  2. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable:
  3. These Terms are structured as follows:
    • Section A: General terms for all types of health services, treatments, examinations, and surgical operations.
    • In case of any conflict between general and specific terms, the specific terms will prevail.
  4. The Turkish version of these Terms is the authoritative version. In case of discrepancies between the Turkish version and versions in other languages, the Turkish version shall govern.

A3. About Pariwa.com

  1. Pariwa.com provides the platform for booking health facility appointments, treatments, examinations, or surgical operations and is responsible for the platform itself, but not for the Treatment Experience.
  2. We collaborate with local support service providers (e.g., Customer Support or account management). These entities:
    • Do not control or manage our Platform.
    • Do not have their own platforms.
    • Do not have legal or contractual relationships with you.
    • Do not provide Treatment Experiences.
    • Do not represent us, enter into contracts on our behalf, or accept legal documents.
    • Do not act as our "process or service representatives."

A4. Our Platform

  1. While we strive to provide our services with reasonable care, we cannot guarantee that every element on our Platform is error-free (as we receive information from Service Providers). To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for errors, interruptions, or incomplete information but will do our best to correct them promptly.
  2. Our Platform does not endorse or recommend any Service Provider or their products, services, facilities, or equipment.
  3. We are not a party to the terms between you and the Service Provider. The Service Provider is solely responsible for all aspects of the Treatment Experience.
  4. You may need an account to make a reservation. Please ensure all your information (including payment and contact details) is accurate and up-to-date. Otherwise, you may not be able to access your Health and Appointment Experiences. You are responsible for all activities under your account. Do not allow anyone else to use your account. Keep your username and password confidential.
  5. We display offers in the language we believe is most appropriate for you. You can switch to another language at any time.
  6. Unless otherwise stated, you must be at least 19 years old to use the Platform.

A5. Our Values

  1. You must:
    • Adhere to our values.
    • Comply with all applicable laws.
    • Cooperate with us in any fraud/money laundering prevention checks we need to conduct.
    • Not use the Platform to cause trouble or make fake appointments and reservation requests.
    • Use the Health and Treatment Experience and/or Platform appropriately.
    • Not cause harm or behave inappropriately towards the Service Provider's staff (or anyone else).partofyourworld.org

A6. Prices

  1. When you make an appointment or confirm a Quote Reservation, you agree to pay the price of the Health and Treatment Experience along with any applicable fees and taxes.
  2. Some prices you see may be rounded to the nearest whole number. The actual price you pay is based on the unrounded original price (though the difference is minimal).
  3. Obvious errors and misprints are not binding. For example, if you book a health service or surgical operation mistakenly listed at 1 TRY, we will cancel the reservation and refund any amount you paid.
  4. A crossed-out price indicates the price of a similar reservation or transaction where a lower price was not applied ("similar" meaning the same dates, conditions, and quality of health facility class).

A7. Payment

  1. The Service Provider may require prepayment and/or payment during the Health and Treatment Experience.
    • If we manage your payment, we are responsible for handling your payment and completing the transaction with the Service Provider. In this case, your payment serves as the final payment for the service to be received, limited to the "amount due" for the service. Additional services like tests, procedures, or imaging not explicitly stated may not be included in the fee.
    • If the Service Provider collects the fee, payment is usually made in person at the start of your Treatment Experience, but it may also be charged to your credit card when you make the appointment or paid at the health facility. This depends on the prepayment terms shared with you during the appointment process.
  2. If the Service Provider requires prepayment, it may be collected when you make the Quote Reservation or a pre-authorization may be placed, and the amount may be non-refundable. Therefore, please check the Service Provider's prepayment terms (shared with you during the reservation process) before confirming the quote. We have no influence or responsibility over these terms.
  3. If you are aware or suspect that your Payment Method has been used fraudulently or without authorization, please contact your payment provider. Your payment provider may cover any resulting costs up to a certain limit.
  4. If the currency selected on the Platform differs from that of the Service Provider, we may:
    • Display prices in your currency.
    • Offer a "Pay in Your Currency" option.
      During payment, you will see our Currency Conversion Rate in your account's offer details or in the email we send you. If we charge you for any service, this fee is expressed as a percentage over the European Central Bank rates. Your card issuer may charge you for foreign currency transactions.
  5. With your consent, we will store your Payment Method information for future transactions.

