Legal

Terms

Last updated August 29, 2026. Using Aligned means you agree to these terms. This is a contract, not legal advice.

The agreement

These terms are a contract between you and the operator of Aligned for the training, nutrition, and journaling app, including the website, any mobile view, and premium plans. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1549, 1550, 1580 (formation of contracts).

What Aligned is

Aligned helps you log sessions, meals, weight, and notes, and can generate a meal and workout week from the answers you give. It is a general-wellness tool, not a medical device, gym, dietitian, or health-care provider.

FDA, General Wellness: Policy for Low Risk Devices (2019); 21 U.S.C. § 360c. HIPAA, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1320d et seq. and 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164, generally does not apply to a consumer wellness app that is not a covered entity or business associate.

Not medical advice

Nothing in Aligned is medical, nutritional, or fitness advice for your condition. Calorie estimates, photo food counts, burn numbers, and generated plans are approximations. Talk to a qualified clinician before you change how you eat, train, or fast, especially if you are pregnant, injured, under 18, or managing a medical condition. You train and eat at your own risk.

FTC Act § 5, 15 U.S.C. § 45 (unfair or deceptive acts); FTC Health Products Compliance Guidance (2022). We do not claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. 21 U.S.C. § 321(g), (h).

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 to use Aligned. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms. You are responsible for the accuracy of the profile, goals, and limits you enter.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506; 16 C.F.R. Part 312 (under 13 in the U.S.). We do not knowingly collect from children under 13. Age 16 also tracks GDPR Art. 8 where 16 is the default digital-consent age unless a member state sets lower, not below 13. Regulation (EU) 2016/679 art. 8.

Accounts and guest use

You can explore without an account. Guest logs older than 7 days may be removed. Sign in (email, Google, Apple, or X, where offered) to keep your history. You are responsible for your login and for what is logged under it. Do not share an account. We may close an account that is abused, unpaid, or clearly fake.

Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 22575–22579 (CalOPPA) — a commercial site that collects personal information from California residents must post a privacy policy. See also Privacy.

Your content

You keep rights to the workouts, meals, photos, notes, and profile data you add. You grant Aligned a license to store, process, and display that content so the app can work — including food-photo estimates and syncing a signed-in save. Do not upload images of other people without their permission, or anything illegal or harmful. We may remove content that breaks these terms.

17 U.S.C. §§ 102, 106, 201 (copyright ownership and license). Cal. Civ. Code § 3344 (likeness).

Premium and auto-renewal

Premium unlocks a custom meal plan, grocery list, and workout week. Prices are $9.99 / month or $79.99 / year, billed in advance for the period you pick. The questionnaire answers drive the plan; if you skip or misstate them, the plan will be wrong for you.

If you buy a subscription, it is an automatic renewal. We will disclose the price, length, that it renews until you cancel, and how to cancel before you pay. Cancel in Settings — the same product you used to subscribe. Canceling stops the next charge. You keep premium until the date already paid. Fees are generally non-refundable except where the law requires it. We may change prices with notice before a renewal.

California Automatic Renewal Law, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17600–17606 (including AB 2863, ch. 954, Stats. 2024, effective July 1, 2025): clear and conspicuous offer terms, affirmative consent, online cancellation as easy as sign-up, and an annual renewal reminder. Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA), 15 U.S.C. §§ 8401–8405, especially § 8403 (clear disclosure, express informed consent, simple cancellation). FTC Act § 5, 15 U.S.C. § 45. Cal. Civ. Code § 1770 (CLRA) and Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 (UCL) are often pled with auto-renewal claims.

Acceptable use

Do not reverse-engineer, scrape, or overload the service. Do not use Aligned to give medical advice to others, to harass anyone, or to upload malware. Do not try to get around a paywall or another person’s account.

Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1030; Cal. Penal Code § 502 (unauthorized access).

Intellectual property

Aligned, the layout, copy, workout library, meal recipes, and graphics belong to Aligned or its licensors. You may not copy the program, resell plans, or use our name to imply a partnership we have not agreed to.

17 U.S.C. §§ 102, 106; Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1114, 1125.

Availability

We aim to keep the app up. We do not promise uninterrupted service, perfect calorie math, or that a generated plan will produce a specific result. Features can change. Guest data, and any data you do not back up, can be lost.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Aligned is not liable for injury, illness, lost profits, or data loss from your use of the app, including training, dieting, fasting, or following a generated plan. Our total liability for a claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or one hundred dollars, whichever is greater. Some places do not allow these limits; in those places, they apply only as far as the law allows.

Limits on consequential damages are restricted in some consumer contracts. See Cal. Civ. Code § 1668 (cannot exempt fraud or willful injury) and Cal. Civ. Code § 1770. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Governing law

California law governs these terms, except where your local consumer law says otherwise. If a court would otherwise allow a class or jury waiver we have not written one here.

Cal. Civ. Code § 1646.5; Cal. Const. art. I, § 16 (jury trial). We do not currently bind you to arbitration.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top will change. Continued use after an update means you accept the new terms. If you do not, stop using Aligned and cancel premium.
