Terms of use

1. Accepting these terms

By using ivfcheck.org you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. If you use the site on behalf of someone else — a parent, a patient, a client — you confirm you are entitled to do so.

2. What this service is

IVF Check restates entries from the National ART & Surrogacy Registry, published by the Department of Health Research, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, and explains provisions of the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021 and the ART (Regulation) Rules, 2022 in plain language.

It is an independent reading of a public record. It is not a government service, not an official publication, not a certification body, and not a provider of medical, legal, financial or regulatory advice.

3. How you may use it

You may read, print and share the pages freely, including commercially — for example, quoting a page in a news report or sending one to a patient.

You may not:

• present the site, or a page from it, as an official government publication or as an endorsement by any authority;
• represent that a clinic's presence on this site is a mark of quality, safety or approval;
• use automated means to request the site at a rate that degrades it for other people;
• remove or obscure the disclaimers that appear on every page;
• use the site to harass, threaten or defame any clinic, doctor or patient.

Automated access for research or archiving is welcome at a reasonable rate. If you want a bulk copy of the underlying data, take it from the national registry itself, which is the primary source.

4. Text, design and data

The written explanations, the page design, the questions and the code are ours. Please attribute them if you reproduce them.

The underlying facts — clinic names, addresses, registration numbers, levels, issuing authorities — are published by the Government of India and are restated here without alteration. We claim no ownership over them. The certificate scans are hosted by the national registry and are linked, not copied.

Tabler icons are used under the MIT licence.

5. No warranty

The site is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant that it is complete, accurate, current or uninterrupted. The register itself can be wrong, stale or missing entries, and states can upload, change or withdraw records without notice. Text recognition of scanned certificates can misread a date or a name.

Where a fact matters, check it against the certificate in front of you and against the national registry. Do not rely on this site as the only source for a decision.

6. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, this site — including a decision about treatment, a decision about money, or any loss caused by a clinic. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

7. Links to other sites

We link to government portals and to the national registry. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or accuracy.

8. Changes and availability

We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the site at any time. These terms may be revised; the date at the top of this page is the date of the current version, and continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts at Mumbai, Maharashtra.

If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.
