Terms of Service
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Acules ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Platform. These Terms apply to all visitors, registered users, and others who access or use Acules.
2. Description of Service
Acules is a medical tourism comparison and referral platform. We help users discover, compare, and connect with hospitals and healthcare providers across multiple countries.
Acules is not a healthcare provider. We do not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment. We do not employ physicians or medical staff. Our service is limited to providing information, cost comparisons, and facilitating introductions between patients and healthcare facilities.
Cost estimates shown on the Platform are approximate figures based on publicly available data and hospital-reported information. Actual treatment costs will be determined by the healthcare provider and may vary based on your specific medical needs.
3. User Accounts
To access certain features of the Platform, you must create an account. You agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
- Maintain the security of your password and account credentials
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account
- Be at least 18 years of age to create an account
- Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or are used in a fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful manner.
4. Medical Disclaimer
The information provided on Acules is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. You should always consult a qualified, licensed healthcare professional before making any medical decisions or travelling abroad for treatment.
Please review our full Medical Disclaimer before using the Platform.
5. Accuracy of Information
We strive to maintain accurate and up-to-date information about hospitals, treatments, and costs. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information on the Platform. Hospital accreditations, pricing, availability, and services are subject to change without notice.
Acules does not independently verify every piece of information provided by hospital partners. You are responsible for independently verifying any information before making medical or travel decisions.
6. User Responsibilities
By using the Platform, you agree that you will not:
- Provide false or misleading information in any form or consultation request

7. Consultation Requests
When you submit a free consultation request, you authorize Acules to share your provided details (name, contact information, and medical inquiry) with our patient coordination team and relevant hospital partners for the purpose of arranging your consultation.
A consultation facilitated through Acules does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and Acules. Any subsequent relationship is between you and the healthcare provider directly.
8. Intellectual Property
All content on the Platform, including text, graphics, logos, the Acules name and brand, software, and the compilation thereof, is the property of Acules or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

9. Third-Party Links and Partners
The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, including hospital and clinic websites, booking platforms, and travel services. These links are provided for convenience only. Acules has no control over the content or practices of third-party sites and accepts no responsibility for them.
Your dealings with third-party healthcare providers, airlines, hotels, or any other third parties are solely between you and those parties.

12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the jurisdiction in which Acules is registered, unless otherwise required by applicable consumer protection laws in your country.
