Terms of Use
These terms govern your access to and use of HealthReview (the "site"). By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. What this site is
HealthReview is a free, advertising-supported website publishing general health information. It is an educational resource, not a medical service. Your use of it is subject to our Medical Disclaimer, which forms part of these terms.
2. Acceptable use
You may read, print and share our pages for your own personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to:
- Copy, scrape or republish substantial portions of the site for commercial purposes without written permission;
- Use automated systems in a way that places unreasonable load on our infrastructure;
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site or interfere with its normal operation;
- Misrepresent our content as personalised medical advice to others.
3. Intellectual property
Original text and design on this site are the property of HealthReview unless otherwise stated. Quoted clinical data, reference ranges, classification codes and cited research remain the property of their respective owners and are used for informational and educational purposes with attribution. If you believe material on this site infringes your rights, contact us and we will investigate promptly.
4. Advertising
The site is funded by third-party advertising, including Google AdSense. Advertisements are supplied by external networks and are not endorsements by us. We are not responsible for the content of advertisements or for the products, services or websites they promote. See our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy for how advertising cookies are handled.
5. No warranties
The site is provided "as is". While we take reasonable care over accuracy, we do not warrant that content is complete, current, uninterrupted or error-free, or that the site will be available at all times.
6. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, HealthReview and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the site or reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
7. External links
The site links to third-party websites for verification and further reading. We do not control and are not responsible for their content or practices.
8. Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, with the "last updated" date revised accordingly. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
9. User-submitted content
If you send us a correction, suggestion, or piece of feedback by email or via the contact form, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use that material for editorial purposes, for example, to verify and apply a correction to an article. We will not publish your name or personal details without your consent. We are not obliged to act on suggestions or to publish corrections, but we will always consider them in good faith and respond where possible.
10. Privacy and data
Your use of this site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. The Privacy Policy explains what personal data, if any, is processed when you visit the site, what cookies are used, and what rights you have under applicable data protection law including the UK/EU GDPR and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023. Our Cookie Policy sets out the specific cookies placed by this site and the advertising network.
11. Third-party services
The site uses third-party services including Cloudflare (CDN and security), Google AdSense (advertising), and Cloudflare Web Analytics (aggregate traffic analysis). Use of these services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We select third-party services carefully and where possible configure them to respect user privacy choices, including via Google Consent Mode v2. We are not responsible for the terms, privacy practices, or reliability of third-party services.
12. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute arising out of your use of the site that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Telangana, India. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction where mandatory consumer protection law applies, nothing in these terms limits rights you cannot waive under that law.
13. Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from these terms. The remaining provisions continue in full force.
14. Entire agreement
These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Medical Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and HealthReview with respect to your use of the site. They supersede any prior agreement or understanding on the same subject.
