Clinical decisions should always be made by licensed medical professionals based on their assessment of individual patient circumstances, current clinical guidelines, and their professional expertise.

Psychpedia does not establish a doctor-patient relationship. Your use of our Service does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-patient, or any other professional relationship between you and Psychpedia, its owners, employees, or content contributors. No healthcare provider-patient relationship is formed through your use of this Service.

If you have a medical emergency, call your local emergency services immediately. For medical questions or concerns, consult with a qualified healthcare provider. Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of information you have read or learned through our Service.

While Psychpedia is designed to help you prepare for examinations and enhance your psychiatric knowledge, we make no guarantees, representations, or warranties regarding your performance on any examination, test, or assessment. Your success on examinations depends on numerous factors beyond our control, including your individual study habits, prior knowledge, test-taking skills, and the specific requirements of the examination you are taking.

We do not guarantee that using our Service will result in passing any examination, achieving any particular score, or meeting any specific educational or professional goals. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or currency of all content, although we strive to maintain high-quality, evidence-based educational materials.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure. We do not guarantee that the content is accurate, complete, or current, or that it will help you pass any examination or achieve any specific outcome.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Psychpedia AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (Royal Decree M/19 of 9/2/1443H) and its implementing regulations.

In the event of any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service, the parties shall first attempt to resolve the dispute amicably through good-faith negotiation for a period of thirty (30) days from the date one party notifies the other in writing of the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, it shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

All notices and communications under these Terms shall be in writing (including email) and shall be deemed duly given:

• To us: via email to support@psychpedia.com. Notices to us are deemed received on the date of actual receipt.

You are responsible for keeping your account email address current. Failure to do so does not relieve you of the obligation to comply with notices sent to your last known email address.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Psychpedia with respect to the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and agreements, whether oral or written.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

No Waiver. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us to be effective.
