Disclaimer and limitation of liability – General

We aim for our website content to be accurate and up to date but do not accept any responsibility for errors or omissions. We may amend our website content at any time without notice.

Nothing on this website is intended to be taken as treatment, advice or diagnosis of breast cancer, lymphoedema or other health needs. You must see a qualified health practitioner and discuss options for treatment before making a decision about your treatment. Always seek the advice of a health care professional for appropriate medical advice.

The exercises offered in our videos and programs are demonstrated by a qualified cancer rehabilitation occupational therapist and qualified lymphoedema practitioner. These exercises are demonstrated for individuals who have been diagnosed by their treating health practitioner as experiencing a stage of breast cancer, whether before or after surgery, with the aim of decreasing the probability of the onset of lymphoedema or lymphoedema becoming worse.

Any case studies included on our website may have been created from a compilation of the circumstances affecting more than one patient and may not apply to your circumstances. Results achieved with one patient may not be achievable with another patient.

Where we have used case studies of real patients, we have first obtained their permission to use their personal information and any associated images. Names may have been changed at the request of the patient.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, anything contained in our membership services or on our website is provided "as is" without warranty or condition of any kind. Where warranties are implied by law, our liability will be limited in respect of any claim to, at our option, supplying the services again, or remedying the fault in the service.

You agree that our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to your use of our membership services and/or website is limited to the amount actually received by us from you in the 3 months immediately prior to the date of the claim(s), even if that amount was zero.

This disclaimer applies to the fullest extent permitted by law and survives any termination or expiration of this agreement or your use of our membership services.

Social media rules of engagement

Our goal is for people to feel safe and included when using our social media platforms. We have a varied community that may include users from multiple countries and at different ages and stages in their health journey. All are welcome here.
If you use any of our social media platforms as a condition of use you agree:
  • To not to post or distribute any inappropriate, profane, defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent or unlawful topic, whether included in your username or in any material or information;
  • To not to post inappropriately negative, rude or attacking comments. Don't be nasty or make others feel they are not valued;
  • To keep your posts on topic;
  • To not use 'pitching' or lead generation. We have a strict 'no shopping for customers policy'. This means you may not sell products or services, direct users to blogs, websites or affiliate products or ask members to join other Facebook groups or communities. This applies both as direct posts and private messages. Please view the group as your peers, not your leads;
  • To respect the privacy of others. Content gathered from our social media platforms cannot be collected, repackaged or shared outside the group. Every member of our communities has the right to privacy and to feel safe that their questions, answers and shared experiences remain privy to group members only.
  • Not having a clear and safe environment to practice in.
We do not endorse any products or services of third parties.
As our communities are large, if you see posts you believe are questionable, please report them to us by email at [email protected] or you can reach out to our community manager directly by private message. We may at our discretion moderate our social media platforms, however we are not obliged to do so.

If we find users breaking our rules and we consider the offence to be suitable serious, we reserve the right to permanently exclude them from our community, including immediately terminating any paid membership they hold. We may also contact the authorities and share post content and corresponding user personal information with relevant authorities if we are concerned about the safety of any person.

If we consider the rule breaches to be less serious, we will exercise our discretion regarding that user's continued access to the group.

While me may enforce this policy against a user, we are not obliged to do so.

End.
