Terms of Use

Acceptance

By using Ask a Doctor ("the app"), you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

What the app does

Ask a Doctor uses artificial intelligence to provide general health information only. It can discuss symptoms, suggest self-care, interpret lab values you upload, and help you decide when professional care is appropriate.

AI responses are generated by OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini model based on the message and any context you choose to share. The app passes your messages to OpenAI and returns the AI-generated text to you.

The app is not a medical doctor, a diagnosis, a prescription, a substitute for professional medical advice, or an emergency service. It does not establish a doctor-patient relationship.

Medical Emergency

For chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, breathing difficulty, anaphylaxis, suicidal thoughts, or any life-threatening situation, call your local emergency number immediately (112 in Turkey / EU, 911 in the US, 999 in the UK). Do not rely on this app for emergencies.

AI limitations

AI responses are produced by a statistical language model and may be:

You are solely responsible for any decisions or actions you take based on AI responses. Always consult a licensed healthcare professional before changing medication, starting a new treatment, or for any persistent or significant symptom.

Eligibility

You must be 17 years of age or older to use the app. The app is not designed to provide pediatric advice; for children's health concerns, consult a pediatrician directly. Parents and guardians should not use the app on behalf of a minor for medical decisions.

Acceptable use

You agree to use the app only for personal, non-commercial, lawful purposes. You will not:

Content you submit

You retain ownership of the messages, images, and files you submit. By submitting them, you grant us a limited license to forward them to OpenAI for the sole purpose of generating a response. We do not claim ownership of your content and do not use it to train models.

You are responsible for the content you submit. Do not submit content that is not yours or that contains another person's identifiable information without their consent.

Advertising

The app is supported by interstitial ads served via Google AdMob. Ad behavior is governed by Google's policies. You may limit ad tracking through your device's privacy settings.

Third-party services

The app relies on third-party services to function: OpenAI for AI responses, Google AdMob for advertising. Your use of the app constitutes acceptance of those providers' terms where applicable. We are not responsible for changes, outages, or errors caused by these third parties.

No warranty

The app is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including (without limitation) warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI responses will be correct.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the developer be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including, without limitation, damages for personal injury, missed diagnosis, delayed treatment, loss of profits, or loss of data — arising out of or related to your use of the app or your reliance on AI responses, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the developer harmless from any claim, demand, or damage arising from your misuse of the app, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, without notice, if these terms are violated. You may stop using the app at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law) will remain in effect.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date below. Continued use of the app after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Istanbul, Turkey, except where applicable consumer protection laws provide otherwise.
