Welcome to SOVARA HEALTH / SOVARA LIFE (“we,” “our,” or “us”). By accessing our website https://sovaralife.com or booking any service, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. These terms apply to both elective ultrasound services and diagnostic ultrasound services.
1. SERVICE CLASSIFICATION (IMPORTANT LEGAL CLARITY)
SOVARA LIFE offers two distinct categories of ultrasound services:
A. Elective Ultrasound Services (Non-Medical)
Elective ultrasounds are provided for bonding, keepsake, and entertainment purposes only.
You acknowledge:
- These services are not diagnostic
- No medical interpretation or diagnosis is provided
- These sessions do not replace prenatal care or medical testing
- Gender determination and imaging outcomes are not guaranteed
- Image quality depends on fetal position, gestational age, and maternal factors
Elective sessions are clearly separate from medical care and should not be used for clinical decision-making.
B. Diagnostic Ultrasound Services (Medical)
Diagnostic ultrasounds are medical imaging studies performed by ARDMS-certified sonographers and may be interpreted by a licensed radiologist when applicable.
You acknowledge:
- A valid provider order is required
- The exam is performed for medical evaluation purposes
- Results are sent to your ordering provider and/or patient per protocol
- SOVARA LIFE does not diagnose or treat medical conditions
All medical care decisions remain the responsibility of your healthcare provider.
2. MEDICAL DISCLAIMER (APPLIES TO ALL SERVICES)
You understand and agree that:
- Ultrasound imaging has natural limitations
- Results may be affected by fetal position, fluid levels, anatomy, and gestational age
