These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the SummersMethod athlete portal at summersmethod.online and related services (the "Services"), operated by SummersMethod ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to these Terms.

3. Not Medical Advice
The SummersMethod assessment identifies physical capacity, biomechanics, and mobility characteristics for the purpose of training programming.

If you have pain, an injury, or any medical concern, consult a qualified healthcare provider.
