Liability and Risk Disclaimer
Version: 1.0 — April 9, 2026
This document explains the nature of the Rutinize platform, the origin of your training program, the inherent risks of physical exercise and the limits of Rutinize’s liability to you as a client.
It is not a service contract with your trainer and is not a medical document. It should be read together with the Personal Data Processing Consent.
1. Rutinize is a technology platform, not a training professional
Rutinize is management software operated by Arian Roque ([email protected]) that your trainer uses to organize their work, design programs, track your progression and communicate with you.
The platform is not a trainer, a doctor, a physiotherapist or any other health or fitness professional. Rutinize does not evaluate your health status, does not design or approve your programs, does not provide medical recommendations, does not verify your trainer’s qualifications and does not have access to your clinical history beyond what you or your trainer enter into the platform.
2. Your training program comes from your trainer
All content in your program — exercises, loads, sets, reps, frequency, intensity, progression — has been created, configured or validated by your trainer, who is solely responsible for:
- Assessing whether the program is appropriate for your age, level and physical condition.
- Reviewing your injury history before assigning any exercise or load.
- Monitoring your progress and adjusting the program when necessary.
If you have questions about any exercise or load, speak directly with your trainer.
3. The Progression Engine: what it is and what it is not
The platform includes a Progressive Overload Engine that automates the evolution of your routine:
- Your trainer configured its behavior. Each increment and exercise change was defined by them. The Engine does not decide on its own.
- The Engine does not know your real-time status. It only processes objective data from the sessions you log (reps, weights, times).
- Your trainer receives configurable notifications and can review and revert any adjustment before your next session.
- If your situation changes — injury, illness, extended break — let your trainer know.
Rutinize is not liable for adjustments the Engine applies, as these derive from the configuration set by your trainer.
4. Inherent risks of physical exercise
Physical exercise, even when well planned, involves inherent risks:
- Muscle fatigue, soreness and transient discomfort.
- Muscle, tendon, ligament or joint injuries.
- Aggravation of prior injuries or pre-existing conditions.
- Dizziness, nausea, hypoglycemia or other adverse physiological responses.
- In extreme and exceptional cases, cardiovascular events or other serious complications.
If you suffer an injury or concerning symptoms during or after a session, stop exercising immediately, contact your trainer and seek medical attention.
5. Recommendation for prior medical evaluation
We recommend consulting a doctor before starting the program if you:
- Have cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic or other chronic conditions.
- Have suffered recent or recurring musculoskeletal injuries.
- Are pregnant or in the postpartum recovery period.
- Have been physically inactive for an extended period.
- Are taking medication that may affect your response to exercise.
6. Your trainer’s liability to you
Your trainer assumes the professional responsibility arising from the design and supervision of your program. The terms of their service are governed by the agreement you have established with them, not by this document.
7. Limitation of Rutinize’s liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Rutinize shall not be liable for:
- Injuries, physical harm or medical consequences arising from your trainer’s programs.
- Positive or negative training outcomes.
- Progression Engine adjustments derived from the trainer’s configuration.
- Your trainer’s decisions based on data available in the platform.
- Incorrect information entered by you or your trainer and its consequences.
- Service interruptions not directly attributable to the Provider.
This limitation does not apply where prohibited by law (Rutinize’s willful misconduct or gross negligence) or where consumer protection laws establish non-waivable rights.
8. Governing law
This Disclaimer is interpreted in accordance with the law applicable in your jurisdiction. Non-waivable rights recognized by the law of your country prevail over any conflicting provision of this Disclaimer.
