1. Consumer Communications
By interacting with us, you consent to the possibility that calls may be recorded.

You affirm that the numbers you provide are yours and that you are authorized to receive calls and text messages at those numbers.
We may also send communications via email or other electronic means as permitted by law, and we reserve the right to contact you as frequently as necessary for business purposes.

2. Informational Nature of Content — Not Legal Advice
All content on this site (including text, videos, graphics, or other materials) is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.
Nothing here should be taken as legal advice or medical guidance. The information may not reflect the latest legal developments and should not be relied upon for legal decision-making. This site does not constitute an offer to provide legal services on any matter.
Always consult with a licensed attorney familiar with your circumstances before acting on any information. Please refer to the separate Disclaimer section for further details.

3. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to update or revise these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting, with the “Last Updated” date indicating the most recent modification.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the Site for personal purposes only, in accordance with these Terms.

8. No Attorney-Client Relationship from Use
Viewing this Site or communicating via email or online forms does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Only a mutually signed retainer agreement establishes such a relationship. We expressly disclaim liability for actions taken or not taken based on Site content. The Site is provided “AS IS” without any warranties, express or implied.

9. Accounts
Some Site features may require account creation. You agree to provide accurate information and safeguard your login credentials. You are responsible for all actions taken through your account. We may suspend access if we suspect misuse.

10. Confidentiality Notice

11. Medical Content Disclaimer
Any medical-related information on the Site is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always seek a qualified healthcare provider’s guidance for any medical concerns. Never delay or alter treatment based on information from this Site. Information about drug recalls or medical issues may not be up to date and should not be the sole basis for medical decisions.
