1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using this website (https://gastrosurgeonnepal.com), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

2. Purpose of This Website

This website provides general information about Dr. Sujan Shrestha's (MBBS, MS, MCh) surgical practice, published research, and patient-education content on gastrointestinal and laparoscopic surgery. It is intended for general informational purposes only.

3. Not a Substitute for Medical Advice

Content on this website — including blog articles, FAQs, and patient-education videos — is for general education only and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is not a substitute for an in-person consultation with a qualified physician. Always seek the advice of a doctor or other qualified health provider with any questions about a medical condition, and never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read on this website.

4. No Doctor-Patient Relationship & Not for Emergencies

Browsing this website, submitting the contact form, or requesting an appointment does not, by itself, create a doctor-patient relationship. That relationship begins only once an in-person or otherwise clinically appropriate consultation has taken place.

This website is not monitored for emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately — do not use this website or WhatsApp to seek urgent care.

5. Appointment Requests

The "Book Appointment" form lets you request an appointment; it does not guarantee a confirmed booking. Every request is reviewed and confirmed directly by our clinical or administrative staff by phone, SMS, or WhatsApp, and preferred dates or locations submitted through the form are subject to actual availability.

6. Intellectual Property

All text, photographs, videos, logos, and other content on this website belong to Gastro Surgeon Nepal / Dr. Sujan Shrestha, unless otherwise credited, and are protected under applicable copyright law in Nepal. You may view and share this content for personal, non-commercial use; you may not reproduce, modify, or republish it for commercial purposes without our prior written permission.

7. External Links & Third-Party Content

This website links to third-party platforms — including WhatsApp, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok — for communication and patient-education purposes. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the content, privacy practices, or availability of these external platforms. Use of any third-party platform is governed by that platform's own terms.

8. User Conduct

You agree not to use this website's forms (contact, newsletter, or appointment request) to submit false, abusive, fraudulent, or unlawful content, or to attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the website or its underlying systems.

9. Professional Regulation & Complaints

Dr. Sujan Shrestha practices medicine in Nepal under the professional and ethical oversight of the Nepal Medical Council (NMC). Concerns about clinical care or professional conduct should be raised directly with our clinic in the first instance, or, where applicable, with the Nepal Medical Council. This website is not the appropriate channel for reporting a clinical complaint.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted under the laws of Nepal, Gastro Surgeon Nepal and Dr. Sujan Shrestha shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website, including reliance on any information published on it.

11. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of Nepal. Any dispute arising from your use of this website shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Nepal.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms of Use at any time. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
