Terms of Use & Disclaimer
By using Next Step Counseling, you agree to these terms. They explain what this site is, what it is not, and the limits of the information we provide.
How Next Step Counseling works
Next Step Counseling is a referral service that connects you with independent, licensed programs and providers. We do not ourselves deliver the counseling or classes, and the information on this site is not legal, medical, or professional advice. Using the site does not create an attorney–client or provider–patient relationship. For advice about your situation, consult a licensed attorney or qualified professional.
No guarantee of court acceptance
Whether any class or program satisfies your requirement is decided solely by your court, judge, or jurisdiction — not by us. Always confirm acceptance with the court, clerk, or your probation officer before you enroll or pay. We are not responsible for a program that a court declines to accept.
Affiliate disclosure
Some outbound links may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes our guidance to confirm acceptance first. See our editorial standards for how we keep our content independent.
External links
We link to third-party sites (including government and provider websites) for your convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices.
Limitation of liability
The site is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Next Step Counseling is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on its information.
Changes
We may update these terms; the “Last reviewed” date below reflects the current version. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
