This Disclaimer supplements the Tudeyo Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, which also apply to your use of the Platform.

Article 1: Role of Tudeyo

1.1 Intermediary Status

Tudeyo operates exclusively as a destination marketing company, facilitating connections between Users and independent third-party medical service providers, including but not limited to hospitals, clinics, and licensed healthcare professionals (collectively, “Medical Providers”) in regions such as Turkey, Colombia, the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), and other operating jurisdictions. Tudeyo does not own, operate, or control any Medical Providers or their facilities, nor does it employ or directly supervise their personnel.

1.2 No Medical Services

Tudeyo does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or healthcare services.

Users acknowledge that Tudeyo’s role is limited to arranging introductions and facilitating bookings.

Article 2: User Responsibilities

Users are solely responsible for researching and verifying the legitimacy, licensing, accreditation, and reputation of Medical Providers prior to booking services. Tudeyo encourages Users to consult with qualified medical professionals and review provider credentials, certifications, and reviews before proceeding with any medical procedure.

2.2 Informed Consent

Prior to receiving medical services, Users must sign a consent form provided by the Medical Provider, acknowledging the risks, benefits, and potential outcomes of the procedure. Tudeyo is not a party to such consent agreements, and Users assume full responsibility for their decisions to proceed with medical services.

2.3 Travel and Health Insurance

Users are strongly advised to obtain comprehensive travel and health insurance that covers medical tourism, including potential complications, cancellations, or repatriation. Tudeyo shall not be responsible for any costs or losses arising from the absence of adequate insurance coverage.

  • Failure to achieve desired medical results;
  • Financial losses related to medical procedures or associated travel; or
  • Personal injury, disability, or death resulting from medical services.

All risks and liabilities associated with medical services rest solely with the User and the Medical Provider.
