Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term of this Agreement, Retrofit grants you a non-exclusive and non-transferable right to access and use the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any Documentation made available to you by Retrofit. The Service has been designed by Retrofit with the goal of assisting people who are overweight in weight loss and weight management. You agree that, in order to increase the probability of success in your efforts to lose or manage your weight, you must at a minimum: (a) follow Retrofit's protocol, as provided in any Documentation, to the best of your ability; (b) complete all recommended appointments with your Wellness Professionals; (c) weigh yourself on the Retrofit-provided scale every day while not traveling; and (d) carry or wear the Retrofit-provided pedometer at all times. EVEN IF YOU CARRY OUT THE FOREGOING REQUIREMENTS, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT INDIVIDUAL RESULTS VARY, AND THAT RETROFIT DOES NOT GUARANTEE WEIGHT LOSS. You also understand and agree that we may, but we are not obligated to, modify the Service and the Documentation for a variety of reasons, including for consistency with the most recent weight loss and weight management research. Your specific weight loss program goal will be modified to a lower agreed upon weight loss percentage if the 10% or 15% of your body weight loss would drive your weight below a healthy weight range.
