TERMS & CONDITIONS
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF USE BEFORE USING ANY PAGE(S) IN THE DOMAINS fca.com or fcastore.com (collectively, the “site”)
By using this site, you agree to these terms of use. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY OF THESE TERMS OF USE, DO NOT USE THIS SITE.
FC&A Publishing® and FC&A Medical Publishing® (collectively, “FC&A”) may revise or update these terms from time to time. Your continued use of this site will indicate that you accept those changes. Thank you.
In a nutshell, treat the information on this site, and in products sold on this site, the way you would treat information you read in a newspaper or magazine — that is, with the understanding that just because the information is reported or explained, this does not mean that the publisher agrees with, recommends, or advocates it.
FC&A does not perform medical studies, or provide financial services, or engage in product testing, or anything of the sort. Our purpose is simply to provide the general public with information regarding the opinions, research, and experiences of others. In fact, at times we may report the opinions of experts who disagree about controversial topics, undecided issues, or other matters of opinion, in order to provide our readers with all sides of a story.
No book or Web site providing general information can possibly know of or anticipate the individual circumstances of the people who access it. The decision of whether or how to use such information is ENTIRELY YOURS. Only you are able to evaluate the risks and benefits of using such general information for yourself. Although FC&A obviously has no control over any reader’s actions, we care about our readers, and therefore WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that any general health, financial, consumer, and other information (whether reported on by us, or any other media outlet) be used in conjunction with the specific advice of competent professionals, such as your doctor, attorney, financial advisor, etc. who know you and are familiar with your circumstances.
We strive for the highest quality and accuracy in our products, both online and in print. But just as with any other media, mistakes are bound to happen from time to time. We make every effort to correct any mistakes in our materials as quickly as possible. If you believe you have spotted an error on this site, please contact the webmaster.
All the text, graphics, layouts, and other contents on this site, as well as in our books, are the property of FC&A, or have been licensed for use by FC&A, and are protected by copyright, without exception, unless otherwise noted. IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO REPRINT, REPUBLISH, OR DISTRIBUTE any of it, in any form whatsoever, without specific written permission from FC&A.
We hope you’ll enjoy our site, our books, and our products. Thanks for visiting us. Please continue reading for detailed information.
THIS SITE DOES NOT PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE — MEDICAL, LEGAL, OR OTHERWISE
FC&A publishes the opinions of experts in many fields, as well as case histories, anecdotes, traditional lore, and opinions of experienced laypersons, which are intended FOR A GENERAL AUDIENCE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. No other purpose is expressed or implied.

Always consult a competent professional for answers to your specific questions. Never disregard professional advice or delay or avoid obtaining it because of something you read on this site, or in products advertised or sold on this site.
The contents of this site — including text, graphics, interfaces, layouts, and all other elements and their arrangements — as well as the contents of books published by FC&A which may be referenced, advertised, or sold on this site (collectively, “content”) are the exclusive property of FC&A, or have been licensed by FC&A, and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

*NOTE: Saving a limited amount of content to your personal computer is allowed under the guidelines of “fair use” as long as it is not at any time published, posted, or distributed, or stored in any externally accessible data storage system, in any way. Quoting small portions of text (e.g., a few words or a couple of sentences) with attribution under certain circumstances may also fall under fair use. However, “quoting” large blocks of text is NOT protected by fair use, and is therefore illegal, even if attribution is provided. Fair use laws change from time to time, and can vary according to individual circumstances. IT IS UP TO YOU TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE FAIR USE LAWS WHICH APPLY TO YOU, AND TO COMPLY WITH THEM.
