Terms of use

Last updated: 2 July 2026

These terms govern your use of this website (drashkumar.com), operated by Dr Ash Kumar ("we", "us"). By using the site you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. They sit alongside our privacy policy.

Educational content — not medical advice

Everything on this site — articles, the podcast, the self-check and other interactive tools, and the book — is for general education and information only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it is not a substitute for care from your own doctor or a qualified health professional. Using this site, taking the self-check, or contacting us does not create a doctor–patient relationship. Always seek the advice of your GP or another qualified professional with any questions about your health, and never disregard or delay seeking that advice because of something you read here.

If you are struggling to cope or in crisis, please reach out for help: in the UK, Samaritans are free on 116 123 (day or night); in the US, call or text 988. In an emergency, call 999 (UK) or 911 (US).

Using the site

• Use the site lawfully and don't misuse it — no attempts to break, overload, or gain unauthorised access to it or its systems.
• Don't use our content in a way that's misleading, or that suggests we endorse you or your business without our written agreement.
• The interactive tools (the self-check, stress-stage finder and reset) run in your browser and are provided "as is" for reflection — not as a clinical assessment.

Intellectual property

The content on this site — text, articles, images, the brand and logo, and the design — is owned by Dr Ash Kumar or used with permission, and is protected by copyright and other rights. You're welcome to read and share links to it. You may not copy, republish or use it commercially without our written permission. The Boiling Frog and its companion workbook are separately protected works.

Links and third-party content

The site links to and embeds third-party services — for example Amazon (the book), YouTube and Buzzsprout (video and podcast), and forms hosted by Kajabi. We don't control those services and aren't responsible for their content, availability, or their own terms and privacy practices, which govern your use of them.

No guarantees

We work hard to keep the site accurate and available, but we don't guarantee it will always be error-free, uninterrupted, or that the information is complete or current. Stress, coaching and wellbeing outcomes vary from person to person — nothing here is a promise of any particular result, and testimonials and endorsements reflect individual experiences, not guarantees.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of (or inability to use) this site, or from reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability where it would be unlawful to do so — including for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Products and paid services

This page covers use of the website only. If and when we offer paid products or services (for example coaching, courses or events), those purchases will be governed by separate terms presented to you at the point of sale, which will take precedence for anything you buy.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time; the current version always lives on this page, with the date at the top. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
