TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: February 4, 2026

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

By accessing or using ThrowCheck ("Service"), operated by Paternal Path ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Paternal Path. By creating an account, uploading content, or using any features of the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

2. SERVICE DESCRIPTION

ThrowCheck provides AI-powered biomechanical analysis of baseball pitching mechanics. Our Service uses computer vision and machine learning algorithms (including Google MediaPipe) to analyze uploaded video footage and generate risk assessments related to pitching injury probability.

The Service includes:

  • Video upload and processing capabilities
  • Pose detection and joint angle measurement
  • Biomechanical risk scoring (0-100 scale)
  • Identification of high-risk movement patterns
  • Historical tracking and trend analysis (Pro and Team tiers)
  • Data export and API access (Team tier)

3. MEDICAL DISCLAIMER

THROWCHECK IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL CONSULTATION, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT.

The Service provides biomechanical analysis for informational and entertainment purposes only. All risk scores, flags, and analysis outputs are probabilistic estimates based on limited video data and should not be used as the sole basis for medical, training, or athletic decisions.

You should always consult with qualified healthcare providers, certified athletic trainers, and sports medicine professionals before making decisions about pitching workload, mechanics modification, injury prevention, rehabilitation, or return-to-play protocols.

ThrowCheck does not diagnose medical conditions, does not predict injuries with certainty, and does not provide personalized medical recommendations. Use of this Service does not create a physician-patient, trainer-athlete, or any other professional-client relationship.

3B. REGULATORY NOTICE

ThrowCheck is a general wellness and fitness informational tool. It is NOT a medical device, is NOT cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is NOT intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease or medical condition. The Service does not provide clinical assessments and should not be used as a substitute for evaluation by a licensed healthcare professional, certified athletic trainer, or sports medicine specialist.

3A. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

You acknowledge that baseball pitching involves inherent physical risks. ThrowCheck is an informational tool and does not eliminate, reduce, or predict injury with certainty. By using this Service, you assume all risk associated with athletic activities and agree that Paternal Path is not responsible for any injuries sustained during training, practice, or competition, regardless of whether you relied on information from this Service.

4. NO GUARANTEES OF ACCURACY

While we strive for accuracy, we make no guarantees, warranties, or representations regarding the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of any analysis, risk score, or output generated by the Service.

Factors that may affect accuracy include:

  • Video quality, camera angle, and lighting conditions
  • Limitations of pose detection algorithms
  • Individual biomechanical variations not captured by our models
  • Evolving scientific understanding of injury mechanics
  • Differences between controlled and game environments

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

4A. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DISCLOSURE

The Service uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, including Google MediaPipe for pose estimation, to generate biomechanical analysis. AI-generated outputs are probabilistic estimates, not deterministic measurements. Results may vary based on video quality, camera angle, lighting conditions, and other factors. The AI models have not been clinically validated and should be interpreted as informational guidance only.

5. AGE REQUIREMENT

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. If you are under 18, you may only use the Service with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these age requirements.
