In addition, users participating in some Programs may be eligible to receive a third-party personal health-related device to help them better engage with the program. Please consult with your healthcare provider to determine whether the Services are appropriate for you.
NOTE: Some Services may be subject to additional guidelines, rules, or terms that are made available to you on the Services and govern the applicable Services. The Services can be accessed through a compatible Device. As used herein, the term “Device” refers to the device that is used to access the Services, including but not limited to computers and smartphones.
2. WHO MAY USE THE SERVICES
2.1 You may use the Services only if you can form and agree to form a binding contract with Trims and are not a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction.

3. MEMBERSHIPS
3.1 REGISTRATION; ACCOUNT; ELIGIBILITY
Certain aspects of the Services are available only to those who register for an account (each a “Member”). To register as a Member and depending on the manner in which you access the Services, you may need to provide your email address for purposes of creating a username and also create a password to be used in conjunction with that username. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Member account and password and for restricting access to your Device. Please use a strong password and limit its use to your Member account. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above. You are solely responsible for providing the correct name and insurance plan details upon registering for Trims and all activity that occurs on your Member account. We may assume that any communications or content under your Member account have been made by you. You must notify Trims immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Member account.
Some features of our Services are available only to people who meet certain health eligibility criteria. We also may limit the availability of the Services only to people who are eligible through health insurance plans, employers, healthcare companies, government programs, or other third-party partners (“Sponsored Plan”). Access to these programs and services may depend on whether you are eligible through membership in your health plan, your employment, or your association with a participating Trims partner. If you are eligible, you may participate in the applicable Trims programs or services, and such programs and services may be made available at no additional cost to you. Eligibility requirements for Trims programs may differ by Sponsored Plan, and such Sponsored Plans may change such that your eligibility for the Services is modified or terminated.
3.2 OUT-OF-NETWORK COVERAGE
Some health plans may cover Trims programs and services as an out-of-network benefit. If you are eligible to participate through an out-of-network benefit of your health plan, then, by registering as a Member you give Trims permission to bill your health insurance plan for the out-of-network costs of the program. When we do so, your health insurance plan may reimburse Trims in-whole or in-part. If your health plan declines to reimburse Trims, or reimburses Trims only in part, then we will not seek any payment (including any co-pay) from you. However, Trims reserves the right to exclude you from continuing to participate in our program if your health plan declines coverage. If required by your Health Plan, Trims may contact your health plan on your behalf to obtain pre-authorization for you to enroll in Trims.
In order for Trims to directly bill your insurance company for the cost of out-of-network services, you agree as follows:
That by enrolling, you request that payment of authorized insurance benefits, including Medicare if you are a Medicare beneficiary, be made on your behalf to TRIMS WEIGHT LOSS LLC, for any covered services provided to you by Trims.
You authorize the release of any medical or other information necessary to determine these benefits or the benefits payable for related equipment or services to Trims, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), your insurance carrier, or another medical entity. A copy of this authorization will be sent to CMS, your insurance company, or another entity if requested. The original will be kept on file by Trims.
This assignment of benefits shall remain in effect unless revoked by you in writing.
3.3 REPRESENTATIONS

In-App Modules Powered by Third-Party AI Vendor
Certain Trims Programs may include food logging and coaching modules, within the Trims mobile application, that are powered by a third-party AI vendor. These modules can provide calorie and nutritional information as well as dietary guidance regarding your meals based on your interactions with the mobile applications and your input. Trims may share certain information with the third-party AI vendor such as your age, gender, primary health goals, meal preferences, and previously logged meals for the above purposes. Trims provides these modules on an as-is and as available basis with no representations or warranties of any kind. Please note that AI technology has limitations with respect to food calculations and dietary coaching. For example, nutritional information can vary based on factors like portion size, preparation methods, regional dietary practices, and brand variations. In addition, the third-party AI technology may not have access to the most recent or specific information on certain food products or dietary trends that have emerged after its knowledge cut-off. The third-party AI technology may not provide accurate information on common allergens and dietary considerations and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
11. NO COMMERCIAL USE
The Services are not intended for commercial use. Commercial advertisements, affiliate links, and other forms of solicitation may be removed by us without notice and may result in termination of privileges, termination of your Member account, and the immediate cessation of your right to use the Services.
12. AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES
Although we aim to offer you the best service possible, we make no promise that the Services will meet your requirements, and we cannot guarantee that the Services will be fault-free. If a fault occurs in the Services, please report it to us at [email protected]. If the need arises, we may suspend access to the Services while we address the fault. We will not be liable to you if the Services are unavailable for any period of time.

13. SERVICES DISCLAIMERS
The information available via the Services is for general information purposes only. While we endeavor to keep the information up-to-date and correct, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability with respect to the Services or the information contained on the Services for any purpose. Any reliance you place on such information is therefore strictly at your own risk.
14. WARRANTIES; DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES
Trims provides the Services on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Trims makes no representations, warranties, or conditions of any kind, express or implied, as to the operation of the Services or the information, software, or content included in the Services, including any health information available on or through the Services. Trims makes no representations or warranties that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, virus-free, secure, or timely.

