Terms of Service

Acceptance

By using raacon.no you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site. raacon/ is operated by Raadig AS, organisation number NO 833 209 132, registered in Norway.

What you may use the tools for

raacon/ is free for personal, coaching and commercial use. You need no licence, permission or attribution to use a calculator here and act on the result — including with athletes you coach, in a product you sell, or in training material.

Your data and results are yours. We claim no rights over the activity files you process, the converted output, or any plan or figure you produce with the tools. We never see them, and we assert no ownership of them.

What you may not do

• Interfere with, disrupt or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the service
• Automate requests at a volume that degrades the site for other people
• Use the tools to process content that is illegal where you are
• Republish the site's written explanations wholesale as your own

Not medical advice

This is the important one. Nothing on raacon/ is medical advice, a diagnosis, or a substitute for professional guidance. The tools produce estimates from published formulas, and estimates are not measurements.

A TDEE figure is a statistical starting point, not your metabolic rate. A VO2max estimate from a race time is a model, not a lab test. Heart rate zones from an age formula are a rough bracket — the standard 220-minus-age maximum has a standard deviation of roughly ±10–12 beats per minute, so it is wrong for a large share of people by a margin that matters.

Before starting a new training programme, making significant dietary changes, or acting on any figure produced here, consult a doctor or a qualified professional — particularly if you have a known medical condition, are pregnant, or are returning to exercise after injury or a long break.

Accuracy, and why you should still check

raacon/ is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including as to accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability.

Sports science rarely has one accepted formula. Body fat estimates, running power, training load and race prediction all have several competing published models that disagree with each other, sometimes substantially. Where a tool and another service differ, the usual explanation is a different underlying equation rather than an error. Each tool states which method it uses.

File conversion is held to a stricter standard: a converted FIT, TCX or GPX file should faithfully represent the original. If a conversion drops or corrupts data, that is a bug — please report it.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Raadig AS shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profit or business, arising from your use of or inability to use the service — including damages resulting from reliance on an estimate produced here.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under Norwegian law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Consumers retain all mandatory rights under Norwegian and EEA consumer law.

Availability

The site is offered without any uptime guarantee. We may modify, suspend or discontinue any tool at any time. Because everything runs in your browser, an outage affects reaching the site rather than any stored data — there is none to lose.

Intellectual property

The raacon/ name, logo, site design and written content are the property of Raadig AS. The open-source libraries the site is built on remain subject to their own licences. You may quote short passages with attribution and a link; reproducing whole pages is not permitted without written permission.

Advertising and third-party services

raacon/ carries advertising through Google AdSense, which operates under its own terms and privacy policy. See the privacy policy for what that means for your data. Device and platform names — Garmin, Polar, Suunto, COROS, Wahoo and others — are trademarks of their respective owners, and raacon/ is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any of them.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated as the site changes. The date at the top reflects the current version, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Norwegian law. Disputes shall be brought before the Norwegian courts, without prejudice to any mandatory right a consumer has to bring proceedings in their own country of residence.
