Terms of Use, Disclaimer & Privacy Policy
Please read these Terms of Use (“terms”, “terms of use”) carefully before using this website, mobile application, or any associated online or mobile-enabled technology, digital tools, or social media/web platforms (collectively, the “Online Services”) operated by or on behalf of Vezdoc (“Vezdoc”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), accessible via our website and mobile applications, including all associated Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube, LinkedIn, and other social media pages (collectively, the “Platform”).
By accessing, browsing, or using the Platform in any manner, including but not limited to searching for dentists, viewing dentist profiles, or booking an appointment, you (“you”, “user”, “patient”) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms, our Privacy Policy, and any additional guidelines or rules referenced herein. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must immediately discontinue use of the Platform.
1 Nature of Vezdoc's Services
Vezdoc is an online platform that lists qualified dentists, oral health specialists, dental clinics, and related healthcare providers (collectively, “Dentists” or “Providers”), including their names, qualifications, registration details, specialities, clinic locations, and consultation availability, for the convenience of patients seeking dental care.
Through the Platform, patients may search for Dentists near their location, view their profiles, and book appointments by providing their name, phone number, selecting the desired treatment, and selecting a preferred date and time for the appointment.
Vezdoc acts solely as an intermediary and facilitator that connects patients with independent, third-party Dentists and dental clinics. Vezdoc does not itself provide dental treatment, diagnosis, prescriptions, or any form of medical or dental care.
The appointment booking facility is provided as a convenience only. Vezdoc does not guarantee that any appointment request will be accepted, confirmed, attended to at the scheduled time, or result in treatment of any particular nature.
2 Use of Medical and Dental Information
All information provided on the Platform, including but not limited to text, graphics, images, dentist profiles, qualifications, specialities, treatment descriptions, pricing indications, and other material, is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute, and should not be relied upon as, professional dental or medical advice.
Vezdoc makes no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, or completeness of any information displayed on the Platform.
Nothing on the Platform is intended to be, and must not be treated as, a substitute for professional dental examination, diagnosis, or treatment by a qualified Dentist. Use of the Platform does not, by itself, create any patient-doctor relationship between you and Vezdoc.
If you believe you have a dental or medical emergency, you must immediately contact your local emergency helpline number or visit the nearest emergency facility. Do not rely on the Platform for emergency situations.
Always seek the advice of a qualified Dentist or other qualified healthcare provider regarding any questions you may have concerning a dental condition, symptoms, or treatment, and before undertaking any new dental care regimen. Never disregard professional advice, or delay in seeking it, because of information you have read on the Platform.
3 Appointment Booking
When booking an appointment, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, including your full name, a valid and reachable phone number, the treatment for which you are seeking consultation, and your preferred date and time for the appointment.
By submitting an appointment request, you authorise Vezdoc and/or the relevant Dentist or clinic to contact you via phone call, SMS, WhatsApp, or other messaging services for the purpose of confirming, rescheduling, reminding, or following up on your appointment.
The date and time selected by you at the time of booking constitute a request only and are subject to confirmation and availability of the Dentist. Vezdoc and/or the Dentist or clinic reserve the right to confirm, reschedule, or decline any appointment request at their discretion, and will endeavour to inform you of any such change.
A patient-doctor relationship is established only upon direct consultation between you and the Dentist, whether in person or through any online consultation facility. Vezdoc is not a party to, and assumes no responsibility for, the clinical relationship, diagnosis, advice, prescription, or treatment provided by any Dentist.
Vezdoc is not responsible for, and shall have no liability arising from: (a) delays, cancellations, or no-shows by either the patient or the Dentist; (b) waiting times at the clinic; (c) fees charged by the Dentist or clinic, which are determined solely by the Dentist/clinic and may vary from any indicative information shown on the Platform; or (d) the outcome, quality, or result of any consultation or treatment.
You may cancel or request to reschedule an appointment by contacting Vezdoc's support team or the relevant clinic directly, where such a facility is made available, subject to the clinic's own cancellation and rescheduling policies.

Under no circumstances shall Vezdoc be held liable for any loss, damage, injury, or harm of any kind, including death, arising directly or indirectly from: (a) reliance on information available on the Platform; (b) the use or misuse of the Platform; or (c) any consultation, diagnosis, prescription, treatment, or procedure performed by any Dentist or clinic listed on the Platform. User discretion is strongly advised at all times.
5 Dentist and Clinic Information
Vezdoc endeavours to obtain accurate information concerning Dentists and clinics, including their names, qualifications, registration/credential details, specialities, experience, and clinic addresses, from sources believed to be reliable.
