Terms of Use

1.Who we are

This website and the educational event Deep Plane Málaga & Marbella 2026 (the "Event") are organised and operated exclusively by Meridian Global Institute, a brand owned and operated by:

Throughout this document, "we", "us", "our", "the Organiser" and "Meridian" refer to MD Serviços e Saúde Ltda trading as Meridian Global Institute. "You", "your" and "Participant" refer to the person registering for or attending the Event.

By registering for the Event, purchasing a place, or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. Please read them carefully before completing your registration. Our Refund & Cancellation Policy and Privacy Policy form part of these Terms.

2.Nature of the Event

The Event is a three-day continuing medical education programme in advanced facial surgery, held on 26, 27 and 28 November 2026:

• Days 1 and 2 — scientific sessions and hands-on anatomical dissection at the University of Málaga, Málaga, Spain.
• Day 3 — live surgery observation at Ocean Clinic Marbella, Marbella, Spain.

The Event is educational and scientific in nature. It is not a medical service, a treatment, a clinical consultation, or an offer of medical care to the public. Nothing on this website is directed at patients or prospective patients.

The Event does not confer any medical specialty, licence, board certification, accreditation, or authorisation to practise. Participants receive a certificate of attendance only, confirming presence at the programme. It is your sole responsibility to determine whether and how any technique presented may lawfully be applied within your own jurisdiction, scope of practice, training, and professional insurance coverage.

3.Eligibility

Attendance is restricted to qualified plastic surgeons holding a valid and current medical registration in their country of practice.

We reserve the right to request documentary proof of medical qualification and registration at any time, before or during the Event. Registration is not final until this verification is completed to our satisfaction.

If you do not meet the eligibility requirement, or if you decline or fail to provide the requested documentation, we will cancel your registration and refund any amount paid in full. This restriction exists because the programme includes human anatomical dissection and live surgery observation, both of which are lawfully limited to qualified medical professionals.

4.Registration and confirmation

Registration is completed through our official payment page, operated by the payment platform Pagaa (pagaa.com.br), which is linked from our registration page and from our official communications. Payment by international bank transfer is also accepted; contact us at contact@meridianglobalinstitute.com to arrange this.

A registration is confirmed only when both of the following have occurred:

1. full payment has been received and cleared; and
2. your professional eligibility under Section 3 has been verified.

You will receive written confirmation by email once your place is secured. Until you receive that confirmation, your place is not guaranteed.

Places are limited by the physical capacity of the anatomy laboratory and the surgical facility. Each dissection table is shared by two participants. Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

5.Price and payment

The standard registration fee for the Event is €7,900.00 (seven thousand nine hundred euros) per Participant.

Promotional rates

From time to time we may offer a promotional rate for a limited number of places and/or a limited period, applied at checkout with a discount code. The conditions of each promotional rate (price, number of places, deadline and code) are stated in the communication in which it is offered. When those conditions are met — the places are taken or the deadline passes — the standard fee applies.

Promotional rates cannot be combined with each other and are not applied retroactively to registrations already completed.

Instalments

Where offered at checkout, payment by instalments is provided by Pagaa and its banking partners. Any interest or charges for instalment payments are shown at checkout before you confirm payment.

Taxes and charges

The registration fee is the total amount payable to us. We do not add booking fees, administrative charges, or surcharges at checkout. Where any tax is legally due on this supply, it is included in the stated price and will not be charged to you separately.

Charges applied by your own bank or card issuer are outside our control and are your responsibility. These may include international transaction fees, currency conversion charges, cross-border fees, and any tax on foreign exchange transactions levied in your country of residence. These charges are collected by your financial institution, not by us, and we cannot refund them. If you wish to avoid them, international bank transfer is available as an alternative — contact us to arrange it.

6.What is included

Your registration fee includes:

• Full access to the three-day programme;
• Scientific sessions with the international faculty;
• Hands-on dissection on fresh frozen anatomical specimens, with faculty supervision throughout the laboratory;
• Live surgery observation at Ocean Clinic Marbella, subject to Section 9;
• Educational materials and certificate of attendance;
• Course tote bag with essential items;
• Coffee breaks and catering during programme hours;
• One dinner with faculty and participants;
• Access to the digital marketing class;
• Post-course support and mentorship, as described on the registration page.

