Balto is operated by Mahmoud Mohamed El-Gohary from Egypt. Using it means agreeing to what follows. It is written to be read once rather than skimmed past.
Nothing on Balto is medical advice. It is exam preparation. Questions, explanations and anything Dr. Balto says are teaching material, they can be wrong, and they are not a substitute for your own judgement, your seniors, or the protocol in front of you.
Never make a decision about a real patient because of something you read here.
Pro is a fixed period you buy, not a subscription that renews. Nothing is charged again without you choosing to buy again. When the period ends the account returns to the free tier and everything you have written, marked and learned stays exactly where it is.
Prices are in Egyptian pounds and are shown before you pay. Buying early extends from the end of what you already have, so you never lose days by renewing sooner.
Bank transfers are matched to your order by hand, so access starts when the transfer is confirmed rather than the moment you send it.
If Balto takes your money and does not give you the access you paid for, write to mahmohelgoh@gmail.com and you will be refunded. If you change your mind within 14 days and have barely used Pro, ask and we will usually refund you. Beyond that, a period you have used is a period you have had.
The questions, explanations and everything else Balto publishes belong to Balto or to whoever licensed them to it. Notes and highlights you write belong to you, and you can take a copy of them from Settings at any time.
Where a question or explanation refers to a textbook, that book belongs to its publisher. Balto points at it; it does not reproduce it.
You can ask for your account to be deleted at any time by writing to mahmohelgoh@gmail.com. We may close or suspend an account that breaks these terms, and if we do while you have paid time remaining, we will refund the unused part unless the account was closed for something seriously wrong.
Balto is provided as it is. We work to keep it correct and available, but we do not promise it will be free of errors or never go down, and we are not liable for exam results, missed revision or decisions taken on the strength of what it says.
Nothing here limits any right you have under Egyptian consumer law that cannot be signed away.
If these terms change, the date at the top changes too, and a change that affects what you have paid for will be emailed to you. These terms are governed by the law of Egypt.
