D. No Medical or Nutritional Advice

This is among the most important sections of these terms. The content published on Sikole does not constitute medical advice, nutritional advice, dietary guidance, or any form of health-related recommendation directed at individual users.

Content on this website describes general research findings and behavioral patterns in general terms. It is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional, registered dietitian, or licensed nutritionist.

E. Disclaimers

This website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. Sikole makes no representations about the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of the content on this website.

Nutritional and behavioral science is a developing field. Research findings evolve, and content on this platform may not reflect the most current studies or consensus positions. We make reasonable efforts to present information accurately but do not warrant that all content is error-free or up to date at all times.

Sikole does not warrant that the website will be available at all times, free from errors, or free from viruses or other harmful components. We reserve the right to suspend, modify, or discontinue any part of the website at any time without notice.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Sikole, its operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, this website or its content.

This limitation applies regardless of whether such damages are based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory, and even if Sikole has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you in full.

G. Third-Party Content and Links

This website may reference or link to third-party websites, research publications, or external sources. Such references are provided for informational context only. Sikole does not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of third-party sources.
