in relation to AIA Australia Ltd, available at www.aia.com.auand in relation to Discovery Holdings Ltd available at https://www.discovery.co.za/portal/individual/terms-and-conditions.

Under no circumstances will AIA Australia be deemed to have knowledge of any AIA Vitality Program related information in respect of its underwriting and claims functions. In accordance with your statutory duty of disclosure, you are still therefore obliged to disclose any of this information to the extent it may be relevant in the event of any future application for insurance cover (including increased or varied cover) or changes to existing insurance cover or claims under an insurance policy with AIA Australia.

Your membership of, and participation in the AIA Vitality Program is based on mutual trust. Where dishonesty or fraud is detected, benefits may not be awarded, your AIA Vitality membership may be cancelled and the matter may be referred to the appropriate authorities. This AIA Vitality membership may become invalid and we may take other action consistent with our legal rights.

If any act or omission by you is dishonest or fraudulent or if any dishonest or fraudulent means or devices are used by you, any member of your household or anyone acting on your or their behalf in relation to the AIA Vitality Program, then all benefits under this program may be lost, your AIA Vitality membership may be cancelled and you may have to return to us any payments made by us and benefits provided by us, or any of our partners (or by any other party under our direction) as a result of your actions or the actions of any member of your household or anyone acting on your or their behalf as a result of any dishonest or fraudulent actions.

11.6 Exclusive memberships

From time to time and at our sole and absolute discretion, we may select individuals and offer exclusive memberships for AIA Vitality. In such circumstances the individual will be deemed to satisfy the eligibility criteria in these terms and conditions and other additional eligibility criteria as may be determined by us for the exclusive membership offer at our sole and absolute discretion. We may at our sole and absolute discretion waive the Annual Membership Contribution (or permit it to be paid by your employer or another third party on your behalf), the requirement to be insured under an Eligible Policy, or other requirements of AIA Vitality membership. Whether a selected individual is offered an exclusive membership and the eligibility and rules applicable to such exclusive membership are in the sole and absolute discretion of AIA Australia.

These terms and conditions apply to such exclusive memberships, except where the terms and conditions are inconsistent with this clause 10.6, in which case this clause 10.6 will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency. If an exclusive membership is offered, other terms and conditions may apply, which may be notified by the AIA Vitality website, mail, email, SMS or such other facility as AIA Australia determines at its sole and absolute discretion. We reserve the right to terminate, suspend, cancel, deactivate, recall or revoke an exclusive membership offered at any time. Exclusive members acknowledge and agree that the AIA Vitality website and its contents have been built for, and are relevant to, members who are insured under an Eligible Policy. Exclusive members should therefore be cautious that some of the content may not be relevant to them. Exclusive members should email queries@aiavitality.com.au or call 1800 848 254 if they have any questions or are unsure about which content is relevant to them. A representative will be happy to assist.

Where a selected individual has an exclusive membership with AIA Australia and is insured under an Eligible Policy, they will only be eligible for discounts to their premium or any cash back which may be available under the AIA Vitality Program at AIA Australia’s sole and absolute discretion. In some cases, AIA Australia may require the individual to cease their exclusive membership and apply for a paying AIA Vitality membership as a life insured under a new or existing Eligible Policy, to eligible for any discounts or cash back which may ordinarily be available to other ordinary paying AIA Vitality Members.

Without in any way limiting the termination rights of AIA Australia or other termination rights contained in these terms and conditions, exclusive memberships may be terminated with immediate effect, at any time by AIA Australia in its sole and absolute discretion. Where the exclusive member is an employee of AIA Australia or any other third party that AIA Australia has an arrangement with and/or who AIA Australia has permitted to pay the member’s Annual Membership Contribution on their behalf, their membership will terminate immediately on termination of that members employment including without limitation for reasons including: dismissal; resignation; redundancy; retirement or death.

Without in any way limiting the termination rights of AIA Australia or other termination rights contained in these terms and conditions, where a selected adviser has an exclusive membership, the exclusive membership will terminate on the earliest of one of the following occurring: the adviser ceasing to distribute Eligible Retail Policies (including where the Distribution Agreement that governs the adviser’s Priority Protection distribution activities is terminated); retirement; death; or termination of the exclusive membership at AIA Australia’s sole and absolute discretion.

Other terms and conditions may apply to exclusive memberships and any rules, policies or procedures applicable to exclusive memberships may be adopted or varied by us from time to time.
