Now for the legal boring stuff: ​

​​

Agreement Between User & OCD Lemmonaide

​​

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of peer support services provided by OCD Lemmonaide, a peer support service operated by Summer Lemmon, CMPSS (“I,” “me,” or “my”). These Terms apply to both the OCD Lemmonaide website and any peer support services, communications, or sessions offered through it. By booking, purchasing, or engaging in services, you agree to these Terms.

​

2. No Medical or Clinical Advice

Peer support is non-clinical and non-therapeutic. Services are based on lived experience with OCD and mood disorders and are intended to provide empathy, encouragement, the sharing of resources, and mutual support.

Peer support does not replace psychotherapy, psychiatry, medical care, or crisis services.

​

I am not acting as a licensed mental health professional, and no therapeutic, diagnostic, or medical relationship is established. Users should consult licensed professionals for medical or psychiatric guidance. If you are in crisis or danger, contact emergency services immediately. ​

​

​Any information shared is offered from a peer perspective only and should not be interpreted as medical, psychological, or professional advice.

​

3. User Responsibilities

By using the OCD Lemmonaide website, you agree to engage respectfully, lawfully, and in alignment with the intended purpose of OCD Lemmonaide.

 

You agree not to:

• Use the site for harassment, abuse, or illegal activity
• Share harmful, explicit, or discriminatory content
• Provide medical advice if you are not qualified
• Impersonate individuals or misrepresent your identity
• Upload malicious files or attempt to disrupt the site

Violation may result in restricted access at the discretion of OCD Lemmonaide.

​

OCD Lemmonaide reserves the right to refuse or discontinue services if use falls outside the scope of peer support.

​

4. Community Code of Conduct

• Engage with kindness and respect

• Not impersonate or misrepresent themselves

Access may be removed if guidelines are violated.

​

5. Age Requirement

Peer support services are offered to adults age 18+ only. I do not provide peer support services to minors.

​

6. Limitation of Liability

OCD Lemmonaide makes no guarantees of emotional or mental health outcomes. Use of this site is at your own discretion and risk.

 

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site owner is not liable for:

​

8. Data & Recording Policy

Peer support sessions are not recorded. Brief notes may be taken for continuity of care and are stored securely. Notes are confidential and used only to support ongoing peer support. Users may request deletion of notes unless retention is required for legal or safety reasons.

​

To protect both of us and maintain ethical peer support boundaries, the following DM policy applies:

​

Appropriate Use of DMs

Inappropriate Use of DMs

DMs may not be used for:

Response Time

Boundaries

If DM use exceeds these boundaries, I may:

These boundaries are in place to protect safety, sustainability, and clarity in the peer support relationship.
