Conditions may be imposed by the Administrator on the sharing of Medical Expenses in such circumstances.
13.2. If any of the Lyndung Community members suffer an injury and a Primary Responsible Party refuses to pay unless legal remedies are pursued, the members must pursue his/her legal remedies.

The Administrator is responsible to formulate and enforce the Programme Guideline according to the Applicable Law including Shariah Law. By becoming a member of the Program, a member agrees to adhere to the Programme Guideline. The Programme Guideline as of current at the time of service shall govern the Programme, not the Programme Guideline as it was when the member signed up for the Programme. The Programme Guideline is final and will overrule any verbal statement made by employees or representatives of the Administrator. The Administrator shall notify members against the amendment made in the Programme Guideline and members may indicate their acceptance of the amendment.
14.2. Amending the Programme Guideline
The Programme Guideline may be amended from time to time as circumstances require and as determined to be appropriate by the Administrator. The Administrator has the obligation to ensure the amendment made to the Programme Guideline shall abide by the Shariah Principle at all times. The Administrator has the option, at its full discretion, of first taking an advisory vote among, or feedback and recommendations from members prior to making such amendments. Amendments to the Programme Guideline will go into effect as soon as is administratively practical or as otherwise designated by the Administrator (“Effective Date”) and such amended Programme Guideline shall supersede all previous editions of the Programme Guideline and any other communication, written or verbal.
For the avoidance of doubt, medical expenses submitted to the Administrator for sharing after the Effective Date will be subject to the new amendments of the Programme Guideline, regardless of when the Medical expenses are incurred.
The latest Programme Guideline can be accessed via the link in the Lyndung Portal and website. It is the Administrator's responsibility to notify members against the amendment made in the Programme Guideline.
14.3. Dispute Resolutions and Appeal
The Programme is a community-based effort where its members voluntarily come together to support, care, and assist each other in a mutually beneficial way. Such a shared responsible Programme may not be successfully implemented without its members' understanding and adhering strictly to the Programme Guideline. As such, it is important that in the event any question, issue, complaint, claim, dispute, or disagreement arising out of, or related to, this Lyndung Community Programme or the Programme Guideline (particularly on the interpretation of any provision of the Programme Guideline) (“Dispute”) occurs, a methodology for determining and addressing the Dispute must be made available. By agreeing to participate in the Programme, a member agrees that any Dispute he/she may have with or against one another, the Programme, the Administrators and/or its directors, employees, representatives, and associates, will be settled using the following procedures, and only as a course of last resort.
14.4. Determining the Dispute
Any Dispute shall be referred to the Administrator for determination. Lyndung Community members may contact the Administrator’s service representatives. However, the oral opinions offered by the service representatives do not constitute binding decisions of the Administrator. Formal inquiries by the Lyndung Community members shall be in writing explaining circumstances and specifically seeking a binding decision from the Administrator (“Decision”). The Administrator shall reply in writing to the Decision and will explicitly indicate if it is a decision that will bind the Administrator and the Programme.
14.5. Review by Appeal Committee
If a Lyndung Community member is not satisfied with the Decision (“the Appellant”) and has logical reasons to believe that the Decision is incorrectly made, the appellant may file an appeal for review and reconsideration to the Programme’s appeal committee (“Appeal Committee”). The appeal for a review must be made within 30 days from the day the Decision was made and must be in writing, stating the elements of the Dispute and all the relevant facts.
If required, the Internal Appeal Committee may call for a meeting with the Appellant to discuss and/or require the Appellant to furnish further documents or commence further investigation.
Within 30 days from the appeal or such other longer time as shall be required, the Appeal Committee will deliberate on the Dispute and initial Decision and render a written decision to the Participant. The Appeal Committee’s decision is final and binding on both the Administrator and the Appellant.
The Administrator reserves the right to impose an appeal fee payable by the Appellant.
14.6. Decision made by the Appeal Committee is Final and Binding
In the interest of the Programme, Members agree that the above methods of resolving Dispute shall be the sole remedy for any Dispute and expressly waive his right to file a lawsuit in any civil court against one another, the Administrator and/or its directors, employees, associates or representatives, for such Dispute.
14.7. Applicable Law
For all matters of procedure and substance regarding any Dispute that comes within these above requirements, the laws of Malaysia and laws of Shariah shall govern.
15.1.Nearly all medical expenses can be determined to be eligible for sharing as provided in this Programme Guideline and the Lyndung Members’ Manual. However, in matters where this Programme Guideline or the Members’ Manual may not provide absolute clarity, the Administrator has the absolute discretion to determine whether the medical expenses should be shared according to the procedure and precedent the Administrator deems fit.
If the Members believe the Administrator is misinterpreting this Programme Guideline or his/her circumstances, the aggrieved member may seek reconsideration through the appeal procedure outlined above. Regardless of the appeal’s outcome, the existence of this appeal procedure should not be interpreted as creating any expectation of sharing or a legally enforceable right since there are no contractual rights of sharing under this Programme Guideline. Rather, the procedure is an alternate method by which the Members can be sure that the Administrator is reconsidering the sharing of the medical expenses according to this Programme Guideline.
Referral Incentive and Rewards for Member
RM10.00 incentive will be granted to each successful referral to encourage the Members to help promote the Programme to others. The Members can transfer their incentive at any amount to their Pocket at any time. The incentive can also be withdrawn to a bank account with a minimum withdrawal value of RM100.00.
