  • No Guarantee of Validity

    TRIBEMD MAKES NO GUARANTEE OF VALIDITY.

    TribeMD is not a professional health care provider, nor is it a suitable replacement for a licensed healthcare provider.

    TribeMD is intended to be an educational tool, not a tool for any form of healthcare delivery.

    TribeMD does not promote the dissemination of copyrighted material or plagiarism.

    TribeMD encourages you to contact us atcontact@tribemd.com if you have identified any potential copyright violation or any content that might be considered to constitute plagiarism so that we may resolve the issue.

    Below is our statement regarding liability, limitations, warranty, validity, guarantee, negligence, responsibility, damages, product liability, errors, omissions, indemnification, legal action, and contract (or lack thereof of any of the above).

    TribeMD is not a substitute for a licensed health care professional. TribeMD is not intended to guide medical decision making, but is instead intended as an educational tool.

Users are responsible for validating any suggestions provided by AI tools with appropriate medical authorities.
