Terms of use

These terms govern access to Parnon, an informational editorial publication operated from Jakarta, Indonesia. By reading the site, visitors agree to use it lawfully, respectfully, and with appropriate judgment about the difference between general education and individual advice. These terms are written to be read alongside the Privacy Policy, the Cookies Policy, and the Editorial Disclaimer, which together describe how Parnon collects information, uses cookies, and frames the limits of general content about athletic performance. For example, a reader who disagrees with a specific claim in an article should use the correction process described in the Editorial Policy rather than treating disagreement as a basis to disregard these terms. Where a term in this document conflicts with a more specific notice on an individual page, the more specific notice governs that particular point. These terms apply to every visitor regardless of the device or location used to reach the site, subject to the local law of the visitor's own jurisdiction where it provides a right that cannot be waived.

1. Service description

Parnon publishes articles about sports physiology, cardiovascular endurance, functional fitness, recovery, and related topics for men aged 35 and above. Content is offered for information and discussion. It is not a medical service, coaching contract, diagnosis, or promise of a particular performance outcome. For example, an article describing a general approach to building cardiovascular endurance is written to explain concepts and trade-offs, not to function as a personalized training prescription for a specific reader's heart rate zones or injury history. Parnon does not operate a booking system, a paid coaching program, or a diagnostic tool, and no feature on the site should be mistaken for one. A reader considering a significant change to their activity level, particularly one with an existing cardiovascular or musculoskeletal condition, is expected to weigh the general material here against guidance from a qualified professional familiar with their specific situation.

• a. Articles are general-interest editorial content, not a personalized training or nutrition plan.
• b. No feature on the site constitutes a medical consultation, diagnosis, or treatment recommendation.
• c. Performance outcomes described in an article are illustrative, not a prediction for any individual reader.

2. Responsible use

Readers are responsible for considering their own health history, environment, training experience, and professional guidance before changing activity. Stop an activity and seek appropriate care for concerning symptoms. No article should be interpreted as permission to disregard a clinician or emergency service. For example, a reader managing a diagnosed cardiovascular condition who reads an article about interval training should treat that article as background context to discuss with their own physician, not as a substitute for that physician's specific recommendation. Environmental factors such as heat, altitude, and air quality in Jakarta or elsewhere in Indonesia can materially change the risk of a given activity, and general articles cannot account for a reader's specific location and conditions on a given day. If a symptom such as chest discomfort, severe shortness of breath, or fainting occurs during or after activity, the responsible step is to stop and seek appropriate medical attention promptly rather than to continue referring to general content.

3. Intellectual property

Text, branding, layout, and original editorial materials belong to Parnon or its licensors unless otherwise stated. Visitors may quote short passages with attribution and a link. Republishing full articles, scraping the site for commercial datasets, or presenting Parnon material as another publication requires written permission. For example, a reader writing a blog post may quote two or three sentences from a Parnon article with a credit line and a link back to the original page without needing separate permission, since this is consistent with ordinary fair comment and citation practice. Copying an entire article onto another website, compiling multiple Parnon articles into a dataset used to train or support a commercial product, or using the Parnon name or logo to suggest an affiliation that does not exist each requires prior written permission from Parnon. Automated scraping of the site at a volume or frequency that burdens the hosting infrastructure is treated the same as a request for commercial use and is not authorized by default.

• a. Short quotations with attribution and a link are permitted without separate written permission.
• b. Full-article republication or dataset compilation requires prior written permission from Parnon.
• c. Use of the Parnon name or branding that implies an affiliation that does not exist is not permitted.

4. Third-party links

Links may lead to external websites selected for context or convenience. Parnon does not control those websites, their availability, their privacy practices, or their claims. A link does not constitute endorsement, clinical validation, or a guarantee about the destination. For example, an article referencing a public health body's general guidance may link to that organization's website, but Parnon cannot guarantee that the linked page remains unchanged, available, or accurate after publication. A reader who notices that a linked page has moved, changed its claims, or become unavailable is welcome to report this through Contact so the reference can be reviewed or updated. Because external sites operate under their own terms and privacy practices, a visitor who follows a link away from Parnon should review that destination's own policies before sharing any personal information there.

5. Accuracy and updates

The editorial team works to make content clear and current, but no publication can guarantee that every statement remains complete in every setting. Pages may be corrected, updated, or withdrawn. Readers should check the date and seek current professional guidance for consequential decisions. For example, an article published in early 2026 referencing a particular study or guideline may be revisited later in the year if newer, more directly relevant information becomes available, and the page's displayed date reflects the most recent substantive review. A statement that is accurate as general background may not apply to a reader with an atypical health profile, which is why these terms and the Editorial Disclaimer both emphasize individual professional guidance for decisions with real consequences. Where an error is identified, Parnon's practice is to correct the page and, where the error was material, note the correction date rather than silently altering the historical record.

