Content Use Policy

This Content Use Policy explains how visitors, users, clinicians, educators, researchers, organizations, and other third parties may use content made available through Windows & Waves.

This policy applies to public pages, educational materials, symptom definitions, medication-related information, report counts, database-style pages, visual layouts, charts, summaries, and other informational content made available through the Windows & Waves website or application.

This policy does not give anyone ownership of Windows & Waves content, software, design, branding, databases, or materials. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

You may use Windows & Waves content for your own personal, non-commercial, educational, and self-tracking purposes.

You may read, save, print, or reference individual pages for your own personal use, including when preparing questions for a healthcare provider.

Windows & Waves content is for informational purposes only and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or emergency care.

You may share limited excerpts or links to public Windows & Waves pages for non-commercial educational purposes, as long as you provide clear attribution and do not misrepresent the content.

Acceptable attribution should include the name “Windows & Waves” and a link back to the relevant public page when reasonably possible.

You may not copy, reproduce, or redistribute substantial portions of Windows & Waves content, symptom libraries, medication pages, report counts, charts, or database-style materials without prior written permission.

Clinicians, educators, advocacy groups, and organizations may link to public Windows & Waves pages for informational or educational purposes.

Linking to Windows & Waves does not create a partnership, sponsorship, endorsement, clinical relationship, or approval by Windows & Waves.

You may not imply that Windows & Waves endorses your organization, services, clinical recommendations, products, publications, or materials unless you have written permission from Windows & Waves.

You may not present Windows & Waves content, symptom reports, or report counts as medical advice, confirmed causation, regulatory findings, incidence rates, prevalence rates, or clinical proof.

Windows & Waves may display user-submitted symptom report counts, aggregated summaries, medication class summaries, symptom pages, and related analytics.

These report counts are provided for educational and informational purposes only. They reflect user-submitted reports or curated educational information and do not prove that a medication, medication class, taper, missed dose, dose reduction, reinstatement, discontinuation, or withdrawal process caused a specific symptom.

You may not use report counts as proof of causation, incidence, prevalence, medical risk, or the likelihood that any individual will experience a symptom.

You may not use report counts in a misleading, fear-based, defamatory, exploitative, commercial, or medically unsupported manner.

Unless you have prior written permission from Windows & Waves, you may not:

• Scrape, crawl, harvest, mine, or bulk copy Windows & Waves content, symptom libraries, medication pages, report counts, or database-style materials
• Resell, sublicense, redistribute, or commercially exploit Windows & Waves content, report counts, symptom definitions, medication information, or database-style materials
• Create a competing database, directory, lookup tool, analytics product, or symptom-reporting resource using Windows & Waves content or report counts
• Use automated tools, bots, scripts, browser extensions, or other systems to extract, copy, monitor, or reproduce substantial parts of the Service
• Use Windows & Waves content or report counts to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or build artificial intelligence models, machine learning systems, datasets, embeddings, retrieval systems, or similar technologies
• Remove attribution, alter context, or present Windows & Waves content in a way that is misleading or falsely suggests endorsement
• Use symptom reports, report counts, or educational content as proof of medical causation, confirmed harm, clinical risk, incidence, prevalence, or regulatory findings
• Use Windows & Waves content for unlawful, abusive, deceptive, defamatory, harmful, or exploitative purposes

You may not use Windows & Waves content, public pages, symptom libraries, medication information, report counts, user-submitted reports, summaries, charts, or database-style materials for AI training, model development, dataset creation, data enrichment, embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation systems, or similar purposes without prior written permission.

This restriction applies whether the content is accessed manually, through automated tools, through scraping, through screenshots, through copied text, or through any other extraction method.

You may take screenshots of individual Windows & Waves pages for personal reference, private feedback, troubleshooting, or non-commercial discussion, as long as the screenshots are not used in a misleading way.

You may not use screenshots, charts, layouts, or visual elements from Windows & Waves to imply endorsement, copy the design of the Service, create a competing product, or commercially exploit the Service without permission.

If you want to cite, analyze, reproduce, publish, or discuss Windows & Waves content, symptom reports, report counts, or analytics in research, journalism, academic work, commercial materials, or public reports, you must do so accurately and with appropriate context.

You may not describe Windows & Waves report counts as verified adverse event data, official pharmacovigilance data, confirmed cases, clinical evidence of causation, incidence rates, prevalence rates, or medical risk estimates.

For uses beyond limited linking or brief attributed excerpts, you should request written permission before publishing or reproducing Windows & Waves materials.

If you submit feedback, suggestions, corrections, ideas, feature requests, or other comments to Windows & Waves, you give Windows & Waves permission to use that feedback to improve the Service without obligation to compensate you.

Please do not submit confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information as feedback unless you are comfortable with Windows & Waves using it to evaluate or improve the Service.

To request permission for use that is not allowed by this policy, please contact us and describe the content you want to use, how you want to use it, where it will appear, and whether the use is commercial, educational, research-related, or organizational.

Permission is not granted unless confirmed in writing by Windows & Waves.

We may update this Content Use Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and may provide notice within the Service.

Your continued use of Windows & Waves content after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy.
