Terms of Use

Effective date: August 9, 2026  |  Last updated: August 9, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Tatem Media & Medicine, LLC (“Tatem Media,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of dralextatem.com and any related website, subdomain, newsletter, application, or digital property we operate (collectively, the “Site”).

⚠ Emergency Notice

IF YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, STOP READING AND CALL 911 OR CONTACT YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT USE THIS SITE TO COMMUNICATE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.

PLEASE READ SECTIONS 18 THROUGH 21 CAREFULLY. THEY LIMIT OUR LIABILITY, REQUIRE MOST DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION, AND WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR JURY TRIAL.

What these Terms cover, in plain language

This summary is for convenience only. The numbered sections below control.

  • The Site is educational. It is not medical advice, and using it does not make you a patient.
  • Some content discusses compounds that are not FDA approved. Nothing here tells you to obtain them.
  • You may read, share, and link to our content. You may not republish it commercially, scrape it, or use it to train AI systems.
  • You may not create or distribute AI-generated or otherwise fabricated content using Dr. Tatem's name, face, or voice. Section 10 sets specific financial consequences for doing so.
  • Most disputes go to individual arbitration in Indiana rather than to court.

1. Agreement to These Terms

By accessing or using the Site, subscribing to our newsletter, submitting a form, or downloading any material we make available, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Site.

We may present these Terms for affirmative acceptance at certain points, including newsletter signup. Your acceptance in that manner, or your continued use of the Site, constitutes agreement.

2. Eligibility

The Site is intended for adults aged 18 or older. By using the Site you represent that you are at least 18 and that your use complies with all laws applicable to you.

3. About the Site

The Site publishes educational content on men's health, hormone therapy, peptides, performance medicine, and related clinical and regulatory topics. It also provides information about Dr. Alex Tatem's surgical training program, speaking availability, and consulting work, and may offer merchandise, a newsletter, and downloadable educational material.

The Site is operated by Tatem Media & Medicine, LLC, an independent media company. It is not operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by any medical practice, hospital, health system, employer, or professional society with which Dr. Tatem is associated, and the content does not reflect the views or official policies of any such organization. The Site is not a channel for clinical care and is not a means of contacting Dr. Tatem's medical practice.

We make no representation that the Site is appropriate or available for use outside the United States. If you access it from elsewhere, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with your local law.

4. Not Medical Advice; No Physician-Patient Relationship

All content on the Site, including articles, videos, newsletters, guides, and downloadable material, is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute the practice of medicine and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It may not be appropriate or applicable to your individual circumstances.

Use of the Site does not create a physician-patient relationship between you and Dr. Tatem, Tatem Media & Medicine, LLC, or any of their personnel. Submitting a form, sending an email, subscribing to the newsletter, or commenting on content does not create such a relationship.

Nothing on the Site is a recommendation or endorsement of any specific test, procedure, product, medication, treatment, or healthcare provider for you. No content represents or warrants that any particular compound, device, procedure, or course of treatment is safe, appropriate, or effective for any individual. Any general statement about a compound or category of treatment is not specific to any person or condition.

Seek the advice of your own physician or qualified healthcare provider with any question regarding a medical condition or medication, and before making any change to your diet, training, supplementation, or treatment. Do not disregard or delay obtaining medical advice because of anything published here. Your reliance on any information on the Site is solely at your own risk.

5. Unapproved and Investigational Compounds

Content on the Site discusses drugs, compounds, and uses that are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, including substances that may not lawfully be compounded, dispensed, or sold for human use in the United States.

Discussion of any such substance is educational and descriptive. It is not an endorsement, a recommendation for use, a representation that any substance is safe or effective, or encouragement to obtain any substance from any source. This expressly includes vendors marketing products as research chemicals or as not intended for human consumption.

Statements regarding the regulatory status of any substance reflect our understanding as of the date of publication. Regulatory status changes. Do not rely on any statement on the Site as a current description of what is lawfully available to you.

6. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time. Revisions take effect when posted, and the “Last updated” date above will change. For material changes we will make reasonable efforts to provide additional notice, which may include email to subscribers or a notice on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after revisions take effect constitutes acceptance. Review these Terms periodically.

7. Limited License to Use the Site

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access the Site and to view, download, and print content for your own personal, non-commercial use. You must retain all copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices on any copy you make.

This license does not permit you to republish, redistribute, syndicate, sell, license, sublicense, aggregate, or commercially exploit any content, in whole or in part, or to create derivative works from it, without our prior written permission. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

Linking to, quoting briefly with attribution, and sharing our content on social media is permitted and encouraged.

8. Our Intellectual Property

The Site and its contents, including text, graphics, photographs, video, audio, design, layout, code, and compilations, are owned by or licensed to Tatem Media & Medicine, LLC and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Our names, logos, marks, and brand assets, including DR. ALEX TATEM and LAB RAT LEGION, and any associated taglines and designs, are trademarks or service marks of Tatem Media & Medicine, LLC, whether or not registered. You may not use them without our prior written consent, including in domain names, social media handles, metadata, keyword advertising, or in any manner likely to cause confusion or to suggest affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement.

