4. Not medical, legal, or professional advice

The content on this Site is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, not a substitute for professional medical judgment, and not a diagnosis or treatment plan. Always consult a qualified pediatrician or other healthcare provider with any questions you have about your child's development, health, behavior, sleep, or feeding. Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you read on this Site. Every baby develops at their own pace.

8. Third-party links and services

The Site may link to third-party websites and uses third-party services such as Cloudflare and Resend. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of those third parties. Your use of any linked site is at your own risk and subject to that site's own terms.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or any applicable law. You may close your account at any time by contacting us. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law, will survive.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any information provided through the Site will be accurate, complete, or current.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kristen Garibay will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from or relating to your use of the Site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those places, the limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Kristen Garibay from any claim, loss, liability, demand, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Site, or your violation of any law or right of a third party.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in North Carolina, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable rights you have under the law of your home jurisdiction.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "last updated" date above and, for account holders, give reasonable notice by email or in-portal notice. Continued use of the Site after the update means you accept the revised Terms.

16. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements.
