3. VERIFICATION PROCESS

NMC/SMC registration verified against NMR within 5 working days of complete application receipt. Approval or rejection communicated by email. Annual re-verification of all active Practitioners conducted. Submission of false, misleading, forged, or materially inaccurate information may result in immediate suspension or permanent deactivation, without prejudice to OPLive App's other legal rights and remedies. OPLive App relies upon information made available through official regulatory databases and documents furnished by the Healthcare Provider. OPLive App shall not be responsible for inaccuracies, omissions, delays, or changes in records maintained by regulatory authorities or submitted by the Healthcare Provider.

4. LISTING PROTOCOL

Doctor listing on OPLive App is governed by OPLive App's merit-based relevance algorithm considering: User ratings and feedback, appointment availability, response rate, compliance status, and specialisation match. Listing order is NOT solely determined by OPLive App management. OPLive App is not liable for changes in listing position resulting from algorithm updates or User feedback. OPLive App reserves the absolute right to suspend, delist, restrict, or permanently remove any Healthcare Provider from the Platform at its sole discretion where required for legal compliance, patient safety, breach of Platform policies, regulatory directions, or protection of the Platform's reputation. The decision of OPLive App regarding onboarding, listing, suspension, delisting, or reinstatement shall be final and binding, subject to applicable law.

5. DOCTOR CONSENT DECLARATIONS

Every Healthcare Provider acknowledges that all consultations, diagnosis, prescriptions, treatment decisions, referrals, medical certificates, and professional advice are rendered independently in the exercise of his/her own professional judgment and shall remain solely his/her legal and professional responsibility.

5.1 Consent to Platform Listing

6.1 Right to Suspend

OPLive App may suspend or deactivate any Healthcare Provider immediately where it reasonably believes continued listing may expose patients, OPLive App, or any third party to legal, regulatory, reputational, or operational risk.

7. LIMITATION OF PLATFORM RESPONSIBILITY

OPLive App's role is limited to providing technology services facilitating interaction between patients and independent Healthcare Providers. OPLive App neither supervises nor controls the professional judgment exercised by Healthcare Providers and shall not be responsible for any diagnosis, prescription, treatment, clinical outcome, or medical negligence arising from consultations conducted through the Platform.

OPLive App reserves the right to amend this Policy from time to time to comply with applicable law, regulatory requirements, technological developments, or business requirements. Continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of such amendments.
