Last updated: [NEED DATE OF PUBLICATION]

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of alternativepharmpress.com and any subdomain, feed, or service we operate (the “Site”). By using the Site you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

Who we are & who this is for.

Alternative Pharm Press is an independent editorial publication and brand directory covering kratom, cannabis, CBD, hemp, THC, nootropics, and research peptides from a harm-reduction perspective. The Site is intended for readers at least 21 years old and located in a jurisdiction where access is lawful. You are responsible for confirming the legal status of any product discussed before purchasing or consuming it.

Acceptable use.

You agree not to (a) use the Site to break any law, (b) scrape, mirror, or republish our content without written permission, (c) attempt to interfere with the Site’s security or availability, or (d) impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation.

User-submitted content.

We accept guest-post pitches, brand listing submissions, comments, and reader correspondence. When you submit content, you confirm it is yours to share and grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to publish, edit, excerpt, translate, and archive that content in connection with the Site. We may decline, edit, or remove any submission at our editorial discretion. Paid placements — paid directory tiers and sponsored posts — are clearly labelled and do not influence editorial reviews.

Intellectual property.

All editorial text, graphics, illustrations, and the “Alternative Pharm Press” name and logo are owned by [NEED LEGAL ENTITY NAME] or licensed to it. You may quote short excerpts with attribution and a link back. Anything beyond fair use or fair dealing requires written permission.

Limitation of liability.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Alternative Pharm Press and its contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site, including reliance on any product information published here. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud or for any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Third-party links.

The Site links to retailers, lab-report hosts, scientific databases, and other publishers. We are not responsible for third-party content, products, or practices.

Changes, termination, & governing law.

We may update these Terms; material changes will be noted at the top of this page. We may suspend access to any user who breaches these Terms. These Terms are governed by the laws of [NEED GOVERNING JURISDICTION — typically the state or country of the operating entity], without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be brought in the courts of that jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer-protection law preserves your right to sue locally.
