Welcome to ZipAppointments® (“ZipAppointments,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, mobile platform, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use immediately.
Purpose of the Platform
ZipAppointments® is an online appointment coordination platform that enables users within the United States to schedule and manage appointments with independent third-party businesses.
We operate strictly as a booking facilitator.
We do not:
- Provide medical, legal, cosmetic, wellness, or other professional services
- Employ, control, supervise, or manage participating businesses
- Guarantee pricing, availability, quality, safety, legality, or service outcomes
- Act as an agent, representative, or partner of any business
All services are performed solely by independent third-party businesses. Any professional relationship is formed directly between the user and the selected business.
Appointment Booking and Coordination
When a user submits a booking request through the platform:
- ZipAppointments® coordinates the appointment request with the selected business.
- Confirmation may be provided via email, SMS, or dashboard notification.
- Final appointment availability is subject to approval by the business.
ZipAppointments® does not guarantee appointment acceptance, time slot availability, or service completion.

How Users May Cancel or Reschedule
Users may cancel or reschedule appointments by:
- Clicking the Cancel Appointment option within their account dashboard, and
