2. Your promise to us (i.e. disclaimers)

Our Programme is designed for those who could benefit from 15kg+ of weight loss, and our goal is to help you use this weight loss as a tool to reverse or prevent disease. However, there are some people the Programme isn’t suitable for. To make sure the Programme is safe for you, please provide accurate information to the best of your knowledge during the signup and onboarding process Also, it’s super important that you see (or video/phone chat with) your GP: If you take certain medications you must do this BEFORE starting the Programme, otherwise you must see them as soon as possible (it is still compulsory, but can happen after you start the Programme).

2.01. By choosing to participate in our Programme, you agree that you will see your GP, either in-person or via video/phone call.
2.02. By signing up for the Programme, you confirm that you are over the age of 18 years, and that you are not currently pregnant or lactating.

By signing up to the Programme, you confirm that you have provided your height and weight to the best of your knowledge.
2.05. Habitual will not be held responsible for any health issues arising from or during the use of our Programme.

3. Our advice: What it is and isn’t

We provide you with tons of information and recommendations to help you lose weight and build better habits in your life, however none of this qualifies as medical advice—and you are free to make use of the advice we offer as you wish (i.e. we’ll make suggestions, but acting on them is up to you!). We do everything possible to make sure it’s the best and most up-to-date advice out there, but we can’t guarantee 100% accuracy—so please use your best judgement as we are not responsible for the decisions you make.

3.01. Habitual is not a doctor, and any recommendations we make regarding diet supplements (i.e. the food products we sell to you) must be discussed with your GP.
3.02. By participating in our Programme, you must acknowledge and agree that we are not a medical organisation, and that our Programme is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition. No material provided in the Programme qualifies as medical advice, and in the instance that Programme advice conflicts with advice given by a healthcare professional, the latter should take precedence. Further, no part of our Programme is classified as a medical device.
3.04. You also acknowledge and agree that the Programme is a user-driven service designed to help you lose weight and adopt healthier habits, and it is entirely up to you as to which of the suggested techniques you decide to employ in your life.
3.05. Our team has taken great care to ensure that our advice is accurate and reflects medical best practice and the latest medical research. In the instance that we find or are altered to a mistake, we will correct it as quickly as possible. However, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, the authors, editors and publishers are not responsible for errors or omissions, or for any consequences arising from application of the information offered in the Programme, and make no warranty, express or implied, with respect to the contents, completeness, or accuracy of the material published.

4. What’s yours and what’s ours (IP & acceptable use)

We know that there’s a lot of content to digest as you go through our Programme, so it’s fine if you want to take screenshots to come back to later—but please don’t share it with friends or use it for commercial purposes. If you know someone who would benefit from our Programme, please refer them to us through our referral Programme!

7. Ordering, payments, and subscription (everything e-commerce)

Access to our programmes is possible by subscribing to one of our programmes, which include a 4-weekly food box, tools and resources such as daily content and tracking through our app, and a curated social support group. You are welcome to change your flavour selection for each meal box, but you must do so within the 1-week order change window ahead of your upcoming payment. You may cancel your subscription at any time (though we hope you won’t!), but access to programme resources will be revoked if you do choose to cancel. We also have an online store where we offer our meals on a pay as you go basis.

7.01. We accept payments by credit/debit card. Goods will not be dispatched until payments made have been cleared in full.
7.02. We will not be held responsible for pricing, product selection or delivery errors due to software malfunctions, or human error. It is your responsibility to check the accuracy of your order; you are notified in the checkout process and via email, so if anything is incorrect you must notify us immediately as mistakes cannot be rectified after dispatch.
7.03. If you decide not to proceed with the Habitual programme after receiving your complimentary Taster Box, we will offer a full refund of the initial subscription payment no questions asked, so long as your first month’s meal box has not been dispatched.
7.04. After subscribing to one of our programmes, if your first month’s meal box has been dispatched, but you later change your mind and no longer wish to proceed with the programme, you may be eligible for a return. To be eligible for a return of your monthly meal box, your goods must be in the same condition that you received them, unused, and in their original packaging. To request a return, please contact subscriptions@tryhabitual.com. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted. Please note that shipping costs for returns will be deducted from the value of your order and returns will need to be sent to the following address: Habitual Health Ltd, 1.09, Brock House, 19 Langham Street, London W1W 6BP, United Kingdom. We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method within 10 business days. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too. If more than 15 business days have passed since we’ve approved your return, please contact us at subscriptions@tryhabitual.com. Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns of goods purchased from our online store.
7.05. For all plan types, your second payment will be taken on Day 23 of your programme, taking your Start Date as Day 0. You will receive instructions for selecting your next meal box a week before payment is taken.
