By using the Service, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and have read and accepted these Terms.

ProtoHuman operates as an independent digital publication. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and ProtoHuman.

ProtoHuman is an editorial platform that publishes evidence-based articles, research summaries, and analysis in the fields of biohacking, longevity science, nutrition, sleep, and human performance optimisation. The Service may include:

• Publicly accessible articles and research breakdowns
• Reader accounts with comment functionality
• A newsletter subscription service
• A search feature

The information on this site reflects the authors' reading of publicly available scientific literature and does not create a doctor-patient relationship. Always consult a qualified, licensed healthcare professional before beginning any supplement regimen, dietary change, exercise protocol, or other health intervention described on this site. Individual responses to any intervention may vary significantly.

ProtoHuman is not liable for any health decisions made based on content published on this site.

You may register for an account to access comment functionality. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

We reserve the right to suspend or delete accounts that violate these Terms or applicable law.

By submitting comments, messages, or other content ("User Content"), you grant ProtoHuman a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to display, reproduce, and distribute that content in connection with the Service.

We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or remove any User Content at our discretion without notice. Comments are subject to moderation before publication.

All original editorial content published on ProtoHuman — including articles, images, graphics, and the site's visual design — is owned by or licensed to ProtoHuman and is protected by copyright law.

You may share links to our content and quote brief excerpts (up to 150 words) for commentary or educational purposes, provided you attribute ProtoHuman with a link to the original article. You may not reproduce articles in full, republish our content on other platforms, or use our content for commercial purposes without prior written permission.

Scientific findings, research papers, and publicly available data referenced in our articles remain the property of their respective authors and publishers.

ProtoHuman has no control over third-party content and does not endorse, warrant, or take responsibility for any third-party site, product, or service. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Some links may be affiliate links, meaning ProtoHuman may receive a commission if you make a purchase. This is disclosed clearly in the relevant content and does not affect editorial independence.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ProtoHuman and its contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — the Service or any content on it. This includes, without limitation, damages arising from health decisions made based on our content, reliance on the accuracy of scientific summaries, or service interruptions.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Turkey. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Turkey.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
