2. Medical Information Disclaimer


The contents of the Site, such as text, graphics, images, information obtained from the Lean Teen’s licensors, public message boards and blogs on the Site, and other material contained on the Site (“Content") are for general informational purposes only. The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. 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 the Site.


If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately. Reliance on any information provided by the Site and Lean Teen is solely at your own risk.


The Site may contain health- or medical-related materials that are sexually explicit. While these items are banned from our site, we cannot control all “content” posted by individual users.

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register for a user account. No one under the age of 13 is allowed to provide any personal information to us or on the Site. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at [[email protected]].  All communication will be held in strict confidence.


4. Use of Content


The Content is protected by copyright under both United States and foreign laws. Title to the Content remains with Lean Teen, its licensors, or contributors to the Site. You may not in any way make commercial or other unauthorized use, by publication, re-transmission, distribution, performance, caching, aggregation or otherwise, of material obtained through the Site, including without limitation, the Content, except as permitted by the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 and all amendments thereto, or other law or as expressly permitted in writing by this Agreement, Lean Teen, or the Site. Any use of the Content not expressly permitted by this Agreement is a breach of this Agreement and may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.


Content and features are subject to change or termination without prior notice in the editorial discretion of Lean Teen. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved to Lean Teen and its licensors. If you violate any of this Agreement, your permission to use the Content automatically terminates and you must immediately destroy any copies you have made of any portion of the Content.


Access to the Content may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you access the Site from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction.


5. Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability


THE SITE AND THE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS. LEAN TEEN, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS LICENSORS, AND ITS THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, CONDITION, GUARANTEE OR REPRESENTATION, WHETHER ORAL, IN WRITING OR IN ELECTRONIC FORM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENTNESS, OR TIMELINESS OF ANY CONTENT, SOFTWARE, LINKS, OR ANY COMMUNICATIONS PROVIDED ON THE SITE.


When using the Site, information will be transmitted over a medium that may be beyond the control and jurisdiction of Lean Teen and its suppliers. Accordingly, we do not represent or warrant that there will be no failures, interruptions, errors, omissions or loss of transmitted information or that no viruses will be transmitted through the Site. Furthermore, we assume no liability for or relating to the aforementioned failures and errors in connection with the Site.


YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE USING THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT AT YOUR OWN RISK. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ASSUME THE RISK OF ILLNESS OR DEATH THAT MAY BE RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE CONTENT ON THE SITE.


LEAN TEEN, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS LICENSORS, AND ITS THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTIES FOR ANY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, PERSONAL INJURY, WRONGFUL DEATH, LOST PROFITS, VIRUSES ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN OBTAINED FROM THE SITE, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOST DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ALLEGEDLY RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE, YOUR RELIANCE ON THE SITE OR ANY OF ITS CONTENT, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM OR THE NATURE OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION, WHETHER OR NOT LEAN TEEN, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS LICENSORS, AND ITS THIRD PARTIES ARE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.


YOU HEREBY AGREE TO RELEASE LEAN TEEN, ITS AFFILIATES, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS FROM CLAIMS, DEMANDS AND DAMAGES (ACTUAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL) OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS"), ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OF THE SITE.


Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state.


If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, in part: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”


YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AND THAT LEAN TEEN WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THE SITE AVAILABLE WERE IT NOT FOR SUCH DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS.
