Acceptance of these terms
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of https://honestpicture.com and its content and tools (the "site"), operated by Honest Picture ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Who may use the site
The site is intended for adults. By using it, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) and are able to enter into these Terms.
What Honest Picture is
Honest Picture is an educational and informational website. It presents publicly available research and population data, and offers an interactive assessment that places your answers in that context. It is a publication and a tool — not a professional service, and not a substitute for professional judgment.
No professional advice
Nothing on this site is medical, psychological, financial, legal, or other professional advice, and nothing here creates a professional relationship. The assessment does not diagnose, treat, or evaluate any condition, and its output is context, not a recommendation. Always seek the advice of a qualified professional for decisions that matter, and never disregard or delay professional advice because of something you read here. See our full disclaimer.
Acceptable use
- You may read, share, and link to our pages freely for personal, non-commercial use.
- You may not scrape or harvest the site at scale, use automated systems to access it in a way that burdens our infrastructure, or republish substantial portions of our content as your own.
- You may not use the content to train machine-learning models or build a competing dataset or product without our written permission.
- You may not misrepresent the source or the underlying research, remove attributions, or present our material in a misleading way.
- You may not use the site for any unlawful purpose, or in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it or interfere with anyone else's use.
Intellectual property
The writing, design, structure, and original presentation on this site are owned by Honest Picture and protected by intellectual-property laws. The underlying research and statistics belong to their respective authors and institutions, whom we cite. Brief quotation with clear attribution and a link back to the source page is welcome; anything more requires our permission.
Your submissions
If you send us feedback, corrections, or suggestions, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use them to improve the site, without obligation to you. Please do not send us confidential information; email correspondence is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
Third-party links and advertising
The site links to third-party sources and services, and displays advertising, including ads served through Google AdSense. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, products, or practices of third-party sites or advertisers, and a link or ad is not an endorsement. Your dealings with any third party are solely between you and that third party.
Accuracy and "as is"
We work hard to be accurate and to cite real sources, but research evolves, figures are rounded, and errors are possible. The site and all content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We make no guarantee that any information is complete, current, or applicable to your specific situation, or that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Honest Picture and its contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any decision you make, or any loss or harm you experience, in connection with your use of this site or reliance on its content. Your use of the site is at your own discretion and risk.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Honest Picture and its contributors from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your misuse of the site or your violation of these Terms.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at our principal place of operation, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts there, except where applicable consumer-protection law provides otherwise.
Changes and severability
We may update these Terms over time; the "last updated" date above reflects the current version, and continued use of the site after changes means you accept them. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect.
