SURGISCORE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Effective Date: September 16, 2026
Last Updated: September 16, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of SurgiScore, including the SurgiScore website, mobile application, surgeon profiles, ratings, reviews, scores, photographs, information, and related services and features (collectively, the “Platform”).

“SurgiScore,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the entity operating the SurgiScore Platform.

By accessing, downloading, registering for, purchasing access to, submitting content to, or otherwise using SurgiScore, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use SurgiScore.

1. PURPOSE OF SURGISCORE

SurgiScore is an independent informational and review platform designed to help users access and share information about surgeons and, where applicable, other healthcare professionals.

Users may be able to view or submit ratings, reviews, photographs, procedure experiences, outcomes, and other information.

SurgiScore provides the technology and Platform through which this information may be shared.

SurgiScore is not a medical provider, hospital, clinic, healthcare facility, medical licensing authority, credentialing organization, medical board, medical referral service, or insurance provider.

SurgiScore does not employ, supervise, control, or practice medicine with any surgeon or healthcare professional appearing on the Platform.

2. SURGISCORE DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE

All information provided through SurgiScore is for general informational purposes only.

Nothing appearing on SurgiScore constitutes:

Users should independently consult qualified healthcare professionals regarding medical conditions, procedures, diagnoses, medications, risks, benefits, alternatives, treatment options, and surgical decisions.

Never delay or disregard professional medical advice because of information, ratings, reviews, scores, photographs, or other content appearing on SurgiScore.

If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, contact emergency medical services or an appropriate healthcare professional immediately.

3. REVIEWS ARE USER-GENERATED CONTENT

Reviews, ratings, comments, photographs, procedure descriptions, experiences, opinions, and other materials submitted by users are collectively referred to as “User Content.”

USER REVIEWS REPRESENT THE OPINIONS AND EXPERIENCES OF THE USERS WHO SUBMIT THEM. THEY DO NOT REPRESENT THE OPINIONS, STATEMENTS, OR CONCLUSIONS OF SURGISCORE.

SurgiScore does not author patient reviews.

Publication of a review does not mean that SurgiScore agrees with, endorses, adopts, confirms, guarantees, or independently verifies every statement contained in that review.

Individual medical and surgical experiences can vary substantially.

A positive or negative experience reported by one patient does not establish or predict the experience or medical outcome another patient may have.

4. SURGISCORE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR USER REVIEWS

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SurgiScore is not responsible for the opinions, statements, allegations, representations, conclusions, descriptions, or other content independently submitted by users.

The individual submitting User Content is responsible for that content.

SurgiScore does not guarantee that every review is:

Users should consider reviews as one source of information rather than relying on SurgiScore as the sole basis for making healthcare decisions.

5. RESPONSIBILITIES OF REVIEWERS

By submitting a review or other User Content, you represent and warrant, to the best of your knowledge, that:

  1. your review reflects your genuine experience and opinion;
  2. factual statements presented as facts are truthful and accurate;
  3. you have not intentionally fabricated or materially misrepresented your experience;
  4. you are not impersonating another patient or individual;
  5. you have the right to submit the content;
  6. your submission does not unlawfully violate another person's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
  7. you will not knowingly submit false, fraudulent, defamatory, threatening, harassing, or unlawful content;
  8. you will not submit a review in exchange for undisclosed compensation or improper consideration; and
  9. you will comply with applicable laws and these Terms.

The reviewer remains responsible for statements and allegations they submit regarding a surgeon, healthcare professional, medical practice, facility, or other person.

6. REVIEW VERIFICATION

SurgiScore may use verification procedures intended to improve the reliability and usefulness of reviews.

Verification may include account verification, documentation, photographs, receipts, procedure information, identity-related information, automated systems, manual review, or other methods selected by SurgiScore.

However, verification does not constitute a guarantee that every statement contained in a review is true or medically accurate.

SurgiScore cannot guarantee that documents, photographs, receipts, or other materials provided by users have not been altered, fabricated, misunderstood, or submitted without authorization.

A “Verified,” “Verified Review,” or similar designation means only that the submission satisfied SurgiScore's applicable verification process at that time.

7. REVIEW MODERATION

SurgiScore reserves the right, but does not undertake a general obligation, to review, investigate, moderate, reject, restrict, edit, disable, or remove User Content when reasonably appropriate.

