​

1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Evolve Therapy, also known as Evolve Counseling ("Evolve Therapy," "we," "us," or "our").

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of our website, https://www.evolvetherapymn.com, including its publicly available pages, content, forms, functionality, and associated online services (collectively, the "Website").

The Website provides information about our counseling services, therapists, practice, and related educational resources.

By accessing or using the Website, you are subject to these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent a legally enforceable agreement has been formed.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please discontinue use of the Website, except where access is otherwise protected by applicable law.

Certain activities, including security testing, intrusive automated scanning, and unauthorized technical assessments, require our prior express written authorization as described below.

​

2. Purpose of the Website

The Website provides general information about mental health counseling, relationship counseling, individual therapy, couples therapy, teletherapy, and other professional services offered by Evolve Therapy.

Website content is intended for general informational and educational purposes.

Information presented on the Website is not a substitute for individualized professional mental health assessment, diagnosis, or treatment.

Viewing the Website, reading its content, or submitting a general inquiry does not establish a therapist-client relationship.

A professional therapeutic relationship is established only through appropriate intake, acceptance, informed consent, and other procedures required by the practice and applicable law.

​

3. Medical and Mental Health Disclaimer

Information published on the Website is not intended to provide individualized medical advice, psychiatric advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Mental health needs and treatment outcomes vary by individual.

No particular therapeutic outcome is guaranteed.

Visitors should consult an appropriately qualified healthcare or mental health professional regarding individual concerns.

Emergency Situations

The Website is not an emergency response service.

If you or someone else is experiencing an immediate emergency, call 911 or seek emergency medical assistance.

For suicide or mental health crisis support in the United States, call or text 988.

Do not use website contact forms or general email communications to request emergency assistance.

​

4. Scheduling, Services, and Professional Relationships

Information concerning therapist availability, services, scheduling, fees, and appointment arrangements may change.

Submission of an appointment inquiry does not guarantee acceptance as a client or availability of a particular therapist.

Clinical services are governed by applicable professional standards, informed consent documentation, practice policies, and any separate agreements provided during intake.

In the event of a conflict between these Website Terms and applicable patient rights, professional obligations, clinical consent documents, or mandatory law, the applicable legal or clinical requirements control.

These Terms do not replace informed consent, clinical service agreements, or any Notice of Privacy Practices applicable to protected health information.

​

5. Privacy and Personal Information

Our collection, use, disclosure, and retention of personal information through the Website are described in our Privacy Policy:

https://www.evolvetherapymn.com/privacy-policy

The Privacy Policy explains our use of website hosting services, Wix infrastructure, analytics technologies, cookies, contact forms, and security monitoring.

Use of the Website does not constitute consent to data processing where applicable law requires a separate affirmative consent.

Information associated with an established therapeutic relationship may be subject to additional confidentiality and health privacy protections.

​

6. Acceptable Website Use

Visitors may use the Website for lawful purposes consistent with its intended functions, including:

• Learning about Evolve Therapy and its services.

• Obtaining information about therapists and scheduling.

• Submitting legitimate service inquiries.

• Accessing publicly available information through ordinary browsing.

• Using accessibility tools and assistive technologies.

• Conducting lawful search engine indexing and AI-assisted information discovery.

Visitors must not intentionally interfere with Website security, functionality, availability, or the rights of other users.

The restrictions below apply to unauthorized activities and do not prohibit conduct that is protected by applicable law.

​

7. Unauthorized Security Testing and Technical Reconnaissance

7.1 Express Restrictions

Evolve Therapy expressly withholds authorization for third parties to conduct penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, exploitation attempts, intrusive security scanning, or adversarial technical reconnaissance of the Website or associated systems without prior express written permission.

These restrictions apply to individuals, commercial organizations, competitors, security researchers, technical consultants, automated agents, and persons acting on their behalf.

7.2 Prohibited Security Activities

Unless expressly authorized in writing, the following activities are prohibited to the extent such restrictions are enforceable under applicable law:

• Penetration testing and exploitation attempts.

• Automated vulnerability scanning.

• Port scanning and network enumeration.

