3. Nature of Content
The Website provides free educational and informational content about active rest, gentle outdoor movement, and calm downtime ideas. All content is offered for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute professional, medical, fitness, psychological, or legal advice of any kind.

4. Health and Wellbeing Disclaimer
The content on this Website is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare provider — such as a general practitioner registered with the Medical Council of New Zealand — before starting any new physical activity or outdoor practice, especially if you are pregnant, have a chronic condition, injury, or other health concern.
Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this Website. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call 111 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
Individual results and experiences vary. We make no guarantees about outcomes from following any suggestions on this site.
5. Outdoor Activity and Safety
Outdoor activities — including walking, camping, and time in natural environments — involve inherent risks such as uneven terrain, weather changes, wildlife, and remote locations. You are solely responsible for assessing your own fitness, preparing appropriately, checking local conditions and regulations, and taking reasonable safety precautions.
When camping or visiting outdoor areas in New Zealand, follow guidance from relevant authorities (such as the Department of Conservation), respect private land and Māori cultural sites, and comply with local bylaws and fire restrictions. Content on this Website does not replace official safety information or professional outdoor instruction.

To the fullest extent permitted by New Zealand law, Motionelbow shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Website, participation in outdoor activities described on the site, or reliance on its content.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights or remedies you may have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or Fair Trading Act 1986 that cannot be lawfully excluded.
10. Fair Trading and Consumer Law
We are committed to accurate, honest presentation of our content in accordance with the Fair Trading Act 1986.
