Participation in LEO Medical Surveys and Survey Validation

Surveys 

Your participation is entirely voluntary, and you are not required to participate in every survey we conduct. 

LEO Medical appreciates your time. We only want you to complete the surveys that truly interest you, and we respect the time you spend on our surveys. Without prejudice to the Terms set forth herein, our surveys allow you to earn redeemable rewards which will be determined and communicated to you prior to beginning each survey.  

LEO Medical uses an industry standard model to calculate the rewards offered for completing its surveys. Rewards depends on several factors, including the time required to complete the survey, the number and nature of questions you must answer within the scope of the survey, and the unique characteristics that members are required to have to be eligible to take part in the survey.  

 

Qualification, Survey Validation & Honoraria 

LEO Medical is committed to maintaining the highest data quality and integrity standards. To ensure the relevance and accuracy of survey responses, participants undergo a thorough qualification process for each study. Eligibility criteria may vary depending on the specific nature of the survey, encompassing factors such as medical specialty, years of experience, geographic location, and other pertinent qualifications. This meticulous screening process is designed to assemble a diverse and knowledgeable panel, ultimately enhancing the value of insights derived from our surveys. Only those members who meet the specific criteria for each survey will be invited to participate, ensuring that the data collected is representative, reliable, and aligns with the unique requirements of the study. LEO Medical acknowledges and appreciates delivering meaningful and accurate findings in the field of healthcare research. Participants who successfully complete the survey and have gone through the survey validation process will be duly compensated with honoraria as a token of our appreciation for their time and expertise. 

Redeemable rewards shall be contingent upon the successful completion and validation of the survey. Survey validation (the “Validation”) encompasses a comprehensive series of assessments aimed at verifying authenticity and honesty of participating members. This Validation process includes but is not limited to confirming the identity of participants, ensuring the veracity of their survey responses, and conducting quality checks to ascertain the accuracy and reliability of the survey data. Quality checks encompass various factors, including but not limited to, evaluating the time taken by participants to complete the survey, identifying and addressing instances of straightlining, and assessing the results of open-ended questions to verify the quality and relevance of the responses. 

The determination of the eligibility for redeemable rewards shall be at the sole discretion of LEO Medical, based on the outcome of the Validation. Rewards will be issued to members whose survey responses pass LEO Medical’s validation criteria.  

LEO Medical reserves the right to suspend, cancel, re-evaluate or modify, without liability and without prior notice to members, all or part of the reward value structure and its offers from any member who fails to meet the specified validation criteria or who engages in fraudulent or deceptive conduct during the survey process.  LEO Medical reserves the right to change the reward value structure or other incentives when recruiting for a survey.  

Upon survey completion, members will be prompted to select their preferred payment method from the available options, including but not limited to e-transfer, cheque, or charitable donation. It is essential for members to ensure that the chosen payment method is both accurate and suitable for receiving their rewards.  

LEO Medical aims to complete the Validation of a member’s completed survey within thirty (30) business days of the member’s completion of a survey. Upon successful Validation, redeemable rewards shall be credited to the member’s chosen payment method. We strive to complete this process in a timely manner, but unforeseen circumstances may occasionally lead to slight delays. Members shall not be entitled to compensation for any such delays. 

It is important to note that the member’s chosen payment method must be compatible with the designated reward type. The member shall be solely responsible for any associated fees or charges that may be incurred during the reward crediting process, depending on their selected payment method. 

The members shall promptly notify us of any changes in their payment method or contact information to ensure the efficient processing of rewards. Any discrepancies or concerns regarding reward distribution should be reported to LEO Medical within a reasonable time frame for resolution. However, members are responsible for ensuring that rewards have been paid. LEO Medical shall not be held liable for any errors or omissions relative to rewards. 

 

E-Transfer 

An Interac E-Transfer email or phone number is required. Following successful Validation, payment may take up to ten (10) business days to be fully processed. For security reasons and to avoid fraud, we ask members to use the same email address for their LEO Medical account as for their e-transfer account. LEO Medical shall not be held liable for any delays or other problems if this condition is not met. To change their email address used on LEO Medical to that of their e-transfer account, members can submit a Contact Us form.  

For all payments made through Interac e-transfer, a mandatory security question and answer will be implemented as an additional security measure. At the end of each survey, members will be provided with a unique security question and their corresponding answer. Members are required to make a note of the security question and answer for the purpose of processing their e-transfer payment. Members are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the security question and answer, as well as for preventing any unauthorized access or disclosure of this information.  

All transactions are final; a waiting period of thirty (30) business days is required to obtain more information concerning the payment. In the event that an e-transfer payment is rejected, or unable to be processed for any reason, the member shall be promptly notified of the payment failure. The rejection of the e-transfer payment may occur due to various factors, including but not limited to, incorrect payment information provided by the member, issues with the banking institution, or other unforeseen circumstances. 