9. User Submissions and Comments

You may be able to submit comments, questions, or other material to the Site or to our channels (“Submissions”).

You are solely responsible for your Submissions. You represent that you own or have all necessary rights to them, that they do not infringe or violate any third party's rights, and that they are not unlawful, defamatory, harassing, obscene, or otherwise objectionable. Do not submit protected health information, and do not submit clinical questions about your own condition. We cannot and do not provide individualized medical advice through the Site, and any Submission describing your medical situation will not receive clinical guidance.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable license to use, reproduce, display, distribute, and create derivative works from your Submissions in connection with operating and promoting the Site and our content, in any media. You retain ownership of your Submissions. We may edit, refuse to post, or remove any Submission at our discretion, and we have no obligation to monitor Submissions.

Submissions are not confidential. Any idea, suggestion, or feedback you send us may be used without compensation, attribution, or obligation of any kind.

10. Name, Image, Likeness, Voice, and Synthetic Media

This section addresses AI-generated impersonation and is a material term of these Terms.

10.1 Protected Identity. Dr. Alex Tatem's name, voice, signature, photograph, image, likeness, distinctive appearance, gestures, mannerisms, professional credentials, titles, and persona, together with any recognizable simulation of any of them, are collectively the “Protected Identity.” The Protected Identity is a valuable property interest protected under the Indiana Rights of Publicity Act, Indiana Code § 32-36-1 et seq., and under other applicable intellectual property, publicity, unfair competition, and consumer protection laws.

10.2 Prohibited uses. You may not, and may not authorize or enable any person or system to, reproduce, adapt, simulate, imitate, display, perform, publish, distribute, sell, or otherwise use the Protected Identity, or create any derivative work from it, without our prior express written consent. This prohibition applies without regard to the means used, and expressly includes content that is:

  • generated, synthesized, or altered by artificial intelligence, machine learning, or any generative model;
  • a digital replica, deepfake, face swap, voice clone, voice conversion, or synthetic audio or video performance;
  • assembled from clips, stills, or audio taken from Dr. Tatem's videos, podcasts, interviews, or public appearances;
  • otherwise fabricated, staged, or misattributed, whether produced by human or automated means.

The prohibition applies to any purpose, including advertising, promotion, endorsement, testimonial, solicitation, satire presented as authentic, and the sale or marketing of any product, service, or protocol.

10.3 No implied consent. The availability of Dr. Tatem's image, voice, or content on the Site or on any public platform does not constitute consent to any use described in Section 10.2. Consent must be express, in writing, and specific to the use.

10.4 Fabricated medical claims. Dr. Tatem is a licensed physician. Content that falsely attributes to him a clinical recommendation, dosing protocol, diagnosis, product endorsement, or safety claim is capable of causing physical harm to persons who rely on it, and additionally exposes him to professional licensure and regulatory consequences he has no ability to prevent or correct. You acknowledge that any such content causes harm that is immediate, ongoing, and not adequately remediable by monetary damages alone.

10.5 Liquidated damages. Any unauthorized use of the Protected Identity is a material breach of these Terms. For each separate instance of unauthorized use, you agree to pay Tatem Media & Medicine, LLC liquidated damages in the amount of $100,000.00. Each distinct item of content, each platform on which it is published, and each advertising placement in which it appears constitutes a separate instance.

The parties acknowledge that the harm caused by unauthorized use of the Protected Identity is real but inherently difficult to quantify, because it includes reputational injury, loss of audience trust, loss of existing and prospective commercial relationships, the cost of identifying and pursuing removal of the content across platforms, the cost of public correction, and potential harm to persons who rely on falsely attributed medical claims. The amount stated above is a reasonable estimate of that harm agreed upon in advance, is not a penalty, and reflects the parties' considered allocation of a risk that is difficult to measure after the fact.

10.6 Injunctive relief and cumulative remedies. We are entitled to seek temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief for any breach of this Section without the requirement to post a bond or to prove actual damages. Liquidated damages under Section 10.5 are in addition to, and not in place of, all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, including statutory damages, treble or punitive damages, attorney's fees, costs, and impoundment or destruction of infringing materials under the Indiana Rights of Publicity Act, and any remedy available under federal law.

10.7 Reporting. If you encounter content that appears to use Dr. Tatem's name, image, or voice without authorization, please report it to admin@dralextatem.com. Authentic content appears only on the Site and on the verified accounts listed in Section 25.

11. No AI Training, Text and Data Mining, or Automated Extraction

You may not use any content on the Site, and you may not permit any person or system acting on your behalf to use it, to develop, train, fine-tune, validate, benchmark, ground, or otherwise improve any artificial intelligence or machine learning model, including any large language model, generative audio or video model, voice model, or likeness model. This prohibition applies to commercial and non-commercial development alike.

You may not conduct text and data mining, scraping, crawling, harvesting, systematic downloading, or automated extraction of Site content except by a general-purpose search engine operating in compliance with our robots.txt file and other machine-readable directives for the sole purpose of indexing the Site for search results. We expressly reserve all rights in respect of text and data mining, and this Section constitutes an express reservation of those rights for purposes of any applicable law or regulation providing for machine-readable or contractual opt-out.

