Agreement to Terms
Welcome to Clarus Vitae. By accessing or using our platform at clarusvitae.com ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Platform.
Clarus Vitae provides wellness intelligence and research services. We are not a healthcare provider, and nothing on our platform constitutes medical advice. Our service helps you make informed decisions about wellness destinations—decisions you should always discuss with qualified healthcare professionals.
What We Provide
Wellness Intelligence
Independent research, analysis, and evaluation of wellness destinations worldwide using our proprietary Clarus Index methodology.
Research Tools
Search, filter, and compare properties based on your specific criteria, including treatments, diagnostics, and outcomes data.
Inquiry Facilitation
Secure transmission of your inquiries to properties you select. We facilitate the connection; properties handle all booking and transactions directly.
What We Don't Provide
Editorial Independence
Our assessments are independent. Properties cannot pay for inclusion, ranking, or favorable coverage. Our Clarus Index scores reflect our methodology, not commercial relationships. When we have partnerships with properties (for inquiry facilitation or affiliate arrangements), these are clearly disclosed and do not influence our editorial assessments.
