Terms of use

Who runs this site

chrisarori.com is run by Dr. Christopher Arori, PMHNP-BC, an author, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and speaker based in Raleigh, North Carolina. “We” and “us” on this page mean Dr. Arori.

By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it.

Using the site

You’re welcome to read, share links to and learn from anything here. Please don’t:

• try to break, overload or get around the site’s security, including the spam check on the inquiry form
• send spam, abuse, or anything unlawful through the inquiry form
• pretend to be someone else when you write to us
• copy the site’s content in bulk, by hand or with automated tools, except as the law allows

We may change, pause or remove any part of the site at any time.

Content and copyright

The text, photographs, book covers and design of this site are © Dr. Christopher Arori, unless marked otherwise. All rights reserved.

You may quote short passages for reviews, articles or teaching, with credit to Dr. Christopher Arori and a link back to the site. For anything more, such as reprinting a health note or using a photo, please ask first. Fonts and other parts made by others stay under their own licenses.

Health information is not medical advice

The books, health notes, talks and answers on this site share general health education. They are not medical advice for you personally, and they are not a substitute for seeing your own doctor, nurse practitioner or other clinician.

Using this site, reading the books or writing to us does not create a clinician-patient relationship with Dr. Arori. Please talk to your own clinician about your symptoms, screenings and treatment, and don’t delay getting care because of something you read here.

If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline). In an emergency, call 911.

Buying books

The books are sold on Amazon. When you buy, you buy from Amazon, under Amazon’s terms, prices and return rules. Prices shown on this site are a guide and can change; the price on Amazon is the one that counts. Questions about an order, delivery or a refund go to Amazon.

Speaking, bulk copies and other requests

Sending an inquiry about a talk, an event, bulk or signed copies, or an interview is a request, not a booking or an order. Nothing is agreed until we confirm the details with you in writing, such as the date, place, fee, number of copies and price. We may decline any request.

If you share a review or what you thought of a book, you let us quote it on the site with your first name and town, unless you tell us not to.

Links to other sites

The site links to places we don’t run, such as Amazon, Psychology Today, social networks, Google Calendar and Google Maps. We aren’t responsible for their content, their terms or how they handle your information. A link isn’t an endorsement of everything on the other site.

Disclaimer

We work to keep the site accurate and up to date, but we can’t promise it is complete, current or free of errors, or that it will always be available. Health knowledge changes, and event details can change too. The site is provided “as is.”

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Dr. Arori is not liable for any loss or harm that comes from using this site or relying on its content, including decisions about your health made without your own clinician. Some places don’t allow certain limits on liability, so parts of this may not apply to you. Nothing here limits any rights you have that the law says can’t be limited.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in North Carolina.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. If you keep using the site after a change, the updated terms apply.
