Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of Fair Witness. By using this site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Last updated June 2026.

Informational only — not medical advice

Everything on Fair Witness is published for general informational and educational purposes. It is not medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a treatment recommendation, and it is not a substitute for a licensed clinician who knows your history. Do not start, stop, or change any therapy based on what you read here. See our Disclosures for the full statement.

No professional relationship

Using this site, contacting us, or relying on our content does not create a doctor–patient, clinician–patient, or any other professional relationship between you and Fair Witness, its authors, or its medical reviewers. Our reviewers vet published material for accuracy; they are not your treating clinician.

Permitted use of our content

You may read, share links to, and quote brief portions of our content with attribution. You may not republish our work wholesale, present it as your own, or use it to imply that Fair Witness endorses a product, vendor, clinic, or protocol — we endorse none.

Intellectual property

The original writing, evidence gradings, design, and marks on this site are the property of Fair Witness. Facts, citations, and the names of compounds and studies are not ours to own and are reported as the public record they are.

Accuracy and corrections

We work hard to be accurate and to grade evidence honestly, but we make no guarantee that every statement is free of error or fully current. The science moves, and regulatory status changes. If you believe something here is wrong, tell us at corrections@readfairwitness.com and we will review it against the sources.

No warranty

This site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fair Witness is not liable for any loss or harm arising from your use of, or reliance on, this content. Decisions about your health are yours to make with a qualified professional, and if you act on anything you read here, you do so at your own risk.

Third-party links

We link to studies, regulators, and outside sources so you can check our work. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or availability.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site evolves and will revise the date above when we do. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by applicable law of the United States and the jurisdiction in which Fair Witness is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