SurgiScore may take action regarding content that:

SurgiScore does not guarantee that objectionable, inaccurate, fraudulent, or unlawful content will always be discovered or immediately removed.

8. NEGATIVE REVIEWS

SurgiScore does not remove a review merely because it is negative, critical, unfavorable, or disputed by the healthcare professional being reviewed.

A surgeon's disagreement with a review does not by itself establish that the review is false or violates SurgiScore's policies.

However, negative reviews are subject to the same rules as all other User Content.

SurgiScore may restrict or remove a negative or positive review if SurgiScore reasonably determines that it violates these Terms, applicable law, a valid legal requirement, or SurgiScore's applicable review policies.

9. SURGISCORE'S INDEPENDENCE FROM SURGEONS

SURGISCORE IS AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW PLATFORM.

SURGISCORE DOES NOT ACCEPT PAYMENTS, SPONSORSHIPS, ADVERTISING FEES, COMMISSIONS, REFERRAL FEES, SUBSCRIPTION FEES, PROMOTIONAL FEES, GIFTS, OR OTHER COMPENSATION FROM SURGEONS OR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS IN EXCHANGE FOR PROMOTION, RANKING, REVIEW MANAGEMENT, OR PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT ON THE PLATFORM.

SurgiScore does not enter into paid relationships with surgeons or healthcare professionals for the purpose of promoting their medical services.

Surgeons and healthcare professionals cannot pay SurgiScore to:

SurgiScore does not partner or collaborate with surgeons, healthcare professionals, medical practices, clinics, hospitals, healthcare facilities, representatives, or marketing agencies for the purpose of manipulating reviews.

10. NO PAY-TO-PLAY REVIEW SYSTEM

SURGISCORE DOES NOT OPERATE A PAY-TO-PLAY REVIEW SYSTEM.

A surgeon's financial resources cannot be used to purchase a better SurgiScore rating or preferential treatment.

SurgiScore does not accept payment from a surgeon to remove legitimate criticism.

SurgiScore does not sell positive reviews.

SurgiScore does not allow surgeons to purchase higher ratings or rankings.

SurgiScore does not accept compensation from surgeons in exchange for altering the presentation of independent reviews for the purpose of misleading users.

The integrity of the review system is intended to remain independent from financial relationships with the healthcare professionals being reviewed.

11. FREE PROFILE CLAIMING FOR ALL ELIGIBLE SURGEONS

ALL ELIGIBLE SURGEONS AND HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS MAY REQUEST TO CLAIM THEIR SURGISCORE PROFILE FREE OF CHARGE.

SURGISCORE DOES NOT CHARGE A SURGEON OR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL TO CLAIM THEIR PROFILE.

A surgeon is not required to purchase:

as a condition of requesting to claim their SurgiScore profile.

SurgiScore may require reasonable identity, professional, licensing, or credential verification before approving a profile claim.

12. CLAIMING A PROFILE DOES NOT GIVE CONTROL OVER REVIEWS

Claiming a profile allows an eligible surgeon or healthcare professional to establish their association with the relevant profile and, where available, manage or request corrections to eligible factual information.

CLAIMING A PROFILE DOES NOT GIVE A SURGEON CONTROL OVER PATIENT REVIEWS.

A surgeon who claims a profile cannot use that status to:

Claimed and unclaimed profiles are subject to SurgiScore's applicable review and moderation policies.

13. EQUAL ACCESS TO PROFILE CLAIMING

SurgiScore intends to make profile claiming available on the same free basis to eligible surgeons and healthcare professionals represented on the Platform, subject to verification requirements, technical availability, these Terms, and applicable law.

A surgeon does not receive preferential treatment in the review system simply because the surgeon has claimed their profile.

An unclaimed profile does not mean that the surgeon disputes, approves, disapproves, or is aware of the profile or its reviews.

14. CLAIMED OR VERIFIED PROFILE DOES NOT MEAN ENDORSEMENT

A “Claimed,” “Verified,” or similar profile designation means only that SurgiScore completed its applicable process for associating the healthcare professional with that profile.

A CLAIMED PROFILE DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE SURGEON PAID, SPONSORED, PARTNERED WITH, OR WAS ENDORSED BY SURGISCORE.

