Nothing communicated in any episode, interview, introduction, summary, caption, promotional material, transcript, or associated content should be construed as professional medical advice, psychological or psychiatric counsel, legal guidance, financial advice, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic treatment, or any other form of regulated professional service.

Listeners and viewers are strongly advised to seek the guidance of qualified, licensed professionals before making any decisions relating to their physical health, mental health, financial matters, or legal circumstances based on content heard or viewed within any episode of this Network.

This disclaimer applies to all current and future episodes across all shows within the Network, on all distribution platforms, including but not limited to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, YouTube, Captivate, and RSS feeds. It applies regardless of the format of the episode, including audio, video, transcript, show notes, audiogram, social media clip, or any other form in which episode content is made available.

2. Guest Responsibility and Independence of Views

This Network regularly features guests, speakers, interviewees, subject matter contributors, and co-participants (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Guests"). All opinions, statements, recommendations, claims, narratives, personal accounts, theories, beliefs, and information expressed by any Guest during any episode are exclusively the personal views and independent expressions of that Guest alone.

The following is expressly acknowledged:

Guests speak entirely on their own behalf and are solely and fully responsible for the accuracy, legality, truthfulness, and appropriateness of every statement they make.

Guest views do not represent, reflect, or constitute the views, beliefs, policies, or positions of Healthy Mind by Avik™, Digitimes Pvt Ltd, PodHub, the host or hosts, producers, editors, or any affiliated individuals or entities.

No Guest is authorised to speak on behalf of the Network, and any such attempt or implication does not create any liability, responsibility, or obligation for the Network.

The Network does not verify, independently fact-check, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, currency, or reliability of any information or claim provided by a Guest.

The appearance of any Guest on any episode of this Network does not constitute an endorsement, partnership, affiliation, sponsorship, or professional relationship of any kind between that Guest and the Network.

The Network does not independently verify the professional credentials, qualifications, certifications, or regulatory standing of any Guest. Guests are solely responsible for accurately representing their own background, expertise, and qualifications. Where a Guest discusses topics that may require regulated professional credentials in one or more jurisdictions, including but not limited to mental health, trauma, medical practice, legal advice, financial guidance, or clinical psychology, listeners are strongly encouraged to verify the Guest's credentials independently and to seek advice from a duly qualified and registered professional before acting on any information shared.

In addition to this written disclaimer, hosts within our Network are instructed to deliver verbal reminders within episodes where appropriate, noting that episode content is supportive and informational in nature and is not a substitute for professional advice. The presence or absence of a verbal in-episode reminder does not affect the applicability of this written disclaimer, which governs all Content across the Network at all times.

10. Responsible and Critical Consumption of Content

Healthy Mind by Avik™ is built on the belief that awareness, honest conversation, and access to diverse perspectives are powerful tools for personal growth. However, we urge every listener and viewer to engage with all content on this Network thoughtfully, critically, and responsibly.

Listeners and viewers are encouraged to: approach all content with independent judgment and not accept any statement, claim, or opinion shared in any episode as absolute fact without conducting their own research or consulting a qualified professional; recognise that Guests speak from their own lived experience, personal expertise, or individual perspective, which may be subjective, incomplete, or not applicable to their specific circumstances; distinguish between general awareness content and personalised professional guidance, understanding that this Network provides the former and never the latter; use episodes as a starting point for reflection and further inquiry and not as a definitive guide to decision-making in matters of health, relationships, finance, law, or any other sensitive domain; consume content at a pace and in a manner that is emotionally safe for them, and if any episode raises distressing thoughts or feelings, to pause and seek support from a qualified mental health professional or crisis service in their region; apply context and discernment, understanding that a viewpoint shared by a Guest reflects one voice in a broader conversation and does not represent the full complexity of any topic; and independently verify the professional credentials and qualifications of any Guest whose guidance they intend to act upon, particularly in areas relating to mental health, medical practice, legal advice, financial guidance, or any other regulated field.

We are deeply committed to the wellbeing of our global community. This commitment is precisely why we ask you not to listen blindly, but to listen wisely. Your critical engagement with content does not diminish the value of what you hear. It amplifies it.

The Network shall bear no responsibility for any outcome arising from a listener's failure to exercise reasonable independent judgment and critical thinking while consuming content on this platform.
