Terms of use

Effective September 25, 2026. Last updated October 10, 2026.

These terms are the agreement between you and EBO2.com for using ebo2.com and app.ebo2.com. They are long because they cover a directory of clinics, a library of research, reports, tools, data files you can download, accounts, and the things you can send us. Each section starts with the rule, then explains why it exists and what you can do about it.

1. About these terms

Who we are

These terms of use are an agreement between you and EBO2.com ("we," "us," or "our"), 1968 S. Coast Hwy, #1921, Laguna Beach, CA 92651, United States. We are an independent publisher. We are not a clinic, we do not provide or sell any treatment, and we are not owned by or affiliated with any clinic, device maker, or ozone-therapy trade group.

The two sites

The terms cover two websites. ebo2.com publishes information about EBO2 (also called EBOO), an ozone blood therapy: guides with cited sources, an annotated library of published studies, a free directory of clinics, state and city pages, reports computed from the records we keep, four free tools that run in your browser, data files you can download, a FAQ, a glossary, a contact form, and a page where clinics can request or claim a listing. app.ebo2.com is a separate application for accounts. Today it offers sign-up and sign-in. Posting comments, claiming or editing a clinic listing from your account, and subscribing to a newsletter are planned for app.ebo2.com; wherever these terms describe one of those features, the description applies from the day it is available.

When this agreement forms

You accept these terms by using either site. If you create an account, you also accept them expressly: the sign-up form asks you to confirm that you are 18 or older and that you agree to these terms, and our database records the version you accepted and when (section 4 explains). If you do not agree, do not use the Sites.

How these terms relate to our other pages

Words with a special meaning

If two documents disagree

If separate terms apply to a paid feature, they control for that feature (section 11). On how we handle personal information, the privacy policy, cookie policy, and consumer health data policy control, and the consumer health data policy controls for consumer health data. On what you may do with a Data File, the license named on our data page controls, and nothing in these terms takes away a permission that license gives you (section 24). Otherwise these terms control over anything else on the Sites, including a FAQ answer or a sentence in a guide.

2. Not medical advice

General information only

The Sites provide general information for education only. Nothing on them is medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation, and nothing on them tells you whether EBO2 is right for you. Using the Sites, creating an account, or contacting us does not create a doctor-patient or other clinician-patient relationship with us or with anyone who writes or reviews content for us. A "Medically reviewed by" line on a guide means that a named, licensed clinician reviewed that guide; it does not mean that anyone has evaluated you. We cannot answer questions about your own health, including through the contact form.

Do not delay or stop care

Do not delay seeking care, stop or change a treatment your clinician prescribed, or disregard professional advice because of something you read on the Sites. Talk to a licensed clinician who knows your history before you start, stop, or change any treatment, and before you book a session at any clinic in the directory.

Emergencies

If you think you may be having a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number, or go to the nearest emergency room. Do not use the Sites or our contact form for urgent help: messages are answered by people, usually within two business days. Our medical disclaimer lists situations, including ones that can follow a procedure like EBO2, that call for emergency care.

What we say about FDA status, and what we do not say

We say that ozone therapy is not FDA-approved to treat any condition, because that is the position in federal regulation: 21 CFR 801.415 describes ozone as a toxic gas with no known useful medical application in specific, adjunctive, or preventive therapy, and no EBO2 or EBOO device or protocol is FDA-approved to treat any condition. Our guide Is EBO2 FDA approved? sets out the regulation and the warning letters behind it. We do not say that a clinic offering EBO2 is breaking the law, that a particular clinic is safe or unsafe, or that the procedure will or will not work for you. When we describe what a clinic says or what a study found, that description is not a claim that EBO2 is safe or effective for any use.

Individual results vary

People respond differently to any treatment. An outcome in a study describes the people in that study, and an outcome a clinic reports is the clinic's own claim, which we label as clinic-stated. Neither predicts what will happen to you.

Screening topics are information, not screening

Some guides discuss conditions that clinics and practitioner groups commonly list as reasons to avoid or delay ozone therapies, such as pregnancy, G6PD deficiency, bleeding disorders, and taking anticoagulants (blood thinners). That content is there to help you prepare questions. It is not a screening, it cannot tell you whether the procedure is safe for you, and not seeing your situation on a list does not mean it is safe. Only a clinician who examines you and knows your medications can make that judgment.

The Tools, Reports, and Data Files are information too

Everything in this section applies to the Tools, the Reports, and the Data Files. They compare the prices clinics publish, add up costs that you enter, measure straight-line distance, count what clinics state on their own websites, and turn situations our guides describe into questions for your own doctor. None of them weighs your health, and none says whether you can or should have EBO2. The questions tool is labeled as not yet clinically reviewed, and checking a box in it is not a screening. Section 23 describes what each tool does and does not do.

