7. News content; no professional advice
Content is provided for general informational purposes. Health, science, financial, business and legal reporting summarizes research, official statements and market or public events as reported by identifiable sources; it is not medical, investment, financial, legal or other professional advice, and you should consult qualified professionals before making decisions affecting your health, finances or legal position.

11. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts, unless applicable law grants you a non-waivable right to bring proceedings in another forum. You agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us through the Contact page before filing any formal proceeding.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms at any time in our discretion. The current version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date, and material changes will be signalled on the Site.

13. Suspension and termination
We may suspend, restrict or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we reasonably believe violates these Terms, harms the Site or its users, or exposes us to legal liability. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 3, 4, 8, 9, 10 and 11 — shall survive.
14. General provisions
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any written licence or agreement between you and us, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will continue in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision or of the right to enforce it later. You may not assign these Terms or any rights under them without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
