Acceptance of these terms

By using Humans Explained, you agree to these Terms of Use. Stop using the site if you do not agree.

Educational purpose

The site provides general educational explanations about everyday human behaviour, communication, trust, habits, fairness, cooperation, routines, expectations, and group life. Content is not individualized and cannot account for every person, culture, workplace, family, school, or situation.

No professional relationship or advice

Use of the site does not create a medical, psychological, psychiatric, counselling, legal, educational, employment, consulting, fiduciary, or client relationship. The material is not a diagnosis, assessment, treatment plan, or substitute for advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

Accuracy and changes

Reasonable care is taken to present clear material, but completeness, accuracy, currency, and suitability are not guaranteed. Pages may be corrected, expanded, reorganized, or removed without notice.

Permitted use

You may read, link to, and quote brief portions of pages with reasonable attribution where allowed by law. You may not republish substantial portions, copy the site into another publication, remove attribution, scrape the site in a way that burdens its operation, bypass security controls, introduce malicious code, or falsely claim endorsement or authorship.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the site design, original text, graphics, branding, and arrangement are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Third-party names and marks remain the property of their respective owners.

Advertising and external links

The site may display third-party advertising and links. An advertisement or link does not automatically mean the advertised product, service, claim, or external website is endorsed. Visitors are responsible for evaluating external information and transactions.

Availability and security

Continuous access is not guaranteed. The site may be interrupted by maintenance, hosting issues, software changes, security events, network problems, or circumstances beyond reasonable control.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the publisher is not liable for losses arising from reliance on general site content, inability to access the site, third-party advertisements or links, or decisions made without obtaining appropriate professional advice. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Privacy

Use of the site is also governed by the Privacy Policy.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable in Ontario, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without limiting any mandatory consumer rights that apply in a visitor’s jurisdiction.
