The information and services provided on this website are conditioned upon your acceptance, without modification and your use of the https://www.welfareabroad.com/ website constitutes agreement with such terms. Welfare Abroad reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove temporarily or permanently of these terms and conditions. Welfare Abroad shall not be liable to any user or third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuance.
PAYMENT

a) Treatment.
b) Accommodation.
c) Airport transfers.
d) Host.
e) Any pre-operative tests you are required to take.
1.2. You will incur additional charges for any tests considered necessary because of a pre-existing condition or your exposure or vulnerability to any condition.
1.3. Once you have accepted these Terms and Conditions, you will be required to pay a deposit. You may pay your deposit via PayPal (credit or debit card).
1.4. If the deposit is not paid before you depart from your home country, you will be in breach of this Agreement and Welfare Abroad will not be obligated to deliver any services to you.
1.5. The remainder of your balance, which is the package price minus the deposit, must be paid in cash to the Service Providers at time of checking in to their facilities. If you choose to pay us the full package price prior to your treatment, this rare case of us obtaining the full payment does not hold us liable for the services provided by the Service Provider.
YOUR TREATMENT
2.1. LIMITATION of LIABILITY: Welfare Abroad does not provide medical advice nor does operate or control any Service Provider facility or service rendered by them. 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 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 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. Our role is solely to facilitate a consultation and/or dialogue between you and the Service Provider. We strongly recommend that you read Service Provider’s terms and conditions and consent forms carefully prior to proceeding with your treatments.
2.2. The treatment plans offered by Welfare Abroad 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. 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 remaining balance to the Service Provider will be adjusted, based on the initial deposit paid. The number of days that you would need to stay in Turkey will be factored in. If the treatment plan changes, the duration of stay may also change. Welfare Abroad 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 Welfare Abroad 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 attack or critic Welfare Abroad or any of its employee, associate or partner publicly (social media networks, blogs, public forums etc.) in regards to Service Providers’ treatments and actions. As Welfare Abroad cannot be held responsible for the services, medical treatments and procedures provided by the Service Provider, you agree not to take any action that may negatively affect Welfare Abroad, its reputation, services or management at any time during or subsequent to contract period.
In case of breach of this clause, you agree to remove and take down the content immediately upon our assessment. If content remains, in part or in whole, you agree to pay £5,000 to Welfare Abroad as damages.
