Terms

The Loretta Mostofi website at https://www.lorettamostofi.com (Website) is owned and operated by Loretta Mostofi Fitness (we, us, our).

By ticking “I accept the terms and conditions”, you agree to be personally bound by these terms and conditions, whether for yourself or on behalf of a minor (as determined by the jurisdiction in which you reside), if you are registering on behalf of a minor. By ticking “I accept the terms and conditions”, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if it is not 18), and if you are registering on behalf of a minor, that you are their legal guardian.

These terms apply to the use of this Website, including the use of the information services provided through this Website.

You agree to pay for our services in the manner specified on the Website. We are entitled to rely on the password-protected access to your account as conclusive evidence of your identity and authority without further investigation.

If you, or a user on whose behalf you register (including a minor), breaches these terms and conditions, you acknowledge that we may immediately terminate your account, without refund, and take appropriate legal action (if we choose) against you alone. Further you acknowledge that we are entitled to suspend or terminate your membership at any time if we consider that you have brought, or may bring, the reputation of Loretta Mostofi or its members into disrepute.

If you are registering on behalf of a minor, it is your responsibility to inform them of their obligations as a user of this Website and ensure compliance with these terms.

Terms of Use of Site

Seek Advice from Medical Professional

As with any physical activity, it is important that before beginning any fitness regime, you consult with your health care professional to ensure that you are mindful of your current health and any restrictions that are appropriate for you. You should immediately seek medical attention if there are any unanticipated changes to your physical condition at any time.

Our Service

Our service shall be delivered as described on our website.

Information Provided on Site

All information provided by us on the Website is provided in good faith. We derive our information from sources which we believe to be accurate and up to date as at the date of publication. We nevertheless reserve the right to update any information at any time. In addition, we do not make any representations or warranties that any information we provide is reliable, accurate or complete and we make no guarantees of any specific result from use of this Website or the information service provided through it. We are not liable for any loss arising from any action taken or reliance by you on any information or material posted by us.

Nutritional Information

Nutritional information provided on the Website is taken from sources provided by third parties. Before relying on any nutritional information on the Website, you should carefully evaluate the accuracy, completeness and relevance of this information for your purposes, and consider the need to obtain appropriate expert advice relevant to your circumstances. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has made considerable effort to ensure the quality of information in NUTTAB 2010, however, none of FSANZ, Loretta Mostofi or any other provider of nutritional information on the Website gives any warranty that the information is free from error or suitable for your purposes.

There are limitations associated with food composition databases. Nutrient data published in a database such as NUTTAB 2010 may represent an average of the nutrient content of a particular sample of foods and ingredients, determined at a particular time. The nutrient composition of foods and ingredients can vary substantially between batches and brands because of a number of factors, including changes in season, changes in formulation, processing practices and ingredient source. While most of the data contained in NUTTAB 2010 are generated from analysed values, some of the data are borrowed from overseas food composition tables; supplied by the food industry; taken from food labels; imputed from similar foods; or calculated using a recipe approach.

Fitness Level

Persons with pre-existing medical conditions, in poor health, or with any concerns as to commencement of new fitness regime should consult with an appropriate healthcare professional before beginning any fitness program. You are responsible to make your own enquiries and seek independent advice from a healthcare professional before acting on any information or material made available to you through our Website. Our information service may not be suitable to your particular circumstances and is not a substitute for obtaining specific advice from a qualified health care professional. In particular, we strongly advise the following classes of persons firstly consult a healthcare professional (this list is non-exhaustive):

  • pregnant women
  • persons with any on-going physical condition such as
    • persons suffering from cancer or other long term illness
    • persons with liver disease, kidney disease, or renal failure
    • persons with eating disorders
    • persons with diabetes, blood pressure or cholesterol issues
    • elderly persons
    • persons recovering from or recently recovered from illness or injury, and
    • persons with a low body mass index.

You acknowledge that, by participating in our information service, you are doing so voluntarily and, depending on your particular circumstances, there may be risks to your health. You further acknowledge that these risks may be caused by your own acts or omissions, or those of other users of the Website, or may be risks that are not known to you or are not readily foreseeable at the time of using the information service. This is a risk warning pursuant to the Australian Consumer Law. You assume all risks in connection with your participation in our information service. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude any express or implied warranties of reasonable care and skill.

We can not ensure that files you download from the Site will be free of viruses or contamination or destructive features. Receipt of emails, or other Internet based communications such as via Facebook or Twitter from us cannot be guaranteed.
