I. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE OF THE MEDINTIA SAS PLATFORM
These terms and conditions (the “ Terms and Conditions ”) establish the conditions of use of: (i) the virtual platform contained at the addresses www.medintia.com , www.medintia.ai , www.medintia.info ; ( ii ) the “Medintia” application (APP); and (iii) the WhatsApp channel, chatbot – virtual assistant and chat of the websites www.medintia.com , www.medintia.ai , www.medintia.info , (hereinafter (i), ( ii ) and ( iii ) as the “Platform”), managed by MEDINTIA SAS (hereinafter “Medintia”).
Use of the Platform implies express and full knowledge and acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. If you do not accept the Terms and Conditions set forth herein, you may not access or use the Platform’s services. Any User who does not agree to the Terms and Conditions has the full right not to use the Platform; however, use of the Platform fully demonstrates the User’s full, complete, and unconditional acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
To the extent permitted by law, Medintia may modify the Terms and Conditions at any time and without prior notice. Whenever the Terms and Conditions are updated or modified, the User must expressly accept the modification in order to continue using the Platform. If the User does not accept the new Terms and Conditions, the User may not continue using the Platform.
1. Nature and purpose of the Platform
The Platform, in accordance with the terms of Law 1480 of 2011, is a contact portal, the sole purpose of which is to facilitate interaction between Users (patients and physicians) and allow them to make inquiries, conduct transactions, and manage their medical services quickly and securely. However, to guarantee the security of the Platform and its Users, Medintia may condition or restrict the availability of some of the Platform’s services.
As a contact portal for the provision of services between physicians and patients, all information and content displayed through the Platform related to the services provided by these healthcare professionals should be understood to be published and disseminated directly by the physicians. Therefore, each physician will be responsible for this information and for the specific conditions they establish for the provision of their medical services, consultations, or diagnoses.
Through the Platform, Users will be able to access pre-consultation, consultation, and appointment scheduling services. Users may also schedule an appointment or consultation with the general practitioner or specialist of their choice, subject to the scheduling limitations set by the physician. The Platform also provides Users with a payment gateway for the appointment or medical consultation. This payment gateway will give Users access to the appointment calendar and the corresponding scheduling, booking, and confirmation of the appointment or consultation, according to each physician’s schedule.
The Platform and its services are freely accessible. However, the price of medical consultations or appointments is set directly by the Physician or Healthcare Professional providing the medical service, according to their personal, individual, and autonomous criteria. In collecting this price, Medintia acts solely as a means or collection channel to facilitate the transaction between patients and Physicians. Medintia’s role in paying the Physician for the service is therefore that of a payment facilitator. Therefore, the User understands and accepts that the price of the consultation or medical service will be paid directly to the corresponding Physician or Healthcare Professional, through the payment methods and payment gateway enabled by the Platform. Medintia does not make medical recommendations or suggestions, nor does it provide health, medical, scientific, or similar consultation services.
Medintia reserves the right to modify the services offered to Users at any time. Therefore, Medintia may, when it deems appropriate, eliminate or add new services to those currently offered. In any case, this decision will not change its nature as a contact portal, as the services offered are not and will not be provided directly by Medintia, but rather by the physician or healthcare professional.
2. Definitions
User : whether singular or plural, refers to all persons (Doctors or patients) who use the Platform directly or through their representatives and who meet the requirements established in these Terms and Conditions.
Pre-consultation : A (non-medical) health information guidance service provided within the Platform. Through this service and via an advisory chat, the User can explain the type of symptoms that motivated their access to the pre-consultation and the Platform. During this process (which is purely advisory and powered by artificial intelligence), the Platform will provide preliminary guidance to the User through an advisory pre-diagnosis. The pre-consultation is an initial approximation to a health problem indicated by the patient, through a description of their symptoms. Therefore, it does not replace an actual medical consultation, and its sole objective is to guide the patient to better understand the health problem the User may be facing, suggesting a consultation with a general practitioner or specialist in the field, who must review this pre-consultation information in detail through a consultation.
Pre-diagnosis : This is the general, purely suggested, and guiding recommendation made by the Platform to the User through an interactive chat as a result of the Pre-Consultation, an informative health consultation. This consultation is a process in which general information about symptoms, medical conditions, or health concerns is gathered from publicly available sources and historical medical background. This consultation does not constitute a medical diagnosis, treatment, or prescription, and does not replace consultation with a healthcare professional. Its purpose is to offer preliminary guidance so that the User can understand possible causes or factors related to a health problem and to suggest a consultation with a general practitioner or a specialist who can address their case.
