Effective Date: August 25, 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of www.summitfamilyandsportschiropractic.com (the “Website”), our scheduling and intake tools, our text messaging service, and related services (together, the “Services”), provided by Summit Family & Sport Chiropractic (“we,” “us,” or “our”), an Indiana chiropractic practice with clinic locations in Allen County and Elkhart County, Indiana. These Terms apply to all of our locations.
By using our Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use them. We may update these Terms at any time; updates are posted here with a new effective date, and continued use means you accept them.
1. Medical Disclaimer
Our Website is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Content on the Website is general information only and does not constitute medical advice. Do not use it to diagnose or treat a condition without consulting a qualified health care provider, and never disregard or delay professional advice because of something you read here.
Using our Website does not create a doctor-patient relationship. That relationship begins only after an in-person examination and signed consent and intake documentation at our office.
Do not use our Services for a medical emergency. Call 911.
2. Appointment Requests
An appointment request submitted through our Website is a request only. Your appointment is not confirmed until the location you selected contacts you or sends you an express confirmation. Please do not rely on an unconfirmed online request for time-sensitive care.
3. Who May Use the Services
Our Services are not intended for anyone under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 online.
In Indiana the age of majority is 18. Minor patients are treated with the consent and participation of a parent or legal guardian, and any online form submitted for a minor must be completed by that parent or guardian.
4. Our Content
The Website and its content, trademarks, and logos belong to us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark law.
You may view and use our content for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or use it commercially, and you may not use our name or logos, without our written permission. If you violate these Terms, your permission to use the Services ends immediately.
5. Acceptable Use
You may not use our Services to post or send anything unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or infringing; to advertise or solicit; to transmit viruses or malware; to scrape or harvest data automatically; or to attempt unauthorized access to our systems. We may remove any submission that violates these Terms.
Suggestions, reviews, and similar feedback you send us become our property and may be used without compensation to you. This does not apply to your personal or health information, which is governed by our Privacy Policy and our Notice of Privacy Practices.
Please do not send health information through website forms, email, chat, or social media. These channels are not secure. Call the location where you receive care instead — numbers are listed in Section 14.
6. Text Messages
If you opt in, you may receive appointment-related messages — reminders, confirmations, scheduling updates, and billing notifications — and, if you separately agree in writing, promotional messages such as offers, educational content, and practice news.
Consent to each category is collected separately, and neither is a condition of receiving care.
Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.
Reply STOP to opt out, or HELP for assistance. To stop only promotional messages, or to opt out of texts from all of our locations at once, call any of our offices. If more than one location texts you, replying STOP stops messages from that number only. Messages are delivered by third-party carriers, delivery cannot be guaranteed, and carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Text message content is not medical advice.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
7. Outside Links and Payments
Links to other websites are provided for convenience only. We do not control or endorse them and are not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices, or for any fees or transactions occurring on them.
Online payments are processed by a third-party payment processor under its own terms and privacy policy.
8. Privacy and Health Information
Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, posted on this Website and incorporated into these Terms.
Protected health information is governed by HIPAA, Ind. Code § 16-39, and our Notice of Privacy Practices, available on this Website and at our office.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE CONTENT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SERVICES IS TO STOP USING THEM. WE MAY SUSPEND OR WITHDRAW THE SERVICES AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE.
Nothing in this section limits our liability for professional negligence in the delivery of chiropractic care, or any liability that cannot lawfully be limited under Indiana law.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR ANY LINKED WEBSITE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
This limit applies to the Website and Services only. It does not apply to any claim arising from the chiropractic or other professional health care services we provide.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
11. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Summit Family & Sport Chiropractic and our officers, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, liability, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of anyone else’s rights.
12. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by Indiana law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You consent to personal jurisdiction in Indiana and to venue in Allen County or Elkhart County, Indiana, at our election.
Any claim arising from your use of the Website or Services must be brought within one (1) year, unless a longer period is required by law.
This one-year limit does not apply to claims for professional negligence. Those claims are governed by the Indiana Medical Malpractice Act (Ind. Code § 34-18) to the extent it applies, including its filing procedures and limitations period. Nothing in these Terms shortens or waives any deadline or right under that Act or other Indiana law.
13. General
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the rest remains in effect. Not enforcing a term once does not waive it later.
These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement about your use of the Services. They do not govern the professional care we provide, which is covered by the consent forms and financial policies you sign at our office.
