Terms of Use and Medical Disclaimer

This website is operated by Genevieve Blackburn-M. MD inc., referred to below as the “Clinic.” These terms govern use of the site and describe the scope of the information published here.

1. Purpose of the site

The site introduces Dr. Geneviève Blackburn, the clinics where she practises and the treatments and services offered.

Content is provided for general information and education. It is not intended to address anyone’s particular medical circumstances.

2. General information only

The site’s text, images, videos and other content do not constitute:

• a medical diagnosis;

• personalized medical advice;

• a prescription;

• an individual treatment recommendation;

• a guarantee that a treatment is suitable for you;

• a physician–patient relationship.

Viewing the site or submitting a form does not replace a medical assessment or, by itself, create a therapeutic relationship.

3. Medical consultation required

Consult a qualified professional before making any treatment decision.

A consultation can include:

• assessing your health and needs;

• checking whether treatment is appropriate;

• identifying possible contraindications;

• explaining benefits, limitations, risks and alternatives;

• obtaining your free and informed consent.

Information given during the consultation takes precedence over general information on the site.

4. Results vary

Treatment results differ from person to person according to factors such as health, anatomy, skin type, medical history, individual response and adherence to pre- and post-treatment instructions.

Photographs, testimonials, treatment descriptions and results shown on the site are illustrative. They are not promises or guarantees of results.

All published medical content should be factual and should not create unrealistic expectations of treatment effectiveness.

5. Accuracy of content

The Clinic takes reasonable steps to provide reliable, current information.

Medical knowledge, technology, indications, fees and treatment methods can change. The Clinic therefore cannot guarantee that every item is always complete or suited to every person.

Do not make, postpone or stop a medical decision based only on this site.

To the extent permitted by law, the Clinic is not liable for a decision based solely on general website information without assessment by a qualified professional.

Nothing in these terms limits Dr. Geneviève Blackburn’s professional obligations or any liability that cannot legally be excluded.

6. Forms and appointment requests

The site form can be used to request information or an appointment.

Submitting it does not confirm an appointment. An appointment is confirmed only after the Clinic team contacts you.

Do not use the form to send a complete medical record, detailed medical information or an urgent request.

In a medical emergency or if your health deteriorates rapidly, do not use the form. Contact emergency services or a healthcare professional immediately.

7. Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the site’s texts, photographs, videos, illustrations, logos, graphics, documents and other content belong to Genevieve Blackburn-M. MD inc., Dr. Geneviève Blackburn or their respective rights holders.

They are protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws. Copyright gives the holder exclusive rights including the right to produce, reproduce and publish a protected work.

You may view site content for personal, non-commercial use. Reproduction, adaptation, modification, publication, distribution or commercial use of any part requires prior written permission unless the law allows it.

8. Third-party links and services

The site may mention outside technologies, manufacturers, organizations or resources.

The Clinic does not control the content, availability, security or privacy practices of third-party sites.

Mention of an external product, brand or service does not necessarily amount to a recommendation, endorsement or guarantee by the Clinic.

9. Acceptable use

You must not use the site in a way that may:

• compromise its operation or security;

• infringe the rights of the Clinic or a third party;

• transmit fraudulent, illegal or malicious content;

• use forms for solicitation or excessive automated submissions.

The Clinic may restrict access when it detects abuse or activity that may compromise site security.

10. Changes