Therefore, a prediagnosis is not a definitive diagnosis, but rather a hypothesis that must be validated, corrected, or ruled out by a physician through a consultation and a definitive diagnosis. The sole purpose of a prediagnosis is, therefore, to facilitate the consultation with a physician and the subsequent diagnosis. Any health-related decision should be based on the evaluation of a licensed physician, a professional with the training and tools necessary to appropriately diagnose and treat medical conditions.
Consultation : This is an evaluation performed by a licensed physician. During this appointment, the healthcare professional reviews the user’s health status, listens to their symptoms, asks additional questions, and, if necessary, orders tests to obtain more information.
Diagnosis : This is the final medical conclusion reached by the physician or healthcare professional after the consultation. It is based on the physician’s evaluation, tests (if necessary), and/or any other information available to the physician and deemed relevant, according to their professional judgment. Based on the diagnosis, the physician will inform the user about the treatment, medication prescriptions, and/or the steps to be taken to address their case.
Physician or health professional : A person with academic training and official certification to evaluate, diagnose, treat, and prevent illnesses or health problems, in accordance with Colombian law. They can specialize in various areas, such as general medicine, pediatrics, cardiology, dentistry, physical therapy, nursing, among others. Their work is based on scientific knowledge and ethical principles to protect people’s health. They are solely responsible for patient treatment, consultation, and diagnosis.

3.2. Use of credentials within the Platform

The User is fully responsible for treating their password confidentially and properly safeguarding it, preventing access to it by third parties not expressly authorized by Medintia. The User agrees to be fully responsible for any financial and other consequences arising from any misuse of the Platform password and/or its use by unauthorized third parties.
Therefore, the User agrees to inform Medintia no later than one business day after the loss or theft of the password, unauthorized use of the password by third parties, or any circumstance that Medintia should be aware of in order to prevent fraudulent acts against the User, Medintia, or third parties.
3.3. User Behavior
The User agrees to use the Platform in accordance with Colombian law, these Terms and Conditions of Use, and the information and instructions provided by Medintia, and in compliance with public order, morality, and good customs.
The User guarantees the authenticity and veracity of all personal data and information provided to complete the subscription or registration form. Likewise, the User undertakes and is responsible for keeping all information provided up-to-date, thereby enabling the treating physician to provide better service. When the User enters or incorporates any information into the Platform, they guarantee to Medintia that the information is complete and accurate, that they own all rights to it, and/or that they are authorized to provide it, as applicable.
Use of the Platform is only permitted for persons over 18 years of age. In this regard, and in accordance with the principle of good faith, it is understood that by using and/or creating a User on the Platform, you are declaring that you are of legal age, and therefore, Medintia shall not be liable for the veracity of such declaration.

3.5. Registration and use of the Platform for minors under 18 years of age and older adults
Minors under 18 years of age may not register as Users of the Platform themselves. Therefore, if the parents or legal guardians of the minor wish to use the Platform to process authorizations, request appointments, among other things, for minors in their care, they must express their consent to the conditions described herein and provide the minor’s personal information required for the Platform’s functionality. The Consultations and Services they purchase must be managed through the Platform by their legal representatives, who must also be present at all times. Parents, legal representatives, or guardians who are legally responsible for minors will be solely responsible for ensuring that the minor does not breach the Terms and Conditions and will assume full responsibility for the performance of the Consultations, Services, and Diagnostics.
In cases of representation due to legal incapacity or family relationships (for example, if an adult child wishes to manage the account of their elderly parents or a parent wishes to manage the account of their minor child), legal representatives or guardians, as the case may be, will have the opportunity to open an account and use the platform’s services on behalf of these Users, for which they must guarantee that they have the capacity to do so. In this event, the person accessing the platform as a representative is obligated to comply with all of the User’s obligations contained in this document.
4. Intellectual property
All trademarks, trade names, distinctive signs, industrial designs, utility models, patents, services, content, and information of any kind appearing on the Platform are the exclusive property of Medintia and/or have been licensed to Medintia. Therefore, they may not be reproduced, distributed, publicly communicated, transformed, modified, or used in any way without Medintia’s express prior authorization. Therefore, the User shall refrain from using in any way the trademarks, trade names, distinctive signs, industrial designs, utility models, patents, and other elements subject to Medintia’s intellectual property.
