Terms of Use
By accessing or using thehrtindex.com (“the site”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Not medical advice
The site is an editorial publication. Its content is for general informational and educational purposes only and is not medical, diagnostic, or treatment advice. Nothing on the site is a substitute for the advice of a qualified clinician who knows your individual medical history. Do not start, stop, or change any medication or treatment based on what you read on this site without consulting your clinician.
No clinician-patient relationship
The HRT Index is not a healthcare provider, telehealth platform, pharmacy, prescriber, medical practice, or emergency service. Reading the site, submitting a contact form, subscribing to the newsletter, or clicking a provider link does not create a clinician-patient relationship with The HRT Index, its publisher, editors, writers, or reviewers.
Editorial opinions
Reviews, comparisons, awards, and recommendations on the site are editorial opinions formed against our published methodology. They are not guarantees of any particular outcome and are not warranties of any provider's services. The accuracy, completeness, and currency of information on the site are best-effort; the site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
Third-party links
The site contains links to third-party websites, including links to provider sites that may become affiliate links in the future. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or terms of use of any third-party site. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of the linked site beyond the editorial coverage we publish on this site.
Provider availability and pricing
Provider pricing, insurance participation, state availability, formularies, promotions, and policies can change without notice. We make reasonable efforts to keep information current, but readers should confirm all details directly with the provider before making a purchase or care decision.
Intellectual property
The site, including all editorial content, graphic design, and source code, is owned by the publisher and is protected by US and international intellectual-property law. You may read, link to, and quote brief excerpts of editorial content for non-commercial personal use with attribution. Republication, redistribution, or commercial use requires written permission.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the publisher, its officers, editors, writers, and reviewers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your access to or use of the site or any content on it.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the publisher and its officers, editors, writers, and reviewers from any claim or demand arising out of your use of the site or your violation of these Terms.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to the site or these Terms shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a revision indicates acceptance of the revised Terms.
