Terms & Conditions

Last updated: April 20, 2025

These Terms govern your use of nufeetfootcare.com, the educational website published under the name NJ Foot & Ankle Care by Diabetic Foot & Ankle Centers of NJ LLC. They are arranged in six articles: what you are agreeing to, what kind of material this is, how the website may be used, how messaging permissions work, how risk is allocated between us, and the administrative rules that hold the agreement together.

Article I — The Agreement

1. Acceptance

Reading, browsing, searching, or submitting a form on this website means you accept these Terms as written, together with our Privacy Policy, our SMS Terms, and our Disclaimer, each of which is incorporated here by reference. If any part of them is unacceptable to you, the remedy is to stop using the website. No signature is required and none is implied; use is the acceptance.

2. Eligibility

The website is offered to individuals in the United States who are at least 18 years old. The subscription form enforces this directly: it asks for your date of birth and declines any submission from someone under 18. The contact form carries no such check, so submitting it is your own representation that you meet the age requirement. Either way, the details you enter must describe you. We do not knowingly accept submissions from minors, and we remove them when we learn of them.

Article II — The Nature of What You Are Reading

3. Educational material, and nothing more

Every page, article, checklist, illustration, interactive tool, and message published under the NJ Foot & Ankle Care name exists to explain foot and ankle health in general terms. The following statements govern how that material must be understood, and they apply to the entire website without exception:

• All website content is educational and informational only.
• It is not medical advice, a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a cure.
• Use of the website does not form a doctor-patient relationship.
• Readers should consult a licensed physician or qualified healthcare professional before changing diet, exercise, supplements, or healthcare plans.
• These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
• This content is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Two feet with identical-looking symptoms can have entirely different causes, and only a clinician who can examine you is in a position to tell which is which. Nothing here is written with your history, your imaging, or your circumstances in view, because we do not have them.

4. What the interactive tools are and are not

The Symptom Explorer is an illustrated reference to foot and ankle anatomy and to conditions commonly associated with each area. It does not evaluate your symptoms, does not produce a score, a probability, or a level of urgency, and does not tell you what you have. The Plan Your Visit checklist helps you organize documents and questions before an appointment; the questions it suggests about coverage are prompts to put to your own plan administrator, and neither the tool nor this website determines, confirms, or implies what any plan will pay for.

Article III — Using the Website

5. Permitted use and ownership

The text, layout, graphics, illustrations, logo, and source code of this website belong to Diabetic Foot & Ankle Centers of NJ LLC or to those who licensed them to us, and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may read the pages, print them, and save copies for your own personal and non-commercial reference. Republishing, redistributing, selling, framing, systematically copying, or creating derivative works from any part of the website requires our written permission first.

6. Conduct we prohibit

You agree not to break any applicable law while using the website, not to infringe anyone's rights, not to probe or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the website or its underlying systems, not to introduce malicious code, not to scrape or harvest the website by automated means, not to submit another person's details as though they were your own, not to interfere with anyone else's use of the site, and not to strip out or obscure any notice of ownership.

7. What you send us

You are responsible for the accuracy of anything you type into our forms, and you keep ownership of it. By submitting it you give us permission to use it for the purpose you submitted it for — replying to you, or sending what you asked to receive. Please do not use the contact form to describe symptoms, medical history, treatment, or any other clinical detail; it is an ordinary website form rather than a clinical channel, and it is not a route for urgent matters. Anything you do send is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Links that leave this website

Where we link to an outside resource, we do so because it may be useful, not because we vouch for it. We do not control those websites, do not review their content or medical accuracy on any schedule, and are not responsible for what they publish or how they handle your data. Following such a link ends the protection of these Terms and begins whatever terms apply there.

Article IV — Messaging Permissions

9. Telephone Consumer Protection Act

Our text message program operates under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Because of it, we do not text anyone who has not first given prior express written consent by affirmatively ticking the SMS permission box on our subscribe page and providing the mobile number to be used. That box is never pre-checked, and nothing on this website is withheld from you for leaving it alone.

What you are agreeing to when you do tick it: recurring automated marketing text messages about our foot health education program, sent to the number you supplied, including messages sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or other automated technology. Message frequency varies with what we publish, and message and data rates may apply according to your own plan and carrier. Consent to receive these texts is not a condition of purchase and is not a condition of subscribing to our emails. The SMS box is separate from the email box, is never pre-checked, and leaving it alone costs you nothing on this website. The text program is offered as an addition to that email subscription rather than as a service you can take on its own, and each permission is recorded separately so that either can be withdrawn without the other.

Revocation is always available and always free. Reply STOP to any message from the program to end it, or HELP to any message to reach assistance; you may also revoke by writing to [email protected] or by any other reasonable means, and we will honor it. Emails are separate: each one carries an unsubscribe link, and using it stops the emails without affecting your texts. Ending one program never silently ends or preserves the other.

10. What carriers can and cannot guarantee

Delivery depends on mobile networks we do not operate. Carriers, including T-Mobile, are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Program availability may vary by carrier, and not every handset or plan supports every message type.

11. How your messaging data is handled

Mobile information, opt-in data, and consent will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes, and will not be sold. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, excluding aggregators and providers of the text message service. The full treatment is set out in the mobile information section of our Privacy Policy and in our SMS Terms.

Article V — Allocation of Risk

12. No warranties

The website and everything on it are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the website will be available without interruption, that it will be free of errors or of harmful components, that defects will be corrected, or that the educational material is complete or current at the moment you happen to read it.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither Diabetic Foot & Ankle Centers of NJ LLC nor its members, officers, employees, or contractors are liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or connected with your use of or inability to use the website, whatever the theory of liability and even if we were told such damages were possible. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the website is limited to one hundred United States dollars. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you; where that is so, our liability is limited to the least extent the law permits.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Diabetic Foot & Ankle Centers of NJ LLC and its members, officers, employees, and contractors from any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your use of the website, your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your infringement of anyone's rights. We may take over the defense of any matter subject to this section, and you agree to cooperate if we do.

Article VI — Administration

15. Governing law and how disagreements are resolved

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Before filing anything, please write to [email protected] describing the problem and what you would like done about it; we will do the same in reverse, and both of us agree to spend thirty days trying to resolve it informally, because most disputes end there. If that period passes without resolution, the state and federal courts sitting in Essex County, New Jersey have exclusive jurisdiction, and both of us consent to venue there. Either of us may still bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and nothing in this section prevents either of us from seeking injunctive relief to protect intellectual property.

16. Severability, waiver, and the whole agreement

If a court finds any provision unenforceable, that provision is narrowed to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable, or struck if it cannot be, and everything else remains in force. Our not enforcing a provision on one occasion is not a waiver of it on another. These Terms, together with the documents named in section 1, are the entire agreement between us about the website, and they replace any earlier understanding on the subject. You may not assign your rights under them; we may assign ours to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

17. Revisions

We may revise these Terms. The current version always lives at this address with its revision date at the top, and a revision takes effect when it is posted. Continuing to use the website after that is how you accept the change; if you do not accept it, stop using the website.
