Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Fuel Different platform (“Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you are under 18 years of age, your parent or legal guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf before you may use the Service. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Fuel Different is a performance nutrition tracking platform designed for student athletes, coaches, and parents. The Service provides tools for meal logging, nutrition analysis, hydration tracking, body composition monitoring, supplement safety evaluation, wellness check-ins, and personalized macro recommendations. The Service uses artificial intelligence to assist with meal analysis and data extraction from body composition scan results.

3. Not Medical or Dietary Advice

The Service is an informational and tracking tool only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The nutrition recommendations, macro targets, and AI-generated meal analyses provided by the Service are estimates based on general sports nutrition guidelines and should not be considered a substitute for professional dietary counseling or medical advice.

You should consult with a qualified healthcare provider, registered dietitian, or sports nutritionist before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have any medical conditions, food allergies, or specific dietary needs.

AI-powered nutritional estimates may not be 100% accurate. Users should verify nutritional information and use the Service as a supplementary tool alongside professional guidance.
