Disclaimer
Effective: March 19, 2026 · Last updated: March 19, 2026
AXON.fm is a general wellness audio product. It is not a medical device, drug, therapeutic device, or diagnostic tool. Our products have not been evaluated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any equivalent regulatory authority worldwide.
1. General Wellness Disclaimer
AXON.fm products are intended for general wellness purposes only. They are designed to support relaxation, focus, sleep quality, and general cognitive wellness through audio stimulation. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease, disorder, or medical condition, including but not limited to Alzheimer's disease, dementia, ADHD, insomnia, anxiety disorders, depression, epilepsy, or any neurological or psychiatric condition.
2. No Medical Claims
Nothing on the AXON.fm website, in our marketing materials, in our audio products, or communicated by our team constitutes medical advice, a medical claim, or a recommendation to treat any health condition. Any statements about cognitive function, sleep, focus, or memory on this site describe general wellness goals, not therapeutic outcomes.
When we describe research findings on our Science page, we are summarizing published studies conducted by independent researchers. Citation of a study does not mean our products replicate the conditions, protocols, or results of that study. The research we reference was typically conducted under controlled laboratory conditions that differ from consumer audio use.
3. Specific Medical Warnings
Do NOT use AXON.fm products if you have epilepsy, a seizure disorder, or a history of auditory-triggered or photosensitive seizures without first consulting your physician. Auditory stimulation at specific frequencies, including 40Hz gamma frequencies, binaural beats, and isochronic tones, may pose a risk for individuals with these conditions.
Consult a qualified healthcare provider before using AXON.fm if you:
- Have epilepsy or any seizure disorder
- Have a neurological condition (including but not limited to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis)
- Have a psychiatric condition (including but not limited to anxiety disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder)
- Use a cardiac pacemaker, cochlear implant, or other implanted medical device
- Are pregnant or nursing
- Are taking medications that affect neurological function
- Are under 18 years of age
- Have a history of adverse reactions to auditory stimulation
If you experience headaches, dizziness, nausea, disorientation, anxiety, or any discomfort while using AXON.fm, stop immediately and consult a healthcare professional.
4. Safe Listening Practices
- Do not use AXON.fm while driving, operating heavy machinery, or performing any activity that requires full alertness
- Do not listen at excessive volumes. Prolonged exposure to high-volume audio can cause hearing damage
- Binaural beat protocols require stereo headphones. Some spatial audio protocols are designed for speaker playback. Follow protocol-specific guidance.
- Sleep protocols should only be used while in a safe resting environment
5. Research Disclaimer
AXON.fm references peer-reviewed scientific literature to inform the design of our audio protocols. This is done transparently and in good faith. However:
- We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any research institution, university, or researcher cited on our site (including MIT, Northwestern University, or any other institution) unless explicitly stated
- The research we cite was conducted independently. Results from those studies may not generalize to commercial audio products, including ours
- Scientific understanding evolves. The research landscape may change, and findings may be revised, qualified, or contradicted by future studies
- Where we describe evidence as "emerging," "preliminary," or "promising," we mean exactly that — it is not conclusive
- Statements like "designed to support," "informed by research," and "built around" describe our design process, not guaranteed outcomes
6. Individual Results
Individual experiences with AXON.fm products will vary. Cognitive audio is not a one-size-fits-all intervention. Factors including age, neurological health, listening environment, headphone quality, consistency of use, and individual neurology all affect outcomes. We make no guarantees about the specific results any user will experience.
7. FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on health-related claims, AXON.fm does not make claims that our products produce specific health benefits unless those claims are supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence. Where we describe the potential effects of our protocols, we use qualifying language (e.g., "designed to support," "may help," "informed by") to accurately represent the current state of evidence.
8. Testimonials and User Experiences
Any user testimonials, reviews, or experience reports displayed on AXON.fm represent individual experiences and are not intended to imply that all users will have the same results. Testimonials are not a substitute for professional medical advice.
9. No Professional Relationship
Use of AXON.fm does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or any professional healthcare relationship between you and AXON.fm. We are an audio technology company, not a healthcare provider.
10. External Links
Our site contains links to external research papers, DOIs, and third-party resources. These links are provided for reference and verification purposes. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of external sites.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, AXON.fm and its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any damages, injuries, or adverse effects arising from the use of our products. This includes, without limitation, any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. See our full Terms of Service for additional details.
12. Changes
We may update this Disclaimer at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
