HealthSearch Terms of Use
Last updated:
Welcome to HealthSearch. These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of thehealthsearch.com and its content, operated by Healthsearch LLC (“HealthSearch,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
Please read these terms carefully. By expressly accepting them, or using the website after receiving legally sufficient notice that your use constitutes acceptance, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.
Our Disclaimer & Disclosures is incorporated into these terms. Our Privacy Policy separately explains our information practices. Acceptance of these terms does not replace any privacy consent required by law.
1 Purpose of the Website
HealthSearch provides general educational information, research summaries, product comparisons, reviews, and related content.
Our content, recommendations, and communications are not personalized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment and do not establish a healthcare provider–patient relationship. Consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding medical concerns and before starting supplements or changing treatment, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition.
Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking care because of something you read on HealthSearch. This website is not an emergency service.
2 Research and Product Information
Our team examines published research and other available information to explain findings, practical applications, and limitations. Reviewing research does not mean HealthSearch conducted the underlying study or clinically tested a featured product.
Research involving particular ingredients, formulations, doses, or populations may not apply to another product or individual. Laboratory testing for quality, composition, or contaminants does not, by itself, establish clinical effectiveness. Research citations and testing references do not imply FDA approval.
Statements regarding dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Dietary supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
Scientific evidence and product information may change. Content may contain errors or omissions or become outdated. Check current manufacturer labeling, directions, warnings, pricing, and availability before purchasing or using a product.
3 Reviews Ratings and Comparisons
Reviews, ratings, and rankings reflect editorial assessments using the information and criteria described in the relevant content. They are not clinical measurements, regulatory approvals, or guarantees of safety, suitability, or effectiveness.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, a comparison is limited to the products and criteria identified in that content and is not a comprehensive assessment of every available alternative. A ranking reflects an editorial assessment for the stated purpose, rather than a determination that a product is appropriate for every reader.
References to studies, customer feedback, or participant reports do not establish that every featured product will produce the same results. Individual experiences alone do not establish that a product caused an outcome.
We may revise our assessments as products, evidence, or evaluation criteria change.
4 Commercial Relationships and Contributors
HealthSearch features brands with a variety of commercial relationships, including brands with no commercial relationship to us, companies under common ownership, and affiliate marketing partners. We may earn commissions from qualifying purchases through affiliate links. Applicable relationships are disclosed alongside relevant recommendations or in accompanying disclosures.
HealthSearch and Rooted Nature operate through separate legal entities and share common ownership. Rooted Nature products may appear in our articles, reviews, comparisons, and recommendations, and that ownership creates a financial interest in their sales.
Contributors may be compensated for their work. Some may use pen names or illustrative profile images for privacy; these do not establish professional credentials, expertise, or personal product use. Contributor opinions do not necessarily represent those of HealthSearch or its owners.
5 Intellectual Property and Permitted Use
The website and its original content, design, graphics, and other materials are owned by Healthsearch LLC or used with permission, except where otherwise identified. Third-party trademarks and materials remain the property of their respective owners.
You may access the website, share links to our pages, and print or download reasonable portions for personal, noncommercial reference, provided you retain applicable copyright and attribution notices.
Except as permitted by law or authorized in writing, you may not reproduce, commercially republish, sell, license, or distribute substantial portions of our content. You may not use our name, branding, or materials in a manner that falsely suggests affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement.
No ownership rights are transferred through your use of the website. Nothing in these terms restricts fair use or other rights that cannot lawfully be limited.
6 Responsible Use
You agree not to:
- Use the website for unlawful, fraudulent, or deceptive purposes.
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity or affiliation.
- Attempt to access systems, accounts, or information without authorization.
- Introduce malicious code or interfere with website security or operation.
- Use automated tools to circumvent access restrictions or materially burden the website.
- Submit unlawful threats, infringing material, or private information about another person without appropriate authorization.
- Remove or alter proprietary notices in materials you are otherwise permitted to use.
7 Messages and Feedback
You are responsible for the information you submit and for having the rights or permissions necessary to provide it.
When you send a private inquiry or feedback, you permit us to use it to respond, investigate the issue, and improve our services, consistent with our Privacy Policy. Sending a private message does not grant permission to publish it as an identifiable testimonial.
