Ami Swanson NP or its designated agents may remove or alter any user-created content at any time for any reason without liability or consequence. Message boards, groups, chats, or other such forums are intended to serve as discussion centers for users and subscribers. Information and content posted within these forums may be provided by Ami Swanson NP staff, outside contributors, or by users not connected with us, some of whom may employ anonymous user names. Ami Swanson NP expressly disclaims all responsibility and endorsement and makes no representation as to the validity of any opinion, advice, information, or statement made or displayed in these forums by third parties, nor are we responsible for any errors or omissions in such postings, or hyperlinks embedded in any messages.

​

Ami Swanson NP has no obligation whatsoever to monitor any of the content or postings on the message board, chat room, or other public forums on the Site. However, you acknowledge and agree that we have the absolute right to monitor the same at our sole discretion. In addition, we reserve the right to alter, edit, refuse to post, or remove any postings or content, in whole or in part, for any reason and to disclose such materials and the circumstances surrounding their transmission to any third party to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request and to protect ourselves, our clients, sponsors, users, and visitors.

​

In addition, if you elect to sign-up for a particular feature of the Site, such as message boards, groups, chats, or other such forums, you may also be asked to register with us on the form provided and such registration may require you to provide personally identifiable information such as your name and email address. You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Site's registration form. If we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the information you provide is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site (or any portion thereof). Our use of any personally identifiable information you provide to us as part of the registration process is governed by the terms of our Privacy Policy.

​

To use certain features of the Site, you will need a username, password, and/or account, which you will receive through the Site's registration process.

​

Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, shall Ami Swanson NP or our owners, agents, employees, contractors, subsidiaries, affiliates, and/or parent entities be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages that result from the use of or the inability to use the Site, including our messaging, blogs, comments of others, books, emails, products or services, or third party materials, products or services made available through the Site or by us in any way, even if we are advised beforehand of the possibility of such damages. (Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain categories of damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. In such states, our liability and the liability of our subsidiary and parent companies or affiliates is limited to the fullest extent permitted by such state law.) You specifically acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any defamatory, offensive, or illegal statements or conduct of any user.

The Site offers health, wellness, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational purposes only.  You should not rely on any information as a substitute for, nor does it replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  If you have any concerns or questions about your health, you should always consult with a physician or other licensed healthcare professional.  Do not disregard, avoid or delay obtaining medical or health-related advice from your licensed healthcare professional because of something you may have read on this Site. The use of and reliance upon any information provided on this Site is solely at your own risk.

Nothing stated or posted on this Site or available through any services is intended to be, and must not be taken to be, the practice of medical or counseling care.  For purposes of this Agreement, the practice of medical or counseling includes, without limitation, psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy, or providing health care treatment, instructions, diagnosis, prognosis, or advice.

Refund Policy

Unless otherwise provided, there will be no right to any refund or reimbursement, either in whole or pro-rata, of any fee, costs, or expense paid to Ami Swanson NP. 

​

Digital Millennium Copyright Act

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under state and federal copyright laws. If you believe in good faith that materials posted or displayed by Ami Swanson NP infringe your copyright, you or your agent shall provide written notice of same to Ami Swanson NP supporting your contention that the materials are protected and requesting that same be removed or access be blocked.  Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on said owner’s behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon Ami Swanson NP’s actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send to Ami Swanson NP a counter-notice. All notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. Ami Swanson NP’s Copyright Agent for notice shall be ****.

​

Assignment

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Ami Swanson NP and our respective assigns, successors, heirs, and legal representatives. Ami Swanson NP shall be permitted to assign these Terms of Service and all rights and obligations hereunder to any subsidiary, affiliate, or successor entity, and by agreeing to these Terms of Service, you consent and agree to any such assignment.  Subject to the foregoing, these Terms of Service may not be assigned by you to anybody without the prior written consent of Ami Swanson NP.

​

Dispute Resolution

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa and any dispute shall be subject to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association in Chicago, IL applying Iowa State law.  If any provision of these Terms of Service shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Service and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

​

Class Action Waiver

You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, collective or representative action and you expressly waive your right to be a member or otherwise participate in any class action or collective action lawsuit, class arbitration or private attorney general action.

Should any dispute between you and Ami Swanson NP be referred to arbitration under this Terms of Service Agreement, the arbitrator or arbitration panel may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and the arbitrator or arbitration panel may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless all relevant parties specifically agree in writing.

​

Severability

If any clause within these Terms of Service (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from these Terms of Service, and the remainder of these Terms of Service will be given full force and effect.
