Any use by you of the optional tools offered through the site is entirely at your own risk and discretion and you should ensure that you are familiar with and approve of the terms on which tools are provided by the relevant third-party provider(s).

We may also, in the future, offer new Services and/or features through the website (including, the release of new tools and resources). Such new features and/or Services shall also be subject to these Terms of Service.

SECTION 7A - SYMPTOM TRACKER & WELLNESS LOGGING TOOLS

Be Balanced by Micaela LLC may offer clients access to symptom tracking tools, wellness logging features, or self-monitoring resources (collectively, the "Tracker") through our website, client portal, or affiliated platforms. Use of the Tracker is entirely voluntary. You are under no obligation to use, complete, or submit any tracking data as a condition of your participation in our programs or services.

Educational Purpose Only

The Tracker is provided solely as a self-monitoring and educational support tool. It is not a diagnostic instrument, clinical assessment, or medical device. Information logged in the Tracker—including but not limited to symptoms, bowel habits, sleep, mood, energy levels, food intake, and cycle data—is for your personal reference and to support conversation with your wellness practitioner. It does not constitute a clinical evaluation, and no entry or pattern identified through the Tracker should be interpreted as a diagnosis or medical opinion.

Voluntary Participation & No Obligation to Share

Your use of the Tracker is self-directed and voluntary at every stage. You choose what to log, how frequently to log, and whether to share any logged information with your practitioner or with Be Balanced by Micaela LLC. We will never require you to submit tracking data as a condition of receiving services. You may discontinue use of the Tracker at any time without affecting your enrollment or access to other services.

No Guarantee of Review or Response

While your practitioner may reference Tracker data during appointments if you choose to share it, Be Balanced by Micaela LLC does not guarantee that any submitted tracking information will be reviewed, acknowledged, or acted upon within any specific timeframe. The Tracker is not a substitute for direct communication with your practitioner and should not be used to report urgent or emergent health concerns. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911 or contact your physician immediately.

Limitation of Liability for Tracker Use

Be Balanced by Micaela LLC, its owners, practitioners, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any harm, injury, loss, or adverse outcome arising from your use of or reliance on the Tracker or any information logged within it. This includes, without limitation, any decisions you make regarding your diet, supplements, medications, physical activity, or medical care based on patterns or data observed through the Tracker.

You acknowledge and agree that: (a) use of the Tracker is at your sole risk and discretion; (b) the Tracker does not replace the advice of a licensed medical provider; (c) Be Balanced by Micaela LLC is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or interpretation of any data you enter; (d) no practitioner-patient or provider-client relationship is created or implied solely by your use of the Tracker; and (e) you will not use the Tracker as your sole or primary means of monitoring any medical condition.

Data & Privacy

Any information you voluntarily enter into the Tracker is subject to our Privacy Policy. We handle all logged health data with care and will not sell or share it with third parties without your written consent, except as required by law. As noted in Section 1, Be Balanced by Micaela LLC is not a HIPAA-covered entity, and Tracker data should not be considered protected health information under HIPAA. Please do not enter sensitive identifying medical records or data through any unencrypted platform or tool.

SECTION 7B - AI-ASSISTED & AUTOMATED CONTENT

Certain features of our website, client portal, and tools — including wellness protocols, plans, summaries, and any chat or messaging assistant — may be generated or drafted, in whole or in part, using artificial intelligence and other automated systems. While a practitioner reviews protocol content before it is released to you, AI-assisted and automated output may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies and is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation, and it does not replace consultation with a licensed healthcare provider.

You agree not to rely on any AI-assisted or automated content as a substitute for professional medical judgment, and you acknowledge that Be Balanced by Micaela LLC is not liable for any decision you make or action you take based on such content. Any chat or messaging assistant is not monitored in real time, is not a crisis or emergency service, and must never be used to report urgent or emergent health concerns. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911 or contact your physician immediately.

SECTION 7C - PLATFORM AVAILABILITY & DATA

Our website, client portal, tracker, and related software (collectively, the "Platform") are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or free of bugs, viruses, or other harmful components, and we may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Platform at any time without notice.

