Terms of Service

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Pikmate Limited and Fitmate Coach US Inc. trading as Fitmate Coach (“Fitmate Coach”, “Pikmate,” “we,” or “us”) and our website at www.fitmatecoach.com, along with our related websites, hosted applications, and mobile applications, and other services provided by us (collectively, the “Service”). These Terms of Service are a legally binding contract between you and Fitmate Coach regarding your use of the Service.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY:

BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT,” OR BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND, AS A CONDITION TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING FITMATE COACH’S PRIVACY POLICY (TOGETHER, THESE “TERMS”). IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE, OR DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION TO USE THE SERVICE. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, AND FITMATE COACH’S PROVISION OF THE SERVICE TO YOU, CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT BY FITMATE COACH AND BY YOU TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. 

YOU AGREE TO RECEIVE TEXTS FROM OR ON BEHALF OF FITMATE COACH AT THE PHONE NUMBER YOU PROVIDE TO US. THESE TEXTS WILL INCLUDE INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE SERVICE. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THESE TEXTS MAY BE CONSIDERED TELEMARKETING UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THEY MAY BE SENT USING AN AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE DIALING SYSTEM OR OTHER AUTOMATED TECHNOLOGY, AND YOUR CONSENT IS NOT A CONDITION OF ANY PURCHASE.

ARBITRATION NOTICE. Except for certain kinds of disputes described in Section 18, you agree that disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND FITMATE COACH ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

1.       Fitmate Coach Service Overview.  Fitmate Coach provides a holistic, scientifically based, personalized health coaching program that is tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle through our Fitmate Coach application (the “App”).Once you provide initial information to help us understand your weight loss and fitness goals, we personalize our program to match your specific needs and lifestyle. We provide you with support and accountability through the App and an assigned coach. We recommend that you work with your coach on a weekly basis to tailor your nutrition and exercise goals to add new goals and address challenges as they come up. The App is designed with input from top nutrition and fitness experts, however, as the App is a wellness weight loss tool and not a medically supervised intervention monitored by a medical professional, Fitmate Coach is not able to manage and coordinate the medical care that is required for a vulnerable individual, pregnant individual, an individual who has an eating disorder, or an individual who is considered underweight with a BMI under 18.5. So, if you have any contra indications to weight loss or exercise including, but not limited to: chest pains, shortness of breath, cardio risk factors or are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, have an eating disorder, and/or have a BMI under 18.5, you are not eligible to use the Service. Breast feeding women, and people with other significant health problems such as kidney disease, diabetes or psychiatric disorder(s) (related to weight loss, including but not limited to Bulimia or Anorexia) should not begin this program without written authorization by their primary care provider.  People under treatment for other conditions or taking medications prescribed by their health care provider should tell their providers that they have begun this program because, in some cases, adjustments to medications or modifications to a weight loss program may be appropriate. Most people who lose weight are likely to find it difficult to keep the weight off. They can improve their chances by adopting a lifelong commitment that includes: increased frequent and regular physical activity of at least moderate intensity, and healthy eating in accordance with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, emphasizing a reduction in total calories, a lowered fat consumption, and an increase in vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Moreover, maintaining a modest amount of weight loss over time has been shown to have health benefits.

FITMATE COACH DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICE, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND FITMATE COACH DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THOSE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED.

ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF YOUR PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTH CARE PROVIDER REGARDING AN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL CONDITION OR NEED FOR IN PERSON TREATMENT. IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL YOUR DOCTOR OR 911 IMMEDIATELY.

16.2. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICE OR FITMATE COACH ENTITIES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE FITMATE COACH ENTITIES OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE SERVICE AND YOUR DEALING WITH ANY OTHER SERVICE USER. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY (INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE) OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, INCLUDING USER CONTENT.

16.3. THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION 16 APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Fitmate Coach does not disclaim any warranty or other right that Fitmate Coach is prohibited from disclaiming under applicable law.