3. Eligibility

Age

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. At sign-up you confirm with a checkbox that you are 18 or older, and your account records that confirmation with the version of these terms you accepted. We close any account that we learn belongs to someone under 18. The Sites are written for adults and are not directed to children under 16.

Capacity

You must be able to form a binding contract where you live. If a court or the law has limited your ability to enter contracts, do not create an account unless the person legally responsible for you agrees to these terms for you.

The laws that apply to you

The Sites are run from the United States and written for readers in the United States. Some countries and states regulate ozone therapy, advertising about health, or health information differently. You are responsible for following the laws that apply where you are, and we do not promise that the Content is appropriate or lawful to use everywhere.

If you have been barred

Do not use the Sites, or create a new account, if we have closed your account or blocked you for breaking these terms, unless we agree in writing. Do not create an account if the law prohibits you from receiving services from a US company (section 21 covers sanctions).

Using the Sites for a clinic or other organization

If you use the Sites for a clinic, company, or other organization, for example to claim a listing, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these terms for it. In that case "you" includes the organization, and it is responsible for what you do for it.

4. Accounts

What we ask for, and why

To create an account you give us an email address and a password. We use the email address to sign you in, to confirm that the address is yours, and to send account emails, such as password resets and notices about these terms. The password protects the account. Once profile editing is available, you will be able to add a display name; it is optional. We do not ask for health information, your date of birth, or your address to open an account.

What we record when you sign up

When you create an account, our database records that you ticked the box confirming you are 18 or older and that you agree to these terms, the version of the terms you accepted (identified by its date), and the time the account was created. You cannot change this record from your account. It lets us show which version of these terms applies to you, which matters when the terms change (section 20). Each account also has a role, such as reader or clinic owner, that controls what it can do.

Email verification

After you sign up, we email you a link to confirm your address. You need to confirm it before you can sign in. If the email does not arrive, check your spam folder, then write to us through the contact form. Account emails come from noreply@ebo2.com. To reach us, use the contact form rather than replying to an account email.

Keep your details accurate

Use an email address that you control, and keep it current. We send notices about your account and about changes to these terms to that address, so a notice sent there counts as given to you even if you no longer read it.

Keep your sign-in safe

Use a strong password that you do not use anywhere else, and do not share it or let anyone else use your account. We will never ask for your password by email or through the contact form. You are responsible for activity in your account that you carry out or allow. If you think someone has used your account without your permission, change your password and tell us promptly through the contact form.

One person, one account

An account is personal to you. Do not create an account for someone else, share one account among several people, or open extra accounts to get around moderation, a suspension, or a limit. Accounts may not be sold, rented, or transferred. A clinic with several staff members should have each person use their own account.

Clinic-owner accounts

When claiming a listing from an account becomes available, an account can be given the clinic-owner role after we confirm the holder's connection to the clinic (section 8 explains how). A clinic-owner account lets you propose changes to that clinic's Listing; every change is reviewed before it is published. It gives no control over our guides, the Library, or other Listings. If you leave the clinic or stop being authorized to act for it, tell us, and we will remove the connection. The clinic can also ask us to remove your access.

Suspending an account

We may suspend or restrict an account if we reasonably believe it breaks these terms or the law, has been compromised, or is being used to harm other people or the Sites. We will tell you why unless the law or a security risk prevents it, and you can reply through the contact form if you think we got it wrong. Section 18 covers suspension and closing in more detail.

Deleting your account

To delete your account, send a request through the contact form, choosing "Privacy or data request." We confirm that the request comes from you, usually by checking that you control the account's email address, and act on it within the times in our privacy policy. Deleting the account deletes, at the same time, your profile, your terms-acceptance record, and the comments, clinic claims, and listing edits stored with it. Copies in our database backups are overwritten within 30 days. Some things stay:

5. Your content

What counts as your content

Your content is anything you send us: comments (when available), clinic submissions such as a request for a new listing, a claim, or a proposed listing edit, corrections and error reports, messages through the contact form, and feedback about the Sites.

You keep ownership

You own what you write. These terms do not transfer ownership of your content to us.

The license you give us, and its limits

By sending content, you give EBO2.com a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, format, and display it on the Sites and to use it as needed to run them: for example, to show an approved comment on the page where you posted it, to use the facts in a claim to update a Listing, or to fix a guide after you report an error. Our hosting, database, and email providers handle it only to provide their services to us. We do not sell your content, and we do not use your name or words to promote the Sites. The license ends when your content is removed from the Sites, except for copies that remain in backups for a limited time, which are overwritten within 30 days, and copies we must keep to comply with the law. Facts you give us about a clinic, such as a corrected phone number, are not owned by anyone; once published, they stay in the Listing.

