01SERVICE SCOPE
Welcome to IVF THINK TANK (hereinafter referred to as "the Platform" or "we").
IVF THINK TANK is an overseas assisted reproductive medicine information platform designed for Chinese-speaking users. It is dedicated to providing services such as profiles of fertility clinics and doctors, introductions to assisted reproductive technologies, references on success rates and costs, medical knowledge, destination comparisons, and guides for seeking medical care abroad.
These Terms of Service outline the relevant rights, obligations, and boundaries of liability associated with your use of this platform. Please read these terms carefully before accessing or using the platform. For content involving your significant rights and interests, we will provide appropriate notices in accordance with applicable laws; for matters that require your separate consent under applicable laws, we will seek such consent separately.
If you do not agree with the relevant provisions of these Terms, please cease using the corresponding services.
This platform primarily provides services for organizing, querying, displaying, and comparing information related to overseas assisted reproductive technologies. The content may include:
The specific services provided are subject to the features actually available on the website and the descriptions on the relevant pages.
Unless otherwise explicitly stated, this platform does not directly provide disease diagnosis, medical examinations, prescription issuance, drug treatment, surgery, or any other medical services that require implementation by qualified medical institutions and professional personnel.
The hospital and physician information provided on this platform is for informational reference and comparison purposes only. Browsing or using this platform does not establish a doctor-patient relationship with any medical institution, nor does it constitute personalized medical recommendations by the platform regarding specific hospitals, physicians, or treatment plans.
If you require medical assessment or treatment advice, please consult a qualified healthcare professional directly.
Actual treatment outcomes for assisted reproduction are influenced by individual physical conditions, age, medical history, treatment plans, and other factors. This platform does not guarantee any specific pregnancy, live birth, or other treatment results, nor does it ensure that users will find hospitals, doctors, or treatment plans on this platform that meet their personal needs.
02Sources and Accuracy
This platform may compile content based on information from government regulatory authorities, official registration systems, hospital websites, publicly available medical literature, materials provided by healthcare institutions, and other verifiable sources.
For data labeled as official sources, we will provide links to the original sources whenever possible to allow users to independently verify them. For information published by institutions themselves, third-party materials, or other non-official sources, we will explain their origin and nature based on the actual circumstances.
Hospital registration information, physician practice credentials, assisted reproductive service offerings, treatment costs, success rate statistics, and relevant regulations may change over time.
We verify and update key information based on actual circumstances, and provide source citations and the most recent verification dates whenever possible. However, due to delays in updates by information publishers, incomplete public records, or other objective factors, we cannot guarantee that all pages are complete, accurate, or reflect the latest developments at any given time.
Success rates published by different hospitals or regions may be based on varying statistical metrics, such as clinical pregnancy rate, live birth rate, outcomes per single embryo transfer, or results per treatment cycle. These data are not necessarily directly comparable.
Costs may also vary due to treatment plans, medications, examinations, embryo freezing, additional services, currencies, and other factors.
Users should interpret the relevant information in conjunction with data sources, statistical scope, quotation dates, and project inclusion criteria, and directly verify the latest updates with healthcare institutions before making any decisions.
The information provided on this platform is intended to help users understand and compare relevant options, and does not constitute a guarantee of any specific medical institution, doctor, or service.
For important medical, cost, eligibility, and regulatory information, we recommend that you verify further through the official channels of the relevant healthcare institution or competent authority.
03MEDICAL DISCLAIMER
The medical information, technical descriptions, success rate data, and other related content on this platform are not intended to replace diagnosis, evaluation, or treatment advice provided by professional healthcare practitioners based on individual circumstances.
You should not make decisions to start, stop, or change any treatment plan or medication regimen based solely on articles, data, calculation results, or other content on this platform.

This platform does not warrant the actual clinical processes, service arrangements, or individual treatment outcomes provided by medical institutions.
The inclusion of hospital or physician profiles on this platform does not constitute a ranking, endorsement, or guarantee of their clinical expertise, treatment outcomes, or suitability for individual patients.
Information regarding overseas assisted reproductive regulations, service eligibility, visas, entry requirements, accommodation, and travel arrangements is provided for general reference only and does not constitute formal legal, immigration, or other professional advice tailored to individual circumstances.
Please verify current requirements with the relevant competent authorities, medical institutions, or qualified professionals before making any medical or travel arrangements.
The due date, gestational age, ovulation period, BMI, and cost estimation tools on this platform are provided for basic calculation or budget reference purposes only.
Calculation results may be influenced by factors such as input information, calculation methods, and applicable conditions, and cannot substitute for medical assessments or formal quotes issued by healthcare institutions.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we shall determine liability on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with applicable law for any losses arising from changes in third-party information sources, inaccuracies in user-provided materials, users’ failure to verify critical information, or causes beyond our platform’s reasonable control.
