Version v1 · Effective 5 August 2026
Overview
These terms govern your use of the Longaevitas Health platform, a technology platform for doctor-led personalised preventative care and longevity planning. Longaevitas Health is a wellness and screening platform. It is not a hospital, clinic or emergency service, and it does not itself practise medicine. Clinical interpretation is performed by independent HPCSA-registered doctors who contract with the platform and who act under their own professional registration, judgement and indemnity. Diagnosis, treatment and prescriptions remain with your own treating GP or specialist.
By creating an account, purchasing a VitaPrint Cycle, or otherwise using the platform, you agree to these terms and to the documents they refer to: the Privacy Policy, the Medicolegal Terms, the Refunds and Cancellations Policy and, once you start a cycle, the Member Consent you sign. Each is available on this site at any time for you to read, download and store. To the maximum extent allowed by the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 and other South African law, our liability for use of the platform is limited as set out in clause 10.
1. Definitions
These words carry the following meaning wherever they appear in these terms.
- Platform means the Longaevitas Health website, member portal, member app and related services operated by Longaevitas Health (Pty) Ltd.
- We, us, our means Longaevitas Health (Pty) Ltd, the platform operator. You and member mean the individual person who holds an account.
- Measurements means the information you submit for a cycle: your health assessment answers, your body metrics and your biomarker results.
- VitaPrint means the health blueprint the platform builds from your measurements, expressed as system scores, risk stratification and your Longaevitas Age.
- VitaPrint Cycle means one paid round of the service, running through measure, analyse and plan.
- VitaPrint Analysis means the doctor-led interpretation of one cycle, delivered with your longevity plan and preventative care plan.
- Screening means structured risk stratification: measuring and interpreting your data to show where your risk sits against longevity reference ranges and to flag results that warrant attention. Screening is not diagnosis.
- Longaevitas doctor means an independent HPCSA-registered doctor contracted to the platform who performs clinical interpretation under their own registration, judgement and indemnity.
- Vita means the platform assistant that helps you navigate your VitaPrint and lets you escalate a question to a Longaevitas doctor. Vita is not a doctor and does not give medical advice.
- Your GP or specialist means your own treating clinician, outside the platform, who remains responsible for diagnosis, treatment and prescriptions.
2. Who may use the platform
You must be 18 years or older and have full legal capacity to contract to create an account, purchase a VitaPrint Cycle, redeem a gift code, or submit health information to us. The platform is built for adults and we do not offer paediatric assessment, testing or clinical review. Information about a person under 18 is special personal information under the Protection of Personal Information Act, and we do not knowingly process it. If we find that an account belongs to a person under 18, we will suspend it, stop processing, and delete the information unless the law requires us to keep it.
You may not create an account on behalf of another adult, or submit another person's biomarker results or health history as your own. Each account represents one person, and the analysis is only valid for the person whose measurements were submitted.
3. Where we fit in the healthcare system
Longaevitas Health operates in the wellness and screening lane of healthcare. Screening means structured risk stratification: we measure and interpret assessment answers, body metrics and biomarkers to show where your risk sits relative to longevity reference ranges, and to flag results that warrant attention. Screening does not mean diagnosis. A screening result is not a finding of disease, does not confirm or exclude any condition, and does not replace diagnostic testing, examination or treatment by your own GP or specialist. Where a result falls outside expected ranges, the platform directs you to your own GP or specialist for diagnosis and management.
4. Medical schemes and wellness benefits
Longaevitas Health (Pty) Ltd is not a medical scheme, a medical scheme administrator, a managed care organisation, or an accredited healthcare broker, and nothing on the platform is medical scheme business as defined in the Medical Schemes Act 131 of 1998. We do not provide, underwrite or guarantee any medical scheme cover or benefit. Where we refer to wellness, screening or preventative benefits, we mean benefits offered by your own medical scheme, gap cover or employer wellness programme under their rules. Whether a benefit applies to a VitaPrint Cycle, how much is covered, and whether a claim is paid, is decided solely by that scheme or programme. You remain responsible for the full amount payable to us if a claim is reduced, rejected or reversed. Any illustration of savings is an example only and is not advice about which scheme, plan or benefit option to choose.
5. Payment and refunds
Each VitaPrint Cycle starts with payment. You will be asked to pay for your cycle before you can complete your assessment, add your body measurements, download your lab form or upload your biomarker results. Payment can be made once-off for a single VitaPrint Cycle, or as a VitaPrint Cycles subscription that renews every two cycles.
You can request a partial refund of 80% within 14 days of purchase, as long as your doctor-led VitaPrint Analysis has not yet been delivered. The 20% we retain covers payment processing and the clinical time already reserved for your cycle. After 14 days, or once your analysis has been delivered, cycles are non-refundable. Any unused cycles remain in your account and do not expire, so you can complete them whenever you are ready.
