Terms and Conditions

Last updated: September 24, 2026. By using covidedsc.com, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What the site is

Covidedsc is a public-health education publication for South Carolina. It explains health guidance issued by public agencies and medical sources. It isn't a medical provider, and nothing on it creates a doctor-patient, lawyer-client or other professional relationship.

Acceptable use

You may read, share links to and print articles for personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to:

• copy or republish articles in full without written permission;
• scrape the site in a way that burdens our server, or bypass technical limits;
• interfere with ads, forms or security features in ways that harm the site or other readers;
• use the contact form to send spam, malware, threats or unlawful content;
• present our content as your own, or imply that Covidedsc endorses you or your product.

Intellectual property

Unless noted, the text, design, and wordmark on this site belong to Covidedsc. Short quotations with a link back are fine. Headlines shown from outside publishers belong to those publishers, and we display only headlines and links, never their full articles. Public-domain government material we cite remains public domain.

Accuracy and changing guidance

Health guidance changes. We date time-sensitive articles and try to keep them current, but we can't promise that every page reflects the very latest recommendation at the moment you read it. Always check the date and the linked source, and ask a qualified professional about your own situation.

No professional advice

Content on Covidedsc is general information. It isn't medical, legal or financial advice. In an emergency, call 911.

Third-party links, feeds and ads

We link to other websites, show headlines from outside feeds, and display ads. We don't control those sites or advertisers and aren't responsible for their content, products or practices. An ad on this site isn't an endorsement.

Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the extent the law allows.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Covidedsc and its writers and contributors aren't liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site. Where liability can't be excluded, it's limited to the greatest extent the law allows.

Indemnity

If you misuse the site or break these terms and that causes a claim against us, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of that claim.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in South Carolina.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and continuing to use the site means you accept it.
