The Advisors and Advisor Services
The Platform enables you to communicate with a counsellor, consultant, expert, coach, advisor or any other person (collectively “Advisor”) for the purpose of getting information, advice or any other input, benefit or service (collectively “Advisor Services”) as promoted or offered and when available, through this Platform.
We make no representation or warranty whatsoever as to the willingness or ability of an Advisor to give advice.
We make no representation or warranty whatsoever as to whether you will find the Advisor Services relevant, useful, correct, relevant, satisfactory, or suitable to your needs.
We do not control the quality of the Advisor Services and we do not determine whether any Advisor is qualified to provide any specific service as well as whether an Advisor is categorized correctly or matched correctly to you.
While we may try to do so from time to time, in our sole discretion, you acknowledge that we do not represent to verify, and do not guarantee the verification of, the skills, degrees, qualifications, licensure, certification, credentials, competence or background of any Advisor. It is your responsibility to conduct independent verification regarding any Advisor that provides you with Advisor Services (whether through the Platform or not) and we strongly recommend that you will conduct this verification prior to communicating with any Advisor through the Platform and on a continuous basis as you use the Platform.
Use of the Platform
You agree, confirm and acknowledge that although the Advisor may provide the Advisor Services through the Platform, we cannot assess whether the use of the Advisor, the Advisor Services or the Platform is right and suitable for your needs. THE PLATFORM DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PROVISION OF MEDICAL CARE, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES BY US.
The role of the platform is strictly limited to informing you and facilitating the communication between you and the Advisor and to enable the provision of the Advisor Services. It is up to you to consider and decide whether these services are appropriate for you or not.
You agree, confirm and acknowledge that you are aware of the fact that the Advisor Services are not a complete substitute for a face-to-face examination and/or session by a licensed qualified professional. You should never rely on or make health or well-being decisions which are primarily based on information provided as part of the Advisor Services. Furthermore, we strongly recommend that you will consider seeking advice by having an in-person appointment with a licensed and qualified professional. Never disregard, avoid, or delay in obtaining medical advice from your doctor or other qualified healthcare counsellor, by face-to-face appointment, because of information or advice you received through the Platform.
THE PLATFORM IS NOT INTENDED FOR DIAGNOSIS, INCLUDING INFORMATION REGARDING DRUGS OR TREATMENT THAT MAY BE APPROPRIATE PARTICULARLY FOR YOU, AND YOU SHOULD DISREGARD ANY SUCH ADVICE IF DELIVERED THROUGH THE PLATFORM.
You are advised to exercise a high level of care and caution in the use of the Platform and the Advisor Services.
IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT SUICIDE OR IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING TO TAKE ACTIONS THAT MAY CAUSE HARM TO YOU OR TO OTHERS OR IF YOU FEEL THAT ANY OTHER PERSON MAY BE IN ANY DANGER OR IF YOU HAVE ANY MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CALL THE EMERGENCY SERVICE NUMBER OF YORU AREA OR COUNTRY AND NOTIFY THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, CONFIRM AND AGREE THAT THE PLATFORM IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED CASES AND THAT YOU MUST NOT USE THE PLATFORM IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED CASES.
The Platform may contain other content, products or services which are offered or provided by third parties (“Third Party Content”), links to Third Party Content (including but not limited to links to other websites) or advertisements which are related to Third Party Content. You confirm and acknowledge that we have no responsibility over any such Third Party Content, including (but not limited to) any related products, practices, terms or policies, and that we will not be liable for any damage or loss caused by any Third Party Content.