7.What is not included

Your registration fee does not include:

• International or domestic flights;
• Accommodation of any kind;
• Airport transfers or transport between Málaga and Marbella;
• Travel insurance, medical insurance, or professional liability insurance;
• Visa fees or documentation costs;
• Meals outside programme hours;
• Any personal expenses.

Travel, accommodation and transport arrangements are made by you, at your own cost and risk. We strongly recommend that you do not book non-refundable travel until you have received written confirmation of your registration.

8.Cancellation by the Participant, refunds and transfers

You may cancel your registration by written notice to contact@meridianglobalinstitute.com. The full rules are set out in our Refund & Cancellation Policy; in summary:

• Cancellation received on or before 27 October 2026 (30 days or more before the first day of the Event): full refund of the registration fee paid.
• Cancellation received after 27 October 2026, including for any registration made after that date: no monetary refund. Instead, you may choose to transfer your place to another qualified plastic surgeon, or to transfer your registration to the next edition of the programme organised by Meridian Global Institute, as set out in the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Why the 30-day cutoff exists

The hands-on component of the programme requires fresh frozen human anatomical specimens, which are procured to order on the basis of confirmed participant numbers. Once ordered, they cannot be returned, resold, or reallocated, and the cost is incurred by us irrespective of attendance. The 30-day cutoff is the point at which we must place that order. It reflects a real and unrecoverable cost, not an arbitrary penalty.

Non-attendance

Failure to attend without a prior written cancellation or transfer request does not entitle you to any refund, credit or transfer.

9.Changes, postponement and cancellation by the Organiser

The programme, schedule, faculty, venues, surgical cases and techniques demonstrated are indicative and may change. Live surgery in particular depends on patient availability, patient consent, and clinical suitability on the day, and specific procedures cannot be guaranteed. We will make reasonable efforts to deliver a programme of equivalent scientific value and to notify you of material changes in advance.

Changes to individual faculty members, session order, or specific surgical cases do not entitle you to a refund.

If we cancel the Event entirely, you will receive a full refund of the registration fee, or the option to transfer your registration to a rescheduled edition, at your choice. If we postpone the Event, you may transfer your registration to the new date or request a full refund.

Our liability in the event of cancellation or postponement is limited to the registration fee you paid. We are not liable for flights, accommodation, transfers, visa costs, loss of professional income, or any other expense you incur in connection with the Event. This is why travel insurance is strongly recommended.

10.Faculty

The Event is organised exclusively by MD Serviços e Saúde Ltda, trading as Meridian Global Institute, which is solely responsible for its organisation, promotion, marketing, pricing and financial management.

Faculty members participate in the Event as independent invited speakers and instructors, in a scientific and educational capacity only. Faculty members are not organisers, promoters, partners, shareholders, or commercial beneficiaries of the Event, and they have no involvement in its organisation, promotion, marketing, pricing, or financial result. Where a faculty member is described as contributing to or leading part of the scientific programme, this refers exclusively to an academic role in shaping its educational content.

The appearance of any faculty member's name, image or institutional affiliation on this website or in our communications is for the purpose of identifying the scientific programme and does not constitute an endorsement of any commercial offer, product or service, nor a promotional statement by that individual or by any institution with which they are affiliated.

11.Anatomy laboratory: conduct and ethics

The dissection component uses human anatomical specimens obtained through lawful and ethically approved channels for medical education and research. Participation carries the following non-negotiable obligations:

• Specimens must be treated at all times with the dignity and respect owed to human remains.
• Photography, filming, screen capture and audio recording are strictly prohibited in the anatomy laboratory, without exception.
• All laboratory rules, safety protocols, and instructions issued by the University of Málaga and by the supervising faculty must be followed without exception.
• Protective equipment must be worn as directed.

Breach of these obligations will result in immediate removal from the laboratory and, at our discretion, from the remainder of the Event, without refund. Serious breaches may be reported to the relevant institution and to your professional regulator.

12.Live surgery: patient privacy

The live surgery component takes place in an operating environment involving real patients who have given informed consent to the presence of observing physicians.

