Parent Consent and Sensor Use Acknowledgment
Last updated: May 24, 2026. Effective: January 1, 2026.
Plain-English purpose: HyperPulse is a parent-managed athletic performance sensor. It is not protective equipment, not emergency monitoring, not medical advice, and not a substitute for coaches, athletic trainers, physicians, officials, or league rules.
1. Parent or Guardian Authority
By activating, purchasing, reserving, testing, or using HyperPulse for a minor athlete, you represent that you are the athlete's parent or legal guardian, or that you have documented authority from the parent or legal guardian to manage the athlete's participation and data.
You are responsible for obtaining any additional consent required by your team, school, club, league, athletic association, facility, or event organizer before the sensor is used.
2. Athletic Risk Acknowledgment
Sports and athletic activity involve inherent risks, including falls, collisions, contact with other athletes, overexertion, dehydration, heat exposure, equipment failure, surface hazards, and other known or unknown risks. These risks exist whether or not an athlete wears HyperPulse.
HyperPulse does not prevent injury, reduce the risk of injury, detect injury, predict injury, identify unsafe play, or determine whether an athlete should start, continue, pause, or stop athletic activity.
No safety reliance: Never rely on HyperPulse to decide whether an athlete is safe, healthy, injured, overheated, concussed, fatigued, dehydrated, or ready to return to play.
3. Not a Medical Device
HyperPulse is a training-grade athletic performance tool. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, monitor, or prevent any disease, injury, illness, concussion, cardiac event, heat illness, dehydration, or other medical condition.
HyperPulse output, including any dashboard, metric, alert, export, trend, score, notification, or summary, is for athletic performance context only and is not medical advice, clinical guidance, emergency monitoring, or return-to-play guidance.
Always follow applicable concussion protocols, emergency action plans, athletic association rules, school policies, team policies, and medical professional instructions regardless of anything shown in HyperPulse.
4. Performance Data Is Estimated
HyperPulse metrics are estimates derived from onboard sensors, firmware, signal conditions, battery state, placement, fit, sport movement, phone proximity, and software processing. Data may be inaccurate, delayed, incomplete, duplicated, missing, or unavailable.
HyperPulse data must not be used as the sole basis for medical decisions, official scoring, officiating, athlete eligibility, scholarship decisions, player selection, disciplinary decisions, or any other high-stakes determination.
5. Device Fit, Placement, and Physical Use
The sensor must be secured according to current HyperPulse instructions and must not be used if the case, tape, battery, wire, connector, enclosure, edge, screw, lid, or any other part appears damaged, loose, sharp, swollen, hot, cracked, or unsafe.
Stop use immediately if the athlete reports discomfort, pain, itching, rash, skin irritation, pressure, heat, pinching, or distraction. Remove the sensor if it becomes loose or shifts during activity.
The sensor is not protective equipment. It does not replace pads, helmets, braces, certified sports equipment, coaching supervision, or medical oversight.
6. Contact Sports and Competition Approval
For any contact, collision, full-contact, or sanctioned competition setting, the parent, coach, school, or team must confirm permission with the applicable league, state association, governing body, event organizer, and official before use.
Officials and governing bodies may disallow any equipment they consider unsafe or impermissible. HyperPulse does not guarantee approval for any sport, event, school, league, state association, or competition.
7. Battery, Charging, and Hardware Safety
Use only approved batteries, cables, chargers, and handling instructions provided or approved by HyperPulse. Do not use a battery or sensor that is swollen, punctured, hot, wet, crushed, leaking, miswired, reversed in polarity, or physically damaged.
Do not charge unattended, inside athletic gear, on flammable surfaces, or while worn by an athlete. Stop charging and disconnect power immediately if heat, odor, smoke, swelling, discoloration, or abnormal behavior occurs.
8. Parent Data Consent
You consent to the collection, processing, transmission, storage, and display of athlete performance and device data as described in the HyperPulse Privacy Policy and COPPA Notice. For athletes under 13, verifiable parent or guardian consent is required before any child-related personal information is collected.
You control whether data is shared with coaches, schools, scouts, other parents, medical professionals, or third parties through available sharing features. Do not share athlete data unless you have authority to do so.
