These Terms incorporate the Privacy Policy by reference, together with any other policies Kibo may publish from time to time governing specific features of the Services (including, where applicable, payments, cancellations, cookies, and community standards). The applicable Provider's Cancellation Policy is displayed on the relevant Listing and at checkout. Your use of the Services is also subject to the Privacy Policy.

Kibo does not own, control, offer, or manage any medical services, clinical trials, or healthcare facilities. Kibo is not a party to any contract between a Patient and a Healthcare Provider or Clinical Trial Sponsor. Kibo is not a Healthcare Provider.

1.6. Important Notice: Kibo Is Not a Healthcare Provider

All medical services are provided by independent third-party Healthcare Providers. Any information made available through the Platform—including AI-generated match percentages, treatment cost estimates, Provider profiles, and clinical trial recommendations—is provided for informational purposes only. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health professional regarding any medical condition.

The governing law for that contract is typically the law of the jurisdiction where the Provider is located and the services are rendered. Kibo is not a party to that contract.

Kibo may, at its discretion, conduct identity verification or background screening. Kibo may suspend or terminate accounts that fail verification.
5. Booking, Payments, and Cancellations
5.1. Searching and Booking
Submission of a Booking request does not guarantee a confirmed Booking; all Bookings are subject to Provider acceptance. Under a Platform Booking, you request specific time slots and the Provider accepts, rejects, or proposes alternatives. Under a Dossier Booking, you submit a treatment dossier and the Provider contacts you directly. You should review the applicable Cancellation Policy before confirming any Booking.
5.2. Cost Estimations
All cost estimates displayed on the Platform are indicative and non-binding; final costs are determined by the Provider.

Where stated, Kibo acts as a limited payment collection agent for the Provider, and payment received by Kibo constitutes payment to the Provider. Platform Fees are non-refundable unless expressly stated otherwise. Refunds of Medical Fees are governed by the applicable Provider's Cancellation Policy.
5.4. Cancellations
Refund eligibility and the refund amount are determined by the Provider's Cancellation Policy. Where major disruptive events (such as force majeure circumstances, natural disasters, or government-mandated travel restrictions) affect a Booking, the Provider's Cancellation Policy and applicable law continue to govern.
5.5. Booking Modifications
You and the Provider are jointly responsible for any modifications to a Booking and for any additional amounts, fees, or taxes that result.
5.6. Promo Codes
Promo Codes are subject to their own specific terms. They may not be duplicated, sold, or transferred, and may be disabled by Kibo at any time.
6. Medical Records and Data Privacy
6.1. License to Transmit
By uploading medical records or other health data, you grant Kibo a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, encrypt, store, and transmit such data to authorized recipients. You retain ownership of your medical records and may revoke sharing permissions at any time.

You expressly consent to the transfer of your personal and medical data across international borders for the purpose of facilitating treatment, consultations, or trial participation.

7. Clinical Trials (Med-Frontier)
7.1. Kibo's Role
The Platform enables Users to discover and apply to clinical trials. Kibo is not the operator, sponsor, or investigator of any trial. Kibo does not conduct trials and does not make enrollment decisions.
7.2. Matching Does Not Equal Enrollment
A match percentage indicates potential eligibility only and does not guarantee acceptance into any trial. Sponsors retain sole discretion over enrollment, and you must complete the Sponsor's separate application and informed consent process.
7.3. Voluntary Participation
Participation in clinical trials is voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time, subject to the trial's protocol. Clinical trials carry inherent risks, including adverse events, side effects, and treatment failure. Kibo is not responsible for trial safety, outcomes, or any adverse events.

You agree to honor your legal obligations in connection with your use of the Services.
8.2. Reviews
Reviews must reflect honest, first-hand experience. Reviews must not be incentivized, defamatory, or otherwise prohibited, and must not be manipulated.
8.3. User Content License
You grant Kibo a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use User Content to operate, promote, and improve the Platform. Kibo's use of User Content shall comply with the Privacy Policy. You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to the User Content you submit and are responsible for it. Kibo may remove violating content at its discretion.
