Medical Disclaimer

1. Not Medical Advice

Ritual does not provide medical advice of any kind. All information, calculations, estimates, scores, health metrics, training recommendations, recovery suggestions, and any other outputs generated by the application are provided strictly for educational and general informational purposes. Nothing within Ritual is intended to, and nothing should be construed to, diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease, medical condition, injury, or health disorder.

2. Estimates and Statistical Calculations

Ritual's calculators, health scores, and analytical tools - including but not limited to VO2 Max estimation, biological age, body fat percentage, TDEE, BMR, lean body mass, hydration needs, heart rate zones, one-rep max, Wilks Score, and the composite Health Score - are based on population-level statistical formulas and general reference ranges derived from publicly available research and health organisation guidelines.

These results are statistical estimates only. They:

• Are not precise clinical measurements or medical assessments
• May differ materially from results obtained through clinical testing or professional evaluation
• Do not account for your individual medical history, genetics, medications, clinical conditions, or physiological variation
• Should not be used as the basis for any health, nutrition, or medical decision
• May carry a margin of error and should be interpreted as approximate indicators only

3. Exercise and Physical Activity Risk

Physical exercise and athletic training carry an inherent risk of injury, including but not limited to musculoskeletal injury, cardiovascular events, and exacerbation of pre-existing conditions. Ritual's training plans, workout recommendations, recovery protocols, and activity suggestions are generalised outputs and do not account for your individual physical condition, fitness level, injury history, or medical status.

Before beginning, modifying, or increasing any exercise programme - particularly if you have or suspect you have any cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, metabolic, or other health condition - you should consult a qualified medical professional or licensed exercise physiologist. This applies to all content within Ritual including strength training plans, cardio sessions, breathwork protocols, foam rolling, stretching, and step targets.

4. Consult a Qualified Healthcare Professional

Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional - such as a licensed physician, registered dietitian, physiotherapist, or other licensed medical provider - before making any decision related to your health, fitness, nutrition, supplementation, recovery, or training. This is especially important if you:

• Have a known or suspected medical condition or injury
• Are pregnant, postpartum, or planning a pregnancy
• Are under the age of 18
• Are taking prescription medication
• Have not exercised regularly or are returning after an extended break
• Experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or other symptoms during or after exercise

Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it on the basis of information provided by Ritual.

5. Nutrition and Hydration

Ritual's hydration tracking, TDEE calculations, calorie burn estimates, and any nutritional guidance are general informational outputs only. They are not personalised dietary advice and should not be used to manage, treat, or influence clinical nutritional conditions including but not limited to eating disorders, diabetes, kidney disease, or any condition where nutritional intake is medically significant. Consult a registered dietitian or your physician for personalised dietary guidance.

6. Mental Health and Wellbeing

Ritual's gamification systems, streaks, goal-setting, and performance tracking are designed to support positive engagement with physical activity. They are not clinical tools and are not intended to treat, diagnose, or manage any mental health condition. If you experience distress, compulsive behaviour, or negative psychological effects in connection with exercise or fitness tracking, seek support from a qualified mental health professional.

7. No Emergency Use

Ritual is not designed, intended, or suitable for use in any medical emergency. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, stop using the application immediately and contact your local emergency services.

8. Accuracy and Completeness

While Ritual's tools reference established frameworks from organisations including the World Health Organisation (WHO), American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and peer-reviewed exercise science literature, Kove makes no representation or warranty - express or implied - as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, or fitness for any particular purpose of any information provided by the application.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Kove, its officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive loss or damage arising from your use of or reliance on Ritual, including but not limited to physical injury, health deterioration, loss of data, or any other harm resulting from decisions made in reliance on information provided by the application.