6. Advertising

Advertising or sponsorship, if present, is separated from editorial judgment. Commercial consideration does not purchase positive coverage. Advertising claims remain the responsibility of the advertiser and should not be treated as Parnon medical advice. For example, if a sponsored placement appears alongside an article, it is labeled as such and is reviewed to ensure it does not use medical claims, guaranteed results, or urgency language inconsistent with Parnon's editorial standards. The presence of an advertisement does not mean Parnon has independently verified every factual claim made by the advertiser, and a reader should evaluate a commercial claim with the same care applied to any other external source. Additional detail about how advertising fits into the broader editorial framework appears on the dedicated advertising information page.

7. Contact submissions

Do not send passwords, payment credentials, medical records, or confidential information through a general contact form. You grant Parnon permission to use a submission to respond, investigate an error, and improve editorial work, subject to the Privacy Policy. For example, a reader reporting a broken link or a factual concern should describe the issue in general terms rather than attaching a scanned medical document, since the contact form is not designed as a secure channel for sensitive files. The permission granted to Parnon to use a submission is limited to the purposes described here and in the Privacy Policy, and does not extend to using the submission for an unrelated commercial purpose such as a testimonial in an advertisement. A submission that appears to contain sensitive information is handled with the retention and access limits described in the Privacy Policy's retention section rather than being treated differently from an ordinary message.

8. Prohibited conduct

Visitors must not interfere with the service, upload malware, impersonate another person, harvest personal data, bypass access controls, or use the publication to promote unlawful harm. We may restrict access where necessary to protect readers, staff, or infrastructure. For example, an automated tool that repeatedly submits the contact form to probe for vulnerabilities, or that attempts to extract reader email addresses from server responses, falls within harvesting and interference and may result in the originating address being blocked. Impersonation includes submitting a message or comment using another identifiable person's name without their knowledge in a way intended to mislead the editorial team or other readers. Where Parnon restricts access to address conduct under this section, it aims to apply a proportionate response, such as blocking a specific address or pattern of activity, rather than a broader restriction than the conduct warrants.

• a. Technical interference: attempts to disrupt, overload, or probe the website's infrastructure.
• b. Data harvesting or impersonation: automated scraping of personal data, or posing as another identifiable person.
• c. Unlawful promotion: using the publication's contact or comment channels to promote illegal activity or harm.

9. Availability

Pages may be unavailable during maintenance, hosting incidents, security work, or editorial changes. Parnon does not promise uninterrupted availability. We may reorganize navigation or retire a page while preserving appropriate correction and legal records. For example, scheduled hosting maintenance may take the site offline briefly outside normal business hours in Jakarta, and an unplanned hosting incident could cause a longer, unscheduled interruption that Parnon works to resolve promptly. When an article is retired because it is outdated or has been consolidated into a newer page, Parnon aims to redirect the old address where practical so a returning reader is not left with a broken link. Legal or correction records associated with a retired page, such as a note that a claim was withdrawn, may be preserved separately even after the public page itself is removed.

10. Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Parnon is not responsible for indirect loss arising from reliance on general information, external links, or interrupted availability. Nothing in these terms excludes a responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded under Indonesian law. For example, Parnon does not accept liability for a reader's decision to change their activity level based solely on a general article, since that decision depends on facts about the reader that Parnon has no way to know. This limitation applies to indirect or consequential loss and does not attempt to exclude liability for matters that Indonesian consumer protection or other mandatory law does not permit to be excluded, such as liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct where recognized by applicable law. Where a provision of this section is found unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, the remaining provisions continue to apply.

11. Governing context

These terms are administered from Jakarta, Indonesia. Questions should first be sent to Parnon at Jalan Sudirman No. 12, Jakarta Pusat, DKI Jakarta 10220, Indonesia or +62 813 6789 2541. Mandatory local consumer or statutory rights remain unaffected. For example, a reader located outside Indonesia retains whatever mandatory consumer protection exists under their own local law, even though the publication itself is organized and administered from Jakarta. Parnon aims to acknowledge a written question sent to the address or phone number above within a reasonable period, generally within 10 business days, so that a dispute can be addressed directly before any other step is considered. These terms do not require a reader to use a particular dispute resolution process before contacting a relevant consumer authority where that right exists under local law.

12. Changes

This version was reviewed October 5, 2026. Changes will be dated and described on this page. Continued use after an update means the visitor accepts the updated terms for future access, subject to rights that cannot be waived. A material change to these terms, such as a change to the liability or intellectual property sections, is described in plain language near the top of this page so a returning reader can quickly identify what changed since their last visit. Minor clarifications that do not alter a reader's rights or obligations may be made without a separate notice, consistent with the same approach used for the Privacy Policy's change log. The October 5, 2026 review confirmed the contact details, the governing context, and the prohibited conduct provisions described above.
