Terms, Payments & Cancellations

Important information about our services, payment policies, and cancellation terms.

Terms and Conditions

1. Service Description

Hub Dental operates as a dental tourism platform connecting international patients with top-tier dental clinics in Brazil. We coordinate comprehensive packages including dental treatments, accommodations, transfers, and concierge services. Hub Dental acts as an intermediary and is not directly responsible for the dental procedures performed by our partner clinics.

2. Partner Clinic Responsibilities

All dental treatments are performed by licensed professionals at our partner clinics. Each clinic maintains its own professional liability insurance and adheres to Brazilian dental regulations and international quality standards. Treatment outcomes and clinical decisions remain the responsibility of the treating dentist and clinic.

3. Patient Responsibilities

Patients must provide accurate medical history, follow pre and post-treatment instructions, attend all scheduled appointments, and maintain open communication with both Hub Dental and the treating clinic. Patients are responsible for obtaining necessary travel documents, travel insurance, and ensuring they are medically fit to travel.

4. Treatment Guarantees and Warranties

Treatment guarantees and warranties are provided directly by the partner clinic performing your procedure. Specific terms vary by treatment type and will be clearly communicated during your consultation. Hub Dental facilitates communication and coordination but does not provide independent warranties on dental work.

5. Limitation of Liability

Hub Dental's liability is limited to the coordination services provided. We are not liable for treatment outcomes, medical complications, travel disruptions, or force majeure events. We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel and medical insurance to protect your investment.

6. Privacy and Data Protection

We protect your personal and medical information in accordance with Brazilian data protection laws (LGPD) and international privacy standards. Your information is shared only with relevant partner clinics and service providers necessary to deliver your dental tourism experience.

Payment Methods & Policies

Accepted Payment Methods

We accept credit cards and bank transfers (wire transfers) for all bookings. Payment can be made in USD, EUR, or BRL depending on your preference and location.

Payment Structure

To secure your booking and begin treatment planning, we require:

  • 20% deposit on the total treatment cost
  • 100% payment of ground services (hotel accommodations, airport transfers, city tours, and concierge services)

Payment Plans

We offer flexible payment plans with installments to make your dental tourism experience more accessible. However, full payment of both the treatment deposit and ground services must be completed at least 30 days before your scheduled arrival date. Contact us during your virtual consultation to discuss customized payment plan options.

Balance Payment

The remaining 80% of your treatment cost is due before your treatment begins. This can be paid upon arrival at the clinic or via bank transfer before your first appointment, as coordinated with your treatment coordinator.

Important Payment Deadline

All deposit and ground service payments must be completed at least 30 days before your scheduled services begin to ensure proper coordination and booking confirmation.
