Legal
Terms of Service
The short version. Use the site sensibly. The training and nutrition information here is education, not medical advice — talk to a doctor before you start anything. The content and branding belong to us. Nothing on this site is a guarantee of a particular result.
01Agreement
These terms are between you and Daru Strong ("we", "us", "our"), and they govern your use of phildaru.com and darustrong.com (the "site"). By using the site you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.
02Health and fitness disclaimer
This is the most important section on the page, so it is near the top.
Everything on this site is provided for general information and education only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it is not a substitute for the judgement of a qualified healthcare professional.
- Speak to a doctor first. Consult a physician before beginning any exercise programme, changing your training, altering your diet, or taking any supplement — particularly if you are pregnant, have an existing injury or medical condition, or are taking medication.
- Training carries risk. Strength and conditioning, combat sports and high-intensity exercise carry an inherent risk of injury. You take that risk on yourself.
- Stop if something is wrong. If you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath or any other symptom, stop immediately and seek medical attention.
- General, not personal. Content here is written for a general audience. It has not been written for your body, your history or your situation.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any injury, loss or damage arising from your use of information on this site.
03No guarantee of results
Athlete results, testimonials and case studies shown on this site are examples of what individual people achieved in their own circumstances. They are not a promise, and they are not typical. Results depend on your genetics, training history, consistency, sleep, nutrition, coaching, injury status and a great deal of work. Nothing here should be read as a guarantee that you will achieve any particular outcome.
04Using the site
You may use the site for your own lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:
- Copy, republish, resell or redistribute our content without written permission.
- Scrape, crawl or harvest the site or its data by automated means, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of it.
- Interfere with the site's operation, security or availability.
- Submit anything false, misleading, abusive or unlawful through our forms.
- Use our name, logos or brand in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation we have not given.
We may suspend or refuse access to anyone who breaches these terms.
05Intellectual property
All content on this site — text, photography, video, graphics, programming, training material, the Daru Strong name, logos and marks — is owned by us or used under licence, and is protected by copyright and trade mark law.
Athlete photographs and quotations remain the property and likeness of the individuals shown and are used with permission. Nothing on this site grants you any right to use them.
You may share links to our pages freely. You may not reproduce substantial portions of the content elsewhere without our written consent.
06Enquiries, bookings and purchases
Submitting a speaking enquiry or a consultation request is not a booking and does not create a contract. It is a request. Any engagement is confirmed only in a separate written agreement covering scope, dates, fees and terms.
Where the site links you to a third party to buy a product, join a community or schedule a call, that transaction is governed by that provider's own terms, not these.
07Newsletter
If you subscribe, you consent to receive emails from us about training, products, books and events. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and it works immediately. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your details.
08Third-party links
This site links to third-party services and websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, their products or their privacy practices, and a link is not an endorsement of everything that party does.
09Availability
We aim to keep the site available and accurate, but we provide it "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any content is complete or current. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the site at any time.
10Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profit, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the site.
Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us, if anything, in the twelve months before the claim arose.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.
11Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against any claim, loss or expense arising from your breach of these terms or your misuse of the site.
12Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules. The courts of Florida have exclusive jurisdiction, except where the law of your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings locally.
13Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