Upon notification of a rejected e-transfer payment, the member shall be required to reverify their payment information and take appropriate corrective action to facilitate the payment process again. This reverification process may include confirming the accuracy of member’s bank account or e-transfer details, providing any additional documentation or information as requested by LEO Medical, and complying with any relevant legal or regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in the forfeiture of the payment, as deemed appropriate by LEO Medical. 

The member acknowledges and agrees that LEO Medical’s decision to reverify and process the payment again, or to withhold payment in the event of non-compliance, is at the sole discretion of LEO Medical and shall be considered final. 

 

Cheque 

Only surveys with a redeemable amount of $100 or more qualify for payment by cheque. Upon submitting the survey end payment form, the cheque option will not be available if the total value of the completed survey does not reach at least $100. Requests for cheque payments below this minimum will not be processed.

For those admissible cheue payments, an address is required. Following successful Validation, payment may take up to fifteen (15) business days to be fully processed. For security reasons and to avoid fraud, we ask members to update their mailing address in their LEO Medical account. LEO Medical shall not be held liable for any delays or other problems if this condition is not met. To change their mailing address used on LEO Medical, members can submit a Contact Us form. 

All transactions are final; a waiting period of thirty (30) business days is required to obtain more information concerning the payment. In the event that a payment by cheque is rejected or otherwise returned to LEO Medical, the member shall be promptly notified of the payment failure. Such rejection may occur for various reasons, including but not limited to discrepancies in the provided payment information, issues with the member’s bank, or other unforeseen circumstances. 

Upon notification of a rejected cheque payment, the member shall be required to reverify their payment information and take appropriate corrective actions to facilitate the payment process again. The reverification process may encompass confirming the accuracy of the provided payment details, supplying any additional documentation or information as requested by LEO Medical and adhering to any pertinent legal or regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in the forfeiture of the payment, as deemed appropriate by LEO Medical. 

Furthermore, in the event that a bank refuses to accept the cheque payment for any reason, the member shall be obligated to submit a Contact Us form to allow for an evaluation of the underlying issue. 

The member acknowledges and agrees that LEO Medical’s decision to reverify and process the payment again, or to withhold payment in the event of non-compliance, is at the sole discretion of LEO Medical and shall be considered final. 

 

Donation 

LEO Medical provides members with the option to donate their rewards to designated charitable organizations. These charitable organizations are pre-selected and maintained by LEO Medical. Participants may select from the list of available organizations provided by LEO Medical. 

Members who wish to make a donation must clearly indicate their chosen organization from the list provided at the end of the survey. The total amount earned for the survey will be the total amount donated. Members will receive confirmation of their donation, which may include information on the selected organization and the amount donated. It is the member’s responsibility to review this confirmation and contact LEO Medical in the event of any discrepancies or concerns. 

LEO Medical will disburse donated funds to the selected organizations on a quarterly schedule determined by LEO Medical, which timing may vary and is at the sole discretion of LEO Medical. All donations are final; a waiting period of thirty (30) business days is required to obtain more information concerning the payment. 

LEO Medical does not allow for the reversal or refund of donations once they have been confirmed. Participants should exercise diligence in their choice of donation recipients.  

LEO Medical bears no responsibility for the actions, use of funds, or activities of the selected charitable organizations. The responsibility for the appropriateness and impact of the donation lies with the chosen organization. Members are to contact the chosen organization directly for any donation receipt requests. 

 

Tax 

You are responsible to declare any taxes, if due, to your local financial authorities as a result of honoraria or incentives that you receive. LEO Medical will not be liable for any taxes or for providing any assistance on tax matters. Members are encouraged to consult with a tax professional or the appropriate tax authority regarding the tax implications of their donations. 

 

Account Inactivity & Expiration of Honoraria

LEO Medical recognizes the dynamic nature of healthcare professionals' schedules. However, to maintain the integrity of our healthcare panel and ensure the timeliness and relevance of survey responses, members are encouraged to participate actively. In the event of prolonged account inactivity, defined as a period of one (1) year without survey participation, LEO Medical reserves the right to suspend or deactivate the member’s account temporarily. We understand that circumstances may arise that limit participation, and members are encouraged to communicate any challenges they may be facing. Reactivation of accounts following suspension can be facilitated upon request, demonstrating our commitment to flexibility while balancing the need for an engaged and responsive panel. 

Participants are responsible for claiming their honoraria within a reasonable timeframe. Any unclaimed rewards in a member’s account for a period of one (1) year from the date of issuance will be forfeited. If you unsubscribe from LEO Medical, or if your membership is terminated, your account will be closed. At that time all unredeemed rewards will be forfeited. Please also note that depending on the payment method you have selected, there is an expiration date associated with each. 

E-Transfer: An expiration date will be provided to the member by Interac, whether it is delivered via email or text message. Interac e-transfers expire thirty (30) days after they are sent. After 30 days, the recipient will not be able to deposit the funds. It is the member’s responsibility to adhere to the specified expiration date. 

Cheque: Banking institutions consider cheques stale-date after six months. 

If the expiration date for a payment method has passed, please submit a Contact Us form in order to re-issue payment.