We do not guarantee that any information you enter or store — including tracking data, intake responses, messages, or other content — will be retained, backed up, or recoverable, and we are not responsible for any loss, corruption, or deletion of your data. You are solely responsible for maintaining your own copies of any information you wish to keep.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Be Balanced by Micaela LLC and its owners, practitioners, employees, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any harm, loss, or damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Platform, including any downtime, technical failure, interruption, or loss of data.

SECTION 7D - ACCOUNT & ACCESS-LINK SECURITY

Access to the client portal and tracker may be provided through personal login links, magic links, or other access credentials sent to you. These links and credentials are personal to you and grant access to your information. You are responsible for keeping them confidential and for securing any device through which you access the Platform.

Do not share your access links or credentials with anyone, and avoid accessing the Platform on a shared, public, or unsecured device. You are responsible for all activity that occurs through your access links or credentials, and Be Balanced by Micaela LLC is not liable for any unauthorized access to your account or information resulting from your failure to safeguard them or your device. Please notify us promptly if you believe your access has been lost or compromised.

SECTION 7E - THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS & INFRASTRUCTURE

The Platform is built on and depends upon third-party service providers and infrastructure, including but not limited to hosting, data storage, database, email delivery, and artificial-intelligence providers. We do not control these providers and are not responsible or liable for their acts, omissions, outages, errors, security incidents, or data breaches. Your use of the Platform may also be subject to the terms and policies of these underlying providers where applicable.

While we take reasonable steps to work with reputable providers, we cannot and do not guarantee that the Platform or your data will be free from interruption or from unauthorized access arising from a third-party provider.

SECTION 7F - TECHNOLOGY PROVIDER

The Platform may be developed, operated, hosted, or maintained on behalf of Be Balanced by Micaela LLC by one or more independent technology providers, developers, or contractors (each a "Technology Provider"). You agree that every disclaimer, limitation of liability, release, and indemnity in these Terms of Service that applies to Be Balanced by Micaela LLC applies equally to each Technology Provider, who are intended third-party beneficiaries of those provisions.

In no event shall any Technology Provider be liable to you for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind arising from or related to the Platform, your use of or inability to use it, or any content or data within it.

SECTION 7G - TIME TO FILE CLAIMS

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of or relating to the Platform, the Tracker, the Service, or these Terms of Service must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises; otherwise, such claim or cause of action is permanently barred. This limitation is in addition to, and does not limit, the governing-law provisions set out in Section 18.

SECTION 8 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Certain content, products, and Services available via our Service may include materials from third parties.

Third-party links on this site may direct you to third-party websites that are not affiliated with us. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy and we do not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials or websites, or for any other materials, products, or Services of third parties.

We are not liable for any harm or damages related to the purchase or use of goods, Services, resources, content, or any other transactions made in connection with any third-party websites. Please review carefully the third-party's policies and practices and make sure you understand them before you engage in any transaction. Complaints, claims, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products should be directed to the third-party.

SECTION 9 - USER COMMENTS, FEEDBACK AND OTHER SUBMISSIONS

If, at our request, you send certain specific submissions (for example contest entries) or without a request from us you send creative ideas, suggestions, proposals, plans, or other materials, whether online, by email, by postal mail, or otherwise (collectively, 'comments'), you agree that we may, at any time, without restriction, edit, copy, publish, distribute, translate and otherwise use in any medium any comments that you forward to us. We are and shall be under no obligation (1) to maintain any comments in confidence; (2) to pay compensation for any comments; or (3) to respond to any comments.

We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit or remove content that we determine in our sole discretion to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable or violates any party’s intellectual property or these Terms of Service.

You agree that your comments will not violate any right of any third-party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality or other personal or proprietary right. You further agree that your comments will not contain libelous or otherwise unlawful, abusive or obscene material, or contain any computer virus or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of the Service or any related website. You may not use a false e-mail address, pretend to be someone other than yourself, or otherwise mislead us or third-parties as to the origin of any comments. You are solely responsible for any comments you make and their accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any comments posted by you or any third-party.