SurgiScore's verification of a professional's identity or profile does not constitute a guarantee regarding:

15. PROFILE INFORMATION AND CORRECTIONS

A surgeon who claims a profile may be permitted to provide or request corrections to factual information such as:

SurgiScore may independently review requested changes and may request supporting documentation.

A surgeon's ability to correct factual professional information does not extend to rewriting or deleting independent patient opinions merely because the surgeon disagrees with them.

16. SURGEON REVIEW DISPUTES

A surgeon, healthcare professional, medical practice, facility, or authorized representative may report a review that they reasonably believe is:

Submitting a dispute does not guarantee removal.

SurgiScore may request additional information from the reviewer or healthcare professional and may take appropriate action consistent with these Terms and applicable law.

SurgiScore is not a court, medical board, or malpractice tribunal and does not adjudicate medical malpractice disputes or determine legal liability between patients and healthcare professionals.

17. NO REFERRAL COMMISSIONS

SurgiScore does not receive commissions or referral fees from surgeons or healthcare professionals based on a user's decision to contact, consult with, select, or undergo treatment with a particular healthcare professional.

SurgiScore does not act as the surgeon's agent, employee, representative, broker, or medical referral service.

18. SURGEON PROFILES

A surgeon's appearance on SurgiScore does not necessarily mean that the surgeon created, claimed, approved, sponsored, or endorsed the profile.

Profile information may originate from healthcare professionals, users, public records, publicly available sources, or other lawful sources.

SurgiScore does not guarantee that every piece of profile information is complete, current, or error-free.

19. NO ENDORSEMENT OF SURGEONS

The presence of a surgeon on SurgiScore does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by SurgiScore.

Ratings, reviews, scores, badges, verification status, photographs, or profile completeness should not be interpreted as a SurgiScore guarantee regarding the quality or safety of a healthcare professional.

Users should independently investigate healthcare professionals before making healthcare decisions.

Relevant information may include:

20. SURGISCORE SCORES AND RATINGS

Any SurgiScore score, rating, ranking, badge, or similar metric is provided for informational purposes.

Scores may be calculated using reviews, ratings, profile information, algorithms, or other factors determined by SurgiScore.

A SurgiScore score does not constitute:

SurgiScore may modify its scoring methodology as the Platform develops.

21. MEDICAL AND SURGICAL OUTCOMES

Medicine and surgery involve inherent risks, and outcomes vary between patients.

SurgiScore cannot guarantee the outcome of any consultation, medical treatment, cosmetic procedure, surgery, or healthcare service.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, SurgiScore is not responsible for medical complications or outcomes resulting from treatment provided by independent healthcare professionals.

This may include infection, complications, dissatisfaction, scarring, disability, financial loss, emotional distress, adverse outcomes, or death.

Certain SurgiScore features or content may require payment by users.

Prices and applicable features will be displayed before purchase.

Payment for access does not guarantee that a user will find the information useful or that the information will lead to a particular medical, financial, or personal outcome.

27. THIRD-PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSORS

Purchases made through Apple's App Store, Google Play, or another payment provider may also be subject to that provider's terms, billing procedures, subscription requirements, and refund policies.

Where applicable, refund requests may need to be submitted directly to the payment provider through which the purchase was made.

28. REFUNDS

SurgiScore is an online and mobile application operated by Gushii Tech Inc. and intended to be accessible to users throughout the United States. Surgeon and healthcare professional profiles on the Platform may relate to professionals practicing in any U.S. state or jurisdiction.

Because SurgiScore operates as a nationwide digital platform, users and healthcare professionals may be located in different states, and certain state-specific laws may apply depending on the circumstances.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive, restrict, or eliminate any consumer right or protection that cannot lawfully be waived under applicable federal or state law.

SurgiScore does not represent that laws governing healthcare professionals, medical licensing, privacy, consumer protection, professional advertising, defamation, or other matters are identical in every state.

44. GOVERNING LAW

Except where applicable law requires otherwise, these Terms and disputes arising out of or relating to SurgiScore shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

This governing-law provision does not eliminate or restrict rights or protections provided by applicable federal law or mandatory laws of a user's state of residence that cannot legally be waived by contract.

47. SURGISCORE IS A NATIONWIDE INFORMATION PLATFORM

SurgiScore provides a technology platform through which users may access information and share experiences concerning surgeons and healthcare professionals throughout the United States.

Healthcare professionals appearing on SurgiScore remain independent from SurgiScore.
