Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions explain the rules that apply when using the Best Clinic Asia Pacific website, submitting a nomination, viewing recognition records or using BCAP verification features.
Using the BCAP Website
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Best Clinic Asia Pacific ("BCAP", "we", "us" or "our") website and related website features.
By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms. If you do not agree with them, you should discontinue use of the website.
These Terms are intended as general website terms and should be read together with the BCAP Privacy Policy and any specific terms presented with a nomination, recognition or other service.
Agreement to These Terms
By accessing, browsing or using the BCAP website, you agree to use the website in accordance with these Terms and applicable requirements.
If you are using the website on behalf of an organisation, you are responsible for ensuring that any information you submit is authorised and appropriate for that purpose.
Permitted Use of the Website
The BCAP website is provided for informational, nomination, recognition and verification-related purposes.
You may use the website to:
- learn about BCAP and its recognition programme;
- view award categories and published recognition records;
- submit a nomination;
- verify a BCAP recognition reference;
- contact BCAP regarding relevant enquiries; and
- access other information made available through the website.
Nature of BCAP Recognition
BCAP is a healthcare recognition platform. A BCAP recognition identifies a published area of healthcare recognition associated with a recipient, recognition title, category and year.
BCAP recognition is not intended to constitute:
- a government licence or statutory approval;
- professional registration;
- formal healthcare accreditation;
- medical certification; or
- an unrestricted ranking of all healthcare organisations across Asia Pacific.
Recipients should use the published BCAP recognition title, category and year accurately and should not present the recognition as a broader claim than the published record supports.
Submission and Review of Nominations
A nomination may be submitted through the BCAP website by providing relevant information about a healthcare organisation and the proposed area of recognition.
By submitting a nomination, you confirm that:
- the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge;
- you are not knowingly submitting misleading or false information;
- you have a reasonable basis for providing any information or public links included in the submission; and
- the nomination may be reviewed in connection with the BCAP recognition programme.
Submission of a nomination does not guarantee selection, recognition, publication or any particular outcome.
Recognition Reference Lookup
The BCAP verification feature is intended to help users check whether a recognition reference corresponds with a published BCAP recognition record.
A successful verification confirms the presence of a BCAP recognition record and the information associated with that record at the time of the lookup.
Verification does not represent confirmation of professional licensing, regulatory status, medical quality guarantees or government approval.
Website Content Is Not Clinical Advice
BCAP is a recognition platform and does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment advice or individual clinical recommendations.
Information about healthcare organisations or recognition recipients is provided for recognition and informational purposes only and should not replace consultation with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Website and Recipient Information
BCAP aims to present website information clearly and responsibly. However, information may change over time and may not always reflect the most recent operational, organisational or public details.
Where information relates to a third-party healthcare organisation, users should confirm time-sensitive details directly with the relevant organisation where appropriate.
BCAP may update, correct, clarify or remove website content where reasonably necessary.
External Websites and Services
The BCAP website may contain links to third-party websites, healthcare organisations, social media platforms or other services.
These third-party services operate independently from BCAP. BCAP does not control their content, availability, security, privacy practices or terms.
Accessing an external website through a BCAP link is at the user's own discretion and subject to the relevant third party's terms.
BCAP Brand and Website Content
Unless otherwise stated, the BCAP name, website design, recognition materials, written content, graphics and related programme materials are owned by or used with permission by BCAP.
You may view and use website content for personal, informational or legitimate business reference purposes. You may not reproduce, modify, republish, sell or misleadingly present BCAP materials without appropriate permission.
Recognition recipients may use authorised BCAP recognition materials subject to any applicable usage guidance and only in a manner consistent with the published recognition record.
Responsible Use of the Website
You must not use the BCAP website in a way that is unlawful, harmful, deceptive or disruptive.
This includes attempting to:
- submit knowingly false, fraudulent or misleading information;
- impersonate another person or organisation;
- interfere with website operation or security;
- introduce malicious software or harmful code;
- gain unauthorised access to systems or data;
- misuse recognition references or recipient information; or
- misrepresent a nomination as a confirmed BCAP recognition.
Changes, Maintenance and Access
BCAP may update, suspend, modify or discontinue website features where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, operational or programme-related reasons.
We do not guarantee that the website or every feature will always be available without interruption or error.
General Website Disclaimer
The BCAP website is provided for general informational and recognition-related purposes. While reasonable care may be taken in presenting information, BCAP does not guarantee that all website content will be complete, uninterrupted or suitable for every purpose.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, BCAP will not be responsible for losses arising solely from reliance on website information where the user should reasonably verify time-sensitive, clinical, regulatory or third-party information independently.
A BCAP recognition record should not be used as a substitute for checking a healthcare provider's professional registration, licensing, regulatory status or suitability for an individual's care.
Updates to the Terms
BCAP may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in website features, recognition processes, operational practices or applicable requirements.
The revised Terms will be published on this page with an updated effective or revision date where appropriate.
Continued use of the website after updated Terms are published will be subject to the revised Terms.
