Terms of service
How you may use this site
The short version: this site is free to read, our content is general information rather than personalized advice, and using the site means you agree to these terms.
1. Agreement to terms
By accessing or using laokfitness.com, you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
2. About the site
LaokFitness publishes educational content about fitness, training, recovery, nutrition, and fitness equipment. Content is provided free of charge for general information.
3. General information, not professional advice
All content is general educational information, not medical, health, legal, financial, or other professional advice, and is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified professional. Read our Fitness & Medical Disclaimer for more detail. Before starting or changing any exercise, diet, or recovery program — especially if you have a medical condition, an injury, are pregnant, or take medication — consult an appropriate healthcare professional.
4. Acceptable use
You agree to use the site lawfully and not to:
- Use the site in a way that violates applicable law or the rights of others.
- Scrape, harvest, or systematically collect content or data without permission.
- Impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation with us.
- Interfere with the site’s security, availability, or performance.
- Post spam, unlawful content, or content that infringes someone else’s rights.
5. User contributions
If you comment on the site, you are responsible for your contribution. You must not post content that is unlawful, defamatory, misleading, or infringing. By posting, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and use your contribution on the site. We may remove or edit contributions at our discretion.
6. Affiliate links and commercial relationships
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not affect the price you pay and are disclosed on pages where they appear, in line with our Affiliate Disclosure. Product prices, availability, and specifications change frequently — verify details with the retailer before purchasing.
7. Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the text, graphics, logos, and other content on this site are owned by or licensed to LaokFitness and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may view and share content for personal, non-commercial purposes with attribution. You may not republish or use content commercially without our written permission.
8. Third-party links
The site may link to third-party websites. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, practices, or policies. Following a link is at your own risk.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee that content is error-free or that the site will be available without interruption.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, LaokFitness and its operators are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless LaokFitness and its operators from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the site, your contributions, or your breach of these terms.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the site operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Where mandatory consumer protection law applies, it prevails over these terms.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The “last updated” date reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
