Terms of use

By using this site you agree to these terms. They are written to be readable rather than impressive.

Last reviewed

1. Agreement

These terms govern your use of PocketsInfo at https://pocketsinfo.com. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

2. The site is information, not medical care

This is the most important term here. PocketsInfo publishes general health information for education. It does not diagnose, does not prescribe, and does not replace advice from a qualified professional who knows your circumstances. The full position is set out in our medical disclaimer, which forms part of these terms.

3. Permitted use

You may read, print and share our pages for personal, non-commercial use, and quote short extracts with clear attribution and a link. You may not:

  • republish substantial parts of the site, or scrape it at scale, without written permission;
  • present our content as your own, or strip out attribution, sourcing or review dates;
  • use the site to provide medical advice to others as if it were clinical guidance;
  • interfere with the site's operation, security or availability, or attempt unauthorised access;
  • use automated systems in a way that degrades the service for others.

4. Intellectual property

The original text, design, code and graphics on this site belong to PocketsInfo unless stated otherwise. Third-party source material — including data from the U.S. National Library of Medicine, openFDA and the World Health Organization — remains subject to its own terms and is attributed where used. Nothing on this site implies endorsement by those bodies.

5. External links

We link to external sources so you can verify what we publish. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or privacy practices.

6. Advertising

The site carries advertising, which is what keeps it free. Ads are served by third parties and are not endorsements. Any dealing you have with an advertiser is between you and them. See our advertising disclosure.

7. Availability and changes

We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the site at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may also update these terms; continued use after a change means you accept the revised version.

8. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including as to accuracy, completeness, currency or fitness for a particular purpose.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PocketsInfo and its contributors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special loss, or for any loss, injury or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

9. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify PocketsInfo against claims arising from your misuse of the site or breach of these terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have exclusive jurisdiction, without affecting any mandatory consumer protections available to you where you live.
