Terms

1. About this website

IVM Life is an independent editorial publication. By using this website, you agree to use its content and services lawfully and in accordance with these terms.

2. Editorial content

IVM Life publishes articles, essays, travel writing, observations and other editorial material. The views and experiences expressed by individual writers are their own unless otherwise stated.

Editorial content is published for information, discussion and general interest. It is not a promise that a particular outcome will result from following or acting on anything published here.

3. Health, fitness and medical information

Some IVM Life articles discuss fitness, exercise, nutrition, diet, ageing, health, medicines, medical conditions and related subjects. This material is provided for general informational and editorial purposes only. It is not medical, clinical, nutritional, fitness or other professional advice.

Do not use an IVM Life article as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. Before beginning a new exercise, fitness, nutrition or dietary programme, or making a significant change to an existing one, readers should consider their individual circumstances and consult an appropriately qualified registered medical practitioner, registered dietitian or dietician, or other relevant healthcare professional.

This is particularly important if you have an existing medical condition, take medication, are recovering from illness or injury, are pregnant, or have any concern about your health.

IVM Life does not recommend starting, stopping, changing or substituting prescribed medication on the basis of anything published on this website. Decisions concerning medication, diagnosis or medical treatment should be made with the appropriate registered healthcare professional.

References to medicines, treatments, supplements, diets, exercises or health practices are not recommendations or endorsements. Personal experiences described by writers are personal experiences and may not be appropriate for another person.

4. No professional relationship

Reading IVM Life, contacting us, or communicating with a writer does not create a doctor-patient, dietitian-client, trainer-client, therapist-client or other professional relationship.

5. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise indicated, the articles, photographs, graphics, design, branding and other original material published on IVM Life belong to IVM Life or their respective rights holders.

You may read, share and link to IVM Life content for personal and non-commercial purposes, provided that the source is credited and the content is not presented as your own. You may not reproduce, republish, modify, distribute or commercially exploit substantial portions of the site without permission.

6. External links

IVM Life may link to external websites or resources. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices or terms.

7. Accuracy and availability

We make reasonable efforts to publish accurate and useful material, but IVM Life does not warrant that every article or page will always be complete, current, error-free or available without interruption.

8. Reader submissions

IVM Life does not currently operate a public submission system. If we invite or accept reader-submitted material in the future, additional terms may apply to those submissions and will be communicated at the time.

9. Limitation of responsibility

To the extent permitted by applicable law, IVM Life is not responsible for loss or damage arising from reliance on editorial content, interruption of the website, or information provided by external websites.

Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude or limit any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