A8. Terms

  1. By making an appointment or confirming a quote, you accept the applicable terms displayed during the process. Each Service Provider's cancellation and other terms (such as accepted cards) can be found on our Platform, on the Service Provider's information page, during the treatment reservation process, in additional information, and/or in the confirmation email or request (if any).
  2. If you cancel or do not use the appointment or treatment reservation, the cancellation/no-show fee and refund will depend on the Service Provider's cancellation/no-show terms.PariharaOnline.com+1PACT+1
  3. Some appointments and treatment reservations cannot be canceled for free, while others can only be canceled for free up to a certain date.
  4. If you make a prepaid Health and Treatment Experience appointment (including all price components and/or any deposit) and the Service Provider cannot collect the payment on the specified date, they may cancel the appointment without prior notice. In such cases, any non-refundable payments you made may only be refunded at the Service Provider's discretion. Ensuring timely payment is your responsibility (your bank card, debit card, or credit card details must be correct, and your account must have sufficient funds).
  5. If you think you will not arrive on time, please contact your Service Provider to prevent them from canceling your appointment or reservation and inform them of your expected arrival time. We are not responsible for any consequences (e.g., cancellation of your reservation or fees charged by Service Providers) that may result from your lateness.
  6. As the person making the reservation or appointment, you are responsible for the actions and behavior of any companions or group members (in relation to the Health Experience). It is also your responsibility to obtain their permission before providing us with their personal data.

  1. How to earn Rewards? You can earn a Reward, for example, by booking an appointment at a participating clinic, by making a reservation based on an offer, or by completing a specific number of bookings or appointments within a certain timeframe. When a Reward is available, we will explain the applicable terms and how the Reward can be used.
  2. Where can you find your Rewards? When you receive one or more Rewards, you will find a “Rewards and Wallet” link in the menu of your Pariwa Account.

  3. Types of Rewards. Rewards are granted either (a) as Wallet Credits or (b) in other forms such as credit card cashback or vouchers. Each Reward will be announced and described at the appropriate time.
  4. How are Credits earned? Credits are typically granted as a result of earning a Reward. We may also grant Credits for other reasons, such as if your Treatment Experience fails to meet our usual high standards.
  5. Where can you find your Credits? When you are awarded Credits, you’ll see a “Rewards and Wallet” link in your Pariwa.com Account menu. Under the “Wallet” tab, you’ll be able to see your total Credit balance, separated into Healthcare and Cash Credits if applicable. You’ll also see when each Credit was issued or used and when it is due to expire. If you have any Cash Credits, you’ll see a link to convert them to cash.
  6. Types of Credits. Healthcare Credits can only be used toward specific Healthcare Experiences. We will show you which Healthcare Experiences (such as specific health facilities) are eligible for use with Healthcare Credits. Cash Credits can be transferred to your Payment Method (by clicking “Transfer Cash Credits to Card”) or used for Healthcare Experiences that are also payable with Healthcare Credits.

Additional Reward Conditions

  • Have an account on our Platform

  • Meet the applicable Special Criteria for the Reward
  • Not violate the Rewards and Wallet Terms
  • Have a valid credit card for Credit Card Cashback Rewards

  • Time-sensitive restrictions (e.g., limited-time offers with expiry dates)
  • Platform limitations (e.g., promotional codes that are valid only in our app)
  • Facility limitations (e.g., offers valid only with specific Service Providers)
  • Minimum spend requirements (e.g., a Reward available only for bookings above a certain value)
  • Maximum Reward value (whether monetary or non-monetary)

