Effective Date: September 3, 2025  
Last Updated: September 3, 2025

1. Our Commitment to Your Satisfaction

At Body Byte, your fitness journey and satisfaction matter to us. We believe in our platform and want you to feel completely confident in your investment. That's why we offer a comprehensive satisfaction guarantee for new subscribers and a clear, fair policy for all our users. This policy is designed to be transparent, with no complex explanations required or hoops to jump through.

2. Free Trial Periods

Standard 7-Day Free Trial
Every new subscriber receives full access to all Body Byte premium features for 7 days at no charge. This gives you time to explore our workouts, nutrition plans, progress tracking, and community features.

Extended 14-Day Trial with Promotion Code
Eligible users with valid promotion codes can extend their trial to 14 days total (7 standard + 7 promotional days). This extended period allows you even more time to experience the full Body Byte experience.

Trial Terms
- Full Access: Complete access to all premium features during trial periods.
- Easy Cancellation: Cancel anytime during your trial with no charges.
- No Commitment: No obligation to continue after your trial ends.
- Grace Period: Cancellations processed up to 24 hours after trial expiration will not be charged.

3. Subscription Plans & Billing

Available Plans
- Monthly Plan: Billed monthly with flexible cancellation.
- Annual Plan: Billed annually with significant savings.

Auto-Renewal Notice
All subscriptions automatically renew to ensure uninterrupted access to your fitness journey. To avoid future charges, you must cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before your next scheduled renewal date. You can easily manage your subscription at any time in your account settings.

4. Refund Eligibility and Terms

Our refund policy is divided into two distinct periods to provide the best experience for both new and existing members.

4.1 New Subscriber 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
We offer a 30-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee on your initial subscription purchase only.

-  Eligibility: This guarantee applies exclusively to your first payment immediately following the end of your free trial.
-  Timeframe: You must request the refund within 30 calendar days of your first subscription charge.
-  What's Covered: This covers any reason for dissatisfaction, including a change of mind, financial circumstances, or the app not meeting your expectations. We stand by our no-questions-asked promise during this initial period.

4.2 Subscription Renewal 48-Hour Grace Period
For all subsequent monthly or annual subscription renewals, we offer a 48-hour grace period as a courtesy for users who may have forgotten to cancel.

-  Eligibility: This applies to any renewal charge after your first month's subscription.
-  Timeframe: You must request a refund within 48 hours of the renewal transaction.
-  Process: Upon approval, your subscription will be canceled, and your premium access will expire at the end of your previous paid billing cycle.

Refund requests for renewals made after this 48-hour window will not be granted.

5. Promotional Code Refunds

Subscriptions initiated with promotional codes (discounts, free months, etc.) are eligible for the same refund terms, calculated based on the actual amount paid. For example, a refund for a subscription purchased with a 50% discount code will be based on the discounted price paid.

9. Business Protection & Abuse Prevention

Fair Use Guidelines
While we offer a customer-friendly policy, we reserve the right to limit refunds in cases of clear abuse, such as:
‍
- Multiple refund requests from different accounts tied to the same individual.
- Systematic abuse of trial or refund periods to access content for free.

Fraud Protection
We monitor for patterns of fraudulent activity to protect the integrity of our service while ensuring legitimate customers are treated fairly.

10. Legal Compliance & Consumer Rights

Regulatory Compliance
This policy is designed to comply with FTC guidelines, state consumer protection laws, and international consumer rights (GDPR, CCPA).

Your Rights
This policy enhances, and does not limit, your legal consumer rights. If local laws in your jurisdiction provide stronger protections, those will take precedence.

11. Continuous Improvement

Feedback Loop
Every refund request is an opportunity for us to learn. While not required, any feedback you provide helps us enhance our app features, improve customer onboarding, and address technical issues.

Policy Updates
We may update this policy to better serve our customers. Changes will be communicated via email and in-app notifications.
