Terms & Conditions

Using this website

By using this website you agree to these terms. The content here is provided for general information. We try hard to keep it accurate and current, but we don't warrant that it is free of errors.

Not medical advice

Everything on this site, including articles, guides, programs and coaching, constitutes general fitness and nutrition information. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Jakob McDowell is a fitness coach, not a doctor, physiotherapist or accredited dietitian.

You should consult a qualified medical professional before starting any new exercise or nutrition program, particularly if you are pregnant, have an injury, have a chronic health condition, or take regular medication. If something hurts, stop and seek proper medical attention.

Assumption of risk

Physical exercise carries an inherent risk of injury. By following any program or advice from this site or from coaching, you accept that risk and take responsibility for training within your own limits. To the extent permitted by law, Jakob McDowell Coaching is not liable for any injury, loss or damage arising from your use of the information or services provided.

No guarantee of results

Results depend on your starting point, your consistency, your genetics, your sleep, your stress and a dozen other things outside anyone's control. Nothing on this site is a guarantee of any particular outcome, and any results described are illustrative rather than typical.

Coaching services

Submitting an application is an enquiry, not a purchase. Nothing is charged and no coaching relationship begins until we have spoken, you have received a written quote, and you have accepted it.

The specific terms of any coaching engagement, covering duration, price, payment schedule, cancellation and refunds, will be set out separately at the point you sign up, and those terms will govern that engagement.

Intellectual property

All content on this site, including training programs, articles and guides, remains the property of Jakob McDowell Coaching. You are welcome to use it for your own training. You may not resell, redistribute or republish it as your own.

Third-party links

This site links to external sites, including Instagram. We aren't responsible for the content or privacy practices of any site we link to.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Australia. Nothing in them excludes any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
