You agree to use the Site in compliance with applicable laws and these Terms. You may not, in particular:

• attempt to access without authorisation non-public parts of the Site, its systems or its data;

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, these elements are the exclusive property of CQFD Lab inc. or its licensors.

The marks "CQFD Lab", "OPEN1200", "Here, to Nurture" and the related logos, visual identifiers and signatures are the property of CQFD Lab inc. Any unauthorised use is strictly prohibited.

You are authorised to browse the Site and to print or download reasonable extracts of content for your personal, non-commercial use, provided that you keep all intellectual-property notices intact. Any other use — reproduction, public display, adaptation, translation, commercial exploitation, inclusion in a derivative product or use to train machine-learning models — requires our prior written authorisation.

7. OPEN1200 appointments and third-party services

OPEN1200 appointments (20-minute diagnostic) are scheduled through a third-party booking tool (Cal.com), the use of which is governed by that provider's own terms and policies. We are not responsible for the operation, availability or practices of those third-party services.
