Is there any medical law in SK about deposit? I put my deposit at a clinic for a surgery months away (2 months to be exact), they never mentioned anything about it being non-refundable. 2 days after making the deposit, I asked if I can get it back but they say cancellation fee is 50% and only 50% is refundable. This was not mentioned upfront. A lot of other clinics I know refund until 2 weeks or so before surgery.
I asked on another forum and was told "The law specifically states that a clinic can create its own deposit refund policy, it can be time based or a percentage based refund that corresponds to certain periods of advanced notice (2 weeks, 1 week, 3 days, 72 hours, 24 hours, same day, etc...), or be non-refundable whatsoever. But they must have provided you with some reasonable informed consent (email, signed document, detailed text) about the cancellation policy and its penalties. If they did not do this, then you are entitled to the full refund."
Is it true and is there anything can be done about this? Thanks all for your input!