  2. If the cost of the relevant Healthcare Experience is less than your available Credits, the remaining Credits will remain in your Wallet.
  3. If the cost of the Healthcare Experience exceeds your available Credits, you must pay the remaining balance on time using an accepted Payment Method. Otherwise, the purchase will be canceled and your Credits will be returned to your Wallet.
  4. If you have multiple Credits with different expiration dates, the Credits with the earliest expiration date will be used first.
  5. If you cancel a Healthcare Experience that you paid for (partially or fully) using Credits, whether your money and/or Credits will be refunded depends on the Provider’s cancellation policy. Our Customer Service team may refund Credits you are entitled to.
  6. Cash Credits can be transferred to a Payment Method (Healthcare Credits cannot).
  7. Your Wallet's default currency is determined by your location, residency, or another currency we may choose. If you receive Credits or Cashback in another currency, we will convert them to your default or another selected currency using our Currency Conversion Rate.

Here is the English translation of your text in a clear and professional format:


1. Scope and Nature of Our Service

Through our Platform, we (Pariwa.com and its affiliated (distribution) partners) provide an online environment where Healthcare and Treatment Providers can advertise, market, sell, promote, and/or offer their products and services for order, purchase, reservation, or rental. Visitors to the Platform can discover, search, compare, order, and make reservations and payments for such healthcare and treatment services.

By using or benefiting from the Healthcare and Treatment Service (e.g., making an appointment or reservation via the Platform), you enter into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the Healthcare or Treatment Provider from whom you have made the reservation or purchase. From the moment you make your reservation, we act solely as an intermediary between you and the Healthcare or Treatment Provider. We transmit your appointment details to the relevant Provider(s) and send you a confirmation email on their behalf. Pariwa.com does not (re)sell, rent, or offer any treatment-related product or service.

The information we provide through the Healthcare and Treatment Service is based on data supplied by the Providers. Although we exercise reasonable care in providing our services, we cannot guarantee that all information is accurate, complete, or correct, nor can we be held responsible for any errors (including obvious typographical errors), service interruptions (due to temporary and/or partial system outages, repairs, updates, or maintenance), inaccurate, misleading or untrue information, or any lack of communication. Each Provider remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness, and correctness of the (descriptive) information (including prices, availability, and terms) displayed on our Platform. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, we do not recommend, endorse, or warrant the quality, level of service, ratings, or type of any Provider (or its facilities, premises, services, or products) displayed on our Platform.

Our services are provided for personal and non-commercial use only. Therefore, the content and information on our Platform (including, but not limited to, prices, availability, and descriptions), as well as the software, reservations, and services offered, may not be used, copied, displayed, downloaded, or reproduced for any commercial or competitive activity or purpose.


Partner Offers

Pariwa.com may also display offers (Partner Offers) that are facilitated through another platform operated by a Pariwa.com partner company and not directly by a Healthcare or Treatment Provider. Such Partner Offers will be clearly marked and can be distinguished from standard offers. Unless stated otherwise, Partner Offers are subject to the following conditions:

4. Free for Consumers – Only Providers Pay!

Unless stated otherwise, our service is free for consumers. Unlike many other intermediaries, we do not charge you for our Healthcare and Treatment Services and do not add any additional fees to the price (for appointments).

Healthcare and Treatment Providers pay Pariwa.com a commission (a small percentage of the treatment or service price) after the consumer has used the service (e.g., received treatment at a facility and made payment). Providers may increase their commission rate to improve their visibility ranking (Visibility Boost). The use of Visibility Boost is at the discretion of each Provider and may vary by time or product offered. Our ranking algorithm may consider this commission increase when determining Default Rankings. Preferred partners pay a higher commission for better placement.

Only Providers with a stronger commercial partnership (contractually) with Pariwa.com are listed on our Platform for B2B and/or B2C promotions. Unlike platforms like Amazon or eBay, Pariwa.com is not a consumer-to-consumer (C2C) marketplace and does not allow unverified or non-professional parties to list or sell products or services via the Platform.


5. Credit Card or Bank Transfer

Where applicable, certain Health or Treatment Providers offer the option to pay for Health or Treatment appointments via secure online payment (either in full or partially, as required by the Provider's payment terms) during the appointment process, subject to the capabilities and support of your bank. Pariwa.com facilitates payment for certain products and services (i.e., payment mediation services) through third-party payment processors, depending on the Provider's choice. Pariwa.com does not act or operate as an official seller. Payments are securely processed from your credit/debit card or bank account to the Provider's bank account via a third-party payment processor. All payments made to the Health or Treatment Provider in this manner constitute full or partial settlement of the applicable price for the product or service. You may not claim a refund for the amount paid.

