3. Nature of the Platform
The Platform is an "intermediary" within the meaning of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and merely provides a technology venue to discover Providers and to book appointments and generate digital tokens. We are a facilitator only.
We do not: (a) provide medical, diagnostic, or treatment services; (b) recommend or endorse any particular Doctor or Chamber; (c) verify the outcome, quality, or appropriateness of any consultation or treatment; or (d) act as an agent of any Patient or Provider. The doctor–patient relationship is solely between the Patient and the Provider. We are not a party to it and bear no responsibility for it.
Listings, availability, fees, timings, qualifications and other information are supplied by Providers. While we take reasonable steps to verify Providers, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or currency of such information.
4. Eligibility & Accounts
You must be at least 18 years old (or accessing on behalf of a minor as their parent/legal guardian) and legally capable of entering into a binding contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information and to keep it updated.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorised use. We may refuse, suspend, or terminate accounts at our discretion.
5. Party-Specific Terms
The following terms apply to you based on how you use the Platform. General Terms in the rest of this document apply to all Users.
Terms for Patients
- You may use the Platform to search Providers and book appointments for yourself or those you are authorised to represent.
- Information you provide (name, age, contact, symptoms, etc.) must be accurate. Booking with false information may lead to refusal of service.
- A booking generates a token/slip; it confirms a scheduled slot only. It is not a guarantee of exact timing, availability, or any medical outcome.
- The Booking Fee paid online is a platform/convenience charge. The Consultation Fee is payable directly to the Chamber.
- You are responsible for arriving on time, carrying valid ID and relevant medical records, and complying with the Chamber's rules.
- Any medical concern, advice, prescription or treatment is between you and the Provider. We are not responsible for it.
6. Bookings, Tokens & Appointments
A confirmed booking reserves a slot subject to the Provider's schedule. Estimated times are indicative and may change due to emergencies, delays or operational reasons. Providers may reschedule or decline appointments. We are not liable for delays, changes, or the Provider's failure to honour a booking, though we will make reasonable efforts to assist.
7. Fees, Charges & Payments
The Platform may charge a Booking Fee/Platform Charge for facilitating an online booking. This is displayed before you confirm and is distinct from the Consultation Fee. Online payments are processed by third-party payment gateways; we do not store full card details. Consultation Fees are collected by the Provider at the chamber. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.
8. Cancellations, No-shows & Refunds
Patients may cancel eligible appointments through the Platform where permitted. Booking Fees/Platform Charges are generally non-refundable as they cover the cost of facilitating the booking, except where required by law or expressly stated in a published refund policy. Refunds of Consultation Fees, where applicable, are handled by the Provider. Repeated no-shows or misuse may result in restrictions on your account.
9. Medical Disclaimer
Content on the Platform (including specialties, profiles and general information) is for informational and scheduling purposes only and is not medical advice. It is not a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of anything on the Platform. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately. We disclaim all responsibility for the medical care provided by Providers.
10. User Conduct & Prohibited Use
You agree not to: (a) provide false or misleading information; (b) impersonate any person or entity; (c) misuse, disrupt, reverse-engineer, scrape, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Platform or its systems; (d) upload unlawful, defamatory, obscene, infringing or harmful content; (e) use the Platform for spam, fraud, or any unlawful purpose; or (f) violate any applicable law or the rights of others. We may investigate and take action, including reporting to authorities.

In all cases, our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the Platform shall not exceed the total Platform Charges/Booking Fees actually paid by you to the Company in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or ₹1,000, whichever is lower. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in such cases, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, officers, directors and employees from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) your breach of these Terms or any law; (c) your infringement of any third-party right; or (d) for Providers, the services you provide and any dispute with a Patient.
16. Suspension & Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for any breach of these Terms, suspected fraud or misuse, legal requirement, or to protect the Platform or its Users. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, IP and governing law) shall survive.
17. Force Majeure
We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics/pandemics, power or internet failures, government actions, strikes, or third-party service failures.
