Changes

 

We amend these T&Cs from time to time. Every time you wish to use our site, please check these T&Cs to ensure you understand the version extant at that time.

 

We may update and change our site from time to time to reflect changes to our services, our users' needs, and our business priorities.

 

We may suspend or withdraw our site. We do not guarantee that our site, or any content on it, will always be available or be uninterrupted. We may suspend or withdraw or restrict the availability of all or any part of our site for business and operational reasons. We will try to give you reasonable notice of any suspension or withdrawal.

 

You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access our site through your internet connection are aware of these terms of use and other applicable T&Cs, and that they comply with them.

Location

 

Our site is only intended for users and viewers in the United Kingdom (UK), therefore our site is directed to people residing in the UK. We do not represent that content available on or through our site is appropriate for use or available in other locations or jurisdictions.

 

Limitations of Liability

 

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

By engaging in physical activities, you agree that you voluntarily participate with full knowledge that there is an inherent risk of personal injury or illness arising from such engagement.

​

Generally, women do not need permission to move or engage in low to moderate intensity physical activities, however, you need to understand that:

​

(1) the guidance for being active during pregnancy applies to uncomplicated pregnancies: and (2) the guidance for being active following childbirth advocates a gradual return to moderate intensity activities and that higher intensity activities should only proceed in the absence of any signs or symptoms of abdominal wall and/or pelvic floor dysfunction.

 

You are responsible for your own health and wellbeing and it is up to you to ensure that you are well enough to participate in physical activities. We are not in a position to express an opinion that you are able to participate safely in any activity. You must obtain professional or specialist advice from your medical team (e.g. midwife, GP, physiotherapist) if you have any concerns on this matter. 

​
