This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

5.11 In addition to the Cancellation Fees, you acknowledge and agree where we incur additional expenses, we reserve the right to charge you for such additional expenses provided that they are reasonably and necessarily incurred.

9.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this Contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen (for example if you discussed it with us during the Booking process).
9.2 All travel and accommodation is booked at your own risk. In the event that your Consultation with the Dentist/Dental Surgeon reveals an underlying health-related issue that prevents the Dentist/Dental Surgeon from being able to carry out your Dental Procedure, we are not responsible for any costs incurred by you in travelling to and staying in Turkey.

10.2 Whilst we will always seek to assist you with any problems which you may encounter after your Dental Procedure, please note that we are not liable for any non-life threatening post-operative complications which you experience if you fail to contact us to allow us to assist you in rectifying the position, where you subsequently seek medical assistance elsewhere.

11.4 If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide your Dental Procedure, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