Cooling-off right. Section 44 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 allows you to cancel an electronic transaction without reason or penalty within seven (7) days of the transaction and receive a full refund. Under section 42(2) of that Act the right falls away for services that have begun to be performed with your express agreement. Your cycle begins the moment you start your assessment, add body measurements, generate your laboratory form, or upload biomarker results, and by doing any of those things you expressly agree that performance has begun. Our own refund window continues to apply after that point.
Full detail, including duplicate payments, gift codes, cycles we cannot complete, how to claim and how long a claim takes, is set out in the Refunds and Cancellations Policy.
6. Subscription renewal and cancellation
A VitaPrint Cycles subscription renews automatically every two cycles at the rate published at the time of renewal. In terms of section 14(2)(c) of the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, we will notify you in writing not more than 80 and not less than 40 business days before each renewal date, telling you the renewal date, the amount that will be charged, any change to that amount, and how to cancel. Any discount applied to your subscription is re-quoted at the rate current on the renewal date.
You may cancel at any time without penalty. Cancellation takes effect twenty (20) business days after we receive your notice, or sooner if we can process it earlier, and stops all future renewals. Cycles you have already paid for remain in your account and do not expire. We may cancel or decline to renew on 20 business days written notice, in which case we refund any cycle you have paid for and not used, in full.
7. Clinical limits and escalation
The platform produces educational outputs and doctor-led guidance. It does not diagnose, treat or prescribe, and it is not an emergency service. If you have symptoms that need urgent attention, call your nearest emergency department or emergency services immediately rather than using the platform.
Clinical questions are raised through Ask Vita, which is the only route by which a member reaches a Longaevitas doctor. Our support team handles account, payment and technical matters and does not answer clinical questions. Where your results warrant medical attention, the platform and your Longaevitas doctor will direct you to your own GP or specialist, who remains responsible for diagnosis, treatment and prescriptions.
The full clinical boundaries, including asynchronous care, scope of practice, escalation of abnormal results and how Vita learns from member trends, are set out in the Medicolegal Terms, which form part of this agreement.
8. Data and privacy
Your measurements and analyses are health information and are treated as special personal information under the Protection of Personal Information Act. We process them to deliver your VitaPrint Analysis, longevity plan and preventative care plan, and we keep clinical records for the periods the law requires. Your rights of access, correction, objection, export and deletion, the parties we share information with, cross-border transfers, retention periods and how to complain to the Information Regulator (South Africa) are set out in the Privacy Policy and in the PAIA Manual. Consents specific to clinical communication, de-identified cohort learning and telehealth are recorded in the Member Consent you sign before your first cycle.
9. Intellectual property
The platform, the VitaPrint methodology, the scoring and risk models, Vita, and all content, software, designs and marks on the platform belong to Longaevitas Health (Pty) Ltd or its licensors. You receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the platform and to keep and share your own outputs for your own health purposes, including with your GP or specialist. You may not copy, scrape, reverse engineer, resell or use our content or models to build a competing product, and you may not use our name or marks without written permission. Your measurements remain yours; nothing in this clause gives us ownership of your health information.
10. Liability and indemnity
To the maximum extent permitted by the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 and other applicable South African law, Longaevitas Health (Pty) Ltd is not liable for loss or harm arising from reliance on educational outputs of the platform, from clinical decisions made by a Longaevitas doctor or by your own treating clinician, or from your failure to seek independent medical care where indicated. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for laboratory error or turnaround, for the acts of third-party retailers or wellness partners, or for information you gave us that was incomplete or inaccurate. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including liability for gross negligence or for death or personal injury caused by us.
You indemnify us against claims, losses and costs arising from your breach of these terms, from information you submitted that was not yours or was materially inaccurate, or from your use of the platform for a purpose it is not intended for. This clause replaces, and is the only, liability and indemnity provision in this agreement.
11. Regulation and complaints
Longaevitas doctors are registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa ("HPCSA") and are bound by the HPCSA ethical rules, including those governing telemedicine and asynchronous care. Longaevitas Health (Pty) Ltd is the platform operator and is not itself a registered healthcare practitioner.
Step 1, raise it with us. Send any complaint, clinical or otherwise, to support@longaevitashealth.com with your name, the cycle or analysis concerned, and what went wrong. We acknowledge within 5 business days.
Step 2, clinical review. Complaints involving clinical judgement, the content of a VitaPrint Analysis, a referral decision or a doctor's conduct are referred to a clinical head who was not involved in your care. You receive a written outcome within 30 business days, or an explanation of the delay and a revised date. Where a complaint suggests a possible adverse event, it is logged and reviewed through our clinical quality process.
Step 3, independent escalation. You do not have to exhaust our internal process first, and nothing here limits your rights. You may lodge a complaint about a practitioner directly with the HPCSA (Legal and Regulatory Affairs, PO Box 205, Pretoria 0001, legalmed@hpcsa.co.za, www.hpcsa.co.za). Complaints about privacy or personal information may go to the Information Regulator (South Africa) as set out in our Privacy Policy. Complaints about the commercial transaction may go to the National Consumer Commission or the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud.
We do not penalise, suspend or refuse service to a member because they have lodged a complaint.
