Terms & Conditions

1. Who you are contracting with

Shift Fuel Pro (the "Service") is provided by Courtney Mericle, trading as Shift ("we", "us", "our"). These Terms & Conditions form an agreement between you and Courtney Mericle. Questions about these terms can be sent through the contact page at courtneymericle.com.

2. Acceptance

By creating an account, subscribing, or continuing to use the Service you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind it. If you are using it as an individual, you confirm you are of legal age in your country and at least 18 years old.

3. What the Service is

Shift Fuel Pro is a subscription web application for planning and tracking food, training, mindfulness and journaling. It includes calculated macro targets, meal and dining guidance, logging, and AI-assisted estimates and answers. Some features are offered as one-time purchases, such as the Strong Again course.

Content is general educational and wellness guidance only. It is not medical, nutritional, psychological, financial or legal advice, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional. AI-generated estimates and answers may be inaccurate or incomplete — you are responsible for reviewing them and for decisions you make. Talk to your clinician before changing how you eat or train, especially alongside prescription medication.

4. Your account

You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised use.

5. Licence and acceptable use

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for your own personal use within the plan you have selected. You must not:

• use the Service unlawfully, or for fraud, spam or abusive behaviour;
• infringe anyone's intellectual property or other rights;
• interfere with the security or integrity of the Service — including malware, probing, penetration testing, scraping or circumventing technical or plan limits;
• reverse engineer, resell, sublicense or redistribute the Service or its content;
• submit content you do not have the rights to, or use AI features to generate unlawful, deceptive, hateful or harmful material.

You keep ownership of the content you enter (meals, photos, journal entries and similar) and grant us a limited licence to host and process it solely to provide the Service. If you believe content in the Service infringes your rights, contact us and we will review and, where appropriate, remove it; repeat infringement can lead to account termination. We may remove or restrict content and refuse or filter AI outputs where necessary.

6. Intellectual property

We retain all ownership of the Service, including its software, design, written content, lessons, recipes, meditations, course material and branding. No rights are transferred to you beyond the licence above.

7. Service availability

We work to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free performance. Features may change, and maintenance, outages or third-party failures may interrupt access.

8. Payments and subscriptions

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.

Payment, billing, currency, tax, renewal, cancellation and refund mechanics are governed by Paddle's Buyer Terms. Subscriptions renew automatically at the interval you selected until cancelled. See our Refund Policy for refund details.

9. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access for material breach of these terms, non-payment, security or fraud risk, or repeated or serious policy violations. You may cancel at any time. When access ends you may request an export of your data within 30 days, after which it may be deleted.

10. Warranties and liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. We are not liable for indirect, consequential or special damages, including loss of profits, data or goodwill. Our total aggregate liability is limited to the fees you paid in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, death or personal injury where it cannot lawfully be excluded.

You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your content, your unlawful use of the Service, or your breach of these terms.

11. General

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, USA, and disputes will be heard by the courts of that jurisdiction. You may not assign your rights without our consent; we may assign ours in connection with a merger or acquisition. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond reasonable control. We may update these terms; continued use after an update means you accept the revised version.
