    So will be interesting to see if they do remove it.
    I wouldn't hold your breath on that one! I think you were lucky to get a reply at all.
    i think they probably work on the basis that few people read the fine print (or even the not so fine print!)

    What can you expect from a company that spends zillions changing their name to one that has absolutely no meaning at all - to anyone!

    Well spotted though .......

    BUPA is a British company that has existed for a long time (1947). They were formed with the joining of 17 smaller health funds into one. They came to notice into Australia when they purchased MBF. They already owned two smaller health insurance companies here. BUPA stands for British United Provident Association. They are a massive multi-national company.. one you think could pay people to be able to use "using their name, likeness, image and/or voice (including photograph, film and/or recording of the same) in any digital, social or traditional media" and more.

    Well now that IS interesting! I went into BUPA shop a long while back when I was lodging a claim, and I asked them why the stupid name change. They told me that there wasn't any meaning behind the name - it was just thought up by an ad agency.
    Just goes to show you that not even the staff have a clue.

    Thanks for that ..... mind you, I still think it's a stupid name.
