### 1. Important Health and Safety Notice
The Jester Combat Arm is a martial arts training device designed for stand-up striking, reflex development, coordination, timing, and related training activities. Martial arts and physical training involve inherent risks, including the possibility of serious injury.
Before purchasing or using the Jester Combat Arm, you should consult a qualified physician or other appropriate healthcare professional to determine whether martial arts training and use of this product are appropriate for your physical condition.
Martial arts training and use of the Jester Combat Arm may cause injury or aggravate pre-existing medical conditions, including but not limited to injuries or conditions affecting the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, back, neck, hips, knees, ankles, and other joints, muscles, bones, or soft tissues. Physical exertion may also aggravate cardiovascular, neurological, or other medical conditions.
**Do not use this product if a healthcare professional has advised you against the activity or if you are experiencing pain, dizziness, or other symptoms that make training unsafe.** Stop using the product immediately if you experience pain, unusual discomfort, shortness of breath, dizziness, or other concerning symptoms, and seek appropriate medical attention.
### 2. Intended and Proper Use
The Jester Combat Arm must be used only for its intended training purposes and in accordance with the product instructions, safety recommendations, and any applicable warnings provided by Jester Combat LLC.
Users are responsible for:
- Reading and understanding all instructions and safety warnings before use.
- Inspecting the product, mounting straps, attachment points, and installation surface before every training session.
- Ensuring the product is securely mounted and that the mounting surface can safely support the intended training activity.
- Using appropriate protective equipment, adequate training space, and suitable supervision when necessary.
- Avoiding excessive force, unsafe techniques, unauthorized modifications, and any use inconsistent with the product's intended purpose.
- Discontinuing use if the product becomes damaged, loose, unstable, or otherwise unsafe.
The Jester Combat Arm is a training aid, not a substitute for qualified martial arts instruction, professional supervision, proper conditioning, or sound safety practices. No particular level of skill, performance, or training result is guaranteed.
### 3. Assumption of Risk
By purchasing, receiving, possessing, or using the Jester Combat Arm, you acknowledge that participation in martial arts and physical training involves inherent and foreseeable risks.
These risks may include, without limitation, bruises, cuts, sprains, strains, fractures, joint injuries, muscle injuries, falls, head injuries, dental injuries, aggravation of existing medical conditions, permanent disability, and, in extreme circumstances, death.
You voluntarily assume the risks inherent in the proper and foreseeable use of the product, to the extent permitted by applicable law. You understand that injuries may occur even when the product is used appropriately and reasonable precautions are taken.
You are responsible for determining whether you are physically capable of using the product safely and for exercising appropriate judgment throughout your training.
### 4. Release and Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Jester Combat LLC, its owners, officers, employees, contractors, representatives, distributors, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns shall not be liable for injuries, losses, damages, or claims arising from or related to the voluntary use or misuse of the Jester Combat Arm, including injuries resulting from the inherent risks of martial arts training, failure to follow instructions, improper installation, unsafe training practices, unauthorized modifications, or failure to inspect the product.
To the extent permitted by law, the foregoing limitation applies to claims for personal injury, property damage, and consequential or incidental losses arising from product use.
Nothing in this disclaimer is intended to waive or exclude liability that cannot legally be waived or excluded, including liability where prohibited by applicable law, or to eliminate any non-waivable consumer rights.
This disclaimer does not constitute a blanket release for every possible claim. The applicability of any release or limitation depends on the facts and governing law.
### 5. Product Use and Medical Advice
Jester Combat LLC does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment through its product, website, marketing materials, or training information.
Information provided by Jester Combat LLC is for general informational and training purposes only. It should not be interpreted as medical advice or as a representation that the product is safe for every individual.
Purchasers and users should seek appropriate professional medical guidance before beginning or changing a physical training program, particularly if they have existing injuries, chronic medical conditions, physical limitations, or concerns about their ability to participate safely.
### 6. No Guarantee of Results
Jester Combat LLC makes no guarantee that using the Jester Combat Arm will improve a user's martial arts skills, reflexes, coordination, speed, accuracy, defensive ability, or athletic performance.
Individual results vary depending on numerous factors, including training experience, technique, consistency, physical condition, instruction, and proper product use.
Purchasing or using the Jester Combat Arm does not guarantee proficiency in boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, mixed martial arts, or any other discipline.
### 7. Product Inspection and Reporting of Defects
Customers must inspect the Jester Combat Arm and all included mounting components before use and periodically throughout the product's service life.
Do not use the product if any component is damaged, defective, deteriorated, loose, or improperly secured. Contact Jester Combat LLC regarding suspected product defects and discontinue use until the issue has been appropriately addressed.
Nothing in this section limits any rights or remedies available to a customer under applicable product safety or consumer protection laws.
### 8. Acceptance of Terms
By purchasing the Jester Combat Arm, the purchaser acknowledges that they have had the opportunity to review this disclaimer and understand that martial arts training involves physical risks.
By using the product, the user acknowledges responsibility for following the product instructions, exercising reasonable care, and determining whether the activity is appropriate for their physical condition.
Where a separate, legally enforceable assumption-of-risk agreement or release is required, additional affirmative consent may be necessary. Merely displaying this notice on a website or completing a purchase may not establish enforceable consent to every provision.
### 9. Governing Law and Severability
This disclaimer shall be interpreted in accordance with applicable laws, including the laws of the State of Texas where legally applicable.
If any provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or severed to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain effective to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Nothing in this disclaimer is intended to deprive consumers of mandatory rights under applicable federal or state law.

**IMPORTANT:** This disclaimer is intended to communicate product risks and establish reasonable expectations for purchasers and users. It is not a guarantee against lawsuits or legal liability. Jester Combat LLC should have this document reviewed by a qualified attorney familiar with Texas product liability, consumer protection, and enforceable liability waivers before relying on it as a legal release.
### Recommended implementation on JesterCombat.com
I recommend placing this notice in three locations:
* Product page: A visible safety disclaimer near the Add to Cart button, with a link to the full notice.
* Checkout: A required, unchecked acknowledgment checkbox linking to the full disclaimer before the customer completes the purchase.
* Website footer: A permanent link titled “Legal Disclaimer & Product Safety.”
For stronger documentation, retain the version of the terms accepted, the date and time of acceptance, and the relevant order record.
One final recommendation: Have a Texas product-liability attorney review the notice, particularly the provisions addressing affiliates, personal injuries, product defects, and any release of negligence claims. A website disclaimer alone may not protect Jester Combat LLC from liability for a defective product or other legally non-waivable claims.
