Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the British Cupping Society website at britishcuppingsociety.org (the "Website"), operated by the British Cupping Society ("BCS", "we", "us", or "our").

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website.

The Website provides information about the British Cupping Society, cupping therapy, education and training programmes, health topics, news and events, and our certified practitioner register.

We aim to keep the information on the Website accurate and up to date, but we do not guarantee that all content is complete, current, or free from errors. Content may be updated, amended, or removed at any time without notice.

When using the Website, you agree not to:

• Use the Website in any way that breaches applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its servers, or any connected systems.
• Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful material.
• Scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Website without our prior written consent.
• Use the Website to transmit unsolicited or unauthorised advertising or promotional material.
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation with BCS or any registered practitioner.

The practitioner register lists health professionals who have completed the BCS registration process. Listing on the register indicates that a practitioner has met BCS requirements at the time of registration; it does not constitute an endorsement of individual clinical outcomes.

Practitioner contact details displayed on the register are provided for the purpose of helping members of the public locate registered practitioners. You must not use this information for unsolicited marketing or any purpose unrelated to seeking cupping therapy services.

If you believe information in the register is inaccurate or outdated, please contact us so we can review it.

All content on the Website - including text, graphics, logos, images, articles, training materials, and software - is owned by or licensed to the British Cupping Society and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial use. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from Website content without our prior written permission, except as permitted by law.

Information on the Website is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional medical consultation.

Cupping therapy should only be provided by appropriately qualified health professionals. Always seek the advice of your doctor or other qualified health provider with any questions regarding a medical condition.

BCS does not guarantee any particular health outcome from cupping therapy. Individual results may vary.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BCS excludes all conditions, warranties, representations, or other terms which may apply to the Website or any content on it, whether express or implied.

BCS will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website, including indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of data, or loss of goodwill, except where such exclusion is prohibited by law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

The Website may include links to third-party websites or resources for your convenience. BCS has no control over the content of those sites and accepts no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.

Your use of the Website is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use personal information. By using the Website, you consent to the processing of your data as described in that policy.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the Website, without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms or if suspension is necessary to protect the Website, our users, or our organisation.

We may revise these Terms at any time by updating this page. The "Last updated" date will reflect the latest version. Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the Website, subject to any mandatory consumer protection rights applicable in your country of residence.
