Disclaimers & Disclosures

Maternal Support Co. creates business resources and digital products for professionals working in the maternal and perinatal space.

We are not a medical provider, healthcare facility, or substitute for a licensed healthcare professional. Nothing on this website or in our digital materials should be interpreted as:

• Medical diagnosis or obstetrical assessment
• Treatment recommendations or clinical protocols
• Clinical instructions for labor, birth, or postpartum management
• Emergency medical guidance
• Individualized medical advice

For medical questions, symptoms, or health concerns regarding pregnancy, labor, postpartum healing, lactation, or infant care, users should always consult an appropriately licensed physician, certified midwife, or other qualified healthcare provider.

In Case of Emergency: If you or someone you are supporting is experiencing a medical emergency, immediately contact your local emergency services (such as 911 in the United States) or proceed to the nearest emergency healthcare facility.

Maternal Support Co. is not a law firm and does not provide legal representation or legal advice.

Templates such as client contracts, service agreements, intake forms, business policies, model releases, and operational documents are provided as general business resources.

They are not guaranteed to be legally sufficient, compliant, or enforceable for a particular person, business, jurisdiction, profession, or individual situation. Laws and regulatory standards governing independent contractor status, doula services, client waivers, and contract enforceability vary significantly across different states, provinces, and countries.

Purchasing, downloading, or reviewing a template does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Maternal Support Co. Customers should consult a qualified attorney licensed in their jurisdiction when formal legal advice or contract review is needed.

Perinatal practitioners—including birth doulas, postpartum doulas, midwives, IBCLCs, and birth educators—operate within diverse professional models and regulatory environments.

Each practitioner is solely responsible for understanding, maintaining, and complying with:

• Their individual professional scope of practice
• Applicable local, state, and national laws and regulations
• Requirements, ethical codes, and standards of their certifying or professional organizations, where applicable
• Policies and protocols of any hospital, birth center, or healthcare facility where they provide support, where applicable

Maternal Support Co. does not determine, certify, regulate, or enforce any individual practitioner's clinical or non-clinical scope of practice.

All blog articles, downloadable guides, checklists, workflow examples, and educational content published on this website are provided solely for general informational purposes.

They may not reflect:

• Every geographic or legal jurisdiction
• Every practice model (solo practitioner, partnership, agency, or collective)
• Every client population or community need
• Every clinical environment, birth setting, or hospital policy
• Every unique business or legal scenario

Users should evaluate all information in the context of their own professional training, experience, and local practice circumstances.

All templates provided by Maternal Support Co. are intended as customizable starting points, not finalized legal instruments.

Customers are responsible for reviewing, adapting, and tailoring templates before using them in their business, including:

• Contract terms, payment structures, and retainer policies
• Cancellation, reschedule, and refund terms
• Scope of service statements and role boundaries
• Client intake questions, health histories, and informed consent phrasing
• Client communications and operational policies

Maternal Support Co. does not claim or warrant that any template guarantees legal protection, liability protection, favorable dispute resolution, professional certification compliance, insurance coverage, or regulatory compliance.

Our website design packages and digital system setups are creative and technology-implementation services.

• Specific search-engine rankings or Google placement
• Client inquiry numbers or discovery call volume
• Revenue, profit, or income growth
• Website conversion rates or visitor response
• Advertising performance or campaign return
• Overall commercial growth or business success

Website performance depends on factors outside our control, including search engine algorithms, third-party platform changes, hosting providers, local market demand, local competition, client pricing, and customer marketing implementation.

• Any other licensed clinical, legal, or fiduciary relationship

Maternal Support Co. makes no guarantee regarding specific business outcomes unless an express written service agreement signed by both parties states otherwise.
