Website Terms of Use and Medical Disclaimer
These Website Terms of Use govern access to and use of the public website operated by [PRACTICE LEGAL NAME / DBA]. By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website.
General Information Only
Website content is provided for general educational and informational purposes. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, a substitute for professional judgment, or a recommendation for any particular patient. Do not delay or disregard professional medical advice because of website content.
No Physician-Patient Relationship
Viewing the website, submitting a public form, sending an email, or requesting an appointment does not create a physician-patient relationship. A clinical relationship is established only through the practice’s authorized intake and acceptance process and applicable professional requirements.
Appointments and Communications
An online appointment request is not confirmed until the practice sends confirmation. Public forms and email should not be used for urgent or highly sensitive clinical information. Secure portal messages are subject to the portal’s terms and are not a substitute for emergency care.
Telehealth and Geographic Limitations
Health care services are provided only where permitted by professional licensure, scope-of-practice requirements, and applicable law. Website availability does not mean that a provider may treat a person in every jurisdiction.
Permitted Use
You may use the website for lawful, personal, noncommercial purposes. You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access, interfere with security, introduce malicious code, scrape or copy content unlawfully, impersonate another person, or use the website in a manner that harms the practice or others.
Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, website text, graphics, logos, photographs, designs, and other materials are owned by or licensed to the practice and are protected by applicable law. Limited personal use does not transfer ownership or authorize commercial reuse.
Third-Party Links and Services
Links or integrations are provided for convenience. The practice does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, availability, privacy, security, or terms. A link does not necessarily constitute endorsement.
Accuracy and Availability
We seek to provide useful and accurate information but do not guarantee that all content is complete, current, error-free, or continuously available. Services, clinicians, hours, fees, and insurance participation may change. Confirm important information directly with the practice.
Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. The practice is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from website use, inability to use the website, reliance on content, or third-party services. Nothing in these terms limits rights or liabilities that cannot lawfully be limited.
Privacy
Use of the website is also governed by the Website Privacy Policy, Cookie and Tracking Technologies Notice, and, where applicable, the Notice of Privacy Practices.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by applicable federal law and the laws of [GOVERNING STATE], without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where another law must apply.
Changes and Contact
We may revise these terms by posting an updated version with a new effective date. Questions may be directed to [GENERAL EMAIL] or [MAIN PHONE].
