Your treatment forms and prompts a contractual relationship between you and the Service Provider providing the treatment. We do not hold medical qualifications and shall not be held responsible or liable for any medical procedures provided by your chosen Service Provider. Nor shall be held responsible or liable for any care, treatment or other services you are provided with by the same, or for any malpractice claims that may arise directly or indirectly from their advice. Similarly, we shall not take any responsibility or liability for the complications and dissatisfactions arising from Service Provider’s treatments.

We strongly recommend that you read Service Provider’s terms and conditions and consent forms carefully prior to proceeding with your treatments.

The treatment plans offered by KA GROUP DANISMANLIK A.S as a result of email exchanges, telephone conversations or video consultations are purely based on the information (i.e. the pictures, test results, prescriptions, x-rays, etc) provided by you and reviewed by the Service Provider. Therefore, your treatment plan may change when the Service Provider examines you in person before your Procedure.
2.3. If such a change occurs, you have the option not to go ahead. In such circumstances, you will receive a refund after deductions for, among other things, tests and consultations.