Please do not send medical records or other sensitive information through general contact forms. Any future public submission feature may have additional terms presented when you use it.
Nothing in these terms prohibits honest reviews, lawful criticism, reporting concerns to authorities, or other legally protected expression.
8 External Websites and Purchases
Our content may link to manufacturers, retailers, research publications, and other websites. Links may include commercial or affiliate relationships.
Third parties control their own websites, products, prices, availability, and transaction policies. Unless expressly stated otherwise, a purchase made on a linked website is with the seller identified at checkout and is governed by that seller’s applicable terms, including its shipping, return, refund, and subscription policies.
Common ownership with a featured brand does not make Healthsearch LLC the seller of that brand’s products. The appearance of another company’s name or trademark does not, by itself, establish affiliation or endorsement.
Nothing in this section excludes responsibility that applicable law places on Healthsearch LLC.
9 Optional Contributions and Participation Programs
If we introduce reader contributions, questionnaires, product evaluations, or participant programs, additional terms and disclosures may apply.
Reader contributions will be voluntary and subject to the payment terms presented before submission, including any recurring-payment, cancellation, or refund provisions. Contributions will not purchase medical advice, a favorable review, a particular research finding, or an ownership interest in Healthsearch LLC. They will not be represented as tax-deductible charitable donations unless legally eligible.
Participation programs may have separate eligibility requirements, instructions, privacy notices, and consent materials. Applying will not guarantee selection, receipt of a product, or a particular outcome. Participation will not require a favorable review.
Program-specific terms control for that program where they conflict with these general terms, to the extent permitted by law. These terms do not replace informed consent or other participant protections required by law.
10 Website Availability and Changes
We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue website content or features for operational, editorial, security, legal, or other business reasons.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, continued availability of particular content, or correction of every error. Except where required by law or separately agreed, we do not undertake an obligation to update each article or notify individual readers whenever content changes.
You may report suspected errors through our Contact page or the email address below.
11 Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement.
We do not warrant that content will always be accurate, complete, current, or suitable for your individual circumstances, or that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components.
No general information or communication provided by HealthSearch creates a warranty beyond any express commitment we separately make.
Nothing in this section excludes warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
12 Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Healthsearch LLC and its officers, members, employees, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or losses of profits, revenue, business opportunities, or data arising out of or relating to use of, or inability to use, the website or its content, even if advised of the possibility of those losses.
This limitation applies regardless of whether a claim is based on contract, tort, statute, or another legal theory, to the extent permitted by law.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Nonwaivable consumer rights and remedies remain unaffected.
Where a limitation is not permitted, it applies only to the extent allowed by applicable law.
13 Restriction of Access
We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to address unlawful activity, security threats, material violations of these terms, or legal requirements.
Provisions that by their nature should continue after access ends—including intellectual property, applicable warranty and liability provisions, and governing-law provisions—will remain in effect.
14 Governing Law and Applicable Consumer Rights
Healthsearch LLC is organized under Nevada law and provides this website to readers throughout the United States.
These terms and disputes concerning them are governed by Nevada law, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent applicable federal law or mandatory provisions of another jurisdiction require otherwise.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits consumer rights, privacy rights, remedies, or liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. This choice of law does not require a consumer to waive mandatory protections available under applicable law.
You may contact us about a concern so we can attempt to resolve it. Contacting us first is not a condition of exercising your legal rights and does not suspend applicable filing deadlines.
15 Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms to reflect changes in our website, services, or legal requirements. We will update the date above and provide additional notice of material changes where appropriate or legally required.
Changes apply prospectively. Where applicable law requires renewed acceptance, we will obtain it. Posting revised terms does not make them retroactively binding on an existing dispute.
16 General Provisions
If a provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect to the extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce it later.
These terms, the incorporated Disclaimer & Disclosures, and any applicable feature-specific terms constitute the agreement concerning your use of HealthSearch. They do not replace separate agreements governing purchases from other sellers.
Any assignment of our rights or obligations in connection with a lawful business transfer remains subject to applicable law and does not reduce your nonwaivable rights.
