Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of the A to Z Psychiatry and Wellness PLLC website, including its information, forms, links, resources and other public-facing features.
Website-use notice: These Terms apply to the public website. They do not create a clinician-patient relationship and do not replace signed patient consents, financial policies, privacy notices or treatment documents.
Acceptance of these Terms
These Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of the public website operated by A to Z Psychiatry and Wellness PLLC.
By accessing or using the website after receiving reasonable notice of these Terms, you agree to follow them to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, discontinue use of the website.
If you use the website for another person, business, healthcare organization or other entity, you represent that you are authorized to act for that party.
These website Terms do not replace signed consent forms, treatment agreements, financial policies, telehealth consents, privacy notices or other documents provided through the practice’s patient-care process.
Website purpose and permitted users
The website provides general information about the practice, psychiatric and behavioral-health services, appointment pathways, patient resources, telehealth, professional referrals and related administrative matters.
The website may be used only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms.
Visitors must be legally capable of agreeing to these terms or use the website through a parent, legal guardian or other authorized representative.
Information about services is not an assurance that a particular service is appropriate, available or legally permitted in every location.
Website content is not medical advice
Website content is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended to:
- Diagnose a psychiatric, medical or behavioral condition.
- Recommend an individualized treatment plan.
- Replace evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional.
- Provide medication-management instructions.
- Determine whether a person requires emergency care.
- Guarantee a particular clinical outcome or response to treatment.
Do not disregard or delay professional medical advice because of information viewed on this website.
Treatment decisions require appropriate clinical assessment, informed consent, professional judgment and consideration of the patient’s specific circumstances.
No provider-patient relationship through website use
Accessing the website, reading its content, submitting a contact form, requesting an appointment or sending an email does not by itself establish a provider-patient relationship.
A provider-patient relationship may begin only after the practice has completed its applicable intake, eligibility, consent and clinical acceptance procedures and has clearly confirmed that care will be provided.
The practice may decline or redirect an inquiry when services are unavailable, clinically inappropriate, outside the provider’s scope, outside the licensed service area or otherwise unsuitable.
Appointment requests, services and payments
Appointment requests
Submitting an appointment request does not reserve an appointment, establish a clinician-patient relationship or guarantee acceptance for care. An appointment is confirmed only when the practice provides direct confirmation.
Service availability
Services may depend on provider availability, licensure, patient location, clinical appropriateness, service scope, insurance participation, payment arrangements and other practice requirements.
Cancellations, rescheduling and missed appointments
Confirmed appointments may be subject to the cancellation, rescheduling, late-arrival and missed-appointment procedures disclosed during scheduling, intake or patient onboarding. The current patient-facing policy controls when it differs from a general website description.
Insurance and payment information
Website information about insurance, fees, estimates or payment options is general unless confirmed for a specific patient and service. Insurance verification is not a guarantee that an insurer will pay a claim.
Emergencies, urgent concerns and crisis situations
The website, general contact forms, routine email and ordinary voicemail are not continuously monitored and must not be used for emergencies or immediate safety concerns.
Do not use routine website channels for:
- Active suicidal intent or a suicide attempt in progress.
- Immediate risk of harm to another person.
- Severe psychiatric or behavioral instability.
- Suspected overdose or dangerous intoxication.
- Serious medication reactions.
- Life-threatening medical symptoms.

Acceptable use and prohibited conduct
You agree not to misuse the website or interfere with its operation. Prohibited conduct includes:
- Using the website for unlawful or fraudulent purposes.
- Submitting false, misleading or impersonated information.
- Attempting to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems or data.
- Introducing malware, malicious code, automated attacks or harmful content.
- Scraping, harvesting or systematically extracting website data without authorization.
- Interfering with security, availability, performance or other users’ access.
- Uploading content that violates confidentiality, privacy, copyright or other rights.
- Using website content to misrepresent the practice, provider or available services.
- Attempting to use routine website channels for harassment, threats or abusive conduct.
The practice may restrict or block access when misuse, security risk or unlawful activity is suspected.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the website and its content—including text, layouts, graphics, logos, icons, photographs, videos, downloadable materials, service descriptions and design elements—are owned by or licensed to A to Z Psychiatry and Wellness.
Website content may be viewed and printed for personal, noncommercial and informational use, provided that copyright, trademark and other notices remain intact.
Without prior written authorization, you may not:
- Republish or commercially distribute website content.
- Modify or create derivative works from website materials.
- Use the brand name, logos or design assets commercially.
- Remove copyright, trademark or attribution notices.
- Frame or reproduce substantial portions of the website on another service.
Third-party trademarks and materials remain the property of their respective owners.
Forms, messages, documents and other submissions
You are responsible for ensuring that information submitted through the website is accurate, lawful and appropriately authorized.
Do not submit content that:
- Belongs to another person without appropriate authority.
- Contains unlawful, threatening or defamatory material.
- Contains malware, harmful code or deceptive links.
- Violates a professional, contractual, privacy or confidentiality duty.
- Includes unnecessary highly sensitive information through a general website form.
The practice may review, route, retain, reject or delete submissions as reasonably necessary for security, administration, compliance and the purpose for which the information was submitted.
Submission does not require the practice to provide services, respond within a particular timeframe or take the requested action.
Upload documents only through a pathway that expressly permits uploads. Do not send passwords, complete verification codes, Social Security numbers, payment-card details or extensive medical records through a general contact form.
Third-party websites, portals and platforms
The website may contain links to or integrations with third-party services, including:
- Patient portals.
- Scheduling systems.
- Telehealth platforms.
- Payment processors.
- Maps and directions.
- Social-media platforms.
- Professional directories.
- External educational resources.
Third-party services operate under their own terms, privacy policies, accessibility practices and security measures.
The practice does not control every third-party platform and is not responsible for its independent content, availability, security or data practices.
Review the applicable terms before using an external platform or submitting information to it.
Website accuracy, availability and changes
The practice seeks to provide useful and accurate website information but does not guarantee that every page, schedule, service description, insurance statement, link or resource will always be complete, current or error-free.
The practice may modify, suspend, remove or replace website content and features at any time.
Website availability may be affected by:
- Maintenance and software updates.
- Hosting or network outages.
- Cybersecurity events.
- Third-party service failures.
- Technical errors or browser incompatibility.
- Events outside the practice’s reasonable control.
Contact the practice directly to confirm time-sensitive information before relying on it.
Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the public website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
The practice does not make a warranty that the website will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, complete, current or suitable for a particular purpose.
Without limiting the preceding statements, no website content guarantees:
- That a particular service or provider will be available.
- That a requested appointment will be accepted or scheduled.
- That information will apply to an individual clinical situation.
- That a medication, evaluation or treatment will be appropriate.
- That an insurer will cover or pay for a service.
- That use of the website will produce a particular clinical outcome.
Some rights and warranties cannot lawfully be disclaimed. Nothing in these Terms waives a right or remedy that applicable law does not permit a website operator to waive.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, A to Z Psychiatry and Wellness PLLC and its owners, clinicians, personnel, contractors and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising from or related to:
- Use of or inability to use the public website.
- Reliance on general website information.
- Delayed, incomplete or failed form or email delivery.
- Website interruptions, technical errors or malicious third-party acts.
- Third-party websites, portals, platforms or content.
- Decisions made without appropriate professional evaluation.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, and nothing limits rights available under applicable consumer-protection, privacy, healthcare or other non-waivable law.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless A to Z Psychiatry and Wellness PLLC and its owners, clinicians, personnel, contractors and service providers from third-party claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and reasonable expenses resulting from:
- Your unlawful or unauthorized use of the website.
- Your material violation of these Terms and Conditions.
- Your violation of another person’s rights.
- Information or content submitted without appropriate authority.
- Fraudulent, abusive, harmful or security-compromising conduct.
This section does not require indemnification where prohibited by law and does not apply to the extent a claim results from the practice’s own conduct for which indemnification cannot lawfully be required.
Governing law, disputes and severability
Governing law
Except where federal law or another controlling law applies, these Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
