4. Client Responsibilities

The Client agrees to:

• Provide accurate, honest, and complete health and training information

• Disclose all medical conditions, medications, and supplement use

• Inform Honey n Coconut of any changes in health status

• Follow agreed protocols responsibly

The Client acknowledges that making competition weight remains their responsibility.

Results depend on adherence, training load, physiology, and other external factors.

​

5. Medical Disclaimer

Honey n Coconut is not a medical provider.

The Client must consult a qualified healthcare professional before implementing significant dietary or weight manipulation strategies, particularly where pre-existing conditions exist.

If medical risk, disordered eating behaviours, or RED-S indicators are identified, services may be paused pending medical review.

​

6. Weight Management Risk

Combat sport weight management carries inherent risks including dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, fatigue, dizziness, cognitive impairment, and performance reduction.

While evidence-based strategies are used, Honey n Coconut does not guarantee weight attainment or competition outcomes.

Any independent or extreme weight manipulation undertaken outside agreed protocols is at the Client’s own risk.

​

7. Supplements & Anti-Doping

Supplement guidance is educational in nature.

Athletes are subject to strict liability under UK Anti-Doping (UKAD), WADA, or other governing bodies.

The Client accepts sole responsibility for any substance ingested.

Honey n Coconut does not guarantee that any supplement is free from contamination or prohibited substances.

remain the intellectual property of Honey n Coconut.

The Client is granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence for personal use only.

The Client may not reproduce, distribute, share, publish, sell, or otherwise exploit any materials without prior written consent.

Unauthorised distribution may result in legal action.

​

9. Confidentiality & Data Protection

All personal and health information shall be processed in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

In such circumstances, no refund will be issued.

​

16. Independent Actions & Deviation from Agreed Protocol

The Client acknowledges that all nutrition guidance provided by Honey n Coconut applies solely to the specific plan, protocol, and recommendations agreed between the parties.

Honey n Coconut shall not be responsible or liable for any actions, strategies, dietary changes, supplementation, dehydration methods, or weight manipulation practices undertaken by the Client that are:

• Not expressly discussed and agreed in writing;

• Modified without consultation;

• Implemented contrary to provided guidance;

• Sourced from third parties, including coaches, teammates, online sources, or other practitioners;

• Undertaken independently outside the agreed nutrition protocol.

The Client accepts full responsibility for any consequences, health outcomes, performance changes, anti-doping violations, or competition results arising from such independent actions.

Honey n Coconut shall not be liable for any adverse outcomes resulting from deviation from the agreed plan or failure to disclose relevant information prior to implementing changes.

​

The Client further acknowledges that any rapid weight reduction, dehydration practice, supplement use, or dietary adjustment undertaken without prior disclosure and confirmation from Honey n Coconut is done entirely at the Client’s own risk.