• Directory brute-forcing and endpoint enumeration.

• Authentication and access-control attacks.

• Fuzzing and automated exploitation testing.

• Attempts to discover or exploit security misconfigurations.

• Unauthorized testing of APIs, administrative interfaces, or restricted resources.

• Circumvention of authentication mechanisms, firewalls, rate limits, CAPTCHA systems, or bot protections.

• Activities that impair Website availability, security, performance, or normal operation.

Permission to access publicly available content does not constitute express authorization to perform intrusive security testing.

​

8. Unauthorized Automated Accessibility, Usability, and Compliance Testing

8.1 Automated Technical Assessments

Evolve Therapy does not authorize unsolicited intrusive automated technical assessments of its Website without prior express written permission.

This includes automated testing intended to identify alleged deficiencies involving:

• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility requirements.

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

• Website usability or functionality.

• Privacy and consumer protection compliance.

• Cookie and tracking technology configurations.

• Security headers, network requests, or technical infrastructure.

• Other regulatory or technical compliance matters.

8.2 Litigation-Oriented Automated Reconnaissance

Evolve Therapy expressly withholds authorization for intrusive automated scanning, systematic technical reconnaissance, or automated exploitation testing conducted for the purpose of identifying prospective litigation targets, generating unsolicited legal demands, or conducting adversarial technical investigations without prior written permission.

This includes unauthorized automated examination of website configurations, tracking technologies, network requests, or security controls undertaken as part of such activities.

These restrictions apply regardless of whether the activity is conducted by an individual, competitor, commercial scanning provider, legal investigator, or automated agent.

8.3 Protection of Lawful Rights

Nothing in these Terms prohibits:

• Legitimate accessibility complaints.

• Requests for reasonable accommodations.

• Lawful privacy or consumer protection claims.

• Legally protected investigations.

• Ordinary use of assistive technologies.

• Lawful evidence preservation.

• Activities that cannot legally be restricted by contract.

• The exercise of rights protected under applicable federal or state law.

Evolve Therapy welcomes good-faith reports of accessibility barriers and concerns about website functionality.

Individuals who experience difficulty accessing Website content may contact our office for assistance or to request information through an alternative accessible method.

​

9. Automated Browsers, Bots, and Web Scraping

9.1 Restricted Automated Activity

Except as expressly permitted or otherwise protected by law, unauthorized automated activity is prohibited when used to:

• Conduct intrusive technical assessments.

• Perform penetration testing or vulnerability discovery.

• Circumvent security or access restrictions.

• Systematically harvest nonpublic information.

• Interfere with Website performance.

• Conduct unauthorized adversarial technical reconnaissance.

• Attempt to access restricted Website resources.

These restrictions include activities performed through automated browsers, scripts, headless browsing tools, Selenium, WebDriver, and similar technologies.

The mere use of an automated browser does not, by itself, establish malicious or unlawful activity.

9.2 Permitted Search Engine and AI Crawling

Evolve Therapy permits ordinary lawful content discovery and indexing by recognized search engines, artificial intelligence crawlers, large language models, and other information discovery services.

Examples include legitimate search indexing, content retrieval, and publicly available information discovery.

Permission to index publicly accessible content does not authorize penetration testing, intrusive vulnerability scanning, circumvention of security controls, or access to restricted systems.

9.3 No Implied Authorization

The public availability of Website content, successful HTTP responses, accessible source code, discoverable endpoints, or absence of technical restrictions does not constitute express written authorization to conduct the restricted testing activities described in these Terms.

Authorization for restricted technical testing must be obtained in advance from an authorized representative of Evolve Therapy.

​

10. Security Monitoring and Evidence Preservation

Evolve Therapy and its authorized technology providers may monitor Website activity to maintain security, detect malicious traffic, investigate technical incidents, and protect Website operations.

Monitoring may include technical information such as:

• IP addresses and request timestamps.

• Browser and user-agent information.

• Requested URLs and HTTP response codes.

• Session and request identifiers.

• Bot detection and automated browser indicators.

• Security events and suspected access-control violations.

