SmartLoving Fertility
By completing a purchase of SmartLoving Fertility, you agree and understand that SmartFertility will not protect against sexually transmitted diseases and that if used in the prescribed method will reduce or increase the possibility of pregnancy, depending on your intention, but in no way guarantees 100% effectiveness.
SmartFertility is a Fertility Management System and not FDA or TGA approved as a Contraceptive method or device, although it is based on the Sympto-Thermal method which is recognised as a method of birth regulation.
Conclusions regarding the reliability of monitoring basal body temperature and cervical fluid are based upon independent studies. Information about some of these studies can be viewed at https://smartloving.org/natural-method-effectiveness/ .
All information contained on this website is gathered from various resources. We do not accept liability for claims made by other material resources. The information on this site is not intended to replace professional medical advice.
While there may be information on this website related to certain medical conditions and their treatment, should a medical condition exist, please see your own physician or health provider. If you have health concerns, please consult with your doctor, or other qualified health professional before using any product discussed within this website.
As with other forms of birth control, we advise that if this product is used as a method for postponing pregnancy, then there is no 100% guarantee that you will not fall pregnant, or that an unintended pregnancy may still result. You accept this risk when using the product as a form of birth regulation.
No legal action can be brought against PMRC (Australia) Inc for an unintended pregnancy. No damages are able to be claimed by you, or your dependants, against us. PMRC (Australia) Inc excludes all liability as far as the law permits.
When used with the intention to conceive, SmartFertility cannot guarantee conception or a successful delivery. Neither can SmartFertility treat a condition that may be contributing to a couple’s subfertility.
SmartFertility does not and is not intended to be used to prevent or safe guard you against sexually transmitted diseases.
