1. Nature of Products
All products sold in this shop are digital template documents intended for use by licensed mental health clinicians in the United States. They are educational and professional resources designed to serve as a starting point for practice documentation. They are not finished legal documents, clinical instruments, or compliance guarantees. They are not a substitute for professional legal advice, clinical supervision, or state-specific regulatory guidance.
2. No Legal or Clinical Advice
Nothing in these templates or accompanying materials constitutes legal advice, clinical advice, or a professional opinion about any specific situation. Purchase of a template does not create an attorney-client relationship, a supervisory relationship, or any other professional relationship between the purchaser and the creator of these materials. For guidance specific to your practice, jurisdiction, or clinical population, consult a licensed attorney, your licensing board, and/or your malpractice insurance carrier.
3. Purchaser Responsibility

Accepting full legal, clinical, and ethical responsibility for these materials at the moment of download or access, including all decisions made about their adaptation, distribution, and use
Reviewing and customizing all templates before use
Ensuring all documents comply with the laws and regulations of your state and jurisdiction
Obtaining appropriate legal and professional review before distributing any document to clients
Using all templates within your scope of licensure and clinical competence
Ensuring that supervised providers, interns, or residents using these templates do so under appropriate clinical oversight

However, because these templates may be purchased and used by clinicians located in any state or jurisdiction, purchasers are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of these materials complies with the laws and regulations of their own state, jurisdiction, and licensing board. The governing law of these terms does not imply that these templates have been verified for compliance in any jurisdiction other than as noted in the templates themselves.
