Terms of Use.

Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using int-wellness.com, including any subdomains and journal articles, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Who we are and what this site is

This website is operated by Integrative Wellness, a clinical nutrigenomics practice founded by Sarah Patrick, Holistic Health Practitioner. The practice operates remotely and by referral. The site provides educational content, information about the practice's services, and tools such as the Dirty Gene Self-Assessment.

No medical advice. No professional relationship.

Reading content on this site, completing the self-assessment, downloading materials, or contacting us through a form or email does not establish a healthcare or counseling relationship. A practitioner-client relationship is established only when both parties agree in writing and a paid intake or service has been completed.

Decisions about your health, including starting, stopping, or changing any medication, supplement, or treatment, belong with your licensed healthcare provider. Do not act on anything you read here without that consultation.

Intellectual property

All content on int-wellness.com, including text, articles, design, logos, graphics, images, the Dirty Gene Self-Assessment instrument as adapted, and underlying code, is the property of Integrative Wellness or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international copyright and trademark law.

You may read, share via link, and quote brief excerpts of journal articles with attribution. You may not:

• Republish, reproduce, or redistribute substantial portions of any content without written permission
• Use the content to train AI models or systems without explicit permission
• Use the brand name, logos, or look and feel of the site for any commercial purpose
• Scrape, mine, or systematically harvest content from the site by automated means, except by search engine and AI assistant crawlers permitted in our robots.txt

User conduct

When using the site or contacting us, you agree to:

• Provide accurate information when you submit it
• Not impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity
• Not use the site to send spam, harassment, or threatening messages
• Not attempt to access non-public areas of the site or its underlying systems
• Not interfere with the site's operation, including by attempting denial-of-service, automated abuse, or security circumvention

Third-party links and services

This site may link to or rely on third-party services, including a scheduling provider, an email list provider, social media platforms, and external research sources. We do not control these third parties, are not responsible for their content or practices, and do not endorse them by linking. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms.

Disclaimer of warranties

The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the site or its server are free of viruses or other harmful components.

Health information changes rapidly. We make reasonable efforts to keep articles current, but we do not warrant that any information on this site is complete, current, or accurate at the time you read it.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Integrative Wellness, Sarah Patrick, and any of our agents or affiliates are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of your use of this site, your reliance on its content, or any actions you take based on it.

Direct damages, if any, are limited to the amount you have paid us, if any, in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so they may not fully apply to you.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Integrative Wellness and Sarah Patrick from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of your use of the site, your violation of these terms, or your violation of the rights of any third party.

Health claims and FDA

Statements on this site about supplements, foods, or wellness practices have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Information is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising under these terms or your use of the site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Oakland County, Michigan, and you consent to that jurisdiction and venue.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the site at any time for any reason, including violation of these terms. Sections of these terms that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations, indemnification, governing law) will survive.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
