Terms of Use

Not legal advice · Do not publish as-is

This Terms of Use is a structural scaffold, not a finished document.

Every section below lists what the section has to cover and nothing more. There is no operative legal language on this page, and none of it has been reviewed by anyone qualified to review it.

This is attorney or reputable-generator work. Yagel Therapy Services is a healthcare provider in Texas. The wording here carries real regulatory weight — HIPAA, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, and COPPA can all touch it — and it should be written or reviewed by a professional before a single line goes public.

Until then this page is noindex and unlinked from search, so nothing here can be mistaken for a commitment the practice has made.

Lower urgency than the privacy policy right now — the site has no accounts, no payments, and nothing transactional to govern. That changes the moment the client portal, document upload, or online scheduling ships.

  1. 01Agreement to these terms

    This section must cover

    • That using the site means accepting the terms, and names the legal entity — Yagel Therapy Services, PLLC.
    • The effective date.

  2. 02The site is not medical adviceNeeds specialist input

    This section must cover

    • That nothing on the site — including service pages, condition pages, and therapist profiles — is medical advice or a diagnosis.
    • That reading the site does not create a therapist–patient or provider–patient relationship.
    • That parents should consult their pediatrician about their own child.

  3. 03In an emergencyNeeds specialist input

    This section must cover

    • A plain instruction to call 911 or go to an emergency room, and never to use the website contact form for anything urgent.
    • This belongs near the top of the page, not buried in the middle.

  4. 04Who may use the site

    This section must cover

    • That it is intended for parents, caregivers, referring providers, and job applicants — adults, not children.
    • Any age requirement for submitting a form.

  5. 05Using the contact and careers forms

    This section must cover

    • That submissions should not include medical details about a child.
    • That the practice does not guarantee a response time through the form.
    • What happens to an uploaded résumé.

  6. 06Acceptable use

    This section must cover

    • No scraping, no automated submissions, no attempts to interfere with the site.
    • No submitting anyone else’s personal information without their consent.

  7. 07Intellectual property

    This section must cover

    • Who owns the site content, the photographs of staff and children, and the logo.
    • Whether any photo release exists for images of children used on the site — worth confirming separately.

  8. 08Links to other sites

    This section must cover

    • That the practice does not endorse or control sites it links to.

  9. 09Disclaimers and limitation of liabilityNeeds specialist input

    This section must cover

    • Standard "as is" language, scoped so it does not attempt to disclaim liability for clinical care.
    • This is the section most likely to be wrong if it is copied from a generic template — a therapy practice cannot disclaim the things a software company can.

  10. 10Governing law

    This section must cover

    • State of Texas, and the county for any dispute — El Paso County.

  11. 11Changes to these terms

    This section must cover

    • How changes are made and communicated, with a "last updated" date.

  12. 12Contact

    This section must cover

    • Who to write to about the terms specifically.

Sections that become necessary later

Not needed today. Each one arrives with a specific feature from the roadmap.

  • — Client or parent portal accounts — registration, acceptable use, termination.
  • — Secure document upload — who owns uploaded files and how long they are kept.
  • — Online scheduling — cancellation, no-show, and rescheduling terms.
  • — Referring physician portal — a separate agreement, not these terms.

Before this page goes live

  • — Replace every section above with drafted, reviewed language.
  • — Remove noindex from this page.
  • — Add an effective date.
  • — Link it from the footer of every page.
