Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the HealthCompass website (https://healthcompass.site/), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our website.

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to this page. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

2. Website Content Disclaimer

All content published on HealthCompass is provided for informational and educational purposes only. While we strive to present accurate, up-to-date, and evidence-based information, we make no representations or warranties of any kind about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or availability of the content on our website.

Accuracy of Content

• The supplement industry changes rapidly. Formulations, pricing, and availability may change without notice. Product details reflected in our reviews are accurate at the time of publication and may be updated periodically.
• Clinical studies and research references are cited based on available evidence at the time of writing. New research may emerge that changes our understanding of specific ingredients or products.
• We make reasonable efforts to verify information but cannot guarantee that all content is error-free. We encourage readers to verify critical information independently.

No Professional Advice

The content on HealthCompass does not constitute medical, nutritional, or other professional advice. Our reviews, articles, and guides are meant to inform and educate — not to replace consultation with qualified healthcare professionals. Always consult your doctor or licensed healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or modifying any supplement regimen, diet, or exercise program.

3. Affiliate Relationships & Disclosure

HealthCompass participates in affiliate marketing programs. This is a key part of how we sustain our operations and keep our content free for all readers.

What This Means

• Certain links on our website are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you.
• Affiliate commissions do not influence our editorial content, review scores, or product recommendations. Our reviews are based entirely on our independent analysis of clinical evidence, ingredient quality, manufacturing standards, pricing, and customer feedback.
• We clearly disclose affiliate relationships on pages that contain affiliate links, in accordance with FTC guidelines.
• We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews, guaranteed coverage, or favorable rankings. Our editorial process is independent of any commercial relationships.
