Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: May 25, 2025

Welcome to the website of Bright Cove Therapy Co. (“Bright Cove,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using https://[your-domain].com (the “Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not accept these Terms, do not use the Site.

1. Informational Purpose Only — No Medical Advice

All content on the Site—blog posts, articles, videos, downloadable materials, and any messaging—exists for general informational and educational purposes. It is not medical, diagnostic, or therapeutic advice and should not replace consultation with a licensed speech-language pathologist or other qualified health provider.

2. Use of the Site

You may use the Site only for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:

Violate any applicable federal, state, or local laws or regulations.
Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or other harmful code.
Collect information about others without consent.
Interfere with or disrupt the Site’s security or operation.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access, without notice, for any conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful.

3. Online Forms, Appointment Requests & Telepractice

Submitting an online form or requesting an appointment does not create a patient-provider relationship until we confirm acceptance in writing or verbally and requisite paperwork is completed. Telepractice services are delivered only to clients located in states where Bright Cove therapists hold valid licensure.

4. Fees, Payments, and Insurance

Fee schedules, accepted insurance plans, and payment terms are provided separately (e.g., intake paperwork, service agreements, or invoices). You are responsible for all charges not covered by insurance. Late-payment or cancellation policies disclosed in your service agreement supersede any conflicting information on the Site.

5. Intellectual Property

All text, graphics, logos, audio, video, and software on the Site are the property of Bright Cove or its content suppliers and are protected by U.S. and international intellectual-property laws. You may view, download, or print pages for personal, non-commercial use only. Any other use—reproduction, distribution, modification, public display, or derivative works—requires our prior written consent.

6. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to external sites we do not control. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of those sites. Access them at your own risk.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bright Cove, its owners, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of—or inability to use—the Site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the Site is limited to US $100.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bright Cove and its personnel from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Site.

10. Privacy

Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information. By using the Site, you consent to our data-handling practices described there.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms or relating to the Site shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Horry County, South Carolina, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