All content on the Platform, such as text, photographs, graphics, images, icons, technology, software , as well as its graphic design and source codes, constitute a work whose property belongs to Medintia , without any of the exploitation rights over them being understood to be transferred to the User, beyond what is strictly necessary for the correct use of the Platform.
Likewise, all trademarks, trade names or distinctive signs of any kind that appear on this platform are the property of Medintia , and use or access to the same cannot be understood to grant the User any right over them.
The User is prohibited from modifying, copying, distributing, transmitting, displaying, performing, reproducing, publishing, licensing, storing, creating derivative works, disclosing, assigning, selling, and generally using commercially any information, software, images, products, or services that form part of the Platform.
The User may not reproduce, disassemble, decompile, and/or reverse engineer the Platform or its software. Therefore, the User accepts that any use of the Platform outside of fair uses under intellectual property law will be considered bad faith, with the clear intention of harming Medintia or a third party and thereby obtaining a benefit for themselves or a third party.
If the User infringes another person’s intellectual property rights, or if Medintia receives information about a potential infringement of third-party rights, Medintia shall be entitled to immediately delete the offending User’s information, terminate their account on the Platform, and seek compensation for any damages caused to the Administrator as a result of the infringement.
5. Availability and continuity
Due to the characteristics and technological requirements of the Platform, there may be problems with the availability or continuity of access to and use of its services, as well as the occurrence of technical failures in the network access servers. Therefore, the User understands and accepts that in the event of failures in the Platform due to the unavailability of the service due to force majeure, errors in the telematic data transfer networks, or due to causes beyond the control of Medintia, Medintia will not be liable for damages of any nature that may be caused to the User and, to this extent, exempts Medintia from any liability related to the consequences of the occurrence of such events.
Access to the information and services provided by the Platform is, in principle, for an indefinite period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, access to the Platform may be suspended or terminated at any time if any violation of computer security schemes is verified or if impersonation of the User is detected. Therefore, Medintia will not be liable for the removal of the Platform or the suspension of the provision of services through it.
If the User’s membership in Medintia is terminated or the User status is lost for any reason, the User will not be able to use the platform.
6. Specific obligations regarding the User’s health
The User accepts and understands the nature of the Platform and the services provided through it, both by Medintia and the Doctors, and therefore understands that:
7. Exclusion of liability
Medintia provides the Platform to the User “as is,” “with all faults,” and “as available,” and the User assumes all risks associated with its use. Medintia shall not be liable for any damages, loss of business, income, or profits, consequential damages, lost profits or business opportunities, lost savings, or loss or damage to data, nor shall it be liable under any circumstances for: (a) any costs, fines, penalties, indemnities, charges, damages, or fees arising from the User’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Terms and Conditions; and/or (b) the User’s violation of any rules that may be applicable to the use of the Platform.
Therefore, the User is and will be solely responsible for: (a) their use of the Platform; (b) full compliance with any regulations that may be applicable due to or in relation to the use of the Platform, including, but not limited to, the Terms and Conditions contained therein, provisions regarding data protection, confidentiality, secrecy of communications, protection of intellectual property, and the right to privacy.
The User exempts Medintia from any liability for damages of any kind that may be caused by, or that may be due to, the presence of viruses or other malicious codes in the contents that may cause any type of damage to the User’s computer system, electronic documents or files, including, but not limited to, “computer viruses”, “worms”, “Trojan horses”, errors in functionality and operation (“bugs”), “time bombs”, “cancelbots”, “Spyware”, “phishing”, “dialers”, “hoaxes”, “jokes”, etc.
The User understands Medintia’s limitations of liability, in accordance with the conditions explained in the Terms and Conditions, and in particular under the provisions of Section 6 of this document. Therefore, the User understands that Medintia will not, under any circumstances, be liable for the User’s use of or comparison of the information provided in the Pre-diagnosis and Pre-consultation to a definitive Diagnosis. The User understands and accepts that a physician or healthcare professional is the only person sufficiently qualified to prescribe a treatment or make a Diagnosis; therefore, Medintia will not be liable in cases where the User disregards the obligation to take no action based on the information provided in the Pre-diagnosis and Pre-consultation without first consulting with a physician or healthcare professional.
