Terms of Use

Using this site

By using wellwardchina.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site. Nothing here limits your rights under consumer or data protection law where those apply to you.

What this site is

Wellward China provides information about healthcare in China and coordination support for people considering it. See About Wellward China for what we do and do not do.

Using our content

You may read, print and share links to our pages for your own non-commercial use, and you may quote short extracts if you credit Wellward China and link back to the original page.

You may not, without our written permission:

• republish substantial parts of a page, or republish our translations as your own;
• use our content to train a commercial product or service that competes with us, or scrape the site in bulk;
• remove or obscure our disclaimers, source attributions or update dates; or
• present our content in a way that suggests we endorse a product, hospital or service.

Accuracy — no warranty

We take care over what we publish and we check against named sources, but healthcare information changes quickly and errors happen. The site is provided as is. To the extent allowed by law, we do not warrant that content is complete, current or error-free, or that the site will be uninterrupted or free of harmful components.

Anything you rely on — a department's existence, a price, a contact route, whether a hospital can take your case — should be confirmed with the hospital directly before you act on it.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Wellward China and anyone writing for us are not liable for:

• any loss arising from clinical decisions, treatment or its absence, wherever it takes place;
• losses caused by acting on information on this site without having it confirmed;
• products, services or content reached through links to third-party sites; or
• indirect or consequential loss, or loss of profit, revenue or anticipated savings.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.

Your responsibilities

When you use the site, and especially when you contact us, you agree not to:

• send unlawful, misleading or harmful material, or anything you do not have the right to share;
• impersonate anyone, or submit an enquiry about another person without their authority;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site or interfere with how it runs; or
• use the site in a way that could damage our reputation or that of a hospital we write about.

Third-party links

We link to hospitals, journals, government bodies and others so you can check our sources. Those sites are outside our control; their content and their terms are theirs, not ours, and a link is not an endorsement.

Changes to these terms or to the site

We may update these terms, change how the site works, or withdraw pages. When terms change we update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Questions

The easiest way to reach us is [email protected] or the contact page. We would rather resolve a problem directly than have either side reach for a lawyer first.
