Terms of Service

1. About these Terms

"We", "our", and "the Organization" refer to Athlete Longevity Organization and its operating affiliates. "You" and "your" refer to the individual or entity accessing the site. These Terms are a binding agreement; they do not limit any rights you have under mandatory consumer law in your jurisdiction.

2. Use of the website and content

The site and its content — articles, frameworks, diagrams, biomarker tables, and other materials — are made available for personal, professional, and educational use. You may read, share, and reference our content, with appropriate attribution, for non-commercial purposes.

You may not, without our prior written permission:

• Republish substantial portions of our content elsewhere
• Use our content to train commercial machine-learning systems
• Scrape the site programmatically beyond normal browsing patterns
• Use our name, logo, or research as endorsement for commercial products
• Misrepresent or alter our content in any way that distorts its meaning

3. Editorial standards and research positioning

Our editorial content meets the standards set out in our Editorial Standards page — minimum 2,000 words per article, peer-reviewed citations, actionable conclusions, and transparent corrections. We commit to those standards; we hold our writers and reviewers to them.

Our research positioning is evidence-first. Where we offer views beyond consensus, we say so explicitly. Where the field is unsettled, we present multiple positions. Where we make a claim, we cite.

4. Not medical advice

The information on this site is published for research, educational, and informational purposes. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for the judgement of a qualified clinician or sports physician who knows the athlete personally. Decisions about training, supplementation, biomarkers, or medical care should be made in consultation with appropriate professionals.

The Organization, its writers, and its affiliates accept no liability for actions taken solely on the basis of our published materials.

5. Newsletter and communications

When you subscribe to our newsletter, you consent to receive periodic communications from us. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, or by writing to our contact form. We do not transfer subscriber lists to third parties.

6. Consulting and partnerships

Consulting work, federation engagements, and institutional partnerships are governed by their own written agreements. Nothing on this site constitutes a binding offer of services; engagement requires a separate executed agreement.

7. Intellectual property

All trademarks, logos, frameworks, and editorial content on this site are the property of the Organization or used under license. The "HALLMARKS OF ATHLETIC AGING™" framework, the "PLAYBOOKS™" structure, and other named methodologies are protected works. Use of these names or frameworks in commercial materials requires our prior written consent.

8. Third-party content and links

Where we link to peer-reviewed papers, public databases, or external commentary, we do so to support research transparency. We do not control the content of third-party sites and are not responsible for it. Linking to a source does not imply endorsement of its position.

9. Disclaimers

The site and content are provided "as is" and "as available". We make reasonable efforts to keep our materials accurate and up to date, but science evolves. We make no warranties — express or implied — beyond those required by applicable law.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Organization shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of the site or its content. Our aggregate liability for direct damages is limited to amounts you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the relevant claim, where applicable.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the Organization harmless from claims, losses, and liabilities arising out of your misuse of the site, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party right.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Switzerland, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Zurich, subject to any mandatory consumer-protection forum in your jurisdiction. The parties may agree, in writing, to alternative dispute resolution.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms periodically. The Effective date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Contact