The User understands that since the Pre-Consultation and Pre-Diagnosis services are merely indicative and partial, Medintia will not be liable, either civilly or commercially, for any improper use the User may make of the information received through these services.
In the event that the User experiences any inconvenience arising from treatment or a diagnosis made by a physician, the User understands and accepts that the physician will be solely responsible to the User, and therefore, the physician will be liable for any damages or losses caused. In this scenario, Medintia’s responsibility and obligation will be limited to sharing the treating physician’s contact information so that the User can address their complaint or request directly to the physician.
Medintia has rules and procedures, as well as restrictions on access and use of information, ensuring that only highly qualified and competent personnel handle sensitive databases, complying with the protocols for handling this information. However, it is not responsible for any violations of any applicable regulations that Users may incur when accessing the Platform and/or using the information contained therein. It is also not responsible for any illegitimate use that third parties may make of the information contained therein.
8. Registration of payment methods
The User may use the tokenization gateway type electronic collection channel, in the channels available on the Platform, through which they may register credit or debit cards from some franchises, Nequi, Daviplata, Dale, Mercadopago (PSE), transfers via Efecty or PSE, and others that are included within those issued by financial entities duly authorized by the Colombian Financial Superintendence (Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia).
By registering electronic collection as a payment method on the Platform, as well as on other virtual channels that may be enabled in the future for this collection method, the User will be able to make direct payments for the services they request within the Platform.
The User understands and acknowledges that the financial data recorded on the Platform is fully encrypted and, consequently, only the bank that issued the corresponding credit card will have access to it. Therefore, Medintia is not responsible for or in charge of the processing of said data or its security.
The User accepts and acknowledges that, if payment for a service has been authorized via direct debit, the payment obligation will remain in effect if there is insufficient credit on the credit card to cover the payment, or if the corresponding financial institution cannot debit the corresponding installment for any reason. Therefore, by accepting these Terms and Conditions, the User agrees to verify with the corresponding financial institution that the debit has been made to their credit card in a timely manner and, if this is not possible, will make the payment using any of the methods enabled by Medintia. If payment is not effectively made to Medintia within the contractually established timeframes, the contractual conditions regarding late payment, set forth in the service contract in force between the User and Medintia, may apply.
The User assumes responsibility for any errors or inaccuracies in the information entered into the electronic collection platform available on the Platform. Therefore, Medintia does not guarantee the accuracy, veracity, reliability, or up-to-date nature of the information included on the Platform.
9. Right of withdrawal
The User accepts and acknowledges that the right of withdrawal contemplated in Law 1480 of 2011 (Consumer Statute) does not apply to payments made electronically for periodic installments of service contracts, taking into account that the services subject to said contracts are exempt, since they are provided in accordance with the agreement with the User and are executed immediately upon signing the contract. In the event that the User exercises the right of withdrawal and payment for the service has been made, the money paid will be refunded without any type of discount or retention, within a term of no more than thirty (30) calendar days, counted from the moment the right is exercised.
10. Applicable legislation and partial nullity
These terms and conditions of use shall be governed by Colombian law, and the competent jurisdiction to hear any claim arising from the use of the platform shall be the Courts and Tribunals of the Republic of Colombia.
If any section or clause included in these Terms and Conditions of Use were declared, totally or partially, null or ineffective, such nullity or ineffectiveness will affect only said provision or the part thereof that is null or ineffective, with the remaining part of the Terms and Conditions remaining in force.
11. Processing of personal data
11.1. Authorization for processing and purposes
By accepting these Terms and Conditions of Use, the User voluntarily, previously, explicitly, informedly and unequivocally authorizes Medintia SAS to process his or her personal data.

Taking the foregoing into account, the User is informed that health data contained in laboratory tests, service authorizations, and/or other data contained in the medical history, as well as other sensitive data such as voice, may circulate on the Platform. Therefore, by accepting these Terms and Conditions, the User is authorizing the processing of their personal data and/or sensitive personal data, including all sensitive data circulating on the Platform.

During this process (which is purely advisory and powered by artificial intelligence), the Platform will provide preliminary guidance to the User through an advisory Pre-Diagnosis. The Pre-Consultation is an initial approximation to a health problem indicated by the Patient, through the description of their symptoms.

Pre-diagnosis : means the general, purely suggestive, and informative recommendation made by the Platform to the User through an interactive chat as a result of the Pre-Consultation, an informative health orientation.
