1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and SJK & Sons LLC® ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the GritLeanPulse mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
By downloading, installing, or using GritLeanPulse, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use GritLeanPulse. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:
- You are at least 18 years of age
- You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract
- Your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation
If you are using the Service on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
3. Account Registration
To access the full features of GritLeanPulse, you must create an account. You agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
- Keep your account credentials confidential and not share your password
- Notify us immediately at support@gritleanpulse.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account
- Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account
We reserve the right to terminate accounts that contain false information, are associated with fraudulent activity, or violate these Terms.
4. Subscriptions and Billing
GritLeanPulse offers a free tier with limited features and a premium subscription with full access.
Subscriptions may be purchased directly on our website (gritleanpulse.com) or through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store ("Platform"). When subscribing via our website, billing is processed through our payment provider and is governed by their terms. When subscribing through a Platform, billing is managed by the respective Platform and their terms apply. SJK & Sons LLC® does not directly store or process your payment card information.
By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges at the applicable subscription rate until you cancel. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date.
Prices are in US dollars and may be subject to applicable taxes depending on your jurisdiction. We reserve the right to change subscription pricing. If we do, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice, and the change will apply to your next renewal after the notice period.
5. Free Trial
New users may access a 7-day free trial of GritLeanPulse Premium. The trial begins when you activate a premium subscription in the app.
- No charge is made during the trial period
- To avoid being charged, you must cancel before the trial period ends — through your account settings at gritleanpulse.com (for web subscriptions) or through the App Store or Google Play settings on your device (for platform subscriptions)
- If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your chosen subscription (monthly or annual) will activate and you will be charged the applicable rate
- Each Apple ID or Google account is eligible for one free trial. Subsequent trials on the same account are at our discretion
6. Cancellation and Refunds
Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription at any time. If you subscribed on our website, you can cancel through your account settings at gritleanpulse.com or by contacting support@gritleanpulse.com. If you subscribed through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android), manage cancellation through those platform settings:
- iOS: Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → GritLeanPulse → Cancel Subscription
- Android: Google Play Store → Menu → Subscriptions → GritLeanPulse → Cancel
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You will retain access to premium features until that date. We do not prorate partial-month or partial-year subscriptions upon cancellation.
Refunds
For subscriptions purchased directly on our website, contact support@gritleanpulse.com to request a refund. We generally do not issue refunds for partial subscription periods, but will work with you in good faith in cases of demonstrated technical failure attributable to our service.
For subscriptions purchased through Apple or Google, refund requests must be directed to the respective platform:
- Apple: reportaproblem.apple.com
- Google: Google Play Help Center
7. Not Medical Advice

Always seek the advice of your physician, dietitian, or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you have regarding a medical condition, medication (including GLP-1 agonists), diet, or exercise program. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read or calculated in GritLeanPulse.
If you experience a medical emergency, call 911 (US) or your local emergency services immediately.

We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of Third-Party Services. We do not endorse and are not responsible for any content or services provided by third parties accessed through or linked from the Service.
Disconnecting a Third-Party Service integration does not automatically delete historical data already synced to GritLeanPulse. To delete that data, you must delete your account or submit a data deletion request as described in our Privacy Policy.

17. Dispute Resolution
Informal Resolution First
Before initiating any formal dispute process, you agree to first contact us at support@gritleanpulse.com and give us 30 days to attempt to resolve the issue informally.
Binding Arbitration
If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and SJK & Sons LLC® agree to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except for claims that qualify for small claims court.
Arbitration shall be conducted by a mutually agreed arbitration service under its applicable rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver
YOU AND SJK & SONS LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Exceptions
Either party may seek emergency injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm, without waiving the right to arbitrate other claims.
18. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. For any matters not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Connecticut.
19. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will:
- Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
- Notify you via in-app notification and/or email to the address on your account
Material changes take effect 30 days after notice is provided, except for changes required by law which take effect immediately. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service and delete your account.
