These Terms and Conditions govern your relationship with MacHealers.com ("MacHealers"). They apply to all our Treatment Plans. By accepting them, you are legally bound by them. So please read them carefully.
By using our branded websites, social media channels, and our services, you confirm that you accept these Terms and Conditions and agree to comply with them. These Terms and Conditions are a contract between you and MacHealers, which commences upon your acceptance of them. Please read these terms carefully. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, you must not use our websites or our services. We recommend that you print a copy of these Terms and Conditions for future reference.
1.1: Depending on your choice of services, your Treatment Plan price will include the costs of one or more of the following:
1.2: You will incur additional charges for any pre-operative tests considered necessary because of a pre-existing condition or your exposure or vulnerability to any condition. If your medical procedure is canceled due to unfavorable test results indicating any potential contraindication to your procedure, you will get a refund after deducting the actual expenses incurred and disbursements made; however, your deposit and consultation fee will be retained. Given that such an instance is beyond our control, MacHealers will not be responsible for any losses or expenses you suffer (e.g., travel, accommodation, transfers, any out-of-pocket expenses such as meals, etc.).
1.3: Once you have accepted the price quote provided to you with a link to these Terms and Conditions, you will be required to pay a deposit to us. You may pay your deposit via credit card, debit card, or bank transfer. Your deposit, only a small percentage of the total price, is non-refundable.
1.4: The remainder of your balance, which is the total price minus the deposit, must be paid prior to your departure from your home country. Obtaining the full payment does not hold us liable for the services provided by the Service Provider.
1.5: If the full price is not paid before you depart from your home country, you will be in breach of this Agreement, and MacHealers will not be obligated to deliver any services to you.
1.6: Your treatment plan may include staying at the hospital. In cases where you stay more than one night, additional nights will be charged to you at the current rates of the hospital.
2.1 LIMITATION of LIABILITY: MacHealers does not provide medical advice nor does it operate or control any Service Provider facility or service rendered by them. We do not treat patients or give them medical recommendations. We do not recommend any specific tests, diagnostic practice, or products or procedures for medical symptoms or treatment. Your treatment forms and prompts a contractual relationship between you and the Service Provider providing the treatment. We will not be a party to your contractual relationship with the Service Provider. We do not hold medical qualifications and shall not be held responsible or liable for any medical procedures provided through 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, negligence, or any other claims that may arise directly or indirectly from their advice or service. Similarly, we shall not take any responsibility or liability for the complications and dissatisfactions arising from Service Provider’s treatments. Our role is solely to facilitate a consultation and/or dialogue between you and your Service Provider. We strongly recommend that you read Service Provider’s terms and conditions and consent forms carefully before proceeding with your treatments.
2.2: The treatment plans offered by MacHealers as a result of remote online medical assessment, 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 at the destination before your Procedure.
2.3: If such a change occurs, you have the option not to go ahead with the proposed treatment. In such circumstances, you will receive a refund after deductions for, among other things, tests and consultations. Please be advised that we are not responsible for refunding your accommodation, travel, and transfer costs as those arrangements are made through third-party providers, which are not in our control nor operated by us.
2.4: If you want to proceed with the new treatment plan, then you will receive a revised price quotation, and the balance to the Service Provider will be adjusted, based on the initial payments made. The number of days that you would need to stay in the destination will be factored in. If the treatment plan changes, the duration of stay may also change. MacHealers takes no responsibility for this and cannot be held liable for the non-arrangement or disorganization of extra days stayed or extra cost of stay.
2.5 By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you agree not to hold MacHealers responsible for medical negligence or malpractice by your chosen Service Provider.
2.6 Non-Disparagement: By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you agree not to publicly attack, disparage, or criticize MacHealers or any of its directors, officers, employees, associates, or partners (including but not limited to social media, blogs, public forums, etc.) in regards to Service Provider’s treatments and actions. As MacHealers cannot be held responsible for the services, medical treatments, and procedures provided by the Service Provider, you agree not to bring a bad name to our company or any of its employees or take action that negatively affects MacHealers, its reputation, goodwill, services, or management at any time during or subsequent to the contract period.
In case of a breach of this clause, you agree to remove and take down the content immediately upon our request. All our rights are reserved if you do not remove the damaging content as requested by us. If content remains, in part or in whole, you agree to pay £5,000 to MacHealers as damages.

By accepting this agreement, you agree that the use of third-party providers is without warranties of any kind by us. Under no circumstances are we liable for any damages arising from the transactions between you and third-party healthcare, accommodation, travel, or transfer providers. We advise you to obtain and read all of the third-party provider’s terms and conditions before acquiring booking from us.
3.4: If we have to cancel or change your booking, we will contact you.

4.6: You are solely responsible for any fines or costs (including the costs of an immediate return flight) you accrue because of your failure to travel with the required passport, visa, or other documentation.

4.9: It is a condition of your purchasing a Treatment Plan from us that you take out insurance with an approved insurer. This is required to indemnify you for any losses suffered because of insolvency, travel problems, or medical issues. Your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions constitutes acceptance of this obligation.
5.1: Before your journey begins, we must submit details of your medical history to your chosen Service Provider at the destination. This is partly to ensure your suitability for the planned procedure. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you agree to share the details of your medical history, including your pictures, test results, prescriptions, x-rays, with your Service Provider. We are not liable if the medical history form has not been completed thoroughly or honestly or if any information is withheld.
5.2: By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you permit us to obtain your patient file (including your treatment plan, examination and treatment results along with before and after pictures) from the Service Provider for our records. We assure you that we will not sell or otherwise transfer your personal information to any party for any purpose other than to provide the services you request.
6.1: You may, at any time, cancel your booking by notifying us in writing. The cancellation will take effect from the day on which we receive written notification of your cancellation. The scale of charges payable will depend upon when the notification of cancellation is received. However, the cancellation charge will always be limited to actual expenses incurred and disbursements made, reserving the provision of the article 3.4. In the event of a cancellation, your deposit will be kept as a reservation fee.
7.1: We will hold your details, including your medical records, in the strictest of confidence. We will not disclose your data, records, or information without your consent and will only share it with those concerned with your treatment.
