- informed consent and legally required disclosures, including (where required) telehealth-specific informed consent, limitations/risks of remote services, privacy/confidentiality limitations, emergency escalation procedures, and any disclosures required under Applicable Law and professional standards;
- safeguarding, crisis handling, and referrals, including identification and management of high-risk situations, escalation to emergency services or competent authorities where required or permitted, and making clinically appropriate referrals or recommendations for in-person care;
- clinical recordkeeping and retention, including creation, maintenance, security, and retention of clinical records/notes in accordance with Applicable Law, regulator requirements, and professional standards, and handling lawful requests related to continuity of care (subject to confidentiality obligations).
- For clarity, the Healthcare Professional (not the Platform) is responsible for complying with all clinical, licensing, regulatory, ethical, and professional obligations applicable to the Healthcare Professional and the services provided to you.
- A Healthcare Professional may decline to provide services, stop a session, or refer you to in-person care or emergency services if clinically appropriate, if required by Applicable Law, or if you breach these Terms or the provider's reasonable session rules, including where:

- You acknowledge the Platform does not and cannot validate the clinical accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness of any advice, diagnosis, assessment, documentation, or outcome and does not supervise, direct, or control the Healthcare Professional's clinical judgment or the quality of clinical services. Any clinical information, recommendations, or services are provided solely by the Healthcare Professional, and (to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law) the Platform is not responsible or liable for the Healthcare Professional's acts or omissions, clinical outcomes, or any User reliance on the Healthcare Professional's advice.

The Platform and/or Healthcare Professional may end and reschedule a session if technical issues prevent safe or effective delivery of services.
EMERGENCY, SAFETY, AND REPORTING

If you are in immediate danger or believe you may harm yourself or others, you must contact emergency services immediately and/or go to the nearest emergency department. The Platform does not provide crisis hotlines or real-time emergency response and may not be monitored continuously.

You further acknowledge that the Healthcare Professional may request information from you for safety purposes (including your current location and an emergency contact), and you agree to provide such information accurately where requested.
- The Platform may take reasonable administrative actions to protect safety and the integrity of the Platform Services, including warnings, restrictions, suspension/termination, and cooperation with lawful requests from competent authorities, regulators, or emergency responders, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. For the purpose of clarity (a) the Platform's safety actions are administrative/operational in nature (for example, account restrictions, routing safety resources, fraud prevention, and incident intake) and do not constitute clinical services, clinical supervision, or a guarantee of safety; (b) the Platform does not assume responsibility for emergency response or clinical crisis management; and (c) any Platform intervention (including contacting you with general emergency resources) does not create a duty of care for clinical matters and does not replace your obligation to contact emergency services when needed.
