1. Informational Purpose Only
Content published by the Integrative Medicine Chamber of Commerce (IMCC) is provided for general informational, educational, professional, organizational, and advocacy purposes. IMCC does not provide individualized medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, emergency care, or other clinical services through imcc.us.
2. No Clinician-Patient Relationship
Using the IMCC website, reading IMCC content, participating in the Member Forum, contacting IMCC, or viewing a member directory profile does not create a clinician-patient relationship with IMCC or with any person merely because that person is an IMCC member or appears on the website.
3. Consult an Appropriate Qualified Professional
Health decisions should be made with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional who can evaluate the individual circumstances. Do not delay or disregard professional medical advice because of information found on the IMCC website, in member-generated content, or through a link from the website.
4. Emergencies
IMCC does not provide emergency medical services and does not monitor website forms or email as an emergency channel. If you believe you may have a medical emergency, call 911 in the United States or contact the appropriate local emergency service where you are located.
5. Member Directory
The authenticated IMCC Member Directory is a membership feature. A listing identifies information supplied for an eligible directory profile; it is not an IMCC referral, recommendation, endorsement, credentialing decision, or guarantee of competence, treatment quality, availability, or outcome.
IMCC does not verify degrees, licenses, certifications, professional affiliations, or other credentials merely because they are displayed or described by a member. Users are responsible for conducting their own due diligence and for verifying any professional qualification that matters to their decision.
6. Member Forum and Member-Generated Content
Statements posted by members in the Member Forum or other interactive areas are the responsibility of the person who posted them. Member-generated content reflects the member's own views and does not represent an endorsement or statement by IMCC. IMCC may enforce its Terms and Forum rules when content violates those rules or applicable law, but IMCC does not pre-approve every member statement.
7. Evidence, Editorial Review, and Corrections
IMCC intends to publish clinical, policy, and educational claims under its editorial standard. Material claims should identify reliable sources, an author or responsible editor, publication and review dates, material limitations, and relevant conflicts. IMCC intends to correct material errors promptly and show the corrected date when appropriate.
Even reviewed information can become outdated or may not apply to a particular person. Scientific evidence, clinical standards, regulations, and professional guidance can change.
8. Natural, Integrative, Regenerative, and Conventional Approaches
IMCC's mission includes integrative care and advocacy concerning evidence-informed natural and regenerative therapies. The presence of a therapy, viewpoint, profession, product, service, or policy position on the website does not by itself mean that IMCC represents it as safe, effective, appropriate, lawful, licensed, or supported for every use or every person.
9. Sponsors, Partners, and Commercial Information
Sponsorship or partnership does not constitute IMCC endorsement of a sponsor, product, service, or health claim. Sponsors do not control IMCC's editorial, governance, membership, or advocacy decisions. Material sponsor relationships and relevant conflicts should be disclosed where appropriate.
10. Products and Services
IMCC does not guarantee the safety, effectiveness, regulatory status, quality, legality, or suitability of a product or service merely because a company is an IMCC member, sponsor, partner, or participant. Users should evaluate products and services independently and consult appropriate qualified professionals when needed.
11. External Links and Third-Party Content
Links to external websites, studies, articles, professional profiles, organizations, or other resources are provided for convenience or context. IMCC does not control third-party content and does not guarantee that third-party information is complete, accurate, secure, current, or appropriate for any particular person.
12. No Guarantee of Outcomes
Health outcomes vary. IMCC does not guarantee a clinical outcome, cure, prevention result, safety result, professional referral result, or other health outcome based on website content, membership, directory use, forum participation, or participation in an IMCC program.
13. Do Not Submit Private Medical Information
Do not send medical records, diagnoses, treatment details, or other sensitive health information through IMCC's general contact, membership, sponsorship, accessibility, or other nonclinical website forms. If such information is submitted accidentally, IMCC may restrict access to it and handle or delete it according to the Privacy Policy, operational needs, and applicable law.
14. Legal, Regulatory, Financial, and Tax Information
Website content about legislation, regulation, reimbursement, business operations, tax matters, or other nonclinical subjects is informational and does not replace advice from a qualified attorney, accountant, financial professional, regulator, licensing authority, or other appropriate adviser.
15. Geographic Differences
IMCC membership may include participants in the United States and internationally. Laws, licensing rules, standards of care, scope-of-practice requirements, product rules, and availability of therapies differ by jurisdiction. Website content should not be assumed to describe the law or professional requirements in every location.
16. Contact