What you promise about your content

When you send content, you confirm that:

Health information you choose to share

The Sites never ask for health information, but you may decide to mention your health. Where it goes depends on where you write it. In a comment, it becomes public once the comment is approved, and anyone can read it. In a contact-form message, it is delivered by our email provider to our inbox. In a clinic claim or listing edit, it is stored with your account in our app database. Our consumer health data privacy policy explains how we handle it and your rights, including deletion. Before you post, think about whether you want the detail to be public, and never post someone else's health details.

Moderation and removal

Everything that would appear on the Sites is moderated. Each comment is held for approval and appears only if a moderator approves it. We approve or decline comments as written; we do not rewrite them. Clinic submissions are checked before they change a Listing (section 8). We may decline to publish, or later remove, any content at our discretion, and we have no duty to publish or keep anything. Content that breaks these terms or the law will be declined or removed. So will content that makes a medical claim we cannot let stand, even when it is sincere: for example, a comment saying that a session cured a disease, or one telling other readers to stop a prescribed medicine. Approval does not mean that we have checked your content or agree with it. You can ask us to remove your content at any time through the contact form.

After content is removed or deleted

When content is removed or deleted, it stops appearing on the Sites at once or with the next site update. Copies in our database backups are overwritten within 30 days. We may keep what the law requires us to keep, or what we need to handle a legal claim, for as long as that need lasts. We cannot recall copies that others made while the content was public.

Feedback

If you send us ideas or suggestions about the Sites, we may use them to improve the Sites without paying you or owing you anything. You still own what you wrote. Error reports are always welcome; we use them to correct the Content.

6. Acceptable use

What is not allowed

When you use the Sites, you must not:

Search engines, answer engines, and other automated access

We want people who ask a search engine or an AI assistant about EBO2 to reach sourced, dated information, so automated access is welcome from search engines and answer engines that honor our robots.txt file and that link back to the page they draw on when they show or summarize it. robots.txt lists the parts of ebo2.com that crawlers may visit, including by name several AI crawlers that are welcome, and the parts they may not, such as the contact-form endpoint. For AI tools we also publish llms.txt, a short guide to the site, and llms-full.txt, the text of our guides, FAQ, glossary, and Library in one plain-text file.

What is not allowed, by any automated means or by hand:

The Data Files are the exception to the first point. They hold the directory's records, our study cards, and our regulatory records as CSV and JSON files, and section 24 licenses them under CC BY 4.0, which lets you copy and republish them in full, adapt them, and use them commercially, with credit. If you want the directory's data in bulk, download the files rather than copying the pages: the files are complete, dated, and described field by field, and downloading them puts far less load on the Sites. For anything else beyond these terms, ask us (section 12).

Security research

If you find a security problem on the Sites, tell us through the contact form, give us a reasonable time to fix it, and do not access, change, or keep data that is not yours. Testing the Sites' security without our written permission is not allowed.

What happens if you break these rules

Depending on what happened, we may decline or remove content, block access from a network address or crawler, suspend or close an account, report conduct to the authorities, or take legal action. We aim to respond in proportion to the harm, and we usually start with a warning or a removal. Section 18 explains what happens when an account is closed.

7. The directory and listings

What a Listing is

A Listing reports what a clinic says on its own website about offering EBO2 or EBOO: its name, address, phone number, website, the services it lists, the practitioners it names, a price if it publishes one, and the dates we checked. We find clinics through web searches and from requests that clinics send us, and we record the page on the clinic's own website that is the source. Other directories may help us find a clinic's name, but we never use them as a source.

What a Listing is not

A Listing is not an endorsement, referral, recommendation, or ranking. We do not check a clinic's licenses, inspections, safety record, complaint history, or results, and a Listing says nothing about them. When a Listing names practitioners, it repeats the names and credentials the clinic publishes; we have not confirmed that those people hold a license. Any appointment, payment, or treatment is between you and the clinic, and we are not a party to it.

"Verified," "Claimed," and the dates we show

"Verified" means that on the date shown we confirmed, on the clinic's own website, that it offers EBO2 or EBOO, and the Listing links to that page. "Last checked" is the most recent date we reviewed the Listing. A Listing marked "Not yet verified" has not been confirmed against the clinic's website. "Claimed" means the clinic has confirmed to us that it manages the Listing. Verification covers one fact on one date: that the clinic's own site offered the service. It does not cover licensing, safety, quality, price, or whether the clinic still offers the service today.

Information can be out of date or wrong

Clinics change their services, staff, prices, and addresses, and their websites can be wrong. We cannot promise that any Listing is complete, current, or correct. Before you book, confirm the details directly with the clinic, and check the license of the person who would treat you with your state's licensing board.

How clinics are ordered, and no paid placement

Clinics appear in several lists on the Sites, and each list follows one fixed rule:

Putting clinics that publish a price first in the side-by-side table keeps the prices together so that they are easier to compare. It is not a judgment about any clinic, and a clinic's place in that table changes only when what we read on its own website changes. No order on the Sites takes payment, or any relationship with a clinic, into account. Listings are free: no clinic pays to be listed, to be placed higher, or to receive a badge.

