These terms govern your use of smarthealthcompass.com, operated by Vinicius Barros de Souza, an individual based in Brazil (“we,” “us”). By using the site, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
The site is information, not advice
This is the most important section here.
SmartHealthCompass does not provide medical advice. The content is general consumer information about dietary supplements. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it does not establish any professional relationship between us and you.
No one who produces this content holds a clinical credential. We are not doctors, dietitians, pharmacists, or researchers, and no licensed professional reviews our content. We say so on About and we repeat it here because it bears on how much weight our content should carry in a decision about your health.
Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing a supplement — particularly if you take prescription medication, have a medical condition, are pregnant or nursing, are considering a supplement for a child, or are scheduled for surgery. Never disregard or delay professional medical advice because of something you read here.
If you think you’re having a medical emergency, call your doctor or your local emergency number immediately — 911 in the United States, 192 (SAMU) in Brazil.
Statements about dietary supplements on this site have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Dietary supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
We are not the seller
We review products; we don’t sell them. Purchases you make after following a link from this site are between you and the merchant, under their terms.
We don’t process payments, ship, handle returns, or provide customer support for any product. Pricing, availability, promotions, formulations, and shipping terms are set by merchants and change without notice — what you see on their site may differ from what we recorded when we published.
We make no warranty regarding any third-party product, and we are not responsible for merchant conduct. See our Affiliate Disclosure for how our commercial relationships work — including the fact that, as of this writing, we have none.
Accuracy, and its limits
We work to be accurate — our Methodology describes how — but we don’t warrant that content is complete, current, or error-free.
Supplement research evolves and product formulations change. Content reflects our understanding at the time of publication or last update, and each article shows both dates. We correct errors when we find them; our correction practice is in the Editorial Policy.
We do not test products in a laboratory. Where we describe label contents, we’re describing what the manufacturer states, and we mark whether we could independently verify it.
Using the site
You may read, share, and link to our content for personal, non-commercial purposes.
You may not republish substantial portions of our content as your own, scrape the site or use automated systems in a way that burdens it, misrepresent your relationship with us, use the site unlawfully, or attempt to interfere with it or gain unauthorized access.
Intellectual property
Content on this site — text, layout, graphics, and our name and logo — is owned by us or used with permission, and protected by copyright and trademark law.
You may quote briefly with attribution and a link. You may not reproduce material portions without written permission. Product names and trademarks belong to their owners; we use them descriptively, which doesn’t imply any affiliation or endorsement.
External links
We link to third-party sites, including merchants and research sources. We don’t control them and aren’t responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. A link isn’t an endorsement of everything at the destination.
Disclaimer of warranties
The site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don’t warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this may not apply to you.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content — including damages relating to any product you purchase from a third party.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud.
Some jurisdictions don’t allow these limitations, so parts may not apply to you.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your misuse of the site or violation of these terms.
Changes
We may update these terms. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms. We’ll revise the “last updated” date and note material changes visibly.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and the courts of Brazil are the venue for any dispute.
This reflects where the operator actually is. Consumer-protection law in your own country of residence may give you rights that a choice-of-law clause cannot take away, and nothing here is intended to remove them.
Severability
If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
