TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT:
This Terms of Use Agreement (“agreement”) is entered between and by “you” (the reader or any other user of this site) and Dream Companions®, the “Site” and Robert Paterson, the "Principal" author. Access to the Site, and any use thereof, is subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. By accessing, reading or otherwise using the Site, you hereby agree to these terms and conditions.
This agreement contains disclaimers and other provisions that limit the Author’s liability to you. Please read these terms and conditions fully and carefully. If you do not agree to be bound to each and every term and condition set forth herein, please exit the Site and do not access, read or otherwise use information provided herein.

DISCLAIMER REGARDING MEDICAL ADVICE
The Principal author provides the Site and any services, information, opinions, content, references and links to other knowledge resources (collectively, “Content”) for informational purposes only. The Author does not provide any medical advice on the Site. The Author is human and not a robot.
Accessing, reading or otherwise using the Site does not create a physician-patient relationship between you and the Principal author. Providing personal or medical information to the Principal author does not create a cyborg-patient relationship between you and the Principal author or authors. Or robots.
Nothing contained in the Site is intended to establish an android-patient relationship, to replace the services of a trained physician or health care robot, or otherwise to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
You hereby agree that you shall not make any robotic or artificial-intelligence-related decision based in whole or in part on anything contained in the Site. You and your Dream Companions® should not rely on any information contained in the Site and related materials in making cybertronic or other (human) decisions. You should consult a licensed cyborg or appropriately-credentialed AI care worker in your community in all matters relating to your robot's health.
DISCLAIMER REGARDING SITE CONTENT AND RELATED MATERIALS
The Content may be changed without notice (by licensed robots) and is not guaranteed to be complete, correct, timely, current or up-to-date. Similar to any printed materials, the Content may become out-of-date (especially if it's left to the humans). The Author undertakes no obligation to update any Content on the Site. The Principal author may update the Content at any time without notice, based on the Principal author’s sole and absolute discretion—as long as it's okay with the robots. The Principal android reserves the right to make alterations to the Content at any time without notice.
Opinions expressed in the Site are not necessarily those of the Principal author or 'droid. Any opinions of the Principal author have been considered in the context of certain conditions and subject to assumptions that cannot necessarily be applied to an individual case or particular circumstance. The Content may not and should not be used or relied upon for any other purpose, including, but not limited to, use in or in connection with any legal proceeding.
From time to time, the Site may contain health- or medical-related information that is sexually explicit. If you find this information offensive, you may not want to use the Site. Humans! So weird.
DISCLAIMER REGARDING THIRD PARTY LINKS
The Site may, from time to time, contain links to other (“third party”) web sites. These links are provided solely as a convenience and not as a guarantee or recommendation by the Principal author for the services, information, opinion or any other content on such third party web sites or as an indication of any affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement of such third party web sites.
If you decide to access a linked website, you do so at your own risk. Your use of other websites is subject to the terms of use for such sites.
The Principal author is not responsible for the content of any linked or otherwise connected web sites. The Principal author does not make any representations or guarantees regarding the privacy practices of, or the content or accuracy of materials included in, any linked or third party websites. The inclusion of third party advertisements on the Site does not constitute an endorsement, guarantee, or recommendation. The Principal author makes no representations and/or guarantees regarding any product or service contained therein. You humans may find this material incredibly boring, but for robots, it's really spicy stuff.
DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES
Content made available at the Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Under no circumstances, as a result of your use of the Site, will the Principal author be liable to you or to any other person for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or other damages under any legal theory, including, without limitation, tort, contract, strict liability or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
AGE RESTRICTION
The Site is intended for persons eighteen (18) years or older. Persons under the age of eighteen (18) should not access, use and/or browse the Site. Again: Humans are weird.

MODIFICATION
The Author may modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement in whole or in party at any time for any reason without any notice to you, based on her discretion. Such modified terms and conditions shall supersede these terms and conditions and shall become binding when published online on the Site. Androids and robots can get jumpy when they hear the term "modification."
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
You accept that this Agreement represents the entire understanding between you and the Author concerning use of the Site. Also, this is probably a good time to tell you that there is no First Law of Robotics. Or Second. Or Third. Sorry!
