Terms of Service
Medical & Fitness Disclaimer
Not Medical Advice. The Method MD ("the App") is a fitness and nutrition planning tool designed for general wellness purposes only. The App is not a medical device, does not provide medical advice, medical diagnoses, or treatment recommendations, and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a qualified healthcare provider.
Consult Your Physician. You should consult your physician or other qualified healthcare provider before beginning any exercise program, dietary plan, or nutrition regimen presented in this App, particularly if you: have a pre-existing medical condition or injury; are pregnant or nursing; are taking prescription medication; have a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or other cardiovascular conditions; have diabetes or metabolic disorders; have an eating disorder or history of disordered eating; or have any musculoskeletal limitations or chronic pain.
Assumption of Risk. By using this App, you acknowledge and agree that: all exercise carries inherent risk of injury; the workout programs, exercise demonstrations, and loading prescriptions are general recommendations and may not be appropriate for your specific physical condition; the nutritional information, meal plans, macro calculations, and caloric targets are estimates based on general formulas (Mifflin-St Jeor) and may not reflect your individual metabolic needs; and you voluntarily assume all risks associated with using the App's fitness and nutrition recommendations.
AI Coach Disclaimer. The App includes an AI-powered coaching feature that provides general fitness and nutrition guidance. The AI Coach is not a licensed personal trainer, registered dietitian, nutritionist, or medical professional. AI-generated responses are for informational and motivational purposes only. You should not rely on AI Coach responses as a substitute for professional guidance. The AI Coach may generate responses that are inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate for your specific situation.
GLP-1 Medication Disclaimer. Users on GLP-1 receptor agonist medications (semaglutide, tirzepatide, or similar) should consult their prescribing physician before modifying dietary intake. The GLP-1 Companion mode provides modified portion guidance but is not a substitute for medical nutritional counseling.
Allergies & Dietary Restrictions. Meal plans and recipes in the App may contain common allergens including but not limited to: nuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, eggs, dairy, soy, wheat, and gluten. You are solely responsible for reviewing all recipe ingredients for allergens and dietary conflicts before consumption. The App's dietary track filters (omnivore, vegetarian, vegan) reduce but do not eliminate allergen exposure risk. Always verify ingredient labels and cross-contamination risks independently.
Halal-Friendly & Kosher-Friendly Filters. The App offers optional halal-friendly and kosher-friendly dietary filters that remove common prohibited ingredients (such as pork, alcohol, shellfish, gelatin, lard, and dairy-meat combinations) from meal recommendations. These filters are simplified convenience tools and do not constitute halal certification, kosher certification, or religious endorsement of any kind. Certification requires supply-chain verification, supervised preparation, and religious authority oversight that a software application cannot provide. You are solely responsible for verifying that all foods meet your personal religious dietary standards before consumption.
Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, The Method MD, its creators, developers, affiliates, and licensors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising from or related to your use of the App, including but not limited to: physical injury, illness, or death resulting from exercise or dietary recommendations; adverse reactions to foods, supplements, or nutritional advice; inaccurate caloric, macro, or nutritional calculations; data loss, service interruptions, or technical failures; or reliance on AI-generated coaching responses.
Terms
Acceptance of Terms. By creating an account, accessing, or using The Method MD, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of the App. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use after modifications constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years of age to use the App. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. The App is not intended for use by minors.
Account & Security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to: provide accurate, current, and complete registration information; maintain and update your information to keep it accurate and current; notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account; and not share, sell, or transfer your account to any third party. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
Subscription & Payment. The App operates on a paid subscription model. By subscribing, you agree to: pay all applicable fees at the prices in effect at the time of purchase; authorize recurring charges to your payment method at the interval you selected (monthly or annual); and acknowledge that subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the renewal date. All fees are charged in US Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated. Prices are subject to change with 30 days' advance notice to active subscribers.
Intellectual Property. All content within the App — including but not limited to the "Movement Design" training methodology, cultural cuisine intelligence system, exercise programming, meal plans, recipe databases, AI coaching prompts, user interface design, brand assets, logos, and software code — is the exclusive intellectual property of Pattern.81 LLC (d/b/a The Method MD) and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not: copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App; reverse-engineer or attempt to extract source code; use the App's content to train, develop, or improve competing products or AI systems; or reproduce the training programs, meal plans, or proprietary methodologies for commercial purposes without prior written consent.
Faith-Based Dietary Filters. The halal-friendly and kosher-friendly dietary filters are simplified convenience tools that remove common prohibited ingredients. They do not constitute religious certification, rabbinical supervision, or halal certification. Users with strict religious dietary requirements should independently verify all ingredients against their personal standards and religious authorities.
Acceptable Use. You agree not to: use the App for any unlawful purpose; attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App's systems or other user accounts; interfere with or disrupt the App's infrastructure; upload malicious code, viruses, or harmful data; misrepresent your identity or health information; or use the App in any manner that could damage, disable, or impair the service.
Termination. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at our sole discretion if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or for any other reason we deem necessary to protect our users or business. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately. Sections regarding intellectual property, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution survive termination.
Governing Law & Dispute Resolution. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Miami-Dade County, Florida, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You agree to waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Upon cancellation: your access continues through the end of your current billing period; no further charges will be applied after the current period expires; your workout logs and progress data remain accessible until the billing period ends; and after the billing period ends, your account enters a 30-day grace period during which you can reactivate without losing data.
Refunds. Monthly subscriptions: no refunds are issued for partial months. If you cancel mid-cycle, you retain access for the remainder of the paid period. Annual subscriptions: a pro-rated refund may be issued within the first 14 days of the subscription if the App has not been substantially used (fewer than 3 workout logs and fewer than 7 days of meal tracking). After 14 days, annual subscriptions are non-refundable but may be cancelled to prevent renewal. Refund requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Technical issues, service outages, or billing errors may qualify for additional refund consideration.
Free Trial. If a free trial is offered, you will not be charged during the trial period. Your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless cancelled before the trial period expires. You will be notified before the trial ends.
Price Changes. We reserve the right to modify subscription pricing. Existing subscribers will receive 30 days' advance notice of any price increase. Price changes do not affect the current billing cycle. You may cancel before the new pricing takes effect.
