Terms of Service

Last updated: 21 May 2025

By accessing this website (the “Site”), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not accept every provision, please discontinue use immediately.

1. Medical Disclaimer

All content is for informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider about any health concerns you may have.

2. Intellectual-Property Rights

Except for user-generated material and third-party advertisements, all text, images, graphics, audio, video, logos, and other content on the Site are protected by intellectual-property laws and remain the sole property of the Site operator.
You may:

  • share an article headline plus a live link back to the original piece;

  • repost our content via the built-in social-media buttons.

Any other reproduction, republication, or database creation requires prior written permission.

3. User Comments

Interactive areas allow you to post opinions, ideas, or information. By submitting a comment, you:

  • acknowledge it is public and non-confidential;

  • agree not to post anything fraudulent, unlawful, defamatory, or obscene;

  • grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, modify, and distribute that content.

We reserve the right—but have no obligation—to moderate, edit, or remove user comments at our sole discretion.

4. Advertising and Sponsorship

Third-party advertisements and sponsorships help fund the Site. Each advertiser is solely responsible for its own material. We make no warranty regarding the accuracy or legality of any ad content. See our separate Advertising & Sponsorship Policy for details.

5. Affiliate-Link Disclosure

Some outbound links are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click and make a purchase. Such partnerships never influence our editorial independence or the products we choose to recommend.

6. Sources & Tips

Anonymous tips are welcome. The Site respects the confidentiality of sources unless disclosure is legally compelled and all available legal remedies have been exhausted.

7. External Links

The Site may link to external websites that are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We bear no responsibility for the content or practices of those sites.

8. Disclaimer of Liability

All materials on the Site are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties—express or implied—and accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, Site content.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Site operator and its affiliates against all claims, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or misuse of the Site.

10. Data Protection

Personal data is handled in line with the Site’s Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the operator’s principal place of business. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in that locale for any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Site.

12. Compliance With Your Local Laws

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Site complies with all laws and regulations in your own jurisdiction.

13. General Provisions

  • Non-assignment: You may not transfer your rights under these Terms.

  • Severability: If any clause is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions remain in full force.

  • No waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that or any other right.

14. Updates to These Terms

We may revise these Terms periodically. Any changes take effect once posted. Continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
