- Professional Advice
SupportingLines provides leadership development tools, frameworks, and insights intended to support reflection, learning, and decision-making. The Services, including any content or outputs generated through automated or artificial intelligence features, are provided for general informational purposes only.
SupportingLines does not provide legal, medical, financial, mental health, employment, or other regulated professional services. Nothing made available through the Services should be interpreted as professional advice or relied upon as a substitute for consultation with qualified professionals.

- applying your own judgment and interpretation; and
- seeking advice from appropriate qualified professionals before making decisions that may have legal, financial, medical, employment, or other significant consequences.
