1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Trouvera (located at trouvera.org), a service of Trouvera, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to all of these terms, do not use this website.

2. No Medical Advice

Trouvera provides research summaries and educational information compiled from published medical literature and clinical trial records. Nothing on this website constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Trouvera does not diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease. Trouvera does not practice medicine in Utah or any other state. We do not provide diagnoses or treatment recommendations. The individuals who write and review these guides are not licensed physicians or other healthcare providers, and the production of these guides does not constitute the practice of medicine.

Your use of this website does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-patient, clinician-patient, or any other healthcare provider-patient or fiduciary relationship between you and Trouvera or any of its contributors.

Some sections discuss drugs approved for conditions other than the diseases covered in our guides. The FDA has not approved these drugs for those diseases. All off-label and investigational information is provided for educational research context only and does not constitute a recommendation for use. Using a drug off-label is a decision between the patient and their prescribing physician.

Survival statistics, trial results, and molecular marker interpretations referenced in our guides are from specific studies and do not predict or guarantee any individual outcome. Many factors influence prognosis.

You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this website.

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately. Trouvera does not recommend or endorse any specific tests, physicians, products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may appear on this site.

This website is directed at adults. Pediatric cases involve different considerations and treatment plans not covered here. This website is not directed at children under 18; minors should not provide personal information through this site.

3. No Product Endorsements

Trouvera does not offer, promote, or sell any product or service intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. References to medications, therapies, medical devices, clinical trials, or treatment protocols are provided solely for informational and educational purposes and should not be interpreted as endorsements or recommendations.

Trouvera has no financial relationship with any pharmaceutical company, medical device manufacturer, treatment center, or healthcare provider mentioned in its guides unless explicitly disclosed. If any material connection exists, it will be clearly and conspicuously disclosed in compliance with FTC Endorsement Guides.
