Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and ABAvisor LLC ("ABAvisor," "we," "us"). They govern your use of abavisor.com, the resource library, Premium membership, and any training or instructional materials we provide (together, the "Services").

By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

2. What ABAvisor is

ABAvisor is an educational publisher and professional training provider for the applied behavior analysis community. We offer:

• A library of written and video resources on supervision, caregiver coaching, ethics discussion, and ABA fundamentals
• A Premium membership providing access to templates, checklists, scripts, and self-assessment tools
• Instructor-led staff training programs delivered to organizations
• Custom development of instructional materials

Everything we publish and teach is general professional education. It is written for a professional audience and describes practices in the abstract.

3. What ABAvisor is not

This section is important. Please read it.

ABAvisor does not provide:

• Consultation or advice about a specific client, case, learner, patient, or situation. We do not review your cases, evaluate your programs, or tell you what to do in a particular circumstance.
• Behavior-analytic services, therapy, assessment, diagnosis, or treatment of any kind, to any person.
• Clinical supervision of record. Nothing we provide satisfies, replaces, or counts toward supervision required by the BACB, your employer, your licensing board, or any funder. Our materials are supplemental education only.
• Legal, regulatory, billing, or ethics-complaint advice. Our ethics resources are discussion prompts for professional reasoning, not determinations about what any code requires of you.
• Emergency or crisis services. If someone is in danger, contact your local emergency number or crisis line.
• An electronic health record, charting system, or storage for any client information.

4. No professional relationship

Using the Services, purchasing a membership, attending a training, or corresponding with us does not create a behavior-analytic, clinical, supervisory, therapeutic, consulting, or fiduciary relationship between you and ABAvisor.

You remain solely responsible for your own professional judgment and for the decisions you make in your practice. You are responsible for ensuring anything you learn here is appropriate for your setting and consistent with your own ethical, legal, licensure, employer, and funder obligations. Applying our general educational material to a specific person is your professional decision and your responsibility alone.

5. Eligibility and intended audience

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or purchase anything.

The Services are directed to users in the United States. We do not target, market to, or offer services to individuals in the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with your local laws.

6. Accounts

You are responsible for the accuracy of your registration information, for keeping your password confidential, and for all activity under your account. Accounts are personal and may not be shared. Tell us promptly at abavisor@gmail.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these Terms.

7. Premium membership and payment

Premium is a recurring monthly subscription. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never receive or store your full card number.

• Your subscription renews automatically each month until you cancel.
• You may cancel at any time through the Stripe customer portal linked from your dashboard.
• Cancellation stops future charges. Payments already made are non-refundable, including for partial months. Your access continues through the end of the period you have paid for.
• We may change pricing on notice. Changes apply to billing periods beginning after the notice.

8. Training engagements and custom materials

Organization training and custom material development are quoted individually and governed by a separate written agreement between you and ABAvisor. Where that agreement conflicts with these Terms, that agreement controls for the engagement it covers.

For any engagement:

• Deliverables are general instructional materials. They are not clinical documents, treatment plans, assessments, or client-specific records.
• We do not observe, evaluate, or advise on your actual clients or cases.
• Do not provide us with client records, identifying information, or protected health information. Any examples you share must be fully de-identified and non-clinical.

9. Acceptable use — no client information

You agree not to submit to ABAvisor, through any channel — the contact form, email, training sessions, or otherwise — any of the following:

• Protected health information ("PHI") as defined by HIPAA
• Names or identifying details of any client, patient, child, family, learner, or supervisee
• Session notes, treatment plans, assessments, incident reports, or clinical records

ABAvisor is not a HIPAA covered entity and not a business associate, and has no obligation to safeguard information under HIPAA. Our contact form requires you to confirm your message contains no client information before it can be sent.

If you send us such information anyway, you do so without our request and against these Terms. We may delete it, and you remain responsible for any consequences of the disclosure.

You also agree not to misuse the Services — no unlawful use, no attempts to gain unauthorized access, no scraping or bulk extraction, no interference with the Services, and no uploading of malicious code.

10. Intellectual property

All content, templates, checklists, scripts, videos, and training materials on or from the Services are owned by ABAvisor or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use materials you have properly accessed for your own professional practice or internal use within your organization.

You may not resell, sublicense, republish, redistribute, or share materials outside your organization; present them as your own; use them to build a competing product; or remove any attribution or notice. This license ends when your access or membership ends.

11. Third-party services

The Services rely on third parties including Supabase (hosting and database), Stripe (payments), and YouTube (video). Your use of those services is subject to their own terms. We may link to external sites we do not control and are not responsible for their content or practices.

12. Disclaimer of warranties

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and availability.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that our content is complete, current, or suitable for your particular setting, jurisdiction, population, or circumstances. Professional standards and regulatory requirements change; you are responsible for verifying that anything you rely on is current and appropriate.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ABAvisor and its owners, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business, arising out of or relating to the Services — regardless of the theory of liability and even if we have been advised of the possibility.

In particular, we are not liable for any decision you make in your professional practice, or for any outcome experienced by any client, patient, learner, or other person, based on anything you learned or obtained from the Services.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ABAvisor and its owners, employees, and contractors from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, or your application of our educational materials to any specific person or case.

15. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and ABAvisor agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Georgia, and waive any objection to that venue.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated through the Services or by email where practical. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Services and cancel any subscription.

17. Miscellaneous

If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect and the unenforceable provision is limited to the minimum extent necessary. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any separate written engagement agreement, are the entire agreement between us regarding the Services.
