If you make an appointment through the Site, you acknowledge and agree that you are entering into a direct relationship with the Medical Provider, and that Medical Departures does not provide, and has no responsibility or liability of any kind for, the services provided by the Medical Provider (the "Medical Services") or the actions or inaction of such Medical Provider. Although we endeavor to locate reputable and qualified Medical Providers, you further acknowledge and agree that Medical Departures does not recommend, endorse or make any representations or warranties regarding the Medical Providers or Medical Services and has no responsibility, liability or obligation of any kind for the accuracy, completeness or other aspects of the information provided by such Medical Providers, whether on the Site or otherwise, or for the relationship between you and the Medical Provider you select. All payments for Medical Services will be charged directly by the Medical Provider, either using the credit card number you provide when you make your reservation or such other payment method that you agree upon with the Medical Provider. If you do not show up for an appointment and do not cancel within the time period stated on the Site, then your credit card may be charged a no-show fee by the Medical Provider. In no event are any payments made to Medical Departures for any Medical Services, and you agree to look solely to the Medical Provider to respond to and resolve any service, billing or other issues that may arise in connection with such Medical Provider.
You further acknowledge that the nature of the Medical Services that you may require can only be determined by the Medical Provider after an in-person examination, and any list of services or requests for services made through the Site, and any quotes for the fees charged for such Medical Services, are merely quotations and estimates and may not reflect the actual services provided or amounts charged. You should always request an estimate directly from the Medical Provider prior to having the Medical Provider commencing any work. It is solely up to you to determine whether any Medical insurance plan you have will apply to the Medical Services and what requirements there may be to utilize such insurance in connection with the Medical Services.