In cases of specific (non-refundable) prices and special offers, Health or Treatment Providers may require payment (if possible) via bank transfer or credit card after the appointment is booked and confirmed. This may involve pre-authorization or (sometimes non-refundable) charges to your credit card. Please thoroughly review the details of your selected product or service before booking to identify any such conditions. Pariwa.com is not liable for any (authorized, unauthorized (alleged), or erroneous) payment collection actions taken by the Health or Treatment Provider, and you will not claim or demand a refund for any valid and authorized payment collected by the Provider from your credit card.

In cases of credit card fraud or unauthorized use of your credit card by third parties, most banks and credit card companies assume the risk and cover damages resulting from fraud or misuse. However, this commitment may be subject to a deductible (usually around 1,500 TRY or the equivalent in your local currency). If your credit card company or bank charges you this amount due to unauthorized transactions resulting from a booking made on our platform, we will reimburse you up to 1,500 TRY (or the equivalent in your local currency). To be eligible for compensation, ensure you report the fraud to your credit card provider (in accordance with their reporting rules and procedures) and contact us immediately. Please provide us with evidence of the charged deductible amount (e.g., terms from your credit card company). This compensation applies to bookings made with a credit card through Pariwa.com's secure server and in cases where your credit card is used without your authorization due to no fault of your own while using our secure server.

6. Prepayment, Cancellation, No-Show, and Additional Information

By booking a Health or Treatment appointment from a Provider, you acknowledge and agree to the applicable cancellation and no-show policies of the respective Provider, as well as any additional terms and conditions that may apply to your treatment (including facility rules provided on our Platform and by the Provider). These terms can be obtained from the relevant Health or Treatment Provider. General cancellation and no-show policies of Providers are available on our Platform's Provider information pages and are reiterated in the confirmation email sent to you (and, if applicable, during the booking process). Please note that certain prices, fees, and special offers may not be eligible for cancellation, refund, or changes. Before making a booking, carefully review the details of your selected product or service to identify any such conditions. Failure to pay the remaining amount(s) for a Health or Treatment appointment that requires prepayment (in full or partially) by the specified due date may result in cancellation of the appointment, subject to the Provider's payment terms. Cancellation and prepayment policies may vary depending on the segment, product, or service of the treatment. Please carefully read the additional information (under each Health or Treatment type on our Platform or at the bottom of each Provider's page) and the important information in your booking confirmation regarding any additional terms that may apply (e.g., age requirements, security deposits, accepted cards). Late payment, incorrect bank, credit card, or debit card information, invalid credit/debit cards, or insufficient funds are your responsibility, and unless the Provider agrees otherwise or accepts different terms, you will not be entitled to any refund for any (non-refundable) prepaid amount.

If you anticipate arriving late at the facility on your appointment or reservation date or cannot make it to your examination or appointment time, ensure you inform the Health or Treatment Provider in a timely and appropriate manner to avoid cancellation or no-show charges. If you need assistance contacting the Provider, our customer service department is available to help. Pariwa.com accepts no responsibility for any issues arising from late arrivals, cancellations, or no-show charges imposed by the Health or Treatment Provider.

To review, modify, or cancel your Health or Treatment appointment, follow the instructions provided in the confirmation email. Please note that cancellation and no-show policies of the Provider, as well as any prepayment terms, may result in cancellation fees or forfeiture of prepaid amounts. We recommend carefully reading the Provider's cancellation, prepayment, and no-show policies before making your booking and ensuring timely payment of any remaining amounts due under your appointment.

7. (Other) Correspondence and Communication Methods

By completing a Health or Treatment appointment, you agree to receive (i) an email shortly before your appointment date providing information about your treatment and specific details and offers related to your Health or Treatment appointment (including third-party offers to the extent you have actively opted in), (ii) an email after your arrival requesting a review of your Health or Treatment Provider and your experience with the Health or Treatment Service, and (iii) an email shortly after your treatment inviting you to complete our patient/client review form. For more information on how we may contact you, please refer to our privacy policy.

