Terms and Conditions for use of Online Doctor Consultation/Counseling/Yoga therapy Services:
Online doctor consultation is not a substitute to in person consultation with a doctor and rather is to be considered as an add-on. Hence terms “Your physician” or “Your doctor” or “healthcare provider” or any similar words are linked to your health professional who is involved in providing you health services in person and are not applicable to online consultations. Similarly online counseling service or online yoga training is not a substitute to in person counseling or yoga training. Hence terms “your counselor” or “your yoga trainer” are applicable to your in person counselor or yoga trainer.
- NO DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP: Online doctor consultation does not replace your relationship with your in-person physician or healthcare provider. The information obtained through online consultation should not be relied upon as a substitute for sound professional medical advice, evaluation or care from Your physician or other qualified healthcare provider. Online consultation with a doctor cannot be considered a substitute to in-person consultation as the former misses the important aspect of examination.
- You acknowledge that the e-prescription which may be issued by the medical expert(s), in certain events, is not a valid prescription under applicable law(s) of India and may not be used for dispensation of medicines by any pharmacist including the Third Party Pharmacies.

Risks of using our information/services
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with use of our services. By using the services, you agree to abide by these terms and conditions, Privacy Policy and risks described below. These risks include, but may not be limited to:
● While the Website is an honest attempt to provide access to the best possible yoga/ayurveda information to the users, the yoga/ayurveda expert/s will not be examining you physically. The yoga/ayurveda experts may not have access to all or some of your medical history that might be critical to make decisions. The experts will not have the benefit of information that would be obtained by examining you in person, observing your physical condition and by going through your medical records in detail. This means that the services provided are different from the diagnostic and treatment services typically decided by a physician. Therefore, the experts may not be aware of facts or information that would affect his or her opinion of your diagnosis. To reduce the risk of this limitation, www.yogayurchikitsa.com explicitly expresses and strongly encourages you to be in touch with an on-ground physician and share the www.yogayurchikitsa.com opinion with him/her.
● By requesting a medical opinion through the website, you acknowledge and agree that:
○ the advice/information/opinion on diagnosis you may receive could be limited and provisional;
○ the medical opinion is not intended to replace a face-to-face visit with a physician and it does not replace an actual doctor-patient relationship;
○ in case of a second opinion where there is a difference of opinion among our yoga/ayurveda experts and your physician, you would bear the responsibility to decide on online or offline consultation, or procedure, and/or treatment;
○ the yoga/ayurveda expert is reliant on information provided by you and hence any information demonstrated to have been falsified, misleading or incomplete will immediately render the opinion and all details therein null and void;
○ in some cases, the expert may determine that the transmitted information is of inadequate quality and may ask for more information, without which he/she may refuse to answer the query;
○ in some cases, the experts may feel that the query may not be answerable without physically examining the patient/clients and the consultation may be refused forthwith;
○ in very rare instances, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information; and
○ delays in medical evaluation, answers/services could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the service as per those mentioned in these terms and conditions.
