Terms of Use

By accessing, browsing, or using the website oncovie.in (the "Website"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be legally bound by these Terms of Use and our associated Privacy Policy.

This Website belongs to OncoVie, the oncology practice led by Dr. Ajay Kumar (Surgical Oncologist) and Dr. Sangeetha K (Gynaecological Oncologist) based in Mangalore, Karnataka, India. If you do not accept these Terms of Use in their entirety, you must immediately cease using this Website.

All information, text, articles, graphics, diagrams, and other educational resources published on this Website are provided solely for general awareness and informative purposes.

The contents of this website do not constitute medical advice, definitive clinical diagnosis, or a proposed personalized course of treatment. No material on this site is designed to substitute for a comprehensive in-person medical evaluation, physical examination, and professional diagnostic review by a registered super-specialist oncologist.

No action, interaction, or transmission of information through this Website establishes a formal doctor-patient relationship between you and either Dr. Ajay Kumar or Dr. Sangeetha K.

A formal professional relationship, carrying associated clinical liabilities and duties, is only initiated when:

• You undergo a formal physical, video, or in-person consultation with our doctors.
• A detailed diagnostic workup is registered under your unique hospital or clinical patient file.
• A treatment plan is mutually agreed upon in writing.

Submitting an inquiry through our appointment form, sending an email, or contacting our helpline does not bind OncoVie or our consultants to a professional duty of care.

Our online booking facility (via website form or redirected channels) allows you to submit a request for an appointment slot. It does not constitute a guaranteed booking or confirmation.

• Verification: Our administrative team will verify your submitted parameters and contact you to formalize the appointment time, location, and consulting fee.
• Cancellation Notice: Because oncology coordination requires strict scheduling, we request that patients give us a minimum of 24 hours' notice if they need to reschedule or cancel a confirmed slot. This courtesy allows us to assign the consultation slot to another patient needing urgent care.
• Affiliated Locations: Our consultants operate across highly structured, accredited, and registered network hospitals in Mangalore. Your physical consultation, diagnostic scans, and inpatient treatments will take place entirely at these designated clinical environments, as confirmed during your scheduling calls.

We believe in treating every patient and family with compassion, transparency, and dignity. In return, we expect our digital visitors and patient families to adhere to mutually respectful interaction standards.

When using this website or engaging with our staff online, you agree that you will not:

• Submit intentionally false, misleading, or fraudulent medical histories or personal identities.
• Upload or transmit any file containing malicious software, viruses, or code designed to compromise the clinical integrity of our online tools.
• Send aggressive, abusive, or inappropriate messages via our contact forms, email addresses, or helpline channels. OncoVie maintains a strict, zero-tolerance policy towards any verbal, written, or physical hostility targeting our medical or clinical staff.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Indian law, OncoVie, Dr. Ajay Kumar, Dr. Sangeetha K, and our clinical support affiliates shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from:

• Your reliance on general educational content published on this Website in lieu of seeking direct, in-person clinical consultations.
• Any delays, temporary outages, or data transmission failures on our digital channels.
• Decisions made or actions taken by you or any third party based on the informative materials available on this site.

All personal details, telephone numbers, and preliminary medical disclosures submitted to us via the website are securely handled and protected in compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 and our exhaustive Privacy Policy.

We advise that patients refrain from submitting highly sensitive diagnostic medical images or confidential genomic summaries directly through unencrypted public contact forms. Please preserve these highly private files to review them physically and safely with our doctors during your clinical appointment.

Compliance Notice: This website is built and operated strictly in compliance with the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002, the guidelines of the National Medical Commission (NMC), and local medical establishment acts. It serves as a purely factual representation of the qualifications and clinical service pathways of our registered super-specialist consultants.

These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of India. You agree that any legal action, dispute, or proceeding arising out of or relating to your use of this Website shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Mangalore, Karnataka, India.
