The International Association for Premenstrual Disorders (IAPMD) provides educational information, resources, community programs, peer support, and other services to individuals and communities affected by premenstrual disorders. By accessing or using the IAPMD website, resources, programs, or services, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.

1. Educational and Support Purposes

IAPMD provides information, education, resources, advocacy, and peer-support services. Information and support provided by IAPMD are for general informational and educational purposes and are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, psychotherapy, or emergency services.

Participation in IAPMD programs or services does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or other healthcare professional relationship with IAPMD, its staff, volunteers, peer-support providers, advisors, or contributors.

Always seek advice from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional about questions about your health, symptoms, diagnosis, or treatment.

2. Crisis and Emergency Situations

IAPMD is not an emergency or crisis-response service.

If you believe you or another person is in immediate danger or requires urgent medical or mental health assistance, contact the appropriate emergency or crisis service in your location.

3. Privacy

Your use of IAPMD's website and services may involve the collection or processing of personal information. Please review our Privacy Policy for information about how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected.

Information shared through IAPMD programs or services will be handled in accordance with applicable policies and laws. Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed in all circumstances. Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to protect the safety of an individual or others, comply with applicable law or legal process, operate or administer IAPMD's services, or otherwise as described in our Privacy Policy and applicable program policies.

4. Appropriate Use

You agree to use IAPMD's website, programs, communities, and services lawfully and respectfully.

IAPMD may restrict or terminate access to programs, communities, or services when reasonably necessary to protect participants, staff, volunteers, the organization, or the integrity and operation of its services, including in response to harassment, threatening behavior, misuse of services, or violations of applicable program or community guidelines.

5. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, content created by IAPMD, including text, graphics, educational materials, publications, downloadable resources, and other original content, is owned by or licensed to IAPMD and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Materials made available for personal use may be downloaded or used for personal, non-commercial purposes unless otherwise indicated. IAPMD content may not be reproduced, republished, sold, modified, distributed, or used commercially without permission where permission is required.

6. Accuracy of Information

IAPMD works to provide accurate, evidence-informed, and current information. However, medical knowledge, research, recommendations, resources, and external information can change over time.

IAPMD does not guarantee that all website content will always be complete, current, or free from errors. We may update, correct, add, or remove content as appropriate.

7. Third-Party Websites and Services

IAPMD may provide links to third-party websites, resources, platforms, providers, research, or services for informational or convenience purposes.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, inclusion of a third-party link or resource does not constitute endorsement by IAPMD. IAPMD does not control and is not responsible for the content, availability, privacy practices, security practices, or services of third parties.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, IAPMD is not responsible for losses or damages arising from reliance on general educational information or from circumstances outside IAPMD's reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or limit any liability or legal right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

9. Harassment and Community Conduct

IAPMD is committed to maintaining respectful and inclusive environments. Harassment, discrimination, threats, abuse, or other conduct that violates IAPMD's applicable community or program guidelines may result in restriction or removal from IAPMD programs, platforms, or services.

Concerns about conduct related to an IAPMD program or service may be submitted via IAPMD's Contact or Feedback page.

10. Accessibility

IAPMD is committed to improving the accessibility of its website, resources, and digital services. We are working toward alignment with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA where reasonably practicable.

Because our website includes legacy materials and content or services provided through third-party platforms, some content may not yet fully meet this accessibility target.

If you experience an accessibility barrier or need information or a resource in an alternative format, please contact us at info@iapmd.org. We will make reasonable efforts to provide access or an appropriate alternative.

11. Non-Discrimination and Inclusion

IAPMD is committed to providing an inclusive environment and does not discriminate on the basis of characteristics protected by applicable law.

Our resources and services are intended to support the diverse community of people affected by premenstrual disorders.

12. Changes to These Terms

IAPMD may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time to reflect changes to our services, practices, or legal obligations.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the website or services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado and applicable federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where the laws of another jurisdiction must apply.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit rights available to individuals under applicable law.
