These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of rhowelaafriel.com.

Additional terms in the Booking Policy apply when you purchase or schedule a Clarity Session.

1. Informational purpose

The website shares general information about Rhowela A. Friel, her professional background, projects, publishing work, experiences, and services.

Website content is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

Content may not be complete, current, or appropriate for your individual circumstances.

2. No professional relationship

Visiting the website, sending an email, reading its content, or booking a Clarity Session does not create:

• a pharmacist-patient relationship;

• an investment-adviser relationship;
• a tax-adviser relationship;
• a fiduciary relationship;
• a real-estate agency relationship;
• an employment relationship; or
• any other licensed professional-client relationship.

A Clarity Session is a supportive conversation based on Rhowela's experience and perspective. It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who has reviewed your individual circumstances.

3. No medical or pharmacy advice

Nothing on this website or in a Clarity Session is individualized medical, medication, pharmacy, diagnostic, or treatment advice.

Do not use the website or a session to diagnose, treat, prevent, or manage a medical condition or to make medication decisions.

Consult an appropriately licensed healthcare professional for medical or pharmacy advice.

If you believe you are experiencing an emergency, contact local emergency services.

4. No legal, financial, tax, investment, or real-estate advice

The website and Clarity Sessions do not provide legal, tax, accounting, financial-planning, investment, lending, insurance, brokerage, or licensed real-estate advice.

Examples, experiences, opinions, or general observations are not recommendations that you buy, sell, borrow, invest, enter a contract, or take a specific legal or financial action.

Consult an appropriately qualified professional before acting.