No license to any content on the Site, whether express or implied, extends to any use described in this Section. Retrieval, caching, or ingestion of Site content by any automated system constitutes acceptance of these Terms.

12. Prohibited Conduct

You may not:

  • use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
  • impersonate any person, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
  • circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security or access-control feature of the Site;
  • use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means to access the Site except as permitted in Section 11;
  • attempt to decompile, reverse engineer, or derive the source code of any part of the Site;
  • remove or obscure any proprietary notice;
  • interfere with or impose an unreasonable load on the Site or its supporting infrastructure;
  • collect or harvest email addresses or other contact information from the Site, including for the purpose of sending unsolicited communications;
  • use the Site or its content to compete with us or to build a competing product or service;
  • upload or transmit any virus, malicious code, or other harmful material;
  • harass, threaten, or abuse any of our personnel;
  • use the Site or any content on it in a manner that could reasonably be expected to cause harm to any person's health or safety.

13. Third-Party Sites and Content

The Site contains links to third-party websites and may display or reference third-party content. We do not control, investigate, monitor, or verify third-party sites or content, and we are not responsible for them. Inclusion of a link is not an endorsement.

Some third-party sites may describe uses of drugs, devices, or compounds that are not approved or cleared by the FDA. We do not endorse any such use. If you leave the Site, these Terms no longer govern and you should review the terms and privacy practices of the site you visit. Any transaction you enter into with a third party is solely between you and that party.

14. Newsletter and Electronic Communications

By subscribing, you consent to receive email from us, which may include educational content, updates, and promotional material, including sponsored content that will be identified as such. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email. Transactional messages relating to a purchase or request may continue after you unsubscribe.

You consent to transact with us electronically and agree that your electronic submissions constitute your agreement and intent to be bound.

15. Advertising, Sponsorship, and Disclosures

Some content on the Site and in our communications is sponsored or otherwise paid for by third parties. Sponsored content is identified as such within the content itself. Our financial relationships are disclosed at Disclaimers & Disclosures. No sponsor controls, approves, or reviews our independent editorial content.

16. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. By using the Site you consent to the practices described there.

17. Copyright Complaints

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a written notice containing the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to our designated agent:

Copyright Agent, Tatem Media & Medicine, LLC
8520 Allison Pointe Blvd, Ste 223 PMB 916442
Indianapolis, IN 46250-4299
admin@dralextatem.com

Your notice must include your signature, identification of the work claimed to be infringed, identification of the allegedly infringing material with enough specificity for us to locate it, your contact information, a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized, a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act for the copyright owner. Knowingly materially misrepresenting that material is infringing may expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). We may terminate access for repeat infringers.

18. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SITE IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY AS TO THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENCY, RELIABILITY, OR USEFULNESS OF ANY CONTENT, AND WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR ANY ERROR OR OMISSION. WE MAY MODIFY OR WITHDRAW ANY CONTENT AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

19. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER TATEM MEDIA & MEDICINE, LLC NOR ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR AGENTS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE OR ANY CONTENT, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

THESE LIMITATIONS ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN AND APPLY EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

20. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tatem Media & Medicine, LLC and its members, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, your Submissions, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right. We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate.

21. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

21.1 Informal resolution first. Before initiating arbitration or any court proceeding, you agree to notify us in writing at the address in Section 25, describe the dispute with reasonable detail, and allow sixty (60) days for good-faith informal resolution. We will do the same.

21.2 Binding individual arbitration. If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be seated in Marion County, Indiana, and may be conducted by videoconference, telephone, or on documents where the AAA rules permit. Whether a dispute is subject to arbitration is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court. The arbitrator will apply Indiana law and issue a written award.

21.3 Class action and jury trial waiver. Arbitration is limited to the dispute between you and us individually. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no arbitration may be consolidated or joined with any other, no dispute may proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, and no arbitrator has authority to award relief to anyone other than the individual party. If this provision is found unenforceable as to any claim, that claim will be severed and heard in court.

21.4 Exceptions. The following are not subject to Sections 21.2 and 21.3, and may be brought in the courts identified in Section 22: any claim to enforce, protect, or determine the validity of intellectual property or publicity rights, including any claim under Section 10 or Section 11; any claim of theft, piracy, unauthorized use, or invasion of privacy; any claim for injunctive or other equitable relief; and any claim within the jurisdiction of a small claims court.

21.5 Limitations period. Any claim relating to the Site or these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arose, or it is permanently barred, except where a longer period is required by law.

22. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. For any matter not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Marion County, Indiana, and waive any objection based on lack of personal jurisdiction or forum non conveniens. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act do not apply.

23. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. We may block IP addresses to protect the Site. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22, survive.

24. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any terms posted for a specific feature, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede all prior understandings on that subject. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remainder will remain in effect. Section headings are for convenience only. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them freely. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control. These Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of our having drafted them.

25. Contact and Notices

Notices to us must be in writing and sent to:
