Disclaimer

Pavilion publishes editorial content about travel, culture, medicine, and education in China. The information provided is general in nature and is intended for informational and educational purposes only. This page sets out the specific disclaimers that apply to our content.

Medical content disclaimer

Pavilion is not a medical service. We are not doctors, hospitals, or healthcare providers. Articles in our Medical section are journalistic in nature, drawn from publicly available data, our own field research, and interviews with providers and patients.

The information in our Medical section is not medical advice. It is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified, licensed physician. Specifically:

• Pricing data we publish is approximate and reflects quotes obtained at a specific point in time. Actual prices vary by patient, treatment plan, and currency exchange rates.
• Procedural risks, expected outcomes, and recovery times described in our articles are general overviews. Your individual situation may differ substantially.
• Any procedure performed abroad carries risks that are not present, or are managed differently, when treatment is performed at home — including post-operative care logistics, complications, follow-up access, and legal recourse.
• We do not endorse any specific clinic, hospital, physician, or procedure. Where we describe a particular institution, we describe what we observed; we do not warrant their work.

Before pursuing any medical procedure, consult your home physician. Discuss the procedure, the provider, the timing, and the post-operative coordination. Bring your home physician's contact details with you. Verify that any provider you visit is appropriately licensed in their jurisdiction.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services. Do not rely on travel content for urgent care decisions.

Travel content disclaimer

Visa policies, payment systems, transportation infrastructure, and entry requirements change. We make reasonable efforts to keep our travel content current and to date-stamp articles that contain time-sensitive information. However:

• Visa eligibility, duration, and procedures can change without notice. Always verify current requirements at the relevant Chinese embassy or consulate before traveling.
• Prices for transportation, accommodation, and services fluctuate. Our cost estimates are illustrative.
• Local conditions — weather, construction, regulatory changes — can affect what is open or accessible.

We are not a licensed travel agency. We do not arrange bookings, issue tickets, or handle the logistics of any specific trip. Pavilion may offer manual introductions to local student city friends for practical companionship and translation help, but those introductions are not licensed guide, legal, medical, or emergency services.

Educational content disclaimer

Information about academic programs, tuition, admission requirements, and visa logistics is presented based on the best information available at the time of writing. Programs change their offerings, pricing, and admission criteria. Always verify current details directly with the institution before applying or enrolling.

AI-generated content disclaimer

Our itinerary planning tool uses large language models. AI output may contain factual errors, outdated information, or fabricated details ("hallucinations"). The tool is intended as a starting point for trip planning, not as a final or authoritative answer. You are responsible for independently verifying any specific facts the tool provides — particularly regarding visa rules, opening hours, prices, and medical claims.

Editorial independence

Pavilion's editorial content is independent of any future commercial relationships. If we introduce sponsorships, affiliate links, paid city-friend matching, or other commercial arrangements, we will disclose them on the relevant page. We do not accept percentage-of-procedure commissions from medical providers.

Limitation of reliance

By using Pavilion, you acknowledge that you will not rely solely on our content for medical, legal, financial, or other significant decisions. You will conduct your own due diligence and consult qualified professionals as appropriate to your circumstances. Conflux Labs Ltd, its directors, employees, and contributors disclaim any liability arising from reliance on our content.
