The purpose of the General Terms and Conditions is to establish a unified system of conditions for the services provided by the service provider and their utilization, as well as to regulate the legal relationship between the service provider and the client (the patient receiving the service). It specifies the conditions for settlement, payment, and other general contractual terms.
The chosen dental outpatient care service by the client, its detailed content in this General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "contract"), and the inseparable attachments forming the Consent Statements, Anamnesis Form, and Treatment Form determine the contractual terms.
The client's – deviating from the contract – other instructions are binding on the service provider only if confirmed in writing.

2. Object of the Contract
The client, under the conditions specified in these General Terms and Conditions, receives non-obligatory (paid) dental care from the service provider.

3. Duration of the Contract
The contract is concluded on the day when the client – before the first consultation and the preparation of the treatment plan – signs the Anamnesis Form or starts the treatment with the conditions specified in the individual quotation. The signing of the Anamnesis Form also implies acceptance of the fees listed in the public price list.
Unless the contract specifies otherwise, the parties enter into an indefinite agreement, during which individual treatments, materials, and mediated services are ordered and fulfilled according to the contract's terms.

4. Service Fee
The service provider informs the client about the fees and material costs of the services by displaying a price list in the office.
During the first consultation, the condition of the teeth and mouth may require X-ray imaging. If the client has an X-ray not older than 60 days, they can request to use the provided image if its quality is sufficient.
The specific fees for treatments performed under the contract, the costs of materials used in treatments, and the fees for mediated services are recorded and invoiced at the completion of the treatments.
If the service does not involve dental materials, the fee for each treatment performed is payable at the time of treatment.
In the case of providing dental materials, 50% of their costs are payable in advance, and the remaining portion is payable upon incorporation.
The prices specified in the quotation based on the contract are valid for 30 days; after this period, the service provider has the right to change fees and material costs. Nevertheless, the fees specified in the contract may be modified during the treatment due to professional reasons arising during the treatment.
At the completion of each treatment, the client reviews the service provider's performance on the Treatment Form, and based on this, the service provider issues an invoice for services, material costs, and the fee for mediated services related to the performance. By signing the invoice, the client confirms the service provider's performance and receipt of the invoice.
During treatments, the client – at their own risk – can request the interruption or termination of the treatment at any time. In this case, the client is obligated to pay only for the treatment and dental work used up to the notice of termination.
The service provider reserves the right to interrupt treatment at any time without liability for damages if the client's health or mental condition impedes the treatment or if the client has outstanding debts to the service provider.
The customer can cancel the treatment no later than 1 working day before the day of the treatment, free of charge, in writing (by sending an e-mail) or verbally (by phone). If the Customer fails to fulfill his cancellation obligation late or does not fulfill it, he is obliged to pay a cancellation fee to the service provider:

• The Client cannot cancel or change the booked appointment within 1 working day before the treatment.
• In the event that the Client wishes to cancel, change or not show up for any reason (not including certified illness or other illness/indications certified by a medical certificate) within 24 hours prior to the booked appointment, the Client will be charged 20.000 HUF for each hour started the next time.
• The cancellation/amendment amount is therefore payable by the Customer at the next appointment, otherwise we will not be able to reschedule.

5. Payment Terms
The invoices issued by the service provider specify the deadline for payment and its method. In case of late payment, the default interest rate is twice the central bank base rate.
If the client intends to use insurance or health fund financing for the treatment, they must notify this at the reception before the treatments. The service provider only accepts payment from the insurers or health funds with which it has a contract.
