Terms of Service

Last updated: August 4, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Direct Self Care website and services (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Direct Self Care ("we," "us," or "our").

2. Description of Services

Direct Self Care provides a self-guided well-being assessment — the Wellness Wheel — along with related educational resources and clarity tools designed for physicians, dentists, and other clinicians. Our Services are intended for informational and educational purposes only.

Important Disclaimer — not medical or mental health care: Direct Self Care is not a healthcare provider and does not provide medical, psychological, psychiatric, or mental health advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The Wellness Wheel is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical screening, diagnostic, or assessment instrument, and its results are not a clinical finding of any kind. Nothing in the Services creates a provider–patient relationship. Always seek the advice of a qualified health professional with any question regarding a medical or mental health condition, and never disregard or delay seeking professional advice because of something you read or received through the Services.

If you are in crisis: Direct Self Care is not an emergency service and is not monitored. If you are in immediate danger or considering harming yourself, call 911, or call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the United States.

Not financial, tax, or legal advice: Direct Self Care does not provide personalized financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, and does not sell investments, insurance, or financial products. Where you choose to be introduced to a third-party provider or financial advisor, that party is solely responsible for the advice and services they provide to you, and Direct Self Care may receive compensation in connection with such introductions. You should consult qualified professionals before making any financial decisions.
