Terms and Conditions

Peyote.com may accept a commission or affiliate payment from a retreat centre outside the United States on a booking that came through the Website, through a tracked link or a written referral agreement, at a rate agreed with that centre in writing. A centre that pays one is labelled "Peyote.com may earn a commission if you book" on its profile and in every list, and links to it are marked sponsored. The price you pay is set by the centre.

We use affiliate links: Peyote.com earns a commission from Rythmia Life Advancement Center on bookings made through them, and that never changes a centre's public record or the order of any list. Each one is marked "Affiliate link", and the disclosure page explains how they work.

• A commission never affects the order of any list, which reviews appear, or a centre's public record, safety notes, legal status or Verified checks.
• We take no commission on a booking paid for by a health insurer or health plan.
• Where we have a relationship with a centre, such as an affiliate application, a commission or a hosted visit, its profile says so.
• Our condition and addiction pages carry no commission links and promote no centre that pays one.
• We do not sell leads. We never sell or rent your personal data, and an enquiry goes only to the one centre you ask us to send it to.

We take no referral, per-lead, per-admission or per-patient payment from:

• US addiction and substance-use treatment providers, recovery residences and laboratories (18 U.S.C. 220 (EKRA); 18 U.S.C. 24(b), health care benefit program; Florida Patient Brokering Act, s. 817.505)
• Any US healthcare provider or clinic, including ketamine and Spravato (esketamine) clinics (42 U.S.C. 1320a-7b(b) (Anti-Kickback Statute); Texas Occupations Code 102.001; California Business and Professions Code 650)
• Clinical-trial sponsors and trial sites (AMA Code of Medical Ethics, Opinion 11.3.4)
• Oregon and Colorado state-licensed psilocybin service centres, healing centres and facilitators (OAR 333-333-1010(7) and (37), 333-333-4040(1) and (5) (Oregon); ORS 475A.280 (Oregon); 1 CCR 213-1, Rules 1025, 2120(A) and 2140(E) (Colorado); 4 CCR 755-1, Rules 6.20(E) and 6.21(E) (Colorado))

The reasons and links to each law are on the disclosure page.

A centre's profile has a public record section. It lists, with dates and sources, only:

• A death during a programme at the centre or while a guest was in its care.
• An action taken by a government regulator against the centre that is in force or was upheld.
• A criminal charge or conviction connected with the centre's work, and a court finding against the centre.
• A credible allegation published by an established news outlet within the last three years. We remove it three years after publication unless it has led to a charge, a regulator action or a court finding.

We do not list lawsuits that were dismissed without a ruling against the centre, regulator steps that failed or were withdrawn, or deaths that happened after a guest had left the centre's care. Any centre can publish a response next to an entry on its profile. The same rules apply to every centre, whether or not it pays for Featured placement, Verified checks or a commission.

Through /book you can ask up to 3 centres licensed by the State of Oregon or Colorado for dates and an all-in price, and choose one of the answers. Peyote.com is not a service centre, healing centre or facilitator: we pass your request on, show you the answers and introduce you to the centre you choose. The centre alone decides whether, when and how it provides services, under its state's rules.

• The booking service is free: there is no booking fee. If a fee is ever introduced, it will be shown as its own line before you pay, and never charged on a request made while the service was free.
• You pay the centre directly for its sessions and the psilocybin product, and any tax. Peyote.com never takes or holds that money.
• The booking fee is refunded in full if the centre cancels or declines after you confirm, and you are never charged it if no centre answers within 5 business days.
• If no centre answers within 5 business days we tell you. A centre's answer is its own offer, not ours, and may change when you speak to it; the centre must give you its written fees and terms before you pay it.
• Oregon and Colorado centres and facilitators pay Peyote.com no commission and no per-booking fee. The order of every list is never for sale, except the labelled flat-fee Featured placement.
• You must be 21 or older and must not include health information in your request. We never ask for it.

What we store and for how long is in the privacy policy.

A retreat centre can pay Peyote.com a flat fee of $295 a year, the same for every centre, for us to check its licences and registrations. The fee pays for the checks, not for any outcome.

• We make three kinds of check: a facility licence on an official register; a physician's registration on an official register (in Mexico, the SEP Registro Nacional de Profesionistas); and, where no public register exists, the document itself, which we say we saw but could not confirm with a register.
• Every check shown on a profile says what we saw, where, when, what the licence or registration covers and what it does not.
• Only checks that pass are shown. A failed check is not shown and no negative entry is made.
• Each check lapses 12 months after the date it was made and is removed from the site automatically. A check that is not renewed is simply no longer shown.
• The fee is charged whether or not a check passes, and it is not refunded when a check fails.
• Where we waive the fee for a centre, its profile says "Fee waived for this centre" instead of saying it paid.
• A check is not an inspection, an endorsement or a safety rating. Every profile still says we have not inspected the centre.
• Verified checks never change the order of any list, which reviews appear, or a centre's public record, safety notes or legal status, and a centre cannot buy a check result.
• Oregon and Colorado state licence register details shown on licensed centres' profiles stay free and are not part of this service.

How to request checks is on the Verified checks page.
