Medical & Physical Activity Disclaimer

Effective Date: June 29, 2026

This Medical & Physical Activity Disclaimer applies to the Virtual Coach website, mobile applications, AI-assisted analysis features, training suggestions, drill content, progress tracking, early access programs, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). It supplements our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If there is any conflict between this Disclaimer and other safety-related language in the Service, the more protective safety instruction should guide your conduct.

Virtual Coach provides training suggestions based on AI analysis and basketball training content. The Service is designed to support general athletic training decisions, not to evaluate your health, diagnose injuries, prescribe treatment, clear you for exercise, or replace professional judgment.

1. Not a Substitute for Professional Medical Advice

Virtual Coach provides basketball training support, drill content, progress tracking, and AI-assisted coaching feedback. The Service does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, physical therapy, rehabilitation, emergency services, or professional healthcare guidance.

Information from the Service, including AI analysis, drills, scores, reports, recommendations, summaries, training plans, videos, prompts, notifications, or other content, is for general basketball training and informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a physician, physical therapist, athletic trainer, or other qualified healthcare professional.

Do not ignore, delay, or avoid seeking professional medical advice because of something you see in the Service. If a healthcare professional gives you instructions that differ from Virtual Coach content, follow the healthcare professional's guidance.

2. Consult a Physician Before Training

Always consult a physician or other qualified healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program, substantially changing your training intensity, returning to activity after illness or injury, or using the Service if you have any medical condition, limitation, or concern.

This is especially important if you have or may have a heart condition, respiratory condition, neurological condition, joint or bone condition, history of concussion, fainting, dizziness, chest pain, heat illness, severe allergies, chronic illness, recent surgery, pregnancy, or any other condition that could affect safe participation in physical activity.

You are responsible for confirming that each activity is appropriate for your current health, conditioning, and environment before beginning. The Service cannot know everything about your medical history, current symptoms, fatigue, medications, recovery status, equipment, court surface, weather, or supervision.

3. Medical Emergencies and Warning Signs

Do not use the Service for a medical emergency. If you or another person may be experiencing an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.

Stop training immediately and seek appropriate medical help if an activity causes chest pain, difficulty breathing, fainting, loss of consciousness, severe dizziness, head injury symptoms, severe pain, sudden weakness, suspected fracture, heat illness, unusual heart symptoms, confusion, vomiting after impact, numbness, loss of coordination, or any other serious or concerning symptom.

If you are unsure whether a symptom is serious, err on the side of caution and contact a qualified healthcare professional or emergency service. Virtual Coach cannot monitor your body, assess acute symptoms, or determine whether it is safe for you to continue.

4. Physical Activity Risks

Basketball training can involve running, jumping, cutting, stopping, ball handling, changes of direction, repetitive movement, and physical exertion. These activities can cause injury, aggravate an existing condition, or be unsafe in some environments.

Before using the Service or beginning a training activity, consider the player's age, fitness level, health history, current symptoms, training surface, footwear, equipment, weather, space, supervision, and any medical limitations. Stop any activity that causes pain, dizziness, unsafe fatigue, shortness of breath, or other concerning symptoms.

Potential risks include sprains, strains, bruises, cuts, falls, collisions, overuse injuries, dehydration, heat illness, concussion, aggravation of prior injuries, equipment-related injuries, and other harms that may occur during athletic activity. Some risks may be increased by fatigue, improper form, inadequate warmup, poor footwear, unsafe surfaces, lack of supervision, or training beyond your current ability.

5. Assumption of Risk

By accessing or using the Service, following a training suggestion, performing a drill, recording a video, uploading content for analysis, or allowing a child or teen to participate, you acknowledge that physical activity involves inherent and unpredictable risks.

You participate in all physical activities at your own risk. You are responsible for deciding whether to begin, continue, modify, pause, or stop any activity. You are also responsible for using safe equipment, choosing an appropriate training space, warming up, resting when needed, maintaining hydration, and avoiding conditions that make training unsafe.

Virtual Coach content should be treated as optional training information. You are not required to perform any activity suggested by the Service. If any drill, recommendation, score, or prompt feels unsafe, inappropriate, painful, confusing, or beyond your current ability, do not perform it.

6. AI Training Suggestions and Analysis Limits

Virtual Coach may use AI-assisted systems to analyze basketball videos, identify possible movement patterns, generate scores, provide training suggestions, and recommend drills or focus areas. AI-generated output can be helpful, but it is limited.

AI analysis may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, inconsistent, or unsuitable for a particular athlete. AI systems may not detect pain, injury risk, fatigue, unsafe form, medical history, equipment limitations, court conditions, camera angle issues, poor lighting, age-specific needs, coaching context, or other factors a qualified professional would consider.

You should use independent judgment before relying on AI-generated feedback. Do not use Virtual Coach AI output to make medical, rehabilitation, return-to-play, emergency, diagnosis, treatment, recruiting, scholarship, insurance, or similarly significant decisions.

7. Injury Liability Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Virtual Coach is not liable for any injuries sustained during training or other physical activity performed in connection with the Service. This includes injuries that occur while following, attempting, modifying, or relying on drills, training suggestions, AI analysis, reports, scores, reminders, videos, or other Service content.

Nothing in this Disclaimer is intended to limit rights that cannot legally be limited. Some jurisdictions may not allow certain liability limitations, so some parts of this section may not apply to you. The Terms of Service contain additional disclaimers, limitations of liability, and user responsibility provisions.

8. Users Under 18

If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must review and accept this Disclaimer and the Terms of Service on your behalf before you use the Service or participate in training activities connected to the Service.

If you are a parent or legal guardian, you accept these terms on behalf of the child or teen user. You are responsible for deciding whether the Service is appropriate for the athlete, supervising participation, reviewing training suggestions, monitoring the athlete's condition, and stopping activity when needed.

Parents and guardians should consider the athlete's age, maturity, skill level, injury history, medical needs, training environment, and access to appropriate supervision. For under-13 users, parent consent and youth protections described in our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy may also apply.

9. Parent, Coach, and Professional Supervision

Parents and legal guardians are responsible for supervising child and teen users, deciding whether the Service is appropriate for the athlete, and confirming that the training environment, intensity, equipment, and drill selection are safe for that athlete.

Parents and guardians should consider involving a coach, healthcare professional, or athletic trainer when a child or teen has an injury history, pain, movement limitation, concussion concern, conditioning limitation, or other health or safety concern.

Coaches, trainers, and other adults who use the Service with athletes remain responsible for their own professional judgment, supervision, safety practices, and compliance with applicable rules, team policies, facility policies, school policies, and law.

10. No Guarantee of Outcomes

Virtual Coach does not guarantee athletic improvement, injury prevention, performance results, team placement, recruiting outcomes, health outcomes, safe completion of any training activity, or that a training suggestion will be appropriate for any particular athlete.

Training results vary by athlete, context, effort, coaching, sleep, nutrition, health, equipment, environment, and many other factors. The absence of a warning from the Service does not mean an activity is safe for you.

11. Your Acknowledgement

By proceeding to use the Service, you acknowledge and agree that:
