Terms of Use

Last Updated: September 11, 2026

Welcome to the website of Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services LLC. By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. These terms describe how this site and its materials may be used.

1. About This Website

This website offers information about Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services LLC, biblical counseling, and educational material related to anxiety, fear, intrusive thoughts, OCD-related habits, uncertainty, faith, and other struggles of life.

The articles and other materials on this website are offered for general educational and informational use. They are not a diagnosis, medical treatment, licensed mental health care, or emergency care.

For more detail about the nature and limits of the services offered, read the Full Disclaimer.

2. Website Use Does Not Create a Counseling Relationship

Reading this website, using its resources, sending a general inquiry, or contacting Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services LLC through the site does not by itself create a biblical counseling relationship with Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services LLC or Cody Shores.

A counseling relationship begins only after both sides agree to counseling and the required intake and informed-consent steps are complete.

3. Educational Material

Articles, examples, illustrations, and other resources on this website are meant to help readers better understand common habits of thought, fear, behavior, faith, and response.

Each individual and situation is different. Site content should not be treated as individualized guidance simply because an article sounds similar to your own experience.

No certain counseling, spiritual, emotional, relational, or other result is guaranteed.

4. Christian Framework

Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services offers distinctly Christian, Bible-based counseling and resources. Scripture gives the basic framework through which matters of life, suffering, wisdom, faith, hope, and change are considered.

Visitors do not need to share these beliefs in order to read the site, but should understand that counseling services and many resources are intentionally written from a Christian worldview.

5. Not Medical or Emergency Care

Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services LLC does not offer emergency services through this website.

Site content should not replace needed medical, emergency, or other licensed care.

If you believe that you or someone else is in immediate danger or facing an emergency, call 911 or contact emergency services in your area.

6. No Guarantee of Results

Individuals and situations differ, and no certain result from biblical counseling, reading site resources, or using ideas found on this website is guaranteed.

Examples and illustrations are used to explain ideas and are not a guarantee of what another individual will experience.

7. Ownership of Site Material

Unless noted otherwise, the original written content, articles, graphics, branding, and other original material on this website are owned by Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services LLC.

You may share links to articles and resources that are available on the site.

Short quotations may be used for ordinary educational, ministry, or discussion use when clear credit is given to Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services and the original material is not changed in a misleading way.

You may not copy, sell, republish, or distribute a large share of the site’s original material without written consent.

8. Outside Links and Resources

This website may refer or link to books, groups, research, websites, or other resources maintained by others.

A link or reference does not mean that Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services LLC agrees with every view, claim, or service offered by that outside source. Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services LLC does not control outside websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, data handling, or later changes.

9. Accuracy and Site Availability

Reasonable care is taken to offer accurate and useful information. Still, site content may change as resources are revised, new information becomes available, or the site changes.

Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services LLC does not guarantee that every site section will always be complete, current, error-free, or continuously available.

10. Lawful Use

You agree not to misuse this website, interfere with its operation or security, seek unauthorized access, use its content in an unlawful or deceptive way, or hold out Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services material as your own.

11. Limits on Liability

To the extent allowed by law, Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services LLC and those acting on its behalf are not responsible for losses or damages that arise solely from use of, inability to use, or reliance on general informational material found on this website.

Nothing in these Terms is meant to remove or limit any duty or responsibility that the law does not allow to be removed or limited.

12. Data and Information

Information sent through this website may be handled by Ozarks Biblical Counseling Services LLC and by outside services used for site hosting, scheduling, email, billing, or analytics.

For more detail about how site information is collected and handled, read the site’s Data and Information Notice.

These Terms of Use may be revised from time to time. The date at the top of this site shows when they were last revised. Continued use of the website after a revision means that you accept the revised Terms.