Pariwa.com assumes no responsibility or liability for any communications made through or facilitated by its platform between you and the Health or Treatment Provider. You cannot derive any rights from any request or communication sent to the Health or Treatment Provider or from any acknowledgment of receipt of any communication or request. Pariwa.com cannot guarantee that any request or communication will be received, read, complied with, or executed by the Health or Treatment Provider in a timely manner.

To ensure the proper completion of your Health or Treatment appointment and request processes, you must use a valid email address. We are not responsible or liable for any incorrect or misspelled email addresses, inaccurate or erroneous (mobile) phone numbers, or credit card numbers provided by you (and we are not obligated to verify these details).

All claims and complaints against Pariwa.com or regarding the Health or Treatment Service must be submitted promptly, and in any event, within 30 days after the scheduled date of completion of the product or service. Claims and complaints submitted after the 30-day period may be rejected, and the claimant may forfeit all rights to any compensation (for damages or costs).


The translation of the section you provided is quite extensive. To ensure quality and maintain structure, I’ll begin by translating the first part. Here's the English version of the Section 8 and 9, and Intellectual Property Rights section from your text:


8. Rankings, Preferred Programs, Star Ratings, and Reviews

Our Platform aims to present you with relevant search results by providing a personalized default ranking of Health or Treatment Providers. You can apply filters and sort by alternative criteria, thereby influencing how search results are presented and obtaining rankings based on other preferences. We use multiple algorithms to generate default rankings, and this process is continuously evolving.

Pariwa.com has determined that the following parameters are most closely related to finding a suitable Health or Treatment Provider and prioritizes them accordingly in its algorithms (main parameters): your personal search history, click-through rate (CTR) from the search page to the provider’s page, the conversion rate based on visits to the provider’s page, and the gross (including cancellations) and net (excluding cancellations) number of bookings made with a provider. Independent elements such as review scores (aggregate and component), availability, terms, competitive pricing, content quality, and specific provider features can also influence conversion and CTR.

The provider’s history of timely payments and the percentage of commission paid to us, or other benefits offered (e.g., through commercial agreements with partners), may influence the default ranking. Providers may also influence their ranking by participating in various programs or visibility boosters, including the Preferred Partner Program, which involves paying a higher commission.

Certificates and licenses displayed on Pariwa.com are not determined or verified by us. These typically come from official authorities under legal requirements. The accuracy and validity of these documents are subject to the oversight of relevant authorities.

To facilitate better matching, Pariwa.com may assign a quality score (displayed as yellow squares) to some health facilities. This score is based on over 400 attributes across five categories: (i) services/amenities listed on Pariwa.com; (ii) facility size and capacities; (iii) number and quality of uploaded photos; (iv) average patient reviews including cleanliness ratings; and (v) anonymized past booking data. Machine learning analysis is used to assign a score between 1 and 5.

Only patients who have received treatment may submit reviews. These reviews (including in-treatment feedback) are uploaded (a) to inform future users on the provider’s quality, and (b) may be used at Pariwa.com’s discretion across promotional or partner platforms. Reviews may only be submitted within 3 months of treatment and will remain visible for up to 36 months. Reviews are ranked by submission date but detailed reviews from “Facility Inspectors” may be prioritized. Reviews may be filtered by language, date, and score. Providers may respond to reviews. We reserve the right to edit or remove reviews that violate our policies. Reviews should not include commercial promotions, explicit language, private names, or references to stolen items.

Pariwa.com does not accept reviews containing:

  • Profanity, sexual content, hate speech, threats, or violence
  • Full names or personal attacks on staff
  • Promotion of illegal activities (e.g., drugs, prostitution)
  • Contact details, credit card numbers, or sensitive information
  • Politically sensitive comments

Pariwa.com and any Health or Treatment Provider may terminate their partnership with due notice, including in cases of breach or insolvency.