Prices

When a Listing shows a price, it is the clinic's own published price, as stated on its website on the date shown. A price comes either from the clinic's EBO2 page, read on the date shown, or from the clinic's website when we checked the Listing; the clinic finder marks the second kind "From," and the published-price rule that our editorial policy explains keeps it out of every count, share, median, and range of published prices. A price may not include packages, consultations, add-ons, or taxes, and the clinic may have changed it. A price on the Sites, in a Tool, or in a Data File is not an offer from us or from the clinic, and we do not set, negotiate, or guarantee prices. Ask the clinic for the price in writing before you book.

Asking for a correction or removal

Anyone can report an error in a Listing through the contact form, choosing "Report an error or request a correction." We check the report against the clinic's own website or with the clinic, fix what we can confirm, update the Last checked date, and reply. If we cannot confirm a change, we say so and leave the Listing as it is until we can. When a clinic closes, stops offering EBO2, or asks us to remove its Listing, we remove it, and its page stops working.

A clinic's right to respond

A clinic can claim its Listing, correct it, add a short description (shown as "Provided by the clinic"), or ask us to remove it, using the For clinics page. A clinic can also tell us that a guide describes its public statements inaccurately, for example if we quote a page it has since changed. We review every such message, correct what is wrong, and if we disagree, we explain why.

Maps and location data

Clinic pages show a map made of tiles from OpenStreetMap, a third-party service, which your browser loads when you open the page, so OpenStreetMap receives your IP address. Map data is © OpenStreetMap contributors and available under the Open Database License, as described on OpenStreetMap's copyright page. Map pins were placed by looking up each address with an address-lookup service, mainly OpenStreetMap's, so a pin can be off; confirm the entrance with the clinic. The Directions and Apple Maps links open other companies' services, whose terms apply.

8. Clinic listings and owners

Requesting a new listing

A clinic can ask for a free Listing with the form on the For clinics page. EBO2 or EBOO must be listed as a service on the clinic's own website, and that page becomes the verification source. Treatment must be delivered by or under the supervision of a clinician licensed in the clinic's state. We check the clinic's website, reply within two business days, and publish approved changes at the next site update, normally within one business day.

Claiming a listing, and how we check that you represent the clinic

To claim a Listing, sign in at app.ebo2.com with an account whose email address is on the clinic's own website domain, confirm that address from the email we send, and choose "Claim this listing" on the clinic's page. The claim takes effect as soon as the confirmed address matches the domain of the website the Listing links to; email services that anyone can join, such as Gmail, never match. If you have no address on the clinic's domain, use the form on the For clinics page and we will check the connection another way, for example by asking for a reply from an address on that domain. A claimed Listing shows a "Claimed" badge. We may withdraw a claim at any time, for example if we learn that the person no longer acts for the clinic.

Updating a claimed listing

Once a Listing is claimed, you can set its phone number, public email address, booking link, and opening hours; they appear on the Listing within a few minutes. You can also propose its services and a short description; a person on our team checks those before they appear. On the clinic's page, everything you set is marked as coming from the clinic. None of it changes what we report from the clinic's own website, and the services you list do not change the counts in our guides, reports, or downloads, which keep using what we recorded from that website. A claim does not change where a Listing appears.

What you promise when you act for a clinic

If you submit information for a clinic, including when you claim a Listing, you confirm that you are authorized to act for the clinic, that what you submit is true, accurate, and current, and that the clinic meets the requirements on the For clinics page. You agree to tell us when the information changes. Claiming or changing a Listing for a clinic you do not represent is impersonation under section 6.

Rules for listing text

Listing text may describe services, prices, and practical details. It may not claim that any treatment cures, treats, or prevents disease, include testimonials, reviews, ratings, or before-and-after claims, say or imply that ozone therapy is FDA-approved, or misrepresent anyone's credentials. A description can run to 600 characters. We may shorten or edit a description to fit these rules, or decline it.

Changes sent through the form

A change you send through the form to a clinic's address, phone number, email address, practitioners, or description is applied when we can see the same information on the clinic's own website. If it is not there yet, we ask the clinic to publish it first, because the website is the source that every reader can check. Details a clinic sets itself after claiming its Listing follow the previous paragraphs instead.

Removal and loss of claimed status

We remove a Listing when the clinic asks, when it closes, or when it no longer offers EBO2. We may also remove or decline a Listing whose text breaks these rules, that misrepresents credentials, or that would break the law. If a person's authority to act for a clinic ends, we remove their connection to the Listing, and the Listing may lose its "Claimed" badge until the clinic confirms a new representative.

