Practitioner Directory — Terms

Last updated: June 8, 2026
Our role: qiboo.ai operates an informational directory and education platform. We do not provide medical care, and we do not endorse, recommend, rank, or guarantee any practitioner or clinic. Always confirm a practitioner’s current licence with the relevant regulatory body, and assess their suitability for your needs, before booking or treatment.

1. What the directory is

The qiboo.ai directory lists acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine clinics, teaching institutions and licensed practitioners to help people locate care. It is provided for general information only. Inclusion in the directory is not an endorsement, certification of competence, or a recommendation by qiboo.ai.

2. Sources & “Unclaimed” listings

Listings come from two sources: (a) information submitted by the practitioner or clinic themselves, and (b) publicly available information about institutions and clinics (for example, a teaching college’s public business name and website). Listings labelled “Unclaimed” are drawn from public information, have not been verified by qiboo.ai, and may be incomplete or out of date. We do not publish a practitioner’s personal photograph, personal phone number, or personal email in an unclaimed listing.

3. “Verified” means licence-checked only

A “Verified licence” badge means a practitioner has claimed their profile and our team has reviewed evidence that they hold a relevant licence at the time of review. It is not a judgement of clinical quality, safety, or outcomes, and licences can lapse or change after verification. Verify current status independently.

4. Claiming & editing your profile

If you are the practitioner (or are authorised to act for the clinic), you may claim your listing by signing in and submitting licence details for review. Once claimed and verified, you control your profile within these terms: you may add or remove your contact details, website, specialties and biography. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of the information you provide, and you grant qiboo.ai permission to display it in the directory. You must not impersonate another person, make false credential or outcome claims, or list a practice you are not authorised to represent.

5. Removal & correction (opt-out)

Any practitioner or clinic may request correction or removal of their listing at any time, for any reason or no reason, by emailing directory@qiboo.ai. We honour removal requests within 24 hours. You do not need an account to request removal of a listing about you.

6. Messaging

Where a practitioner has claimed their profile and chosen to receive messages, you may contact them through qiboo. Messages are subject to the practitioner’s privacy settings and our community rules; they may accept or decline. qiboo.ai is not a party to, and is not responsible for, the content of communications or any resulting arrangement between you and a practitioner.

7. No medical advice; assumption of responsibility

Nothing in the directory is medical advice or a referral. Choosing and engaging a practitioner is your decision and responsibility. Acupuncture and related techniques carry real risks and must only be performed by appropriately licensed practitioners. See our full Medical Disclaimer.

8. Limitation of liability

The directory is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, qiboo.ai and its operators are not liable for any loss or harm arising from reliance on directory information, from any practitioner’s acts or omissions, or from any communication or treatment arranged through the directory. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the minimum permitted by law.

9. Data protection

Our handling of directory data — including the lawful basis for listing public institutional information, what we do not collect before a profile is claimed, and your correction/removal rights — is described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Changes & contact

We may update these terms; changes are posted here with a new date. Questions or requests: directory@qiboo.ai.