• No photography, filming, screen capture or audio recording of any kind is permitted during live surgery.
• No information capable of identifying a patient may be recorded, shared, discussed outside the Event, or published in any form, including on social media.
• The instructions of the operating surgeon and the clinical team are final at all times.
• Access to the surgical environment is at the discretion of the host clinic and may be restricted or withdrawn for clinical reasons.

You are bound by medical confidentiality in respect of everything you observe. Breach of patient confidentiality will result in immediate exclusion from the Event without refund and may be reported to the relevant authorities and to your professional regulator.

13.Code of conduct

We are committed to a professional, respectful and safe environment for all participants, faculty, staff and host institution personnel. Harassment, discrimination, intimidation, and disruptive or unprofessional behaviour will not be tolerated.

We reserve the right to remove any person from the Event, without refund, for conduct that breaches these Terms, endangers others, breaches the rules of a host institution, or is incompatible with the professional standards expected of a registered physician.

14.Photography and recordings by the Organiser

We may photograph and record parts of the Event outside the anatomy laboratory and outside the surgical environment — for example, lecture sessions, networking moments and social activities — for documentation and promotional purposes.

By attending, you agree that your image may appear in such material. If you do not wish to appear, notify us in writing at contact@meridianglobalinstitute.com before or during the Event and we will make reasonable efforts to exclude you from published material and to remove you from material already published.

15.Intellectual property

All educational content presented at the Event, and all materials provided to participants — including slides, handouts, manuals, videos and digital resources — are protected by intellectual property rights belonging to us or to the respective faculty members.

Materials are provided for your personal professional education only. You may not reproduce, distribute, publish, resell, broadcast, or use them to deliver training to third parties without our prior written consent. Recording, streaming or transmitting any part of the Event is prohibited unless expressly authorised by us in writing.

The content of this website, including text, images, and the Meridian Global Institute and Deep Plane Málaga & Marbella names and logos, is our property and may not be reproduced without permission.

16.Travel, visas, insurance and health

You are solely responsible for:

• obtaining a valid passport and any visa or travel authorisation required for entry into Spain;
• arranging adequate travel and medical insurance;
• maintaining professional liability insurance appropriate to your practice;
• meeting any health, vaccination or entry requirements in force at the time of travel;
• your own health, safety and personal belongings during the Event.

We do not provide visa sponsorship. On request, we can issue a letter confirming your registration to support a visa application. Visa refusal is not grounds for a refund outside the terms set out in Section 8 — please apply early and consider refundable travel arrangements.

17.Limitation of liability

The Event provides education. It does not provide clinical supervision of your future practice, and it does not guarantee any clinical, surgical, professional or commercial outcome.

We make no representation that attendance will improve your surgical results, increase your patient volume, increase your revenue, or produce any specific professional or financial outcome. Any decision to apply a technique observed or practised at the Event is made by you, on your own clinical judgement, within your own scope of practice, and under your own professional responsibility and insurance.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or in connection with the Event and these Terms is limited to the registration fee you paid. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, loss of income, loss of opportunity, or costs of travel and accommodation.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

18.Force majeure

We are not liable for failure or delay in performing our obligations where this is caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics, public health restrictions, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, transport disruption, failure of a host institution or venue, governmental action, or restrictions on the lawful supply of anatomical specimens.

In such circumstances we will offer, at your choice, transfer of your registration to a rescheduled edition or a refund of the registration fee, subject to the limitation in Section 9.

19.Professional capacity

The Event is offered exclusively to qualified physicians registering in the course of their professional activity. Registration is a business-to-business transaction between professionals, and consumer protection rules applicable to transactions with consumers do not apply.

Where any mandatory consumer protection law nonetheless applies to you, nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under that law.

20.Data protection

Personal data collected in connection with the Event is processed as described in our Privacy Policy. The data controller is MD Serviços e Saúde Ltda, identified in Section 1.

21.Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version in force at the time of your registration governs your registration. Material changes will be notified to registered participants by email.

22.Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Brazil. The courts of Brasília, Federal District, Brazil, have jurisdiction over any dispute, without prejudice to any mandatory right you may have to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence where such a right cannot lawfully be excluded.

Before commencing any proceedings, we ask that you contact us at contact@meridianglobalinstitute.com so that we can try to resolve the matter directly.
