The short version
- This site is editorial reference, not medical advice.
- Talk to a doctor before doing anything you read here.
- You use the site at your own risk.
If those three bullets don't work for you, close the tab. If they do, keep reading.
What you can do with our content
You can read it. You can share links. You can quote a paragraph or two with attribution back to the page you took it from. You can email articles to friends. You can screenshot a callout for a Reddit thread as long as the screenshot includes the page name or URL.
In short, normal human sharing is fine and we like it.
What you cannot do
- No scraping. Don't run bots, crawlers, or automated tools to pull pages or data at scale.
- No republishing. Don't copy whole articles to your own site, newsletter, or PDF and pass them off as original.
- No commercial AI training. Don't ingest our content into a commercial language model, embeddings database, or AI product without written permission first. Personal use, search, and citation are fine.
- No misrepresenting us. Don't claim Protocol One endorses a vendor, product, or person we haven't actually endorsed.
- No reverse-engineering the affiliate flow. Don't strip our attribution to deny us a commission you would otherwise have triggered.
If you want to syndicate, partner, or license content for something bigger than a quote, email hello@readprotocolone.com and ask. We say yes more than we say no.
Affiliate disclosure
We earn commissions when readers click vendor links and purchase. The vendor pays us. You pay the same price either way. Full breakdown lives at /disclosure.
Medical disclaimer
We are not your doctor. We are not anyone's doctor.
Protocol One is a reference site written by editors who read a lot of clinical trials. Nothing on this site is medical advice. Nothing on this site creates a clinician-patient relationship. Nothing on this site is a prescription, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan.
Peptides interact with medications. Peptides have side effects. Peptides affect different bodies differently. Before you act on anything you read here, talk to a licensed medical provider who knows your history, has your labs, and can monitor you.
If you are pregnant, nursing, trying to conceive, under 18, on a prescription medication, or managing a chronic condition, this site is informational only. The "right" peptide for someone on a podcast is not automatically the right peptide for you.
Limitation of liability
You use this site at your own risk. To the maximum extent allowed by Tennessee law:
- We are not liable for any harm, injury, illness, financial loss, or other damage that comes from you acting on what you read here.
- We are not liable for the actions of any third party we link to, including affiliate vendors, telehealth providers, compounding pharmacies, or peptide manufacturers.
- We are not liable for outages, bugs, broken links, outdated information, or anything else that goes sideways on the site itself.
If a court decides we have to be liable for something despite all that, our total liability is capped at $100 USD or what you paid us in the last 12 months, whichever is greater. You haven't paid us anything, so this is effectively $100.
Indemnification
If your use of the site causes a third party to come after us (lawsuit, claim, demand, whatever), you agree to cover our reasonable legal costs and any damages, as long as the claim came from your conduct and not ours.
Translation: if you take a peptide based on something you read here, have a bad reaction, and someone tries to sue Protocol One on your behalf, you agree not to drag us into it.
User-submitted content
We don't currently take comments, replies, or user submissions. If we add that later, this section will get updated and we'll explain what we do with anything you send us. Until then, anything you email or post about us is your own.
Governing law
These terms are governed by Tennessee law. Any dispute that can't be worked out by email gets resolved in state or federal court in Davidson County, Tennessee. You agree to that venue when you use the site.
Changes to terms
We'll update this page when something material changes. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the new version. If a change is big enough to matter, we'll mention it in the newsletter.
