Scientific concepts, research findings, and physiological principles described in our articles are not claimed as our intellectual property. Our intellectual property consists of the original expression, organization, and presentation of that information.

The Faroko name and logo are used to identify our educational publication. Unauthorized use of our name or logo in connection with other content, products, or services may constitute trademark infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Faroko, its operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Site or its content.

This includes, without limitation, damages arising from reliance on any information obtained through the Site, any errors or omissions in content, any interruption or cessation of service, or any unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data.

In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties or exclusion of certain types of damages, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, you agree to contact us in good faith at [email protected] to attempt to resolve any dispute informally. Most concerns can be addressed through direct communication.

If informal resolution is not achieved, any claims shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its then-current rules, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of information published on faroko.info and to reflect current understanding in the exercise physiology research literature. However, scientific understanding evolves, and we cannot guarantee that all content is current, complete, or free from error at any given time.

We reserve the right to modify, update, or remove any content on the Site at any time without notice. We are not obligated to update content to reflect new research findings, though we endeavor to do so when significant changes in scientific consensus occur.

We may modify these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on the Site with a revised "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage periodic review of these Terms.
