1. Agreement & Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Step Counter Free (accessible via https://stepcounterfree.com/, hereinafter referred to as "the Website," "the Platform," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Step Counter Free concerning your access to and use of our web application, tools, and digital resources.
By accessing or using Step Counter Free, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of these Terms. If you do not agree with all of these terms, you are expressly prohibited from using the site and must discontinue use immediately.
2. Medical & Fitness Disclaimer (Critical Notice)
The content, step counting tools, cadence pacers, heart rate counters, calorie estimates, and treadmill calculators provided on Step Counter Free are designed exclusively for general informational, educational, and fitness monitoring purposes. Nothing on this website constitutes professional medical advice, clinical diagnosis, or prescriptive health treatment.
Before undertaking any new walking regimen, physical exercise program, or dietary hydration schedule—particularly if you are pregnant, elderly, or have a pre-existing cardiovascular, respiratory, orthopedic, or metabolic condition—you should always consult a qualified physician or healthcare provider.
Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on, or calculated with, Step Counter Free. If you experience dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, or extreme fatigue while walking or exercising, stop immediately and seek emergency medical attention.
3. Algorithmic Approximations & Sensor Variance
Step Counter Free utilizes mathematical models, digital signal processing algorithms, and your device's built-in accelerometer to estimate step counts, cadence (steps per minute), distance traveled, and caloric burn:
- Kinematic Approximations: Actual step accuracy is contingent on numerous real-world variables, including hardware accelerometer calibration, mobile operating system version, walking surface, footwear, gait mechanics, and device carrying position (pocket, hand, armband, or purse).
- Caloric Estimation: Calorie estimates are modeled on metabolic equivalents (METs) from the Compendium of Physical Activities and represent theoretical population averages. They do not substitute for clinical indirect calorimetry.
- No Guarantee of Flawless Metrics: We make no express or implied warranty that step metrics, distances, or speeds will match medical-grade actigraphy devices or specialized commercial laboratory equipment.
