Terms of Use
The agreement between you and HomeLife Wave when you read the site, join the community, or contribute. Short, because fairness does not need forty pages.
Who we are
HomeLife Wave is a digital publication covering health, wealth, and lifestyle news for the United States, owned and operated by Wave Agency (waveagency.com) of Melville, New York. Using homelifewave.com means you accept these terms; if something here does not sit right with you, the remedy is simply not to use the site.
The health disclaimer that actually matters
Everything published by HomeLife Wave is offered for information. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for the judgment of a physician or licensed practitioner who knows you. We do not publish claims that any practice or product cures, treats, or prevents disease, and nothing on this site should be read that way. Decisions about your health belong with you and your care providers.
Our content
Articles, artwork, photography, and the design of this site are protected by copyright, held by HomeLife Wave or by the contributors who created them. You are welcome to read, share links, and quote briefly with credit. Republishing a piece in full requires permission: ask through the contact page and we will connect you with the author. Some articles are sponsored; they are always clearly labeled as sponsored.
Your content
Contributors keep ownership of the work they submit; publishing terms are agreed with our editorial team through the contact page. Comments and conversation posts remain yours too, and by posting you give us permission to display them on the site.
Community conduct
The comments and conversations exist for genuine exchange between readers. We remove, and may hold for review before publishing, anything that is abusive, hateful, harassing, obscene, spam, commercial solicitation, or a claim that a product or practice cures disease. Repeated abuse ends the account. We moderate with a light hand and a human eye, but moderation decisions are ours and are final.
Accounts
Accounts are signed in with a one-time emailed code; keep access to your email secure, since it is the key to your account. You are responsible for what is posted from your account. You can leave at any time by asking us to delete your account through the contact page, or on the delete account page.
Advertising
Advertising keeps the site free to read. Ads are served by us, first-party, with no third-party ad networks or trackers. Advertisers are responsible for the claims in their own ads, and an ad on HomeLife Wave is not our endorsement of every claim it makes. Advertising terms, specs, and rates live on the advertise page.
The limits of our responsibility
The site is provided as it is, without warranties. To the fullest extent the law allows, HomeLife Wave is not liable for damages arising from use of the site, reliance on its content, or the conduct of other users or advertisers. External links leave our responsibility at the door they open.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms; the date above always reflects the current version, and meaningful changes will be noted in the newsletter. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Questions go through the contact page.