Listings are free, and what would change if fees ever applied

Listings are free today, and no listing feature costs anything. If we ever offered a paid feature for clinics, we would first update these terms and our editorial policy, show the price and separate terms before any clinic agreed to pay, and label any paid feature where it appears on the Sites. No clinic would be charged without agreeing in advance, and no payment would buy a "Verified" badge or change what our guides say about a clinic.

9. The guides and research library

What is ours and what belongs to the authors

Our guides, our notes on each study, and the way we select and organize the Library are our Content. The studies themselves belong to their authors and publishers. We link to each paper on PubMed or at its publisher rather than hosting a copy, and we quote from papers only briefly, with attribution.

Links out

Guides and Library pages link to journals, PubMed, and government sites such as the FDA and eCFR. Those sites have their own terms, some papers sit behind a paywall, and a link can break when a publisher moves a page. Tell us if you find a broken link.

The limits of a summary

A summary leaves things out. Our notes on each study are written from its published record, usually the abstract on PubMed, and say what the authors reported and what limits the result. They can miss details of the methods, the people studied, the side effects, or the authors' funding. One study rarely settles a medical question. Read the original, and talk it over with a clinician, before you rely on it.

How corrections work

Report an error through the contact form. We check it against the cited source, correct substantive errors within five business days, update the page's "Updated" date, and note material changes at the end of the guide. Our editorial policy describes the process.

AI-assisted drafting

Drafts of the Content are prepared with AI writing tools. A human editor has not yet checked every claim against its cited source; each guide says where its own review stands. A guide carries a "Medically reviewed by" line only after the named clinician has approved that text; no guide has one yet.

How much to rely on the Content

Use the guides and the Library to understand the evidence and to prepare questions for your own clinician, not as the basis for a treatment decision. Section 15 explains what we do and do not promise about accuracy.

10. Availability and changes to the Sites

We may change or end features

We may add, change, suspend, or end any part of the Sites at any time, including features that these terms describe as coming, which may change before they launch or never launch. The Sites are free, and we do not promise to keep any feature.

No promise of availability

The Sites run on services from other companies, including Vercel for hosting and Supabase for the account database, and any of them can have an outage. The public pages of ebo2.com are prebuilt and usually stay up, but the contact form and app.ebo2.com need those services to be working. We do not promise that the Sites will always be available, fast, or free of interruptions.

Maintenance and updates

We publish updates to the Sites when they are ready, and pages can change without notice. Directory changes appear at the next site update. We may take app.ebo2.com offline for maintenance, and if we ever decide to close it, we will try to tell account holders by email before we delete their accounts. We are not a storage service, so keep your own copy of anything important that you send us.

The Sites are free to use, and no feature is offered for a fee. We do not collect payment details anywhere on the Sites.

If we ever offer a paid feature, it will have separate terms that we show you before you buy. Those terms will state the price, what you get, how billing, renewal, and cancellation work, and any refund policy, and you will have to agree to them actively: we will not charge you without your consent. The separate terms will apply to the paid feature along with these terms, and if the two conflict, the separate terms will control for that feature. A paid feature would never buy a "Verified" badge or coverage in our guides, and a new fee would be a material change under section 20.

12. Intellectual property

What we own

The Sites and the Content, including the text of the guides, our study notes, the selection and arrangement of the directory and the Library, charts, illustrations, and page design, are owned by or licensed to EBO2.com unless otherwise noted, and are protected by copyright and other laws to the extent the law protects them.

What you may do with the Content

You may read, print, and save pages for your own personal, non-commercial use, share links to any page, and give a printout to your clinician. You may quote brief excerpts, such as a few sentences or a single fact with its source, if you name EBO2.com, link to the page, and do not change the meaning or suggest that we endorse you, your product, or a clinic. Journalists, researchers, and clinicians are welcome to cite us this way.

What needs our permission

Do not republish full guides, our study notes, or substantial parts of the directory's pages, sell the Content, or present it as your own without our written permission. The Data Files are the exception: section 24 licenses them under CC BY 4.0, so you may copy, adapt, republish, and sell them, with credit, without asking us. That license covers the files only; a page that shows the same facts as a file stays under this section.

Names and marks

"EBO2.com" and our logo identify us; do not use them in a way that suggests we are affiliated with you or endorse you. "EBO2" and "EBOO" are used on the Sites descriptively, to refer to the procedure, and we do not claim them as our trademarks. Clinic names and other trademarks belong to their owners.

Third-party material

The studies we link to, clinic websites, OpenStreetMap map data, and the open-source fonts we use belong to their owners and come with their own licenses. Government material we quote, such as federal regulations, is public. The ZIP code tables that the clinic finder downloads, under the address /data/zip/, are not Data Files and do not come from our research: they hold the centers of ZIP code areas from US Census Bureau data, as packaged by the open-source us-zips project, rounded for the finder.

How to ask for more

To ask permission to republish, translate, or use the Content in another way, write to us through the contact form, choosing "Press or partnership," and tell us what you would like to use and where.