17. Limitation of Liability

17.1. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE FITMATE COACH ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY FITMATE COACH ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.

17.2. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 18.5 AND 18.6 AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE FITMATE COACH ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (a) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO FITMATE COACH FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (b) US$100.

17.3. EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 17 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

18. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

18.1. Generally. Except as described in Section 18.2 and 18.3, you and Fitmate Coach agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND FITMATE COACH ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

18.2. Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

‍18.3. Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 18 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Fitmate Coach Limited, Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, Gothic House, Barker Gate, Nottingham, England, NG1 1JU that specifies: your full legal name, telephone number, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Fitmate Coach receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 18 will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 19.2. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.

18.4. Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Fitmate Coach. 

18.5. Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Fitmate Coach's address for Notice is: Fitmate Coach Limited, Gothic House, Barker Gate, Nottingham, England, NG1 1JU. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Fitmate Coach may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Fitmate Coach will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if the Company has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to AAA.

18.6. Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your billing address unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Fitmate Coach must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. 

18.7. Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in Section 18.8, the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Fitmate Coach before an arbitrator was selected, Fitmate Coach will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

18.8. No Class Actions. YOU AND FITMATE COACH AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Fitmate Coach agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.  

18.9. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Fitmate Coach makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Fitmate Coach's address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Fitmate Coach will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.

18.10. Enforceability. If Section 18.8 or the entirety of this Section 18 is found to be unenforceable, or if Fitmate Coach receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 18 will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 19.2 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms. 

19. Miscellaneous

19.1. General Terms.

The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of Section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to.” If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.

21. Refer a friend promotion.
‍How it works:

1. You share your unique referral link with friends. You can access this in the app after your trial has ended and we've taken your first payment (if applicable).
2. Your friends sign up using the referral link and receive a discount on their first month’s Fitmate subscription.
3. After your friend's first payment is taken (after their trial has ended), you'll get a discount on your next month's Fitmate subscription. This will be automatically applied.
4. You can receive multiple discounts by referring up to 5 friends. However, you can only use one discount at a time.

21.1 The discounts available
‍Referrers in US/Canada will get $40 (USD) off their Fitmate subscription. Referrers in the UK will get £30 (GBP) off.
Friends in US/Canada will receive $40 (USD) off their first month. Friends in the UK will receive £30 (GBP) off their first month.
Referrer discounts will be applied one month at a time to your upcoming payment — you cannot receive money back for past subscription payments.
In the event you have multiple refer-a-friend discounts, you'll need to use them across multiple months. For example, if you've earned $80 from referring 2 friends, then we'll discount $40 off your monthly payments for the next 2 months.
Referrers and friends cannot receive a discount that is more than the undiscounted monthly subscription payment and no cash equivalent is offered.

21.2 Eligibility
- The promotion is only available for referrers who live in the US, Canada or the UK.
- Users who sign up using the referral link need to live in the US, Canada or the UK. Referrers will not receive discounts for users who sign up using their referral link outside of these countries.
- If your friends cancel during their trial, then you won't receive a referral discount.
- If your employer is paying for Fitmate or you're benefitting from a separate continuous promotional discount, you can request a referral link from your coach to get the discount off your friends' first month. However, you will not be eligible to receive the refer-a-friend discounts for your own subscription.
- Friends who sign up using the referral link cannot use another promotion or discount simultaneously.

‍21.3 Restrictions
‍We appreciate you sharing your unique referral link far and wide with folks you know. But if we suspect that you're exploiting the offer (for example, paying for advertising to promote your link) then we have the right to stop providing you with any referral discounts you’ve earned. We'll contact you to tell you that we've done this.

We can also freeze your link and stop providing you with any referral discounts if:
- we suspect any fraudulent, abusive or suspicious behaviour.
- you’ve stopped your Fitmate subscription

We may change or withdraw the refer-a-friend promotion at any time.

‍21.4 Data sharing
‍We may share updates with the referrer on the status of their referrals.
