Legal Disclaimer & Non-Liability Notice

1. Technical Infrastructure Role & Absence of Fiduciary Medical Duty

ADZ FeRaL Management is not a hospital, does not provide medical diagnoses, does not administer prescription medication, and does not establish a doctor-patient or psychologist-client fiduciary relationship with any user accessing this domain.

2. Total Exclusion of Medical Malpractice & Clinical Liability

All psychological assessments, consultations, counseling sessions, therapy plans, diagnostic reports, and clinical notes available or referenced on this platform are conducted solely and independently by individual practitioners licensed by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) pursuant to the Philippine Psychology Act of 2009 (Republic Act No. 10029).

• Individual Specialist Accountability: Each licensed psychologist or psychometrician functions as an independent professional. ADZ FeRaL Management exercises no clinical control, direction, or medical oversight over the professional judgment of any specialist.
• No Vicarious or Derivative Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by Philippine law, ADZ FeRaL Management and platform owners shall have ZERO VICARIOUS, DERIVATIVE, OR JOINT LIABILITY for any specialist's diagnoses, opinions, treatment regimens, alleged negligence, delayed sessions, professional errors, or therapeutic outcomes.
• Direct Specialist Recourse: In the event of any grievance or professional dispute, the user's sole recourse lies directly with the treating specialist or through the regulatory jurisdiction of the Professional Regulatory Board of Psychology and PRC.

3. High-Volume File Uploads, Document Flooding & Data Disclaimer

Users, clinic personnel, and practitioners frequently upload high volumes of documents, test papers, OMR scan images, handwriting samples, and clinical attachments to the platform.

ADZ FeRaL Management makes no representation that the platform is an archival vault. The platform reserves the right to prune temporary scan artifacts, throttle uncompressed media, or archive historical records in accordance with institutional data retention schedules.

4. Algorithmic OMR Scoring & Automated Screening Disclaimer

Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) grading, bubble-grid coordinates, computerized subtest scoring, and automated FeRaL AI chatbot responses are strictly auxiliary mathematical and informational screening tools.

• Automated score calculations, percentiles, stanines, or diagnostic brackets generated by the computer do not constitute a definitive psychiatric or psychological diagnosis.
• All automated test results require human clinical interpretation, validation, and countersigning by a PRC-licensed psychologist before any clinical or legal reliance may be placed upon them.
• ADZ FeRaL Management is completely held harmless from any reliance placed upon unverified automated outputs or preliminary score printouts.

5. Third-Party Telecom, SMS Gateways & Network Non-Liability

Notification dispatches, SMS verification tokens (Semaphore), email appointment reminders, and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) codes depend on third-party mobile telecommunication carriers (Globe, Smart, DITO, PLDT) and cloud gateways beyond ADZ FeRaL Management's control.

ADZ FeRaL Management shall not be held liable for any missed consultations, session reschedules, SMS latency, delivery failures, carrier filtering, power grid interruptions, or ISP routing downtime.

6. Comprehensive Indemnification & "Hold Harmless" Covenant

You agree to fully defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ADZ FeRaL, its Management, clinic directors, developers, system administrators, and agents from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, demands, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or related to:
