Terms of use

Last updated 8 November 2026

Please read these terms before using Samepath. You must accept them to use the site. If you do not agree, do not use Samepath.

1. What Samepath is

Samepath is a free educational reference. It searches historical homeopathy books that are in the public domain, such as Kent's Repertory of the Homoeopathic Materia Medica (1897), and shows what those books record. It is a way to read old texts, nothing more.

2. Not medical or veterinary advice

Samepath does not give medical, veterinary, health, or any other professional advice. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition, and nothing on the site is a recommendation to take, give, stop, or avoid any remedy, medicine, or treatment. Rankings and matches are mechanical summaries of what the old books say; they may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong, and the books themselves reflect the beliefs of their time, not current medical knowledge. Homeopathy is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional.

Always ask a doctor or other qualified health professional about any symptom or health question. Never ignore professional advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you read on Samepath. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number now.

No doctor–patient, practitioner–client, or other professional relationship is created by using Samepath.

3. Animals

Samepath is not for treating animals. Some kits listed on the site are sold for pets, and that listing is not a recommendation. Do not use anything on Samepath to decide how to care for an animal without a veterinarian. If an animal is unwell, contact a vet.

4. Children, pregnancy and serious conditions

Do not use Samepath to make decisions about the care of a child, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for any serious, long-lasting, or worsening condition. Speak to a qualified professional.

5. You use Samepath at your own risk

You alone are responsible for any decision you make and any action you take, or do not take, after using Samepath, and for checking any information with a qualified professional. You use the site and anything you read on it entirely at your own risk, and you accept all risks that come from doing so.

6. No warranty

Samepath is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, reliability, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, title, and non-infringement. We do not promise that the site will be available, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any errors in the texts, their transcription, the matching, or the rankings will be corrected. The historical texts were scanned and transcribed by machine and may contain mistakes.

7. No liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, the people who make, run, and contribute to Samepath are not liable to you or anyone else for any loss, injury, illness, death, or damage of any kind, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive, arising from or connected with your use of, or inability to use, Samepath or any information on it, however it is caused and whatever the legal theory (contract, tort including negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), even if we were told such harm was possible. Where the law does not allow liability to be excluded entirely, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid to use Samepath, which is nothing.

Some places do not allow some of these exclusions or limits. In those places they apply as far as the law permits, and nothing in these terms limits any right you have that cannot lawfully be limited.

8. Indemnity

You agree to hold harmless the people who make, run, and contribute to Samepath from any claim, loss, or cost (including reasonable legal fees) that arises from your use of the site or your breach of these terms.

9. Remedy kits and other sites

Kit lists and photos are taken from their makers' public pages and may be out of date. Samepath is not connected with, paid by, or endorsing any maker or seller. Links to other sites are for convenience; we are not responsible for their content or practices.

10. Your data

Samepath runs entirely in your browser. What you type, and anything the site saves for you, stays on your device and is never sent to us. The only thing we keep is a record that you accepted these terms. See the privacy page.

11. Accepting these terms

You accept these terms by ticking the box and pressing "Agree and continue" after reading them. We keep a record of that acceptance (described on the privacy page) as evidence that you agreed, and you agree that this record may be used for that purpose. If you clear your browser's data or use another device, you will be asked to accept the terms again.

12. Changes

We may change these terms or the site at any time, or stop running it. The date at the top shows when the terms last changed. When they change, you will be asked to accept the new terms before using Samepath again.

13. General

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, that part is limited or removed as little as needed and the rest stays in effect. Not enforcing a part of these terms is not a waiver of it. These terms are the whole agreement between you and us about Samepath.
