Disclosures and Terms of Use
I. DISCLOSURES
A. Who We Are
EatingDisorders.com operates this website that lists providers of rehabilitation services, including mental health care providers, addiction treatment providers, and physical therapy providers. We are passionate about helping people connect with providers of rehabilitation services. But EatingDisorders.com is not a provider of rehabilitation services or any other healthcare, medical, or psychological services. If you need these services urgently, please call 911.
EatingDisorders.com does not provide healthcare services. Any content it displays is intended to educate you in choosing healthcare providers, not to provide you with diagnosis or treatment advice. You do not form a patient relationship or any other special relationship with EatingDisorders.com by using the website or through any other action.
Just as EatingDisorders.com does not provide healthcare services, it does not provide financial advice or services. You are responsible for the costs of any rehabilitation services you choose to arrange after consulting EatingDisorders.com’s website. If you intend to use public or private insurance to cover your care, please confirm that the provider will accept your insurance.
B. Who Listed Providers Are
EatingDisorders.com strives to list all providers of rehabilitation services we can identify in a given geographic area. We use publicly available information and other data sources to compile listings. To provide users with the widest range of options, we do not evaluate the providers we list. We also do not guarantee the accuracy of any information in our listings or other content. We urge you to use the content of our website as a starting point for further research.
Providers of substance use disorder services do not opt-in to our list. Some providers choose to claim a listing and to modify it—we do not charge a fee for providers to do this. But some providers choose to pay us to provide them with additional advertising services. We charge providers for several services, including (1) displaying banner advertisements, (2) placing their listings at the top of results, (3) providing information about users of the website, (4) placing a dedicated direct-dial number on a listing page, and (5) routing helpline calls you may choose to place.
EatingDisorders.com does not recommend a particular provider to you. Instead, EatingDisorders.com seeks to present you with information so you can make the best decision for you. EatingDisorders.com can help you identify providers in three ways.
- EatingDisorders.com lists providers that may meet the geographical and other criteria you specify. In doing so, EatingDisorders.com may list providers that pay us a fee above those that do not, and EatingDisorders.com may show you paid banner advertisements.
- EatingDisorders.com may provide your contact information to providers who pay us a fee in exchange for it. In doing so, we use a rotation or other method to provide contact information providers that have requested to receive them during a particular time period.
- EatingDisorders.com routes calls placed to EatingDisorders.com’s general helpline to the providers who have paid to receive these calls during the time period in which they are placed. We route these calls in a rotation or using another similar method. In listing providers, communicating your information to providers, and in routing phone calls, we do not attempt to direct you to the provider best suited to your needs.
We urge you to consider several providers and evaluate which fits your needs best.
EatingDisorders.com does not own—and is not owned by—any of the providers we list. We do not have any relationship with any of the listed providers except as a supplier of advertising services for providers that have elected to claim their listings or to purchase other advertising services from us.
We aim to provide users with as broad a list of providers as we can so we do not remove providers on our own initiative for any reason, including in response to user reviews or other user feedback. Occasionally, a provider requests to be removed from our listing, and we remove the provider for that reason.

You are not entitled to any compensation for such advertisements. The manner, mode and extent of such advertising are subject to change without specific notice to you.
The Website may provide links to other websites (whether for substance use disorder/therapy services providers or otherwise) and online resources. EatingDisorders.com also may select certain sites as priority responses to search terms you enter and EatingDisorders.com may agree to allow advertisers to respond to certain search terms with advertisements or advertising-supported content. If you decide to access any of the third-party websites linked to EatingDisorders.com, you do so entirely at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of use for such websites. EatingDisorders.com does not recommend and does not endorse the content on any third-party websites. Because we have no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that EatingDisorders.com is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and that EatingDisorders.com neither endorses nor is responsible or liable for any content, advertising, claims (including certifications, licenses, insurance coverage and/or qualifications claimed), products or other materials on or available through such sites or resources. Additionally, other websites may provide links to the Website with or without our authorization.

