Terms of Use

1. About Areté

Areté provides personalised guidance and coaching in areas including performance, movement, nutrition, wellbeing and life design.

The Website introduces our approach, team and services and allows you to contact us regarding potential work with Areté.

Use of this Website does not, by itself, create a client, coaching, advisory or other professional relationship between you and Areté.

Any personalised services provided by Areté will be subject to a separate agreement or engagement terms describing the relevant scope, fees, duration and other conditions.

2. Website content

The information available on this Website is provided for general informational and educational purposes.

While we take reasonable care to keep our content useful and accurate, circumstances, research and professional practices evolve. We therefore do not guarantee that every piece of information on the Website will always be complete, current or suitable for your individual circumstances.

You should not make significant health, medical, nutritional, psychological or physical-training decisions solely on the basis of general information published on this Website.

3. Health and wellbeing information

Areté works across areas that may relate to health, physical performance, nutrition and personal development. However, content made publicly available through this Website is not a substitute for individual medical diagnosis, treatment or other regulated healthcare.

Nothing on the Website should be interpreted as emergency, medical, psychiatric or crisis support.

Where appropriate, you should seek advice from a suitably qualified healthcare professional before making decisions that may materially affect your health, particularly if you have an existing medical condition, injury, are pregnant, take medication or have other circumstances requiring individual medical assessment.

Any personalised recommendations provided as part of an Areté service will depend on the agreed scope of that service and the qualifications of the professional involved.

4. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise indicated, the Website and its contents — including the Areté name, visual identity, logos, text, photographs, graphics, layouts and other original materials — are owned by or licensed to Areté and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view and use the Website for your own personal and non-commercial purposes.

You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, modify, scrape, systematically extract or commercially exploit Website content without our prior written permission, except where applicable law expressly permits it.

Nothing in these Terms grants you any licence or right to use Areté's trademarks, branding or other intellectual property except as necessary to access and use the Website normally.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Website in a way that is unlawful, fraudulent or harmful to Areté, its users or its technical infrastructure.

You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website or its systems, interfere with its normal operation, introduce malicious software, circumvent security measures or use automated systems to extract substantial amounts of Website content without permission.

6. Third-party services and links

The Website may occasionally contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

These links are provided for convenience or reference only. Areté does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices or terms.

Your use of third-party websites is governed by the terms and policies of those third parties.

7. Availability and changes to the Website

We may update, improve, modify, suspend or remove parts of the Website from time to time.

We do not guarantee that the Website will always be available, uninterrupted or free from errors. Temporary interruptions may occur because of maintenance, technical issues, security measures or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Website is provided on an “as available” basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Areté makes no warranty that the Website will meet every user's particular requirements or that all Website content will be error-free, complete or continuously available.

Nothing in these Terms excludes any warranty, guarantee or other right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Areté will not be liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses arising solely from your use of, or inability to use, this Website.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer-protection law.

These limitations relate to use of the Website itself. Liability relating to personalised services provided by Areté may be governed by separate engagement terms.

10. Consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms is intended to restrict rights that you have under mandatory consumer-protection laws.

If you access Areté as a consumer in a jurisdiction whose mandatory laws provide protections that cannot contractually be waived, those protections continue to apply.

11. Governing law

Subject to any mandatory rights available to consumers under applicable law, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Where applicable consumer law gives you the right to rely on mandatory protections or bring proceedings in your country of residence, nothing in this section removes those rights.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the Website, our services or applicable legal requirements.

The current version will always be published on this page together with its latest revision date.

Your continued use of the Website after an updated version is published constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
