Health & Activity Disclaimer

Any information shared via TheNextHill — including, without limitation, readiness scores, training plans, adventure recommendations, performance metrics, AI coaching conversations, and content provided by other users — is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not intended to be and shall not be construed as medical or professional advice of any nature.

Such information should not be used in place of (a) the advice of your physician or other medical professionals, or (b) information contained on or in any product packaging or label. Should you have any health-related questions, please call or see your physician or other healthcare provider promptly.

You should never disregard medical advice or delay in seeking medical advice because of any content on TheNextHill, and you should not use TheNextHill for diagnosing or treating a health problem.

TNH does not warrant or represent that any fitness or health-related information, metrics, or recommendations provided by the Service — including readiness scores, training plans, or AI-generated coaching — are suitable for your particular health condition, age, or abilities, or that they comply with any medical guidelines or standards. You are solely responsible for determining whether to follow any recommendation or plan and for consulting with a qualified healthcare professional as needed.

YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THENEXTHILL AND ANY ATHLETIC OR ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES DONE PURSUANT TO OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE — INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOLLOWING A TRAINING PLAN, READINESS RECOMMENDATION, OR AI COACHING SUGGESTION — IS AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INJURY, DAMAGE, OR LOSS TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY RESULTING THEREFROM.

Adventure and athletic activities — including but not limited to mountaineering, ocean sailing, motorcycle touring, rally driving, backcountry skiing, long-distance cycling, endurance events, and activities at altitude or in extreme environments — carry inherent and significant risks of serious bodily injury, disability, death, or property damage. You voluntarily assume all known and unknown risks associated with these activities.

TheNextHill's coaching feature uses artificial intelligence (currently powered by Anthropic's Claude API). We may change or add AI providers from time to time, and any such providers will process data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. AI technologies have known and unknown risks and limitations and may make mistakes; you understand and agree that you use AI features at your own risk.

The AI coach is not a human. It is not a licensed medical professional, certified personal trainer, registered dietitian, or credentialed health care provider of any kind. It provides general fitness coaching, adventure planning, and accountability support. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. It cannot interpret lab results, evaluate medications, or assess whether a treatment plan is appropriate.

Before you may access the AI coaching feature, you will be presented with in-app notices and acknowledgements regarding the medical and health limitations of the AI coach. You must review and complete those acknowledgements before the AI coaching feature will become available to you.

You should always use common sense and good judgment before acting on any AI-generated recommendation to make sure it is safe, secure, and appropriate for your skill level and medical circumstances. If you have a medical condition, injury, or health concern, consult a qualified healthcare professional before beginning, modifying, or continuing any exercise program. The AI coach will work within restrictions set by your physician but cannot evaluate whether those restrictions are correct or sufficient.

AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or inappropriate suggestions. TheNextHill does not guarantee the accuracy, safety, or suitability of any AI-generated content. You are solely responsible for evaluating whether any AI-generated suggestion is appropriate for your individual circumstances.

TheNextHill may log, review, and analyze AI coaching conversations to improve the Service and ensure safety. Conversations may be flagged for review if the system detects content related to medical conditions or safety concerns. By using the AI coaching feature, you consent to this monitoring.

Before beginning any new physical activity, training program, or adventure — and especially before undertaking activities involving altitude, extreme environments, endurance demands, or significant physical exertion — you should consult with a qualified physician or sports medicine specialist.

This recommendation applies regardless of what any readiness score, training plan, or AI coaching conversation suggests. Your physician knows your medical history. We do not.

If you are being treated for a health condition or illness, taking prescription medication, or following a therapeutic program, you should consult with your physician before using TheNextHill. If any information you receive from using TheNextHill is inconsistent with the medical advice from your physician, you should follow the advice of your physician.

TheNextHill integrates with Garmin® and other fitness platforms to import activity data, heart rate information, sleep data, and other metrics. This data is used to generate readiness assessments and training recommendations. However:

• Wearable devices have known accuracy limitations, particularly for heart rate, sleep staging, and calorie estimation.
• Our algorithms apply general fitness principles to your data. They are not calibrated to your individual physiology.
• A "ready" readiness score reflects data patterns, not clinical assessment. It should never override your physician's guidance or your own physical sensations.

Adventures and activities suggested by users have not been independently verified by TheNextHill for safety, accuracy, legality, or suitability. TheNextHill does not assume responsibility for the inspection, supervision, preparation, or conduct of any adventure, event, or group activity referenced on the Service. Participation in any activity — whether suggested by TheNextHill, by other users, or by the AI coach — is entirely at your own risk.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO RELEASE TNH, ITS OWNER, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AFFILIATES (THE "RELEASED PARTIES") FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ATHLETIC OR ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES AND/OR USE OF THE SERVICE AND ANY CONTENT, AND PROMISE NOT TO SUE THE RELEASED PARTIES FOR ANY CLAIMS, ACTIONS, INJURIES, DAMAGES, OR LOSSES ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH USE.

YOU ALSO AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL THE RELEASED PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR USE OR MISUSE OF THE SERVICE, THE CONTENT, ANY AI-GENERATED CONTENT, ANY USER-SUBMITTED CONTENT, OR ANY THIRD-PARTY PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR INFORMATION, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF TNH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES.

TNH'S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF EITHER (A) FIFTY DOLLARS ($50), OR (B) THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY YOU TO TNH IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE CLAIM.

If you live in a jurisdiction that does not allow for certain disclaimers, limitations, or exclusions, some or all of the above may not apply to you. Solely to the extent that any of the above does not apply, all remaining disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations shall continue to apply.
