1. Who we are
The Site is operated by FolkKB (“we”, “us”). You can reach us via Contact us.
2. Information only — not medical advice
FolkKB is an informational and educational reference. Its content is not medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for professional care, and it must not be used for self-treatment or to treat others. Our Disclaimer forms part of these Terms.
3. No professional relationship
Using the Site does not create any doctor–patient, pharmacist, or other professional relationship between you and FolkKB.

The Site is intended for adults. If you are a minor, use it only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

You agree not to misuse the Site — including attempting to disrupt it, scraping or harvesting content at scale, circumventing technical limits, or using it for any unlawful purpose or in a way that could harm others.
6. Intellectual property & sources
The Site’s design, layout, and original text are protected by intellectual-property rights. FolkKB aggregates and cites third-party sources (such as regulatory monographs, scientific literature, and ethnobotanical references) that remain the property of, and subject to the licenses of, their respective owners; we attribute and link to them. You may read and link to our pages for personal, non-commercial use, but you may not republish substantial portions without permission.

The Site may contain advertising, sponsored placements, and affiliate links through which we may earn a commission. These are clearly labeled and are not endorsements or medical advice. See our Advertising disclosure.
8. Third-party links
The Site links to third-party websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, products, or practices, and a link is not an endorsement.

The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, currency, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold FolkKB harmless from any claims or expenses arising out of your misuse of the Site or breach of these Terms.

We may update the Site and these Terms at any time. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
