Complimentary Access Privileges and Referral Group Terms

We, in our sole discretion, may extend complimentary access privileges to verified mental health providers and treatment centers that hold an active license or authorization to practice in the State of Oregon. These privileges may include, but are not limited to:

Lifetime Access for Founding Members
A non-transferable, complimentary membership may be granted to a select group of founding members. This membership will remain valid for the duration of the website’s existence and includes access to post job openings, participate in the Referral Group, access the Provider Private Community, and create and maintain one Directory Listing. Continued access is contingent upon ongoing compliance with these Terms and Conditions.

Promotional Access via Coupons
From time to time, we may issue promotional coupons that provide limited-time access or discounts. These may include coupons for free job postings for a specified period, or temporary access to the Provider Private Community, the Referral Group, and the creation and maintenance of a Directory Listing. All promotional offers are subject to availability, expiration, and modification at our sole discretion.

All complimentary privileges and promotional access may be suspended, altered, or revoked by us at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to violations of these Terms and Conditions.

Referral Group Purpose and Usage Guidelines

Access to the Referral Group, currently provided at no cost to founding members and other verified users as determined by us, is strictly for the purpose of allowing licensed providers or treatment centers to post referral inquiries on behalf of individuals, couples, or families seeking mental health services. Other verified users may respond by voluntarily sharing their professional or organizational information, including current availability, areas of clinical focus, and whether they are accepting new clients.

The Referral Group may not be used for general promotion, advertising, or solicitation unrelated to a specific referral inquiry. All communications within the Referral Group are the sole responsibility of the participating users. It is the responsibility of each user to independently assess the appropriateness and credentials of any prospective referral or professional engagement.

Any unauthorized use of the Referral Group, including unsolicited advertising or violation of these Terms and Conditions, may result in immediate suspension or termination of access at our sole discretion and without prior notice.

Disclaimer and Reservation of Rights

All complimentary access, promotional coupons, and use of the Referral Group are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to availability, uninterrupted access, or fitness for a particular purpose.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to impose fees for any feature or service at any time. We may modify, suspend, or revoke any access privilege with or without notice and for any reason, including but not limited to noncompliance with these Terms and Conditions or applicable law.
