1. About these terms

These terms apply to use of kaltvel.info, operated by Kaltvel Health Ltd, 33 Corn Street, Bristol BS1 4ER. By browsing the site you agree to use it lawfully and respectfully. These terms sit alongside our privacy policy, cookie policy and disclaimer, all of which form part of the overall agreement between a reader and Kaltvel when using the site. If any part of these terms conflicts with a more specific statement made elsewhere on the site, such as the disclaimer's description of the editorial-only nature of our content, the more specific statement takes precedence on that particular point. These terms apply from the moment a reader begins browsing kaltvel.info and continue to apply for as long as they interact with the site, including through the contact form or newsletter sign-up. For clarity, these terms are written to apply equally to a reader who simply views articles without ever submitting a form, and to a reader who actively subscribes to the newsletter or sends a contact message; the level of engagement does not change which sections of these terms apply, only which sections become practically relevant to that reader's specific interaction with the site. Where these terms refer to "using the site", this is intended broadly to include browsing, following links, downloading any published summary, and submitting information through a form, rather than being limited to any single type of interaction.

  • a) "The site" means kaltvel.info and all pages, articles and forms published under that domain, including any subdomain that may be introduced in future for the same editorial operation.
  • b) "You" or "reader" means any individual who accesses or uses the site, whether or not they submit a form, and regardless of whether they access the site from the United Kingdom or elsewhere.
  • c) These terms apply in addition to, and not instead of, statutory consumer rights that cannot be excluded under UK law, including relevant protections under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 where they are capable of applying to a free editorial service of this kind.
  • d) Where these terms are silent on a specific situation not anticipated here, Kaltvel will act reasonably and in a manner consistent with the general spirit of these terms and the disclaimer.

2. Editorial material

Articles are general informational content. They are not personal advice and should not be used as the sole basis for a decision about your circumstances. The disclaimer page forms part of these terms. This means that every article published on kaltvel.info, including pieces discussing strength training, recovery, cardio or mobility topics, is written as a general overview rather than a tailored recommendation for any individual reader. For example, an article summarising general findings about training frequency does not take into account a specific reader's age, injury history or current fitness level, and should not be treated as if it did. Where an article references published research or public guidance, that reference reflects the state of publicly available information at the time of writing and may be superseded by later findings, consistent with the approach described in our disclaimer. This section should be read together with the disclaimer's own sections on sources and updates, since both documents describe the same underlying limitation from slightly different angles: the disclaimer explains why articles cannot substitute for personal advice, while this section confirms that the same limitation forms part of the binding agreement between a reader and Kaltvel when using the site, not merely a stylistic note attached to individual articles.

3. Intellectual property

Text, branding and original design belong to Kaltvel Health Ltd unless stated otherwise. You may link to pages and quote brief passages with attribution. Do not reproduce complete articles for commercial publication without written permission. This includes the Kaltvel name and wordmark, the visual design of the site, and the specific wording used in published articles, all of which remain the property of Kaltvel Health Ltd. A brief quotation, such as a single sentence used with a clear link back to the original article, is generally acceptable for non-commercial commentary or discussion, provided the source is credited. Requests to reproduce a larger portion of an article, or to republish it in full on another platform, should be sent to [email protected] and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Beyond text and branding, this protection also extends to the specific selection and arrangement of information within an article, such as a "key takeaways" list or a comparison table, even where the underlying facts summarised are drawn from public sources; it is the particular wording and presentation created by the Kaltvel editorial team that is protected, not the general facts themselves. Automated scraping or bulk copying of articles for republication elsewhere, including through a script or third-party tool, falls outside the limited permission described below and would require the same written permission as manual republication.

  • a) Permitted: linking directly to an article page and quoting a short passage with clear attribution, including in academic, journalistic or personal blog contexts, provided the source link is included.
  • b) Not permitted without written permission: reproducing a complete article, or a substantial portion of one, on another commercial website, or incorporating our wording into another publisher's content without a licence.
  • c) Any request to reproduce content beyond brief quotation should be sent in writing to [email protected] before publication elsewhere, and should describe the intended use, the platform involved, and whether the reproduction is for commercial or non-commercial purposes.
  • d) Kaltvel reserves the right to decline a reproduction request, or to grant permission subject to conditions such as attribution wording or a linking requirement, at its own discretion.

4. External links

External references may help readers explore a subject, but Kaltvel is not responsible for their content, availability or security. Where an article links to a government website, a research publication or another third-party resource, that link is provided purely for background context and does not imply any partnership, endorsement or commercial relationship between Kaltvel and the linked site. External sites may change their content, move to a different address or become temporarily or permanently unavailable at any time, and Kaltvel cannot guarantee that a previously referenced link will continue to work indefinitely. Readers who follow an external link do so at their own discretion and should review that site's own terms and privacy information before interacting with it. This is particularly relevant where an external link leads to a research publication that may sit behind its own access restrictions, or to a government resource that may be updated or reorganised independently of Kaltvel's own editorial schedule. Kaltvel does not receive any payment, commission or other benefit for including a specific external link within an article, and links are selected purely on editorial grounds related to the topic being discussed.

