Terms & Conditions of eHealth MediDate GmbH
MediDateTerms and Conditions of Use (I.) and Privacy Policy (II.) (as of December, 2015)
§ I. Terms of Use
MediDate, the trading name of eHealth MediDate Ltd. registered in the UK, Address: 2nd Floor, 1-2 Broadgate, London EC2M 2QS, Company no. 159029, “MediDate”, also referenced by “We”, “Our” and “Us” provides this Website (https://www.medidate.co.uk) (“Website”) to you, the user of this Website (“User”), subject to these terms and conditions of use. Please read these terms and conditions before using our Website.
This agreement applies as between you, and MediDate, the owner of this Website. The agreement to comply with and be bound by these terms and conditions is deemed to occur upon the user´s first use of this Website. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms and conditions, you should immediately stop using this Website.
MediDate explicitly points out that we neither conduct our own medical practitioner’s office / clinic, nor do we carry out medical treatments related to refractive-operative procedures and plastic surgery or other medical treatments on our own behalf. A treatment contract between a user and a hospital, clinic or medical practitioner (also referenced by “Partner”) is therefore only concluded if a user accepts the offered treatment and attaches further steps of a Partner. The content of this treatment contract is solely determined by the user and the Partner. If you have any questions about these terms and conditions, please contact us by email at support@medidate.co.uk
§ 1 Scope of business
MediDate is an Internet based platform that allows users to explore treatment options for eye operations in the UK and abroad and get an appointment for a preliminary examination from a Partner.
For this purpose, MediDate passes on requests from users for correcting optical ametropia with refractive surgical procedures (LASIK), and any other plastic surgery procedures to Partners.
By request of the user, a contract for an appointment for preliminary medical examination at the Partner’s medical institution is concluded between MediDate and the aforementioned user. We do not offer any medical services or procedures on our own, nor any services or health care in context of the Partner’s treatment. The medical and real responsibility on feasibility of the operation, the elucidation of the user and the information about alternative treatments are sole responsibility of the Partner.
A treatment contract between a user and a Partner is thereby concluded only when the user accepts an offer of a Partner for the treatment; nonetheless a mandatory duty of the Partner to treat the user is not given.
MediDate has no influence on the content and feasibility of such treatment contract or on the occurrence / non-occurrence of any contractual relationship between the user and the Partner; a treatment contract and mutual claims arise exclusively and solely between the user and the Partner.
The medical examination appointments arranged via MediDate, are carried out for the user without actual and / or economic obligation; no fees are charged.
For those users, who have not yet completed the 18th year of age by the intended date of treatment, the consent of the legal representative is required and has to be presented in an appropriate manner towards the Partner at the latest by the date of the preliminary medical examination.
All information on this Website is intended as a guide and should not be used as a basis for diagnosis, choice of treatment or choice of a Partner. It is intended that this information should enable users to conduct their own research into the Partners and their services. MediDate does not endorse, recommend, or approve any Partner listed on this Website.
§ 2 Recommendation and Prices
All information communicated to the user and/or published on this Website do not prompt to select a specific Partner and/or his services. MediDate strives to give professional advice to users through the Partners, but does not take responsibility for this in any way. In particular, no liability for the accuracy of the prices of the treatment offered by the Partners is taken. MediDate and the Partner have agreed upon the price of the service. However, we cannot guarantee the veracity of the declared prices. It is therefore the sole responsibility of the user to inform the Partner that the recommendation was granted via MediDate in order to fix the appropriate advantageous price for an operation with the Partner.
Meanwhile, the listed price does not guarantee a compulsory fixed price for the services of a Partner, but rather serves for better orientation to choose a Partner. The final price will be calculated and billed by the Partner, after a thorough preliminary medical examination and is based on individual, factual and medical criteria. There is no guarantee from MediDate for the correctness of the quoted prices even if medical indications exist (e.g. extreme ametropia, pre-existing conditions), which require a different method of treatment or the user wishes to change the procedure (differing formerly described treatment in the offer) or if the user wants another preferred date or expresses other additional or special requests.
The designated prices in the offer do not represent a binding offer of the Partner and/or MediDate. The final price of the operation is therefore binding with completion and signing of a treatment contract between the user and the Partner.
§ 3 Referrals
The user has the opportunity to evaluate the performance of MediDate and the Partners’ service to the best of his/her knowledge and belief. The assessment will be on the reliability and quality of the Partner’s performance and the subjective satisfaction with the services in particular. MediDate is entitled but not obliged to publish relevant reviews on our Website for all users or other users of the bid. MediDate reserves the right to remove ratings due to objectively comprehensively and legally compelling reasons.
The user agrees to refrain from any abusive behavior in connection with the delivery of a review. Aforementioned abusive behavior includes especially the delivery of insulting, discriminatory or evidently false reviews. In case of a culpable violation of this obligation by the user, the user indemnifies us from all third party claims on first demand and compensates any possible further costs and damages, but especially exonerates MediDate from the costs of an appropriate legal defense.
