1. About these terms DrAudreyKteily.com (the "site") is the author and speaking website of Dr. Audrey Kteily, PhD ("Dr. Audrey"). It is operated by NMK Publications LLC, the New York publisher of Authenticity Over Approval ("NMK", "we", "us"). These Terms of Use govern your use of the site, including the book waitlist, newsletter sign-ups, downloadable resources, giveaways, and contact and speaking enquiry forms. By using the site, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

These terms cover this site only. Therapy offered through Dr. Audrey's clinical practice is governed by the practice's own client agreements, policies and Notice of Privacy Practices, available at draudrey.net.

2. Education only, not therapy Everything on the site, including articles, book excerpts, downloadable resources, emails and videos, is general education and personal reflection. It is not therapy, counseling, diagnosis or treatment, and it is not medical, legal or financial advice. It does not replace care from a qualified professional who knows your circumstances. Please do not ignore professional advice or delay seeking it because of something you read here.

3. No clinician-client relationship Reading the site, joining the waitlist or newsletter, downloading a resource, entering a giveaway, attending a talk, or contacting Dr. Audrey through the site does not create a therapist-client, counselor-client or any other professional relationship. A clinical relationship begins only through her practice, after intake, signed consent and her agreement to provide services, and only where she is licensed to practice. Please do not send personal health details through the site. Messages sent here are not part of clinical care.

4. If you are in crisis The site, its forms and its inboxes are not monitored around the clock and cannot respond to emergencies. In the US, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911. Outside the US, call your local emergency number or find a helpline at findahelpline.com.

5. Licensure Dr. Audrey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor in Texas and a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey. Her licences govern clinical services in those states only, and each can be verified with that state's licensing board. Her books, talks, workshops and educational content are not clinical services.

6. The book and purchases Authenticity Over Approval and any related workbook are sold through third-party retailers and platforms. Their own terms, prices and policies apply to your purchase, delivery and returns. Release dates, formats and availability may change. Anything sold directly through the site shows its price, delivery and refund terms at checkout. People apply the ideas in the book and on the site in their own ways, and results vary from person to person.

7. Waitlist, newsletter and downloads When you join the waitlist or newsletter, we email you about the book, events and related resources. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. Free resources are for your personal, non-commercial use.

8. Giveaways Every giveaway is governed by its own Official Rules, published with it, which take priority over these terms for that giveaway. No purchase is necessary to enter or win.

9. Speaking, media and events A speaking, media or event enquiry is a request, not a booking. Engagements are confirmed only in a separate written agreement covering dates, fees, travel and recording rights. Talks and workshops are educational and do not create a clinical relationship with anyone attending.

10. Intellectual property The site's content, including its text, book excerpts, frameworks, images, graphics, audio, video and design, belongs to NMK, Dr. Audrey or their licensors and is protected by copyright and other laws worldwide. You may view the site, share links to it and print pages for personal, non-commercial use. Without written permission, you may not copy, republish, sell or adapt site content, create derivative works from it, collect it by scraping or other automated means, or use it to train, fine-tune or prompt artificial intelligence or machine learning systems. Short quotations with credit and a link, for review or commentary, are welcome.

11. What you send us If you send us a message, question or story, you confirm it is yours to share and does not include anyone else's private information. We never publish your words, name or image, including as a testimonial, without your written permission. Any testimonial we publish reflects a real person's experience, appears with their permission, and discloses any material connection, such as a gift or a personal or professional relationship.

12. Links and other platforms The site links to other websites and platforms, including book retailers, Substack, social media and draudrey.net. Each runs under its own terms and privacy policy, and we are not responsible for their content or practices. If a link earns us a commission, we say so next to it.

13. Acceptable use Please use the site respectfully: no false information, impersonation, harassment, spam, malware, attempts to gain unauthorized access, or interference with how the site works.

14. Accessibility We want the site to work for everyone and are working toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. If anything is hard to use, email admin@draudrey.net and we will get you the information another way.

15. Disclaimers The site is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, about the site or its content, including that it is accurate, complete, uninterrupted or free of errors or harmful components.

16. Limitation of liability To the fullest extent the law allows, NMK, Dr. Audrey and the people working with them are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from your use of the site or its content, and our total liability for any claim relating to the site is limited to US$100. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited, such as liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or removes rights you have under the consumer protection laws of the country where you live.

17. Your responsibility To the extent the law where you live allows, you agree to cover losses we reasonably incur because you breached these terms or misused the site.

18. Governing law and disputes These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute about the site will be heard in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York. If the law of the country where you live gives you, as a consumer, the right to bring proceedings in your local courts, you keep that right. Before starting formal proceedings, please email us so we can try to resolve the matter informally within 30 days.

19. Changes We may update these terms. The "last updated" date shows when they last changed, and continuing to use the site after an update means you accept it.