Sending a notice

We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512. If you believe that material on the Sites infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, send us a written notice by postal mail to EBO2.com, 1968 S. Coast Hwy, #1921, Laguna Beach, CA 92651, United States, or through the contact form. Your notice must include:

  1. a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed or, if one notice covers several works on the Sites, a representative list of them;
  3. identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that you want removed or disabled, with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, such as the page address;
  4. information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you, such as your address, telephone number, and email address;
  5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  6. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

What we do with a notice

When we receive a notice that meets these requirements, we will promptly remove or disable access to the material and take reasonable steps to tell the person who posted it. If a notice leaves out a required element, we will tell you what is missing.

Counter-notices

If material you posted was removed or disabled because of a notice, and you believe that happened because of a mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice in the same way. It must include:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before that;
  3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
  4. your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which EBO2.com may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or that person's agent.

Restoring material

When we receive a counter-notice that meets these requirements, we will promptly send a copy to the person who sent the original notice and tell them that we will restore the material, or stop disabling access to it, in 10 business days. We will then do so no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after we received the counter-notice, unless the person who sent the original notice first tells us that they have filed an action seeking a court order to stop you from engaging in the claimed infringement. We may keep material down if it breaks these terms for another reason.

Misrepresentations and repeat infringers

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages. We close the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe others' copyrights.

Other rights

For a complaint about a trademark, your privacy, or a false statement about you or your clinic, write to us through the contact form and tell us which page and which words are the problem. We review every such complaint.

The Sites link to websites and services run by others: clinic websites, journal publishers and PubMed, government agencies such as the FDA, the eCFR, and state medical boards, and Google Maps and Apple Maps for directions. The map on clinic pages loads its tiles from OpenStreetMap. Parts of the Sites also run on other companies' services, such as Vercel for hosting, Supabase for accounts, Resend for email delivery, and Google Workspace for our inbox; our privacy policy explains what each handles for us.

We do not control third-party sites or services and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement. Your use of a third-party site or service is governed by its own terms and privacy policy. A clinic's website may ask for your health information or set its own cookies; anything you give a clinic is between you and the clinic.

15. Disclaimers

"As is"

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Sites and everything on them, including guides, study notes, Listings, Reports, Tools, Data Files, and content from users and clinics, are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. This includes any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

Accuracy

We work to keep the Content accurate and sourced: guides show when they were last updated, Listings show when they were last checked, and Reports, Tools, and Data Files say when their data was read. Even so, research changes, regulators revise their positions, and clinics change what they offer, so we do not warrant that any content is complete, current, or correct, or that a Tool's result is right for your situation.

No warranty of results

Nothing on the Sites is a promise about the safety or results of any treatment or clinic.

Security

We protect the Sites with the measures our privacy policy describes, but we do not warrant that the Sites will be available, uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors or harmful components, or that information you send us cannot be intercepted.

Where the law limits these disclaimers

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranties to be disclaimed, so some of these disclaimers may not apply to you. If you are a California resident, these disclaimers apply only as far as California law allows, and they do not take away any right you have under California law that a contract cannot waive.

16. Limitation of liability

The cap

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of EBO2.com to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Sites or these terms, under any legal theory, is limited to the greater of US$100 or the total amount you paid us for use of the Sites in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim. Because no feature is currently offered for a fee, that limit is currently US$100. The limit applies to all claims together, not to each claim separately.

What the cap does not cover

This limit does not apply to liability for our fraud, willful injury, gross negligence, or violation of law (California Civil Code § 1668). It also does not limit any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law. In those cases, the law decides what we owe.

Why the cap exists

We offer the Sites free of charge, to anyone, with no advertising or paid placement to fund them. The cap reflects that bargain: it lets us publish free information and a free directory without taking on unlimited risk for decisions that readers and clinics make on their own. We would not offer the Sites on these terms without it.

Where the law does not allow limits

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limits on liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Where that is so, our liability is limited to the fullest extent that law allows.

17. Indemnity

What you cover

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify EBO2.com and hold it harmless against claims made by third parties, and the resulting losses and reasonable costs of defense, to the extent a claim arises from your content, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or of anyone else's rights. For example, if you post a false statement of fact about a clinic and the clinic sues us over it, this section covers that claim.

What you do not cover

You do not cover a claim to the extent it results from our own negligence or misconduct, or from Content that we wrote. If you use the Sites as an individual for personal purposes, this section applies only as far as the law where you live allows.

How it works

If we receive a claim that this section covers, we will tell you promptly and give you the information we have. We may defend the claim ourselves, and you will cooperate reasonably. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault for us or requires anything from us without our written agreement.

18. Suspension and termination

Ending by you

You may stop using the Sites at any time. To close your account, ask us through the contact form, choosing "Privacy or data request." Section 4 explains what closing an account deletes and what stays.

