User Content. We offer you the opportunity to comment on and engage in discussions regarding articles, companies and various topics.

Importantly, you are responsible for your own decisions and for properly analyzing and verifying any information you intend to rely upon.

As a result, please approach messages with appropriate skepticism. User Content may be misleading, deceptive, or in error.
iii. Grant of rights and representations by you. If you upload, post or submit any User Content on a Service, you represent to us that you have all the necessary legal rights to upload, post or submit such User Content and that it will not violate any law or the rights of any person.

Rules of conduct. Users must not post material that is offensive, contains personal attacks, is misleading or demonstrably false or is solely (or overwhelmingly) self-promotional.
9. Linked Destinations and Advertising
BellyButtonHealing is not responsible for the content or practices of any website or destination other than the BellyButtonHealing.com Site, even if it links to the BellyButtonHealing.com Site and even if the website or destination is operated by a company affiliated or otherwise connected with BellyButtonHealing. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that BellyButtonHealing is not responsible or liable to you for any content or other materials hosted and served from any website or destination other than the BellyButtonHealing.com Site.
b. Advertisements. BellyButtonHealing takes no responsibility for advertisements or any third party material, nor does it take any responsibility for the products or services provided by advertisers. Any dealings you have with advertisers found while using the Services are between you and the advertiser, and you agree that BellyButtonHealing is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against an advertiser.
10. Disclaimers
b. Medical Disclaimer. If the BellyButtonHealing.com site provides health-related or medical information, no such information is intended to treat or cure any disease or to offer any specific diagnosis to any individual as we do not give medical advice, nor do we provide medical or diagnostic services. We assume no responsibility for injuries suffered while practicing these techniques. We strongly recommend that you get a professional medical advice before you apply any techniques presented on our site.
11. Disputes and Jurisdiction
b. We Both Agree To Arbitrate. You and BellyButtonHealing agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Services through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, BellyButtonHealing will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
c. No Class Actions. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed.
If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
d. Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Either you or BellyButtonHealing may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Sedona, Arizona or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
You agree that these Terms, as well as any and all claims arising from these Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, United States of America, without regard to any conflict or choice of law principles. The sole jurisdiction and venue for any litigation arising out of these Terms will be an appropriate federal or state court located in Arizona. These Terms will not be governed by the United Nations convention on contracts for the international sale of goods.
12. General Provisions.
b. Severability. If any provision of these Terms or its application is invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms will not be impaired or affected and will remain in full force and effect.
c. Entire Agreement. These Terms contains the final and entire agreement between us regarding your use of the services and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous oral or written agreements regarding your use of the Services.
d. Waiver. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, the failure by a party to require performance of any provision shall not affect that party’s right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.
e. Change to Services. We may discontinue or change the Services, or their availability to you, at any time for any reason and without notice to you.
f. No Assignment. These Terms are personal to you, which means that you may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms to anyone. No third party is a beneficiary of these Terms.
g. Survival of Termination. The following provisions will survive expiration or termination of these Terms: Sections 7 through 12 of these Terms and other provisions that by their nature are intended to survive termination of these Terms.
