7. Health Disclaimer

The content provided through the Services—including articles, videos, podcasts, graphics, images, and any other material—is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended to constitute or substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor does it establish a doctor-patient relationship.

You should never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read, heard, or seen on the Services. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for guidance on any medical or mental health conditions.

Any case studies, patient stories, or testimonials featured on the Services are illustrative only. They do not guarantee or imply specific outcomes and should not be interpreted as typical or representative results. Statements regarding cannabis or any other therapeutic agents may reflect anecdotal evidence or preliminary research and should not be construed as endorsements or medical guidance unless explicitly stated otherwise.

You are solely responsible for how you interpret and act upon any content presented here. The publisher disclaims all liability for actions taken based on this content.

8. Third-Party Links

The Services may link to external websites. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party sites. Use those sites at your own risk.

We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Services at our discretion, with or without notice, for any reason, including but not limited to:

➕ Violation of these Terms

➕ Harassment or abuse toward other users or contributors

➕ Disruption of the Services or community spaces

➕ Sharing false, defamatory, or misleading health information

➕ Use of the Services for commercial, illegal, or exploitative purposes

You may terminate your use of the Services at any time by ceasing all access and, where applicable, cancelling any paid subscription. Upon termination, your license to use the Services and access content will immediately cease. We may retain certain user information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes as outlined in our Privacy Policy.

Any misuse of the Services, including attempts to bypass access controls or distribute copyrighted content without permission, may result in legal action.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted under Massachusetts law, we and our affiliates, contributors, contractors, and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages—including but not limited to damages for loss of data, business interruption, or personal injury—arising from your use or inability to use the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

All information is provided “as is” and “as available” without any warranties of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We make no guarantee that the Services will be secure, error-free, or uninterrupted.

You agree that your sole and exclusive remedy for dissatisfaction with the Services is to stop using them. If, notwithstanding this clause, any liability is found, it shall be limited to the amount you have paid (if any) for Services in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations of liability; in such cases, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
