Terms of Service
The plain-language rules for using this site. The most important one: this is personal experience, not medical advice.
2.1Agreement to these terms
By using ramsayhuntsyndrome.com (the “Site”), you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy. The Site is owned and operated by Debrosland, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the Site.
2.2This is personal experience, not medical advice
Everything on this Site is one patient’s lived experience, shared for information and support. It is not medical advice, it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional, and using the Site does not create a doctor–patient relationship. In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number. Full detail is in our Medical Disclaimer.
2.3What this Site is
This is a free, personal field guide. Nothing is sold to you directly on this Site.
- Affiliate links. Some links to products or tools may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These are personal accounts of what one patient used — not endorsements, and not medical recommendations.
- No professional relationship. Reading the Site, emailing us, or subscribing to the newsletter does not create any medical, legal, or professional relationship.
2.4Intellectual property
The writing, images, the Gilbert character, and other content on this Site are owned by Debrosland, LLC and are protected by copyright and other laws. You’re welcome to read, print, and share links for personal, non-commercial use. Please don’t republish, sell, or present the content as your own without written permission.
2.5Submissions & contributed content
This Site may invite you to share your own experience — your story, an article, a photo, a message, or similar material (your “Submission”). Sharing is always optional, and it means a lot when you do. If you send us something, here is the deal, in plain terms.
Contributing something doesn’t sign it over to us. You keep ownership of your words — what you give us is permission to share them, and the right to be credited however you choose.
- You keep ownership; you grant us a license to use it. By sending a Submission, you grant Debrosland, LLC a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, publish, display, reproduce, adapt, translate, and distribute it — on this Site, in our newsletters and guides, on our social channels, and in related promotional and marketing materials across Debrosland properties. You keep ownership of your Submission and may continue to use it yourself however you like.
- You choose how you’re credited. Tell us how you’d like to appear — your full name, first name only, or fully anonymous — and we’ll honor that choice. Change your mind and we’ll update how you’re credited going forward.
- We may lightly edit. We may edit a Submission for length and clarity, and to fit the Site, without changing the meaning of what you shared. We’re never obligated to publish anything, and we may decline or take down a Submission at any time.
- It has to be yours to share. By submitting, you confirm the Submission is your own experience and your own words (or that you otherwise have the right to share it), that it doesn’t infringe anyone else’s rights, and that you won’t include private health details about other people without their permission.
- Changed your mind? Email us and we’ll remove your Submission from the Site going forward. We may not be able to recover copies already printed, cached, or shared elsewhere, but we’ll stop using it. How we handle any personal information in a Submission is covered by our Privacy Policy.
2.6Links to other sites
We link to third parties — hospitals, foundations, and retailers — because they may help you. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, accuracy, or their own terms and privacy practices. Following an external link is at your own discretion.
2.7No warranties
We work hard to keep the Site accurate and current, but medicine evolves and individual situations differ. The Site is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, and we do not guarantee that it is complete, error-free, or right for your particular circumstances.
2.8Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Debrosland, LLC will not be liable for any damages arising from your use of, or reliance on, this Site or its content. Decisions about your health and care are yours to make with your qualified professionals.
2.9Dispute resolution, arbitration & governing law
This section requires most disputes to be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, and it waives your right to a jury trial and to join a class action.
- Talk to us first. If you have a concern, please email us before anything formal — we would genuinely rather resolve it directly, and most things can be.
- Binding arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site that is not resolved informally shall be settled by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator.
- Individual claims only (class-action waiver). Claims must be brought in your individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or member of any class, collective, or representative proceeding. You and Debrosland, LLC each waive the right to a jury trial.
- Governing law & venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Arbitration shall take place in Colorado, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction there. Where arbitration does not apply, exclusive venue lies in the state or federal courts located in Colorado.
- Small claims & your right to opt out. Either party may still bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing us within 30 days of first accepting these Terms; opting out won’t affect the rest of these Terms.
2.10Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms. The “Last updated” date above reflects the current version.
