Disclaimer & Scope of Use

Rouse Relational OS™ Disclaimer & Scope of Use

1. NATURE OF THE FRAMEWORK
The Rouse Relational Operating System™ (Rouse OS™) is a structural diagnostic framework designed to analyze relational systems through the lens of pressure, capacity, and load. It is not a psychological, medical, or clinical diagnostic tool.

2. NOT MEDICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH ADVICE
This framework does not diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any medical or mental health condition. It is not a substitute for licensed medical, psychological, or psychiatric care. Participants and practitioners must not represent the framework as providing medical or therapeutic services.

3. EDUCATIONAL AND STRUCTURAL PURPOSE ONLY
The Rouse OS™ is intended solely for educational, coaching, and structural analysis purposes. It provides a model for understanding relational dynamics but does not replace professional judgment within licensed fields.

4. NO PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE GRANTED
Certification in the Rouse OS™ does not grant licensure in any regulated profession, including but not limited to psychology, counseling, or medicine. Practitioners are responsible for operating within their legal scope of practice.

5. USER RESPONSIBILITY
All users of the framework acknowledge that application of the system is at their own discretion and risk. Outcomes are dependent on individual circumstances, and no guarantees are made regarding results.

6. REFERRAL OBLIGATION
If a situation involves mental health conditions, medical concerns, or risk of harm, practitioners must refer individuals to appropriately licensed professionals.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Rouse OS Enterprises shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages arising from the use or misuse of this framework.

8. ACKNOWLEDGMENT
By using the Rouse OS™ framework or participating in certification, the individual acknowledges understanding of this disclaimer and agrees to its terms.

4. CLIENT SAFETY
Practitioners must prioritize psychological and relational safety. If a situation exceeds their scope, they must refer the client to appropriate licensed professionals.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY
All client information must be kept confidential. Case studies must be anonymized. Breaches may result in revocation of certification.

6. PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
Practitioners must conduct themselves with respect, reliability, and ethical behavior consistent with the Mortar principles of the framework.

7. MISUSE OF FRAMEWORK
The framework may not be modified, repackaged, or taught outside licensing permissions. Unauthorized use is grounds for termination.

8. CONTINUED COMPETENCY
Practitioners must maintain competency, renew certification annually, and stay aligned with updated standards.

9. VIOLATIONS
Violations of this Code may result in suspension or revocation of certification without refund.
10. COMMITMENT
Certification represents agreement to uphold the structural integrity of the system and apply it responsibly in all professional settings.

3. PURCHASES — WORKBOOK AND CERTIFICATION

of a new copy of the workbook. The following are not accepted for credit:

— Receipts from used book purchases

Credits are applied at the discretion of Rouse OS Enterprises upon
