Terms of Use

These are the plain terms on which TripKinetics (“we”, “us”) is offered. By using the site you accept them. If you do not, please do not rely on the content.

General information, not advice

Everything on this site is general information about travelling and flying while recovering from surgery or injury. It is not medical advice and it is not a substitute for the surgeon or doctor treating you. Nothing here creates a clinical relationship, and nothing here is a personal clearance to travel. The full limits are set out on the Medical Disclaimer page, which forms part of these terms.

Decisions you make from the content

Fitness to fly timings, clot risk figures and travel precautions on this site are general guides, not a green light for your particular case. The decision to travel, and any decision to wait, to seek clearance or to change a plan, is yours to make with your treating clinician. To the fullest extent the law allows, I accept no liability for any loss, harm or cost arising from decisions made in reliance on the content of this site. Where anything here is required to work with a legal right that cannot be excluded, nothing in these terms removes that right.

Accuracy and currency

I take care that figures are accurate when written and reviewed, and the medical content is checked by a Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine, as described in the Editorial Policy. Even so, airline rules, insurance conditions and clinical guidance change, and content can date. The site is provided as it stands, without a guarantee that every figure is current for your carrier, your country or your case. Always confirm the current position with your airline, your insurer and your clinician.

Links to other sites

Where I link to outside organisations, those links are for convenience and further reading. I do not control that content and cannot vouch for its accuracy. A link is not an endorsement, and what happens on another site is governed by that site’s own terms and privacy policy.

Intellectual property

The writing, structure and original material on this site are mine unless stated otherwise. You are welcome to read it, and to share a link or a short quotation with credit. Please do not republish whole articles, or copy the content wholesale, without permission. Trademarks and material belonging to the outside bodies I cite remain theirs.

Changes to these terms

I may revise these terms as the site develops. The “Last updated” date above shows the version in force, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms. If a passage is unclear, the Contact page reaches me.
