Terms of use
These terms explain what SlimBee is, what it is not, and how you may use the site. They are written for UK readers and prioritise clarity over jargon.
Quick answer
These terms explain what SlimBee is, what it is not, and how you may use the site. They are written for UK readers and prioritise clarity over jargon.
Who we are
SlimBee publishes independent information for adults in the United Kingdom who are researching weight-management options, including medicines that may be prescribed under specialist pathways. SlimBee is not a pharmacy, clinic, prescribing service, insurer, or law firm. Nothing on this website creates a clinician–patient relationship, a contract to supply medicines, or a duty of care beyond what UK law implies for operators of informational websites.
Acceptable use
You agree to use SlimBee in a lawful way. You must not attempt to disrupt the site, scrape it in a way that degrades service for others, probe for vulnerabilities without permission, or misrepresent SlimBee as an official NHS, MHRA, NICE, or government service. You must not upload malware, attempt credential stuffing, or harvest personal data from any part of the site that is not clearly intended for publication.
Information, not personalised advice
Articles may summarise public sources such as NHS pages, NICE guidance summaries, MHRA product information, and peer-reviewed literature where helpful. Summaries can become outdated quickly because NHS access policies, stock, and clinical practice evolve. Averages from trials describe groups, not your individual risks and benefits. Always follow the advice of a qualified professional who has assessed you directly. If you think you may be having a medical emergency, call 999. If you need urgent but non-emergency advice, use NHS 111 online or phone 111 as appropriate for your situation.
Prices, listings, and third-party sites
Where SlimBee mentions prices, voucher codes, or provider models, treat the figures as orientation only. Final costs depend on consultation fees, delivery, dose, stock, VAT treatment, and policy changes. SlimBee does not guarantee that any third-party offer is available, lawful for your circumstances, or medically appropriate. When you leave SlimBee for another site, you are subject to that site’s terms and privacy policy.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, SlimBee owns or licenses the editorial selection, layout, branding, and original text on this site. You may quote short excerpts with attribution for non-commercial commentary. You may not copy entire articles into competing commercial properties, train generative models on our content without permission, or remove disclaimers when republishing excerpts.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SlimBee excludes liability for loss or damage arising from reliance on site content, temporary unavailability, or links to third-party resources. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions; in those cases our liability is limited to the minimum permitted. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence where such exclusion is unlawful.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms to reflect changes in law, site features, or editorial policy. Material changes will be reflected by updating this page and, where practical, noting the latest review date in the page footer or adjacent legal index. For corrections or legal notices related to these terms, use the contact routes described on our contact page.
Jurisdiction and interpretation
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales unless a different mandatory jurisdiction applies to you as a consumer. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. Headings are for convenience only and do not change meaning. Where SlimBee links to NHS or regulator guidance, the authoritative wording remains on the official site; SlimBee may paraphrase for readability but you should verify critical details at source.
No waiver
If SlimBee does not enforce a right immediately, that does not waive the right to enforce it later. Any waiver must be explicit and in writing where required by law.
Third-party rights
Unless expressly stated, these terms do not create enforceable rights for third parties under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 except where such exclusion is not permitted.
Editorial independence
SlimBee is an independent UK information site. We are not a pharmacy, clinic, prescriber or regulator. Nothing here replaces personalised medical advice, emergency care, or your prescriber's instructions.
