To use or access our website and Services, you must be eighteen years or older than the age of majority, and must have the ability to enter into this Agreement.

 

Educational and Informational Purposes Only

By using this site and/or our products, you agree to not use the information on this site and/or within our products as medical advice to treat any medical or psychological condition in either yourself or others including, but not limited to, patients that you are treating.

All information, products, and materials of this site are for informational and educational purposes ONLY and are NOT intended to serve as a substitute for the consultation, diagnosis, and/or medical and/or psychological treatment of a qualified physician, healthcare provider or therapist.

The information on this website and/or within our products, while provided by a medical professional, is provided as general educational information in the interest of public health and is not tailored to any one person’s life, health or relationship specifically. As such, the advice on this Site and/or within our products is not considered professional medical advice and does not constitute a doctor-patient relationship.

 

Warranties And Guarantees

While we make every effort to ensure that we present scientifically accurate information, please realise that medicine and psychology are constantly changing sciences. We strive to provide the most accurate information possible. However, we cannot ensure that our content is completely free from error or that it is timeless. As such, we do not give any warranty or other assurance as to the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, lack of errors, or fitness for particular purposes of any of the content or materials contained within and placed on our website, products, or other publications. To the maximum extent of the law, we provide our website and Services “as is” without any warranties, representations, or guarantees, whether express, implied, or otherwise. Nothing on our website claims to guarantee accurate, complete, reliable or up-to-date information.

It may happen that we share some of our student’s success stories and some specifics around what their success looks like. Once again, their success is NOT A GUARANTEE for your success and we are simply showing what results are possible through our programs, not that everyone will get these results from our programs and services. It is entirely possible, although unlikely, that you can do one of our courses and receive no results at all. Anything is possible. We ask you to fully grasp this concept before you use the Site and enjoy our services and/or products.
