The following disclaimer explains important limitations and responsibilities associated with using our website, participating in our programs, and accessing resources or services through Touch4Life.

1. General Medical Disclaimer

All information provided through Touch4Life's website, educational materials, workshops, videos, events, and community programs is intended for general informational and educational purposes only.

This information does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or individualized healthcare recommendations and should not replace consultation with a licensed healthcare professional.

Always consult your physician or another qualified healthcare provider regarding medical conditions, cancer risk, screening, genetic testing, medications, nutrition, or treatment decisions.

Never disregard or delay professional medical advice because of information provided by Touch4Life.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or seek immediate medical attention.

2. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Using the Touch4Life website, submitting a form, attending a workshop, or participating in an educational program does not establish a doctor-patient relationship with Touch4Life or any healthcare professional participating in its educational activities.

Healthcare relationships with external providers are governed by those providers' own intake, consent, and professional requirements.

3. Clinical Referrals and Partner Services

Touch4Life may connect individuals with independent healthcare professionals and service providers, including genetic counselors, genetic testing services, mental health professionals, telehealth providers, and patient navigation resources.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, these providers operate independently of Touch4Life and are responsible for their own clinical services, recommendations, professional standards, and patient care.

Touch4Life does not guarantee the availability, suitability, quality, or outcomes of services provided by independent third parties.

Individuals are encouraged to verify provider credentials, insurance coverage, costs, privacy policies, and service eligibility before receiving care.

4. B-FRESH Nutrition and Food Programs

Through B-FRESH, Touch4Life may provide nutrition education, recipes, groceries, prepared meals, and community food-related experiences.

All nutrition information is educational and is not a substitute for individualized advice from a physician or registered dietitian.

Food program participation is voluntary. Participants should disclose relevant food allergies and dietary restrictions when requested, review available ingredient information, and consult a healthcare professional when medically necessary.

Although Touch4Life strives to promote appropriate food safety practices, it cannot guarantee that all food products or meals will be free from allergens or suitable for every individual's dietary or medical needs.

Participants and partner distribution sites are responsible for following applicable instructions regarding food handling, storage, preparation, and distribution within their control.

Specific food distribution activities may require additional consent, food safety agreements, or liability provisions.

5. Workshops, Community Events, and Educational Programs

Touch4Life programs, including NARC, SARC, Gold Group, and other educational or community initiatives, are designed to provide information, awareness, resources, and support.

Unless specifically identified as a clinical service, participation does not involve individualized medical treatment, monitoring, diagnosis, or medical advice.

Participants should consider their personal health needs and consult qualified professionals before engaging in physical activities, wellness practices, or health-related interventions.

Event hosts, sponsoring organizations, and participating partners may be subject to separate participation agreements, safety requirements, and liability provisions.

6. Accuracy, Outcomes, and Third-Party Information

Touch4Life strives to provide credible, accurate, and current health information. However, medical knowledge, screening guidelines, and treatment recommendations may change.

Touch4Life makes no guarantee that all educational content will remain complete, accurate, or current.

Individual health experiences and outcomes vary. Information regarding prevention, treatment, recovery, or wellness should not be interpreted as a guarantee of specific results.

Links to third-party websites and resources are provided for convenience and do not necessarily constitute endorsement.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Touch4Life and its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, consultants, and affiliates shall not be liable for damages arising from reliance on general educational information made available through its website or programs, except where such liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

Nothing in this disclaimer is intended to exclude liability that cannot legally be limited, including liability arising from conduct for which applicable law prohibits exclusion.

Separate participation agreements, consent forms, releases, or indemnification provisions may apply to specific events, services, food distribution activities, or partnerships.
