Public usage rules · version 1.0

Usage policy

Use Advocate Not Adversary to read public resources, prepare questions, communicate respectfully, report problems, and use the available accessibility controls. The detailed acceptable-use rules remain available at Acceptable use; this route gives the public-facing usage status in a shorter form.

Current release status: Paid checkout is inactive, and Google AdSense advertisements are not active on this website. This notice does not activate payments or advertising.

Public information and the currently published free resources are available under their stated limits. A future membership or paid resource must be separately enabled and described before any charge is offered.

Appropriate uses

Read, print, and use public educational materials for personal or family preparation, subject to the stated license and product description.
Ask Chris AI general adult-caregiver questions within its published scope, then verify important information independently.
Use browser zoom, translation, keyboard controls, screen readers, and other assistive technology.
Report an accessibility barrier, privacy concern, security issue, unsafe response, or content error through the available human route.
Link to public pages accurately without implying sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, or professional approval.

Do not use the site to

Threaten, encourage, facilitate, or celebrate violence, self-harm, abuse, exploitation, stalking, harassment, discrimination, or illegal conduct.
Upload malware, credentials, secret keys, payment-card data, bank details, government identifiers, medical records, IEP files, or another person’s private information without authority.
Impersonate an owner, visitor, clinician, attorney, school official, emergency worker, or other person.
Overload the service, scrape in a way that degrades it, bypass a rate limit or bot check, defeat a safety control, or probe a system outside this website.
Present automated output, a download, or a personal story as a diagnosis, prescription, legal opinion, professional evaluation, guaranteed result, or emergency instruction.
Copy, resell, remove attribution from, or misrepresent protected material except as allowed by law or the stated license.

Interactive and commercial boundaries

Chris AI and newsletter signup are intended for adults. A checkbox is an acknowledgement, not identity or age verification. The site is not a crisis line or professional service. Free resources do not require payment. Product previews marked Coming Soon are not offers to pay, and paid checkout is currently inactive. The refund policy readiness notice explains why seller-specific refund terms are not being invented before launch.

Reports and review

Send only the information needed to understand a report. Do not include secrets, payment details, medical records, or identifying information about a child. Good-faith corrections and accessibility reports are welcome. The site may refuse a request, rate-limit traffic, pause a feature, or preserve relevant evidence when needed for safety, privacy, or service integrity. A review route does not guarantee a particular outcome.