5. Contact submissions

Messages must be accurate, lawful and free of material that infringes another person's rights. We may remove abusive or irrelevant submissions and retain correspondence according to our privacy policy. This means a reader submitting the contact form is responsible for ensuring the content of their message does not contain defamatory statements, unlawful material or content that breaches a third party's intellectual property or privacy rights. Kaltvel reserves the right to decline to respond to a message that is abusive, spam-like or unrelated to the editorial content of the site, and may block repeated abusive submissions from the same source. Contact messages are handled and retained in line with the retention periods and rights described in our privacy policy, generally for 12 months after the last exchange unless a longer period is legally required. Where a message raises a data protection request, such as asking what personal information Kaltvel holds about the sender, that request will be handled under the rights and response times described in our privacy policy rather than solely as an ordinary contact enquiry, since a data protection request carries its own statutory timescale that takes precedence over general customer service expectations. A reader who submits a message on behalf of a third party, such as reporting a broken link on someone else's behalf, should avoid including that third party's personal details unless it is genuinely necessary for us to understand and act on the message.

6. Availability

We aim to keep the site available but cannot promise uninterrupted access. Pages may be changed, paused or removed when editorial or technical circumstances require it. Planned maintenance, hosting provider issues or editorial decisions to revise or retire older content may all result in temporary or permanent changes to specific pages, and Kaltvel does not guarantee that any particular article will remain published at the same address indefinitely. Where a page is removed or substantially rewritten, Kaltvel is not obliged to provide advance notice to individual readers, although significant structural changes to the site will generally be reflected in an updated sitemap. Readers relying on a specific article for future reference are encouraged to save or bookmark a copy if continued access is important to them. In the event of an extended outage caused by circumstances outside Kaltvel's reasonable control, such as a hosting provider failure, Kaltvel will aim to restore access as soon as reasonably practicable, but does not offer a specific service-level commitment or compensation for downtime, since the site is provided to readers free of charge. Where a URL structure changes as part of a wider site update, Kaltvel will make reasonable efforts to redirect the old address to the most relevant current page, though this cannot be guaranteed for every historical link that may exist elsewhere on the web.

7. Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Subject to that point, Kaltvel is not liable for decisions made solely from general editorial material. This reflects the editorial-only nature of the site described throughout these terms and the disclaimer: because articles are general overviews rather than individual advice, Kaltvel cannot accept responsibility for outcomes that follow a reader's own decision to apply general content to their personal circumstances without professional input. Nothing in this section is intended to exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under the law of England and Wales, including relevant provisions of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Where a liability cannot be excluded by law, this section should be read as limited to the greatest extent the law permits, rather than as attempting to exclude it entirely. As a further point of clarity, this section does not attempt to limit Kaltvel's responsibilities under data protection law in relation to personal information submitted through the contact form or newsletter sign-up, which are instead governed by the rights, retention periods and complaint procedures set out in our privacy policy. Similarly, nothing in this section is intended to remove a reader's right to raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office or another relevant regulator where that right exists independently of this agreement.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Courts in England and Wales will have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer rights. Where a reader is a consumer resident in another part of the United Kingdom or in another country, mandatory local consumer protection rules that cannot be excluded by agreement will continue to apply alongside this governing law clause. This choice of governing law reflects the location of Kaltvel Health Ltd's registered address in Bristol, England, and is intended to provide a single, predictable legal framework for interpreting these terms rather than to remove protections a reader would otherwise have under their own local law. In practice, this means that a reader based in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or outside the United Kingdom entirely may still be able to rely on mandatory protections available under their own local consumer law when dealing with Kaltvel, even though the general interpretation of these terms defaults to the law of England and Wales. Kaltvel has chosen this governing law for consistency and administrative simplicity, given that the business is registered and operated from Bristol, rather than as an attempt to disadvantage readers based elsewhere.

9. Changes

We reviewed these terms on 24 September 2026. The current version is displayed on this page and applies from publication. Minor clarifications, such as correcting a typographical error, may be made without changing the review date shown at the top of this page, while any material change to a reader's rights or obligations under these terms will be accompanied by an updated review date. Continued use of the site after a material change is published constitutes acceptance of the updated terms; readers who do not agree with a material change should stop using the site and may contact [email protected] with any questions about a specific update. Where a material change is significant enough to affect how personal data is handled, such as a change relevant to newsletter sign-up, the update will also be cross-referenced in our privacy policy so that the two documents remain consistent with one another. Readers who wish to review the history of changes to these terms are welcome to contact [email protected], and where practical the editorial team will describe, in general terms, what changed between two versions and when that change was made.
