Version: 4.0 | Effective Date: 5 May 2026

Free and paid digital content across all platforms and distribution channels;
Live and recorded online classes and educational sessions;

2. Scope and Related Documents

This disclaimer governs your access to and use of TFC's content. It operates alongside the following TFC compliance documents, which govern separate aspects of your relationship with TFC:

Terms of Service - website use and product purchase: https://thefootcollective.com/policies/terms-of-service
Privacy Policy - all data collection and processing: https://thefootcollective.com/policies/privacy-policy
Event Participant Release and Waiver - in-person physical events (a separate signed waiver is required for in-person events; this content disclaimer does not function as a physical event waiver)
Pro Directory Disclaimer - TFC Pro practitioner directory
Pro Membership Service Agreement - TFC Pro members
Explorer Membership Service Agreement - TFC Explorer members

Where those documents contain specific provisions governing your use of content, those provisions apply together with this disclaimer.

This disclaimer is a notice, not a waiver. For TFC's paid Kajabi programs and TFC App, a separate clickwrap acknowledgement is presented at point of purchase and/or first login. That clickwrap mechanism, not this disclaimer page, constitutes contractual acceptance of these terms for paid program participants.

3. Nature of TFC's Content - Educational, Not Clinical

By accessing TFC's content, you acknowledge and agree that TFC provides educational content only and is not providing clinical services.

TFC is an education company. All TFC content - including movement instructions, exercises, curriculum frameworks, methodology, case studies, and health information - is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.

TFC's content is not:

medical advice, clinical assessment, diagnosis, or clinical opinion;
a therapeutic or clinical service;
the practice of physiotherapy, podiatry, chiropractic, medicine, or any other regulated health profession under Australian, UK, EU, or US law;
a substitute for advice from a registered and qualified healthcare professional.

TFC is not a registered health practitioner. TFC's content does not constitute the practice of any regulated health profession. This applies regardless of the professional qualifications held by individual TFC presenters, educators, Pros, or Guides - when delivering TFC content, those individuals are acting as educators within TFC's educational framework, not as clinical practitioners.

Always consult a qualified, registered healthcare professional before beginning any new exercise program, making changes to your movement routine, or acting on health information - particularly if you have a pre-existing injury, medical condition, or health concern.

4. No Therapeutic Claims

TFC's content does not claim to diagnose, treat, prevent, cure, or manage any disease, injury, or health condition, including any foot condition.

Statements made in TFC's content have not been evaluated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or any equivalent regulatory body in any jurisdiction. TFC's content is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Any general health information contained in TFC's content is educational only. TFC does not make clinical or therapeutic claims about the outcomes of its content for any individual.

5. Assumption of Risk

Participation in any movement-based activity - including exercises, practices, or techniques described or demonstrated in TFC's content - involves inherent risk of physical injury.

By choosing to participate, you:

voluntarily accept and assume all risks associated with participation in movement activities, including but not limited to: muscle strains, ligament sprains, tendon injuries (including Achilles tendon load injuries), stress fractures from load progression, plantar fascia strain, balance-related falls, and in rare cases more serious injury;
acknowledge that you have been made aware of the specific inherent risks set out in Section 6 of this disclaimer;
confirm that your participation is voluntary and that you have exercised your own judgement as to the suitability of TFC's content for your individual circumstances.

For the purposes of the Civil Liability Act 2003 (QLD) and equivalent legislation in other Australian states and territories, this section constitutes a risk warning. Participation after reading this warning constitutes voluntary assumption of the risks described.

This content disclaimer does not function as a waiver for in-person physical events. A separate signed Event Participant Release and Waiver is required for in-person participation.

6. Contraindicated Conditions and Emergency Stop Instruction

6.1 Medical Clearance - Named Contraindications

TFC's foot and movement content may not be appropriate for all individuals. You must seek medical clearance from a qualified healthcare professional before participating in TFC's content if you have any of the following conditions, or if you are unsure whether any of the following applies to you:

Diabetes (particularly where peripheral neuropathy is present - reduced sensation in the feet increases injury risk)
Peripheral vascular disease (reduced circulation to the lower limbs)
Active fracture or post-surgical recovery (foot, ankle, lower limb, or any condition that affects load-bearing)
Severe osteoporosis or osteopenia (increased fracture risk from load-bearing activities)
Balance and vestibular disorders (conditions affecting balance, stability, or proprioception)
Diagnosed cardiovascular conditions (for any content involving elevated intensity or cardiovascular exertion)
Pregnancy (modified activity is required; consult your healthcare provider before participating)
Active inflammatory arthropathies (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout in active phase, or similar)
Any other condition for which a healthcare professional has advised you to limit or avoid physical activity

This list identifies specific foreseeable conditions for which TFC's content poses elevated risk. It is not exhaustive. If you have any concern about your suitability to participate, consult a healthcare professional before accessing TFC's content.

6.2 Emergency Stop Instruction

Stop immediately and seek emergency medical care if you experience any of the following during participation:

Chest pain or chest tightness
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, or loss of balance
Loss of consciousness or near-loss of consciousness
Sudden severe or sharp pain in any part of the body
Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat
Numbness or tingling that was not present before activity

In Australia, call 000. In the UK, call 999. In the US and Canada, call 911. In the EU, call 112.

7. Healthcare Professionals - Professional Misuse Prohibition

TFC's content is not designed or approved for professional clinical application.

If you are a registered healthcare professional, certified personal trainer, exercise physiologist, or any other regulated or credentialled practitioner:

TFC's educational content does not constitute clinical guidance and must not be used as the basis for clinical decisions, referrals, or treatment plans;
Applying TFC's educational content in a professional clinical context is not authorised by TFC and is at your own professional risk;
TFC's content is not a substitute for your professional training, clinical guidelines, or scope-of-practice obligations;
Your professional indemnity obligations remain your sole responsibility.

The fact that individual TFC presenters hold professional healthcare qualifications does not alter the educational nature of TFC's content or authorise clinical application by any other healthcare professional.

8. Content Currency

TFC's content reflects the state of knowledge and evidence at the time of its production. Health, movement science, and rehabilitation science continue to evolve.

TFC's content may not reflect current scientific understanding or clinical evidence at the time you access it;
TFC endeavours to update its content regularly but does not guarantee that all content is current;
Older content in TFC's library (YouTube, App archive, Kajabi back-catalogue) may contain guidance that has since been revised or updated by TFC;
Content currency notices are not displayed on individual pieces of content - if you have any concern about whether specific content reflects current evidence, consult a registered healthcare professional.

9. Age Restrictions and Children

TFC's content and platforms are not intended for children under 13 years of age.

Persons under 13 must not use TFC's platforms or provide personal information to TFC without verifiable parental or guardian consent, as required under the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Under-16 restrictions apply to California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CPRA) and California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA).

If TFC becomes aware that a person under 13 has provided personal information without appropriate consent, TFC will take steps to delete that information consistent with applicable law.

Where TFC's content is accessible by minors, parents and guardians are responsible for supervising their child's participation and for assessing the suitability of TFC's content for their child.

In the event of conflict between this disclaimer and a platform's terms of service, the platform's terms of service govern in respect of content distributed through that platform.
