2. Information Accuracy & Reliance

Dr. Mike’s Fitness uses reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date scientific information. However, we make no warranties or representations regarding the absolute accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the content.

As a visitor or client, you agree that your reliance on any information found on this website or delivered through coaching protocols is at your own risk. Dr. Mike’s Fitness shall not be liable for any damages arising from your use of, or inability to access, the information contained herein.

3. External Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites for your convenience. Dr. Mike’s Fitness does not take responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites. Linking to another site does not imply endorsement, and Dr. Mike’s Fitness shall not be liable for any consequences arising from your transition to these external platforms.

4. No Professional-Client Relationship from General Site Use

Accessing the public information on this site, subscribing to the newsletter, or communicating generally via email does not create a coach-client or professional-client relationship. A formal professional-client relationship is strictly established only after a user selects a coaching program, completes the payment checkout via WooCommerce, signs an official coaching agreement, and successfully passes initial health screening clearance.

5. Waiver, Release, and Limitations of Liability

You agree that neither Dr. Mike’s Fitness nor its affiliates, agents, or consultants shall have any liability to you under any theory of liability or indemnity in connection with your use of the information or coaching services provided.

  • Waiver: You hereby release and forever waive any and all claims against Dr. Mike’s Fitness for injuries, losses, or damages sustained in connection with the application of any strength training protocols, endurance structures, nutritional insights, or lifestyle strategies shared on this website, via the newsletter, or through private client portals.

  • Damage Limits: If Dr. Mike’s Fitness is held liable notwithstanding the above waiver, the total liability for any claims, losses, or damages shall strictly not exceed the total dollar amount paid by you to Dr. Mike’s Fitness for the specific coaching service, information, or digital product in question.

By interacting with this site, purchasing a product, or subscribing to the newsletter, you agree to receive digital communications, system updates, and portal notifications from Dr. Mike’s Fitness. You may opt out of promotional emails at any time by using the “unsubscribe” link provided, though active clients will still receive system emails essential to their coaching portal delivery.

8. E-Commerce, Payments, and Client Portals

  • Billing and Processing: All transactions are processed via secure third-party payment gateways (such as Stripe). By purchasing a digital protocol or subscribing to a monthly coaching tier, you authorize Dr. Mike’s Fitness to charge your designated payment method.
  • Refund Policy: Due to the digital and instantly downloadable nature of training protocols, custom meal plan frameworks, and automated portal provisioning, all sales are final. Refunds are not issued for coaching blocks or digital products once template access is delivered.
  • Portal Termination: Active coaching clients receive dashboard access via our designated hosting portal (InChargeLife). Dr. Mike’s Fitness reserves the right to suspend or terminate portal access immediately if a client violates these terms, fails to settle invoices, or engages in abusive behavior.