Ending by us

We may suspend or close your account, remove your content, or block your access to the Sites if we reasonably believe that you have broken these terms or the law, if we need to do so to protect other people or the Sites, if the law requires it, or if we stop offering the Sites or a feature. We choose a response in proportion to what happened, such as removing a single comment before suspending an account.

Notice and your reply

We will tell you, at your account's email address, what we did and why, unless the law, an investigation, or a security risk prevents it. If you think we made a mistake, reply through the contact form and we will review the decision.

What happens next

When your account is closed, you can no longer sign in, and we delete its data as described in section 4 and our privacy policy, except for what the law requires us to keep. When your use of the Sites ends for any reason, the parts of these terms that by their nature should continue will continue to apply, including those on your content, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, disputes, and general terms.

19. Disputes

Contact us first

Most problems, such as a wrong Listing or a declined comment, can be fixed with one message through the contact form. Please try that first.

Formal notice and 30 days to resolve it

If you have a dispute with us, or we have one with you, the party raising it will first send the other a written notice that describes the dispute and the resolution requested. You can send yours through the contact form or by mail to EBO2.com, 1968 S. Coast Hwy, #1921, Laguna Beach, CA 92651, United States. We will send ours to the email address on your account or to other contact details you have given us. We will both then try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for 30 days after the notice is received. Time limits for bringing a claim are paused during that 30-day period.

Governing law

The laws of the State of California and applicable federal law of the United States govern these terms and any dispute between you and us about the Sites or these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Where a lawsuit goes

If the dispute is not resolved within those 30 days, either of us may file a lawsuit. Any lawsuit must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, California, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Small-claims court

As an exception, either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies.

Rights that cannot be waived

Nothing in these terms takes away a right that the law says a contract cannot waive. If you use the Sites as a consumer outside the United States, for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you keep the protections of the mandatory consumer laws where you live, including any right they give you to bring a claim in your local courts, and the choice of California law does not remove them.

20. Changes to these terms

How we change them

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and change the date at the top. A material change takes effect no sooner than 30 days after we post it, and we will notify account holders about it by email when we post it. Changes apply only from their effective date and do not apply to a dispute that arose before then.

What counts as material

A change is material if it reduces your rights, adds to what you must do or may not do, introduces a fee, or changes the sections on disputes, governing law, limitation of liability, indemnity, or the license you give us for your content. Fixing a typo, making wording clearer without changing its meaning, updating an example, or describing a feature more accurately is not material.

If you keep using the Sites

If you keep using the Sites after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms. If you do not agree to them, stop using the Sites and, if you have an account, ask us to close it. Your account records which version you accepted, and we will send you a copy of any earlier version on request.

21. General terms

Entire agreement

These terms, including the medical disclaimer, the listing requirements on the For clinics page that apply to clinics that submit or claim a listing, and any separate terms shown to you for a paid feature, are the entire agreement between you and EBO2.com about the Sites. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal information. The CC BY 4.0 license that covers the Data Files is a separate public license with its own text, and section 24 explains how it fits with these terms.

Severability

If a court finds any part of these terms unenforceable, that part will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the rest of these terms will remain in effect.

No waiver

If we do not enforce a part of these terms, that does not waive our right to enforce it later.

Assignment

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these terms without our written consent. We may transfer ours to a successor that takes over the Sites, and these terms will continue to apply.

Events outside our control

We are not responsible for a delay or failure caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as an outage at our hosting, database, or email provider, a failure of the internet, a natural disaster, or an act of government.

Notices and electronic communications

We give notices by email to the address on your account or by posting them on the Sites. You give notices through the contact form or by mail to our address. You agree that notices, agreements, and other communications we provide electronically meet any requirement that they be in writing.

How to read these terms

Headings and the short version are for convenience and do not change the meaning of a section. "Including" means "including but not limited to." If a feature is described as available "when available," these terms apply to it from the day it launches.

No third-party beneficiaries

These terms are between you and us. Nobody else, including a clinic listed in the directory, can enforce them.

Export and sanctions

The Sites are run from the United States. You may not create an account or send us content if you are on a US government list of prohibited or restricted parties, or if US law prohibits you from receiving services from a US company, and you may not use the Sites in a way that violates US export or sanctions laws.

Language and relationship

These terms are written in English. If we provide a translation, the English version controls where the law allows. These terms do not create a partnership, employment, or agency relationship between you and us, and no clinic in the directory is our agent or partner.

22. Notice to California residents

Under California Civil Code § 1789.3, California users are entitled to the following notice. The Sites are provided by EBO2.com, 1968 S. Coast Hwy, #1921, Laguna Beach, CA 92651, United States. There is no charge for using the Sites. To resolve a complaint about the Sites, contact us through the contact form or by mail at that address. You may also contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

23. Additional terms: the tools

This section adds to the rest of these terms for the four Tools listed on our tools page. The Tools are free, they need no account or email address, and you can use them as often as you like. Everything else in these terms, including sections 2, 15, and 16, applies to them too.

