GROUNDS APP LLC TERMS AND CONDITIONS
About Grounds App LLC
The Grounds digital applications (App) and fitness and nutrition services and products (Fitness Products) are available via our website at www.groundsapp.co (Website). These platforms are owned by Grounds App LLC (‘Grounds’, ‘we’, ‘our’, or ‘us’).
Grounds offers various Fitness Products that are showcased on the Website and can be purchased in-app through Apple and Google. These include, but are not limited to:
Digital Products:
- Monthly Subscription. Available on our mobile application for Android and iOS, which can be downloaded to your mobile device.
- Annual Subscription. This can also be accessed via our mobile application for Android and iOS.
Disclaimer
‘Grounds’ does not provide personal training in person, or individually tailored exercise, fitness, or nutrition advice. The fitness programs and nutritional guidelines provided by Grounds (Programs) are generic, based on the individuals’ goals provided during the sign-up process on the App or Website. We recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before beginning any fitness program.
- Once a subscription is purchased via the Grounds App or the Website (www.groundsapp.co), the buyer will receive the requested number of months of app access. App access can be purchased for 1 month or 12 months. This period starts from the date the account is created and payment is made. If a free trial or other promotion is available at the time of purchase, your app access will commence when the promotion or free trial concludes. App access will not be extended unless proof of an emergency medical condition is provided. Grounds' Programs do not account for any medical conditions, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or any other specific health or medical issues. If you have, or are potentially at risk of, any health condition or medical issue, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, we highly advise you to consult your healthcare provider before participating in any Program. Grounds does not guarantee specific outcomes as a result of participation in a Program, or the use of meal plans, nutrition guides, or other Fitness Products. Testimonials provided on the website are unique to each individual, and results may vary.
