1. Scope of the Terms and Conditions

The TCs, as amended from time to time, apply exclusively to all agency agreements between BB and the patient.

2. Agreement Conclusion and Process

With the receipt of the completed Surgery Application Form and the consent to the TCs as well as the written confirmation by BB, the agency agreement is concluded.

The surgery date is coordinated between BB and the patient prior to the completion of the Surgery Application Form. The date of the surgery can only be reserved for 3 working days. Afterwards, a binding commitment by the patient is required (by means of a signed Surgery Application Form and consent to the TCs) and a down payment is due with immediate effect (for further details, please see Article 3 of the TC). If a travel arrangement to Prague is requested as well, the patient shall be required to sign the form Registration – Travel Arrangement (attached to the TC) and deliver it to BB at the same time as the signed Surgery Application Form.

Before the surgery, the following medical examinations should be performed: blood count, urine examination, blood-mineral-analysis (sodium, potassium, chlorides), glycaemia, ALT and AST enzymes examination, ECG with description, Quick/INR, pulmonary radiography (required for patients older than 60 years of age and for all patients with a lung disease). The examination results may not be older than 14 days at the day of the surgery. The examinations can be performed by the internists cooperating with BB in Switzerland.

3. Prices and Terms of Payment

After the receipt of the completed and signed Surgery Application Form and the TCs, the patient receives an invoice for the agency fee of CHF 200.-, the surgery down payment in the agreed amount and, if a travel arrangement by BB is desired by the patient, a fee for the travel arrangement of CHF 40.-. The previously mentioned prices for the agency fee, surgery down payment and travel arrangement fee are excluding the applicable Swiss VAT of 8.1%, which will be added to the total amount and will be separately declared in the invoice. The invoice shall be paid immediately (no later than three business days after the invoice receipt) to the account indicated in the invoice. The balance of the surgery price shall be paid directly before the surgery at the clinic.

4. Cancellation Policy and Charges

In the event of a surgery cancellation, the following cancellation fees shall be charged:

  • 91 or more calendar days before the agreed surgery date – the agency fee, travel arrangement fee and 30% of the surgery down payment
  • 61-90 calendar days before the agreed surgery date – the agency fee, travel arrangement fee and 50% of the surgery down payment
  • 0-60 calendar days before the agreed surgery date – the agency fee, travel arrangement fee and 100% of the surgery down payment

Notwithstanding the paragraph above, if the patient cancels a surgery and subsequently reserves a surgery at another date which is not later than 6 months after the initial planned surgery date, the down payment made by the patient for the initial surgery shall be offset against the price of the subsequent surgery. However, for any date changes, a processing fee of CHF 100.- shall be charged.

Further, if the patient cancels a surgery for which he has already changed the date in the past, 100% of the surgery down payment, the agency fee and travel arrangement fee shall be forfeited, irrespective of the time of the cancellation.

If the pre-surgery medical examination reveals that the surgery is not recommended for medical reasons and a medical certificate confirming this is provided to BB, the patient shall be offered a new surgery date (not latest than 6 months after the initial surgery date). The payments already made by the patient will be offset against an invoice for the new agreed surgery date. Should the patient not be interested in a new surgery date within 6 months of the initial surgery date, the agency fee, travel arrangement fee and 100% of the surgery down payment shall be forfeited. The surgery down payment, the agency fee and travel arrangement fee shall be forfeited if the pre-surgery medical examination takes place in Prague day before/at the day of the surgery and reveals that the surgery cannot be performed due to medical reasons. The surgery down payment in CHF (or the equivalent in EUR) paid by the patient shall be refunded to the patient immediately if the medical examination reveals that the surgery is not recommended for medical reasons and will not be recommended in the future either and a medical certificate confirming this is provided to BB.

If the desired doctor is not able to perform the surgery for health or other important reason, a doctor with a comparable level of technical competence shall perform the surgery and the patient shall be immediately informed about such change.

If the patient changes his/her travel details (for example the day of departure or the number of passengers) after the receipt of a reservation confirmation for the accommodation and/or transfer booked as per the patient’s initial information, a processing fee of CHF 30.- shall be charged for adjustments to the accommodation/transfer reservation.

The private clinic for plastic surgery and all its specialists for plastic surgery guarantee a cost-free remedy of any surgery performed by them in case the result of such surgery is objectively unsatisfactory from an aesthetic point of view and the patient claims such remedy within 12 months after the surgery. In such case, the patient will pay for the stay in the clinic, the anaesthetics and an administration fee of CHF 150.-. This fee includes all communication, organisation of a new surgery date and travel organisation. The clinic for plastic surgery is solely responsible and liable for the fulfilment of its obligation with respect to a surgery remedy. In no event shall BB be liable for any unsatisfactory surgery results and surgery remedies.

5. Liability

BB shall in no event be liable for any deficiencies in the provision of services by third parties and damages to persons or property which may be incurred by the patient in connection to the agency agreement between the patient and BB.

BB’s own liability arising from a culpable violation of its agency obligations shall remain unaffected by the above provisions.

7. Amendments
