TERMS & CONDITIONS OF THE LAZAR MEDICAL CONSORTIUM GROUP 

Nature of the Consortium Group:
The Lazar Medical Consortium Group (association with a TM-protected trademark) is a nonprofit consortium of independently operating physicians and/or clinics coordinated and led by Dr. Marius and Tomas Lazar. The goal is to provide seamless telemedicine care across multiple specialties on a global scale without the need for mergers. Consequently, Lazar Medical Consortium Group (colloquially also: Lazar Group, Lazar Clinic Group or LCG) is a nonprofit association of fully independent physicians referred to as "Partners", "Team Members" or "Consortium Members". These Terms and Conditions ("Terms & Conditions") apply to all services provided by a Consortium Member to third parties as a binding legal agreement between the independent as well as autonomous Partners/Consortium Members and their patients. These Terms & Conditions also govern the use of this website (www.your-doctor.com) and everything that derives from it. The members of the consortium, although completely independent, have agreed on common terms and conditions, which are listed below.

Platform regulators vs. service providers:
The members of the Lazar Medical Consortium Group (LCG) are solely responsible for their own businesses and profits. LCG (including the website www.your-doctor.org) itself is a union without the aim of distributing gains to anyone. It is supervised and guided by a honorary board. The board members are: Dr. Marius Lazar (voting share 38%), Koula Papadopoulou (voting share 2%), Luzia Healthcare n.e.V. (voting share 54%), Dr. David Rosenberg (voting share 8%). Voting shares are allocated by the Board in a secret ballot. The basis for this is Article 5 (3) of the statutes of the Lazar Medical Consortium Group.

The votings share of the Partner Board is an internal affair of LCG.

Responsible for all platform and websites of LCG:
Dr. Marius and Tomas Lazar (legally responsible, address at the end of this text) under supervision of the Consortium’s honorary board.

Warning:
THIS WEBSITE AND ALL SERVICES PRESENTED BY THE CONSORTIUM MEMBERS ARE NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN EMERGENCIES. IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE OR MAY HAVE A MEDICAL OR HEALTH EMERGENCY, YOU NEED TO CALL YOUR LOCAL PROVIDER, CALL AN AMBULANCE, OR OTHER APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY FACILITIES IN YOUR LOCATION. ALL DIAGNOSES PROVIDED BY ANY MEMBER OF THE LAZAR MEDICAL CONSORTIUM GROUP IS TENTATIVE AND REQUIRES THE CONFIRMATION BY A LOCAL PHYSICIAN IN PERSON.  

Acceptance of Terms:
If you do not agree with these terms or if the country you reside in does not allow the use of such services as they are offered on this website, please leave this website immediately and do not use any service presented by/about a Consortium Member.

Right to modify terms:
We may at our sole discretion change, add, or delete portions of these terms at any time, without prior notice to you, for any reason whatsoever. Your continued use of the website and/or services following notice of any such changes will indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the revised terms, inclusive of such changes. If you object to any changes to these terms, your sole recourse will be to cease using the website and services. We will not be liable to you or any third-party should we exercise our right to modify or discontinue the website and/or the services presented on it. In addition, certain features of the website and the services presented on it may be subject to additional terms of use. By using such features, or any part thereof, you agree to be bound by the additional terms of use applicable to such features. In the event that any of the additional terms of use governing such area conflict with these terms, the additional terms will govern. You agree to review these terms each time you access and/or use the website and services presented on it so that you may be aware of any changes to these terms.

Fees:
All charges are solely a compensation for the time a Consortium Member spends with a patient/client. Cures or improvements in the patient's/client's health are not chargeable services. Therefore, reimbursements are excluded from the moment a time-consuming interaction between a LCG member and a client/patient has taken place. The obligation to pay the consultation fee is independent of the content and/or perceived quality and/or success of the service provided. 

Fees and accounting system:
All payment transactions are handled externally for the Consortium Members as a service by RVS Ltd. in Wilton Manors (Florida), since LCG is not a company. RVS Ltd. is responsible for collecting payments to the fully independent medical professionals. RVS Ltd. customer service is available daily from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm local time. Neither Dr. Lazar, nor the Consortium, nor the Board of Directors are responsible in any way for any financial issues. Membership in the LCG does not affect the independent entrepreneur status of each Consortium Member.

Patient’s duties:
If an individual makes use of a tele-medical service presented on this website and/or being part of the LCG he/she is obliged to consult a local doctor latest within 48 hours, or immediately in case of acute conditions and/or on the advice of a physician.

Dangers of telemedicine services:
ALL SERVICES PROVIDED BY ALL CONSORTIUM MEMBERS ARE NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN EMERGENCIES. IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE OR MAY HAVE A MEDICAL OR HEALTH EMERGENCY, YOU NEED TO CALL YOUR LOCAL PROVIDER, AN AMBULANCE, OR OTHER APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY CONTACT NUMBERS IN YOUR LOCATION. The Telemedicine Services you may receive from any Consortium Member are strictly limited non-emergency services that are not a substitute for, nor intended to substitute for, the advice of your primary care provider or of other qualified health care professionals. You agree that you will not delay seeking advice from your local primary care provider or other local medical care providers because of information provided by Consortium Members. You will seek emergency help locally when needed (or when you think it may be needed) and you will continue to consult with all your local care providers for your regular care.

This also applies to the services of Consortium Members provided by means of other internet based service entities.

This does not apply in the event that the booked doctor contacts you within the time specified by him or her on the booking page and you do not respond.

Privacy:

It is tied to the place(s) where the consulted medical professional regularly carries out his or her activities. In the field of telemedicine, the location of the attending physician may change for limited periods of time due to the usual course of life (e.g., congresses, continuing education, working vacations, part-time work, etc.).