Where reasonably necessary and permitted by law, relevant technical information may be preserved in connection with security investigations, legal proceedings, compliance obligations, or the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Information is processed and retained in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

We may share relevant evidence with authorized service providers, cybersecurity professionals, legal counsel, law enforcement, or other appropriate parties where legally permitted.

​

11. Enforcement and Reservation of Rights

Evolve Therapy reserves the right, to the extent permitted by law, to take reasonable action in response to suspected unauthorized or harmful Website activity.

Such actions may include:

• Restricting or blocking access.

• Applying security challenges or rate limits.

• Investigating suspicious technical activity.

• Preserving relevant evidence.

• Issuing notices requesting cessation of unauthorized activity.

• Reporting suspected unlawful activity to appropriate authorities.

• Pursuing available civil remedies.

Certain forms of unauthorized computer access, circumvention, interference, or malicious activity may violate federal or state law, including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1030, when the statutory requirements are satisfied.

The United States Department of Justice provides guidance concerning computer fraud and unauthorized access in Justice Manual § 9-48.000:

https://www.justice.gov/jm/jm-9-48000-computer-fraud

A violation of these Terms does not, by itself, establish a criminal offense, satisfy the elements of a civil computer misuse claim, or create an independent cause of action.

Evolve Therapy reserves all rights and remedies otherwise available under applicable law.

12. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, Website content, including original text, graphics, logos, photographs, videos, page designs, and other materials, is owned by Evolve Therapy or used with appropriate authorization.

Such materials may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Visitors may access and use publicly available content for lawful personal, informational, educational, and other legally permitted purposes.

Unauthorized reproduction, redistribution, commercial exploitation, or use of protected materials beyond applicable permissions and legal exceptions is prohibited.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights provided by applicable copyright exceptions, including fair use.

​

13. Third-Party Services and Links

The Website is hosted through Wix and may use third-party services supporting analytics, website functionality, communications, scheduling, and other operations.

The Website may also contain links to independently operated third-party websites or services.

Evolve Therapy does not control all third-party content, systems, or privacy practices.

Visitors should review applicable third-party terms and privacy policies before using those services.

Evolve Therapy is not responsible for third-party conduct to the extent such responsibility may lawfully be excluded.

​

14. Website Availability and Accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate, accessible, and useful Website content.

However, Website information may occasionally be incomplete, outdated, or affected by technical errors.

We may update, modify, or discontinue Website content or functionality as appropriate.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted Website availability or that all content will be free from errors.

Nothing in this section limits obligations or rights that cannot legally be excluded, including applicable accessibility, consumer protection, privacy, and healthcare obligations.

​

15. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and its general informational content are provided on an "as available" basis without warranties beyond those required by law.

We do not warrant that Website information is suitable for diagnosing or treating any particular condition or that general educational content will produce a particular clinical outcome.

This disclaimer applies to public Website content and does not replace or limit professional duties, clinical standards of care, patient rights, or obligations arising from an established therapist-client relationship.

​

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Evolve Therapy is not responsible for losses arising solely from ordinary Website interruptions, technical inaccuracies, or reliance on general informational content where such liability may lawfully be excluded.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for professional negligence, unlawful conduct, statutory violations, privacy violations, or other matters for which liability cannot legally be limited.

These Terms do not modify rights or remedies arising under applicable healthcare, disability, or consumer protection laws.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

To the extent a legally enforceable agreement is formed and applicable law permits, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflicting choice-of-law principles.

Disputes arising solely from an enforceable contractual relationship under these Website Terms may be subject to the jurisdiction of courts located in Minnesota, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in this provision overrides mandatory jurisdictional requirements, limits statutory rights, or requires patients to waive protections provided by applicable law.

These Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or waive the right to a jury trial.

​

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed to the extent permitted by law.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent legally permissible.

​

19. Changes to These Terms

Evolve Therapy may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes in Website functionality, security practices, business operations, or applicable law.

The date at the beginning of this document identifies the most recent update.

Material changes will be communicated where required by law.

Changes apply prospectively unless otherwise permitted by law.
