DISCLAIMER NOTICE

This Website Disclaimer Notice ("Disclaimer") governs your use of the website operated by Away From Work, LLC ("Company," "we," or "us") and any interaction with the Company, its representatives, personnel, contractors, or future staff members, as well as any services, content, or materials made available through it (collectively, the "Platform"). By accessing, browsing, or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the terms of this Disclaimer.

The purpose of this Disclaimer is to ensure that all users clearly understand the nature and limitations of the Company's services. The Company provides a confidential and psychologically safe environment (outside of your work environment; away from your employer) where working adults may explore ideas for their consideration in addressing workplace situations. The Company does not provide advice, legal, medical, financial, therapeutic, or otherwise. Instead, its role is limited to facilitating a safe space for reflection, exploration, and idea generation.

Because the issues discussed may involve sensitive workplace dynamics and personal decision-making, it is essential that users recognize and accept that all actions, decisions, and outcomes remain entirely their responsibility. This Disclaimer sets forth the boundaries of the Company's obligations and liabilities so that users may engage with the Platform with informed consent and appropriate caution.

No Professional Advice; No Professional Relationship Created

The Company's services are designed to provide a confidential and psychologically safe forum where working adults may reflect on workplace challenges and receive ideas for consideration only. The Company does not, under any circumstances, provide professional advice or services. Specifically:
a. Nothing shared on the Platform should be construed as legal advice. Users should consult a qualified attorney licensed in their jurisdiction for any legal matter.
b. The Company does not provide medical, mental health, or psychological advice. Any references to interpersonal or workplace conflict resolution are strictly for reflective purposes. Users should consult a licensed physician, psychologist, or other healthcare provider for diagnosis, treatment, or therapy.
c. The Company does not provide financial, accounting, tax, or investment advice. Users remain responsible for consulting qualified financial or business advisors before making financial or business decisions.
d. The Company does not serve as a substitute for human resources professionals, mediators, or labor/employment attorneys. Users should seek appropriate professional guidance for employment-related disputes or decisions.
