Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 24 October 2026

1. About these terms

These terms apply when you use theproof.com, take part in the Living Proof Challenge, use the Longevity Score calculator, or buy anything from us. By doing any of those things, you agree to them.

“We”, “us”, and “The Proof” mean The Proof Pty Ltd (ABN 58 623 758 869), PO Box 1992, Byron Bay NSW 2481, Australia. “You” means the person using our website, programs, or products.

You must be 18 or over to use our programs and services, or to enter your results into the Longevity Score calculator.

Some programs or products may have extra terms, which we’ll show you before you sign up or buy. If those terms conflict with these, the specific terms apply.

2. Medical disclaimer – health information, not medical advice

Everything we publish – the podcast, articles, guides, the Living Proof Challenge, and the Longevity Score – is general health education based on published research. It isn’t medical advice and doesn’t replace advice from your own doctor or health professional.

Our content isn’t intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition, and using it doesn’t create a doctor–patient relationship with Simon Hill or anyone at The Proof.

Podcast guests share their own views, which aren’t necessarily ours. Where we mention a food, supplement, test, product, or partner, it’s general information, not a recommendation that it’s right for you.

Everyone’s health is different, and we don’t promise any particular result from following our content or taking part in the Living Proof Challenge.

Before you change your diet, exercise, medication, or supplements – especially if you’re pregnant, have a health condition, or take medication – talk to your doctor. Never ignore medical advice or delay getting it because of something you read or heard from us. If you think you have a medical emergency, call 000 (or your local emergency number).

3. The Living Proof Challenge

The Living Proof Challenge is a free 12-week program of longevity habits. It isn’t a competition: there are no prizes, rankings, or winners.

Taking part safely. Some measurements in the challenge involve physical effort, including VO2 max estimates, push-ups, sit-to-stand, dead hangs, and grip strength. Before you do them:

  • Check with your doctor first if you have a heart, lung, joint, or other health condition, are pregnant, take medication that affects your heart rate or blood pressure, or haven’t exercised in a while. Sports Medicine Australia’s Adult Pre-Exercise Screening Tool is a quick way to check.
  • Follow the instructions in our home test guides, warm up, and stop straight away if you feel pain, chest discomfort, dizziness, or unusual breathlessness.
  • Only do what’s safe for you. Skipping a test is fine – the Longevity Score only counts the markers you enter.

You take part at your own risk, to the extent the law allows (see section 9).

Emails. When you join, we’ll email you the challenge content. You can unsubscribe from any email at any time, and you can leave the challenge whenever you like.

Changes. We may change the challenge content, dates, or format, or stop running it. If a change significantly affects you, we’ll let you know.

4. The Longevity Score calculator

The Longevity Score is a free educational tool. It compares the measurements you enter with targets drawn from published research and gives you a score: Core is out of 5 and Full Proof is out of 10, counting only the markers you fill in.

  • It’s not a diagnosis. Your score doesn’t predict how long you’ll live or tell you whether you have or will get a disease. Talk to your doctor about your results, especially anything outside the healthy range.
  • It’s only as accurate as what you enter. Measurements from home tests, wearables, and lab reports vary, and you’re responsible for entering them correctly.
  • The method can change. We may update the markers, targets, or scoring as the evidence changes. How it works today is explained in The Proof Longevity Score – How It Works. A score from one version may not be directly comparable with another.
  • Saving your results. To calculate and save your score, you need to tick the consent box. We then store your results with your name and email so you can compare them over time, and use them without your name or email in The Proof’s analysis of how the Living Proof Challenge changes people’s health. Our Privacy Policy explains how we protect this information and how to ask us to delete it.
  • Sharing your score. The story images are for you to share if you want to. If you add a photo, it’s used to create the image on your device.

5. Purchases, refunds, and the Australian Consumer Law

Prices are shown in the currency displayed at checkout and include any taxes we’re required to charge. Payments are processed securely by our payment providers (currently Stripe, including Link and Klarna); we don’t store your full card details.

Your rights under the law. Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with a service, you are entitled to cancel your service contract with us and to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value. You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done, you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service. Customers outside Australia may have similar rights under their local laws.

Change of mind. Unless a specific program or product says otherwise when you buy it, we don’t offer refunds if you simply change your mind once you’ve accessed digital content. This doesn’t limit your rights above.

Payment plans. If you choose a payment plan, you agree to pay each instalment when it’s due. If a payment fails, we’ll let you know and may pause your access until it’s paid.

To ask about a refund or a problem with something you bought, email hello@theproof.com.

6. Our content and intellectual property

The Proof’s podcast episodes, articles, guides, PDFs, challenge materials, the Longevity Score method, logos, and other content belong to us or the people who license them to us.

You’re welcome to use them for your own personal, non-commercial use, and to share links to our pages. Please don’t copy, republish, sell, or adapt our content, or use it to train or build other products, without our written permission. To ask, email hello@theproof.com.

7. Your content, shared images, and community conduct

If you share your Longevity Score image, tag us, or send us a comment, story, or photo, you still own it. We won’t repost or publish your image, name, or story without asking you first.

In our communities and comments, please be respectful. Don’t post anything unlawful, abusive, misleading, or promotional, or share other people’s personal or health information. We may remove content or end access for anyone who breaks these rules.

8. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what personal and health information we collect, how we use and protect it, how long we keep it, and how to access, correct, or delete it. It forms part of these terms. If you’re in the US, our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy also applies.

9. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or changes any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that can’t be excluded.

Subject to that:

  • We work hard to keep our content accurate and up to date, but research changes and we can’t promise that everything is complete, current, or right for your situation.
  • We aren’t liable for any injury, loss, or damage that results from you relying on our general health information, doing exercise or tests without suitable medical advice, or entering inaccurate results – except where the loss is caused by our negligence or breach of these terms.
  • We aren’t liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as lost income or opportunity.
  • Where the law lets us limit our liability for a failure to meet a consumer guarantee, our liability is limited to supplying the services again or paying for them to be supplied again, or, for goods, replacing or repairing them or paying for that.
  • Our website may link to other sites, such as labs, test providers, or research papers. We don’t control them and aren’t responsible for their content.

10. Disputes and governing law

If something goes wrong, please email hello@theproof.com first and tell us what happened. We’ll try to resolve it with you within 30 days.

These terms are governed by the law of New South Wales, Australia, and you and we agree to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales. If you live outside Australia, you may also have rights under the consumer laws where you live, and nothing in these terms takes those away.

11. Changes and contact

We may update these terms from time to time, for example when we change our programs or the law changes. We’ll post the new version here with the date it takes effect, and email you about significant changes if you’re in the challenge or a paid program. Changes don’t apply to purchases made before they take effect.

If any part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies.