What each tool does, and what it does not do

Information, not advice, and not a quote

A result from a Tool is general information under section 2. It is not medical, financial, or legal advice, not a diagnosis, and not a quote or an offer from us or from any clinic. The prices a Tool uses are the prices clinics published on their own websites on the dates shown, and they may have changed. Before you book or pay, ask the clinic in writing for the price, what it includes, and who will treat you, and take your questions to your own clinician.

What you enter stays in your browser

The Tools work in your browser, on data built into each page. The price check, the session cost planner, and the questions for your doctor send nothing you enter to us or to anyone else. To look up a ZIP code, the clinic finder downloads one public table from ebo2.com, named by the first digit of the ZIP code, so our host's request log can show that digit, but never the ZIP code. If you choose "Use my location," your browser asks your permission first, and the position it gives the page stays in the page. The Tools set no cookies and save nothing you enter in your browser's storage. Our privacy policy and cookie policy explain this in detail.

Your results

The plan or list a Tool makes for you is yours to print, copy, keep, and share, for example with your doctor or your family. It reflects the numbers and choices you entered and the data as of the date on the Tool's page, so it is not a statement by us about you or about any clinic. A list from the questions tool repeats the situations you checked, so think about who will see it before you share it.

Accuracy, limits, and changes

Each Tool's page says how its result is worked out, which data it uses, how many records that is, when they were read, and what the Tool cannot tell you. Automated tests check each Tool's arithmetic and wording, but a Tool can still be wrong, and its data can be incomplete or out of date. We may change, pause, or retire a Tool at any time, including the point below which a Tool declines to compute a figure because too few clinics publish one. If you find an error, tell us through the contact form.

24. Additional terms: downloadable data and its license

This section adds to the rest of these terms for the Data Files on our data page. The files carry their own public license. Where this section and the license differ about what you may do with a Data File, the license controls, and nothing in these terms takes away a permission it gives you.

What the Data Files hold

The data page describes every field and keeps a change log of changes to the files' columns. The ZIP code tables that the clinic finder downloads are not Data Files (section 12).

What the Data Files leave out

The clinic files do not say how a clinic words the FDA status of EBO2 or its equipment, whether its pages state health benefits, or whether they show testimonials. Our Reports publish the first two only as counts across all clinics, and we do not publish the third in any form. The clinic files also leave out clinicians' names, phone numbers, street addresses, descriptions, the clinics' own quoted words, and our research notes, and where a clinic's wording for a value names a condition or makes a health, safety, or FDA claim, the file reads "Described on the clinic's page" instead. The regulatory file is different: it names the parties that the public documents themselves name.

The license

The Data Files are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0). In short, you may copy and share them, in whole or in part, adapt them, combine them with other data, and use them for any purpose, including commercially, as long as you give credit as described below. You do not need to ask us or tell us. The license's own text is what applies; this summary does not change it.

How to give credit

The license asks you to credit EBO2.com, link to the data, name the license and link to it, and say whether you changed the data. A line like this one, in the same form as the citations on our data page, does all of that:

EBO2.com. [Title of the data]. Data as read on [the date in the data page's citation]. https://ebo2.com/data/ (CC BY 4.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). [If you changed the data, say what you changed.]

The data page gives the exact citation for each file, with its date. Any reasonable form that suits your medium works, such as a footnote, a caption under a chart, or a credits page that your work links to. If you show the data in a chart or an app, put the credit where your readers will see it.

What the license does not cover

These points describe the license and the law around it; they add no condition to the license.

No warranty

The Data Files record what clinics, papers, and regulators stated, as we read them on the dates given. They can contain errors, they go out of date, and a copy you download does not update itself. We provide them "as is," without warranties of any kind, as the license itself says and as section 15 explains, and section 16 applies to them as to the rest of the Sites. They are not medical advice, they do not rate or recommend any clinic, and a price in them is a clinic's published price on a date, not a quote.

Changes to the files and to the license

We rebuild the files each time we update the Sites. When a file gains or loses a column, or a field changes meaning, we record it in the change log on the data page; routine refreshes of the data are not listed there, because each file states when its data was read. We may change the license for future versions of the files, or stop publishing a file. If we change the license, we will say so on the data page, and the change will not take back the license for a copy you received before it: the CC BY 4.0 license cannot be revoked for a copy published under it, as long as you keep to its conditions.

Corrections, and records that name you

If a value is wrong, tell us through the contact form, choosing "Report an error or request a correction," with the file, the row's id, and what the source says. If a record names you and you want it corrected, updated, or removed, our privacy policy explains how to ask and what we do. A correction or removal changes the files from the next update of the Sites; we cannot change copies that others have already downloaded.
