2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATFORM
2.1 What HNN Is
HNN is a premium discovery ecosystem and brand-licensing platform that connects audiences with the world’s leading independent health experts. Through HNN’s invite-only ecosystem, qualified doctors, practitioners, researchers, and wellness leaders own and operate branded streaming channels across Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, iOS, Android, and connected TV ecosystems.
HNN organizes its content and services around three pillars:
Media — channels broadcast, audiences subscribe, premium distribution environment
Education — expert knowledge made discoverable for audiences seeking real expertise
Entertainment — long-form, episodic, premium-quality content
2.2 What HNN Is Not
HNN is not, and does not represent itself as, any of the following:
A medical authority, healthcare provider, medical board, licensing body, or clinical service
A certified, accredited, or credentialing medical organization
A publisher with editorial control over Channel Owner content
A vetting authority for the medical accuracy of any content
A franchise system, investment opportunity, securities offering, or business opportunity
A guarantor of monetization, audience size, revenue, growth, or any business outcome
An anti-government, anti-FDA, anti-CDC, or anti-establishment network
A factcheck authority or medical truth platform
A provider of medical, legal, financial, or professional advice of any kind
2.3 Channel Owner Independence
Content on the HNN Platform is created, produced, published, and controlled by independent Channel Owners. Channel Owners are independent operators — not employees, agents, partners, franchisees, or representatives of HNN. The relationship between HNN and Channel Owners is governed by the Master Channel Owner Agreement, which is a separate contract not incorporated into these Terms.
3. AGE REQUIREMENT AND ELIGIBILITY
3.1 Age Eighteen or Older Required

3.2 Children’s Privacy
The HNN Platform is not directed to children under thirteen (13) years of age, and HNN does not knowingly collect personal information from any individual under eighteen (18) years of age. If HNN becomes aware that an individual under eighteen has provided personal information through the HNN Platform, HNN will take reasonable steps to delete the information.

HNN maintains an audit record of each User’s acceptance of these Terms, including the version of the documents accepted, the timestamp of acceptance, the device and approximate location of acceptance, and the affirmative confirmation of each required acknowledgment.