When you provide information to EatingDisorders.com in a fillable form, whether or not the information relates to you or to another person, you direct EatingDisorders.com to disclose information about you (or the other person about whom you provide information) to one or more Providers of substance use disorder, or to otherwise interact with one or more Providers of substance use disorder.
In response to this direction, EatingDisorders.com may elect to provide information about you to one or more providers of substance use disorder in exchange for payment from that provider or those providers. One or more providers of substance use disorder may contact you. No such provider is an agent of EatingDisorders.com. That EatingDisorders.com may elect to do this does not obligate EatingDisorders.com to connect you with any provider of substance use disorder. EatingDisorders.com makes no representation about the suitability of any provider of substance use disorder. You agree that EatingDisorders.com bears no responsibility for the nature or quality of services offered or rendered by any provider of substance use disorder. Nor is EatingDisorders.com responsible for any fees you may incur should you choose to receive services from a provider of substance use disorder in connection with your use of the Website.
In your continued access and use of EatingDisorders.com given the disclosures above, you represent that you have read the disclosures above, and you agree that the information
they contain is acceptable to you and forms part of your agreement with EatingDisorders.com.
EatingDisorders.com aims to provide users with information to use as a starting point in researching providers of substance use disorder. You acknowledge that information on the Website—whether contained in EatingDisorders.com-authored articles, listings describing particular providers, or in reviews—and information linked from the Website may not be accurate or complete.
Reviews and star ratings of Service Providers are based on information obtained by or submitted to EatingDisorders.com by third parties and intended to be a starting point to gather information about Service Providers who may be suitable for a particular need. Assessments may vary by individual needs and experiences. A review or star rating is neither an endorsement of any particular Service Provider nor a guarantee of a Service Provider’s quality, safety or results. Further, a review or star rating should not be considered a predictor of the outcome of any rehab/therapy services provided by such Service Provider. As such, users should not rely solely on a review or star rating in deciding whether to contact or engage any given Service Provider.

Your use of the Website, and any information you provide to us while using the Website, is subject to our Privacy Policy. By using the Website, you consent to the use of your information as outlined in our Privacy Policy.
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any principles that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
Any controversy or claim between you and EatingDisorders.com or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, or assigns arising out of or relating to this Agreement, your use of the Website, or your communication with or transactions with a provider of substance use disorder listed on the Website, shall be settled by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and unappealable. The arbitration shall be conducted in Delaware and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect our intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction.
If either party wants to arbitrate a dispute, the party raising the complaint agrees to send written notice to the other party providing a description of the dispute, previous efforts to resolve the dispute, all supporting documents/information, and the proposed resolution. EatingDisorders.com and you each agree to make attempts to resolve this dispute within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the notice to arbitrate. Thereafter, either EatingDisorders.com or you may submit the dispute to formal arbitration.
Both you and EatingDisorders.com each agree not to pursue arbitration on a consolidated, mass, representative, or class basis. Both you and EatingDisorders.com each agree that any arbitration will be solely between you and EatingDisorders.com and not in a class action, mass action, or representative action. If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this bar on consolidated, mass, representative, or class actions is unconscionable or unenforceable, then this agreement to arbitrate does not apply and the consolidated, mass, representative, or class dispute must be brought in court.
Nothing contained in these Terms will be deemed to constitute either party as the agent or representative of the other party, or both parties as joint venturers or partners for any purpose.
You may not assign, delegate or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms. We may assign our rights and duties under these Terms without such assignment being considered a change to the Terms and without notice to you.
We may modify these Terms, at any time, by posting notice thereof on the Website.

If you object to any provision of these Terms or any subsequent modifications to these Terms or become dissatisfied with the Website, your only recourse is to immediately terminate use of the Website.
If we fail to act with respect to your breach or anyone else’s breach on any occasion, we are not waiving our right to act with respect to future or similar breaches. If a court finds any term of this Agreement to be unenforceable or invalid, that term will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and all other Terms will remain valid and enforceable. These Terms, together with those agreements made a part of these Terms by reference, make up the entire agreement between us relating to your use of the Website. You acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms, and that these Terms have the same force and effect as a signed agreement.