No advice or information, whether oral or written (unless signed by both parties), obtained from Trims or through the Services, will create any warranty not expressly made in these terms.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, and therefore some of the above limitations may not apply to you. We urge you to keep backup copies of your Member Content, if any, that you maintain on or use with the Services. If your use of the Services results in the need for servicing or replacing property, material, equipment, or data, we are not responsible for any resulting costs or damages.
In addition, Trims is not liable for:
14.1 Faulty operation of Devices, incorrect or overly slow transmission of data by the internet provider, and/or any personal damage that occurs due to information submitted by you not being received by us or not being received promptly or not being considered, as a consequence of technical faults with our software or hardware (whether or not they are within or outside of our control).

15. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY
TRIMS IS NOT LIABLE TO ANY USER OR PERSON FOR ANY HARM CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OR MISCONDUCT OF ANY PROVIDERS, WHETHER OR NOT RELYING UPON INFORMATION COLLECTED, GENERATED, OR STORED VIA THE SERVICES. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE HEALTHCARE SERVICES YOU ARE RECEIVING FROM A PROVIDER, YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL REMEDIES REGARDING THE PROVISION OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IF YOU USE THE SERVICES DURING OR IN RELATION TO AN EMERGENT, SERIOUS, OR LIFE-THREATENING CONDITION, SUCH USE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TRIMS IS NOT LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY PERSON FOR ANY DECISION MADE OR ACTION TAKEN IN RELIANCE UPON INFORMATION INCLUDED AS PART OF THE SERVICES.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall Trims or its affiliates, suppliers, clients, or licensors be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost revenue, loss of data, loss of privacy, loss of goodwill, or any other losses arising from, or directly or indirectly related to, the use of, or the inability to use, the Services or the content, materials, and functions related thereto, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages and even in the event of fault, tort (including negligence) or strict or product liability. In no event shall Trims be liable for any Member Content or for any Third Party Services. In no event shall the total aggregate liability of Trims to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract or tort, including, but not limited to, negligence or otherwise) arising from these Terms or your use of the Services exceed, in the aggregate, the amount, if any, paid by you to Trims for your use of the Services during the previous 12 months or, if greater, $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so if you are a resident of any of those jurisdictions, the limitations above may not apply to you.
16. INDEMNITY BY YOU
You agree to hold Trims, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, and suppliers, and each of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), harmless from, and indemnify them for, all damages, costs, expenses, and other liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, relating to any claim arising out of or related to: (i) your violation of these Terms and any applicable law or the rights of another person or party; (ii) any dispute you have with any Member of the Services; (iii) Trims’ resolution (if any) of any dispute you have with any Member of the Services; or (iv) your Member Content.
If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that if known by him or her would have materially affected his settlement with the debtor or released party.” This release includes the criminal acts of others. If you are not a California resident, you waive your rights under any statute or common law principle similar to Section 1542 that governs your rights in the jurisdiction of your residence.
17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
17.1 Governing Law. These Terms and the relationship between you and Trims will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and Trims agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within Houston, Texas, except that we reserve the right to bring a suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms in your jurisdiction of residence or any other relevant jurisdiction.
17.2 Dispute Resolution. If a dispute arises between you and Trims, we aim to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and Trims agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of these Terms or the Services (a “Claim”) in accordance with one of the subsections below.
17.3 Mandatory Arbitration. Any Claim shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration under the rules and auspices of the American Arbitration Association, to be held in Houston, Texas, in English, by a panel of three arbitrators, each of whom shall be selected in accordance with such rules. The arbitrators shall be familiar with the healthcare industry, and at least one shall be an attorney. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment on the arbitrators’ award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the arbitration and shall share equally in the fees and expenses of the arbitrators, unless the arbitrators rule otherwise.
17.4 Class Action Waiver. You and Trims agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in your and our individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and you and Trims expressly waive your right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
17.5 Exception – Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding your and Trims’ agreement to arbitrate disputes, either you or we may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Houston, Texas, or any United States county where you live or work.
17.6 Exception – Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding your and Trims’ agreement to arbitrate disputes, we may seek injunctive or other relief in any state, federal, or national court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or alleged infringement of our or any third party’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
17.7 Arbitration Fees. Your responsibility to pay any arbitration filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the American Arbitration Association Rules.
17.8 Severability. If a court decides that any term or provision of this Section 17 is invalid or unenforceable, you and Trims agree to waive that term or provision and proceed with the arbitration or portion thereof that is enforceable. However, if the Class Action Waiver clause above is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 17 shall be null and void.
18. GENERAL
18.1 Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Trims and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and Trims.
18.2 Amendments. We may update or modify these Terms from time to time, with or without notice, and it is your responsibility to check these Terms regularly. Your continued use of the Services after any changes have been made constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
18.3 Waiver and Severability of Terms. The failure of Trims to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.
18.4 No Assignment. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Trims. We may assign our rights or obligations under these Terms without restriction.
18.5 Survival. Sections 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 of these Terms, as well as any other provisions that by their nature should survive, will survive the termination or expiration of these Terms and/or your use of the Services.
