I will receive automated Coaching from the Platform and the Platform will enable me to communicate with a live health, fitness, or wellness Coach (collectively “Coaching Services”) that is non-medical in nature. My personal nutrition coach (“Coach”) will typically be someone with which I have contracted for his or her services. However, Coaches may be provided by third parties, such as my employer, school, insurance company, or by third-party Coaching service providers (“Coach”). I understand, certify, consent and agree that during and after voluntarily signing up for the Platform and participating in Coaching Services from LifeBase the following:

  • The Platform is designed to allow me to improve and make informed decisions about my health, but the Coaching Services are not meant to take the place of a primary care physician, they are not a substitute for a medical examination and neither my Coach or the Platform functions as a physician, to diagnose or treat disease, nor do these services replace the necessary services of a licensed physician. A nutrition consultation as provided by a Coach does not constitute a medical service or health care treatment. I am strongly encouraged that in addition to any health consultation, that I maintain a relationship with one or more physicians qualified to care for my health condition(s).
  • It may be important to alert my primary healthcare provider to the fact that I’m consulting with my Coach as an adjunct to traditional care. Coaching Services may alter the need or efficacy of medications therefore it is imperative to fully disclose all medications and supplements at the initial consultation and to my primary healthcare provider. The Coaching Services provided are not considered to be medical advice and that I am encouraged to continue to pursue medical care with my healthcare provider.
  • I assume all responsibility and any risks associated with the nutritional choices that I make. I agree to hold the Company harmless and release them from any liabilities associated with suggestions and information given by them to me relating to dietary changes or nutritional supplements. I specifically recognize and agree that I have been advised by the Company that dietary changes and/or the taking of nutritional supplements may have differing effects on individuals. I understand that with respect to changes in my diet or in my nutritional practices it is suggested that I consult with my physician and primary healthcare provider.
  • I verify and confirm that I am physically healthy and have NOT been advised to NOT participate in the Platform by a qualified medical professional. I have NOT been advised to discontinue treatments with any other medical specialists or other health care providers. I assume full responsibility for any injuries or damages, known or unknown, sustained by participating in any Coaching Services and waive any claim I may have against Company.
  • My acceptance is being given prior to my Coach rendering any service, advice, and/or suggestions whatsoever.
