1. Introduction and Agreement

Dr. Rusnak Academy (“Dr. Rusnak Academy,” “the Academy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website and provides paramedical training, credentialing, and certification programs, including its sister-brand online programs offered under Paramedical Artists Academy. By enrolling in a program or using our website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions in full. If you do not agree, please do not access our website or services.

Dr. Rusnak Academy operates independently but is under shared ownership with Healing Skin Medical Aesthetics LLC, AcuMedGroup LLC, and Dr. Rusnak Wellness LLC, which may share limited information under HIPAA-compliant and confidentiality protocols for scheduling, education, or program-related purposes.

• Continuing professional education

Disclaimer: All services are intended for professional educational purposes. Individual results vary, and no guarantee of outcome is made. Certification programs do not grant medical licensure and are for professional education only. The Academy’s credentials are professional certifications, not state licensure or authorization to practice; students are responsible for verifying and obtaining any state, local, or federal license, registration, or other authorization required to practice in their jurisdiction.

3. Student Eligibility and Responsibilities

Students must be 18 years or older. By enrolling, you confirm compliance with this requirement.

Students are responsible for providing accurate and complete information during the candidacy process and enrollment. Misrepresentation or omission releases Dr. Rusnak Academy from liability for outcomes, reactions, or program denial.

Students must follow all pre- and post-program instructions provided to optimize learning outcomes and clinical safety. Dr. Rusnak Academy is not liable for any outcomes resulting from non-compliance.

Media Consent: By enrolling in a program, students authorize the limited use of de-identified before-and-after photographs or videos taken during training for educational or marketing purposes unless written notice to opt out is provided.

4. Enrollment, Payments, and Cancellations

5. Educational and Professional Disclaimers

Dr. Rusnak Academy’s services are educational in nature and are not substitutes for state licensure or professional medical authorization. Training and certification programs are for professional education and credentialing purposes only. The Academy does not diagnose or treat medical conditions, and certification does not grant the right to practice medicine.

Students must disclose all medical conditions, allergies, and medications before participating in any hands-on training. Dr. Rusnak Academy is not responsible for adverse reactions due to undisclosed information or failure to follow pre/post-training instructions.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dr. Rusnak Academy, its owners, affiliates, instructors, and employees shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from services, training, or certification. Subjective dissatisfaction with results, certification outcomes, or business outcomes following training is not grounds for refund or liability.
