Terms of Service

Last updated: August 15, 2026

These Terms govern your use of thesecondreadhealth.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

The short version

This Site publishes advertising content and earns commissions on purchases made through its links. Nothing here is medical advice. We do not sell the products we write about — the merchant does, under their own terms — so orders, shipping, refunds, and guarantee claims are handled by them, not by us.

1. This Site is advertising

Content published here is advertising content, labeled as such at the top of every page. It is written to inform and to persuade, and we are compensated when readers purchase products through our links.

We aim to describe products accurately and to be explicit about what is not known or not proven. That intent does not make this Site independent journalism, and you should read it as what it is: an advertisement written with care.

2. Not medical advice

The Site publishes general consumer information about hair, scalp care, and related wellness topics. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional.

Reading this Site does not create a doctor-patient, clinician-patient, or professional relationship of any kind.

Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing any treatment, medication, or health routine — including anything described on this Site. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read here.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately.

Statements about products on this Site have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Products described as cosmetic scalp-care products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual experiences vary.

3. Interactive tools

The checklist, the drawer calculator, and the six-question quiz are informational aids only. They do not diagnose any condition and produce no medical assessment. Their output reflects only the selections you made, and should not be used to decide whether you need — or do not need — medical care.

4. Products are sold by third parties

We are an independent publisher and affiliate. We do not manufacture, sell, store, ship, or handle returns for any product featured on this Site.

When you click through to purchase, you leave this Site and transact with the merchant. That purchase is governed entirely by the merchant's own terms of sale, privacy policy, refund policy, and guarantee. We are not a party to it.

This means we cannot process orders, look up order status, change or cancel an order, issue refunds, or approve guarantee claims. For anything related to an order, contact the merchant directly. For Crowned: +1 323-237-8203 · support@usecrowned.com, available 24/7.

5. Pricing, offers, and availability

Prices, discounts, kit configurations, shipping terms, and guarantee terms described on this Site are set by the merchant and may change at any time without notice to us. The terms shown on the merchant's checkout page at the time of your purchase are the ones that apply. If anything differs from what you read here, the merchant's page governs.

6. Accuracy and completeness

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information published here is accurate at the time of writing, and to state plainly where evidence is limited or absent. Even so, the Site is provided for general information, may contain errors or omissions, and may become out of date. We make no warranty that any content is complete, current, or error-free.

7. No guarantee of results

Nothing on this Site is a promise, guarantee, or prediction of any particular outcome. Individual results vary, and hair and scalp conditions have many possible causes that no single product addresses. Any experiences described are illustrative and are not a guarantee that anyone else will have the same experience.

8. Illustrative characters

Where a person is described in our articles as an example, that person may be a composite drawn from experiences commonly shared in public communities, presented to illustrate a pattern. Such descriptions are identified as illustrative where they appear and are not customer testimonials. No individual results are claimed or implied by them.

9. Intellectual property

The text, layout, design, and original graphics on this Site are owned by the Site operator and protected by copyright. You may read, share links to, and quote briefly from this Site with attribution. You may not copy, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of it without written permission.

Product names, brand names, and logos referenced here are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only. Their appearance does not imply that we are endorsed by, affiliated with, or acting on behalf of those owners beyond a standard affiliate relationship.

10. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Site to break the law, to attempt to gain unauthorized access to it or any related system, to interfere with its normal operation, or to extract its content by automated means for republication.

11. Third-party links

The Site links to websites we do not operate or control. We are not responsible for their content, products, practices, or policies. Following a link is at your own risk.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site operator and its owners, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits or data, arising out of your use of the Site or your reliance on its content.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Site is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Site operator from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your misuse of the Site or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [SUBSTITUIR: estado/país de jurisdição — ver nota do desenvolvedor], without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. You agree that any dispute arising from these Terms or from use of the Site will be brought exclusively in the courts located there.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. The revised version takes effect when posted, and the "Last updated" date will change. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept the revised Terms.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will stay in full force.
