By accessing or using The Essence Almanac (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Who we are
The Essence Almanac is an independent educational publication about essential oils. It is not a licensed medical practice, pharmacy, or healthcare provider.
2. Educational purpose only — not medical advice
Everything on this site is informational and educational. Nothing we publish is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and nothing constitutes medical advice.
You should always consult a qualified healthcare provider before:
- Using essential oils during pregnancy or while nursing
- Using essential oils on or around children
- Using essential oils with prescription medications
- Using essential oils if you have a chronic medical condition, a respiratory condition, allergies, or compromised skin
Do not use any essential oil undiluted on skin, internally, or in the eyes. Always keep oils out of reach of children and pets.
3. Accuracy & updates
We make a reasonable effort to verify every article, and we date-stamp updates clearly. Safety and product information can and does change, however. You are responsible for verifying current manufacturer guidance before using any product.
If you find an inaccuracy, please email us at contactscienceaplus@gmail.com — we will correct or clarify the record promptly.
4. Affiliate links
Many outbound product links are Amazon affiliate links. Clicking one may earn us a commission at no additional cost to you. See our full affiliate disclosure. This never influences our ratings.
5. No warranties
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses, or that any recommendations will produce specific outcomes.
6. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Essence Almanac and its authors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Site — including injury, health outcomes, or property damage arising from your own use of essential oils. You assume full responsibility for how you apply any information found here.
7. Intellectual property
All original content on the Site — text, images, diagrams, and interactive tools — is copyright of The Essence Almanac unless otherwise credited. You are welcome to link to our pages. You may not republish substantial portions without written permission.
Short quotations for review or commentary with clear attribution and a link back are welcome under fair-use principles.
8. User-submitted content
If you email us a question, correction, or feedback, you grant us the right to quote it anonymously in future articles or FAQs. We will never publish your name, email, or identifying detail without your explicit permission.
9. Third-party sites
We link to third-party sites (most commonly Amazon). We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of those sites. Visiting them is at your own risk.
10. Modifications
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the current version. Continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
