Last Updated: September 7, 2026
This Not-a-Therapy & No Medical Advice Disclaimer (“Disclaimer”) explains the nature and limitations of services made available through Cry-Fi (“Cry-Fi”, “Platform”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).
1. Platform Purpose
Cry-Fi is a technology platform that connects Support Seekers with independent Listeners for general emotional-support conversations.
Cry-Fi is intended to facilitate:
Informal emotional support
General conversation
Human connection
Non-professional listening
A space for users to express thoughts and feelings

Cry-Fi does not provide or represent its services as:
Therapy
Professional counseling
Psychiatry
Psychological treatment
Clinical mental-health services
Mental-health diagnosis
Clinical assessment
Crisis intervention
Emergency mental-health care
A session conducted through Cry-Fi must not be interpreted as professional mental-health treatment or as a substitute for care from an appropriately qualified professional.

Users should not rely on Cry-Fi conversations for:
Medical diagnosis
Treatment decisions
Medication decisions
Prescription guidance
Clinical recommendations
Medical or psychiatric treatment
Assessment of medical or psychiatric conditions
Where professional medical or mental-health assistance is appropriate, users should consult an appropriately qualified and licensed professional or healthcare provider.
4. No Professional Relationship
Use of Cry-Fi does not by itself create:
A therapist-client relationship
A doctor-patient relationship
A counselor-client relationship
A healthcare-provider relationship
Any other regulated professional relationship
Listeners operate as independent service providers and are not employees, agents, or healthcare providers of Cry-Fi.
A Listener may have professional qualifications independently of Cry-Fi. However, unless a service is expressly represented by Cry-Fi as a professional service that it is legally permitted to provide, participation in a Cry-Fi session does not make that session therapy, medical care, or another regulated professional service.
Listeners must accurately represent their qualifications and must comply with Cry-Fi policies and applicable law.
5. No Emergency or Crisis Service
Cry-Fi is not an emergency or crisis-response service.
Cry-Fi should not be relied upon for:
Immediate danger
Medical emergencies
Suicide or self-harm emergencies
Threats of imminent violence
Psychiatric emergencies
Serious physical harm
Any situation requiring immediate professional or emergency intervention
If you or another person is in immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency services or qualified emergency/crisis professionals available in your location.
Cry-Fi cannot guarantee immediate assistance, emergency intervention, emergency response, or a particular safety outcome.
6. Listener Limitations
Listeners must operate within the scope permitted by Cry-Fi and must not falsely represent themselves or their services.
Listeners must not, through Cry-Fi:
Falsely claim professional qualifications or credentials
Misrepresent themselves as healthcare professionals
Provide unauthorized diagnosis
Provide medical treatment
Provide medical advice
Prescribe or direct users to take medication

Users are responsible for:
Their own decisions and actions
How they interpret conversations
Determining when professional assistance may be appropriate
Seeking qualified professional assistance when necessary
Providing accurate information when seeking help through the Platform
Cry-Fi conversations are not a substitute for professional evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, or emergency assistance.
8. No Guaranteed Outcomes
Cry-Fi does not guarantee:
Emotional improvement
Relief from distress
Resolution of personal problems
Improved mental health
Particular personal or emotional outcomes
The effectiveness of any statement, suggestion, or perspective offered by a Listener

9. Emotional Dependency and Boundaries
Cry-Fi is intended to facilitate individual emotional-support conversations and is not intended to replace:
Real-world relationships
Professional healthcare
Therapy
Long-term mental-health care
Personal support networks
Appropriate emergency or crisis services
Users should maintain appropriate boundaries with Listeners.
Listeners must not intentionally encourage unhealthy emotional dependency, manipulation, coercion, exploitation, or inappropriate reliance for financial or personal gain.
Cry-Fi may take appropriate platform-level action where available information indicates manipulation, exploitation, unhealthy dependency, or another safety or policy concern.
10. Self-Harm, Suicide & Harm to Others
Cry-Fi does not provide crisis intervention or emergency medical services.
Users and Listeners should not rely on Cry-Fi as their sole source of assistance where there is an immediate risk of:
Self-harm
Suicide
Violence
Serious physical harm
Medical emergency
Where Cry-Fi becomes aware of a serious safety concern through information available to the Platform, Cry-Fi may take reasonable platform-level action consistent with its Safety & Reporting Policy, applicable law, and available information.
Depending on the circumstances, such action may include restricting an account or session, preserving relevant information, reviewing available reports or platform records, or taking other measures permitted by Cry-Fi policies and applicable law.
Such action does not guarantee emergency intervention, rescue, or a particular safety outcome.
11. Video & Audio Sessions
Cry-Fi may provide integrated Video and/or Audio Session functionality through Cry-Fi or third-party communication technology.
These features are communication tools intended to facilitate a booked session between authorized participants.
The availability of video, audio, meeting access controls, session timers, or automatic session expiry does not change the nature of Cry-Fi services.
A Video or Audio Session remains an emotional-support conversation and does not constitute:
Therapy
Medical care
Professional counseling
Psychological treatment
Crisis intervention
Emergency assistance
Cry-Fi does not represent that ordinary live Video or Audio Sessions are automatically recorded, permanently stored, or continuously monitored by Cry-Fi. Third-party communication providers may have their own data practices and terms.
12. Session Duration & Automatic Expiry
Where Cry-Fi provides a timed Video or Audio Session, the session is intended to operate only during the scheduled booking period.
The Platform or its communication provider may:

Restrict access before the permitted start time
