These Terms & Conditions apply to your use of Compulsive-Hoarding.org, including articles, self-reflection assessments, reports and other features made available through the site.
By using the site, you agree to use it lawfully and in accordance with these terms.
Educational and self-reflection purposes
The content and assessments on this website are provided for general education and self-reflection.
They are not intended to provide medical, psychological, psychiatric, legal, financial or other professional advice.
You should not use an assessment result as a substitute for diagnosis, treatment or advice from an appropriately qualified professional.
Assessment results are interpretive self-reflection tools. They should not be treated as definitive statements about your personality, relationships, mental health or future.
No diagnosis or professional relationship
Using this website does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client or other professional relationship between you and Compulsive-Hoarding.org, Personal Insight Institute or any contributor to the site.
If you are concerned about your mental health, physical health, safety or wellbeing, seek appropriate professional support.
Assessment results
Assessment results are based on the responses you provide and on the scoring and interpretation methods used by the relevant assessment.
Results may vary depending on how questions are interpreted, your current circumstances and the honesty and accuracy of your responses.
No assessment can fully capture the complexity of a person, relationship or life situation.
