If you do not agree to the Terms & Conditions or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Services or Healthcare Services. Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Terms & Conditions have the meaning given to them in our Privacy Policy. Neither WW, nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any third party who may promote the Site or Service or provide a link to the Service, shall be liable for any professional advice obtained from a Provider via the Site or Service, nor any information obtained on the Site. You acknowledge that your reliance on any Providers or information delivered by the Providers via the Site or Service is solely at your own risk and you assume full responsibility for all risks associated herewith.
If you are accepting these Terms & Conditions for another person (“Family Member”) as such Family Member’s guardian, conservator, or custodian, you agree to the terms, conditions, and notices contained or referenced herein on behalf of such Family Member. The Services are offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and of legal age to form a binding contract with us. To subscribe to our Fee-Based Products, you represent that you are a United States citizen or resident with a valid United States mailing address. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Services.
A. Definitions
For purposes of these Terms & Conditions, these terms have the following meanings:
“Fee-Based Product” means fee-based products or offerings that you may have purchased or received as part of a subscription, including membership for WeightWatchers Wellness Workshops (“Workshops”) and membership to our other digital products and programs (e.g., Points Program).
“Healthcare Services” means clinical or medical healthcare services rendered by, on behalf of, or at the direction of a licensed or registered clinician, including without limitation medical obesity management and medical nutrition therapy.
“Mobile App” means any other digital interfaces and properties (e.g., mobile applications) owned, controlled by, or made available to you by us.
“Service Provider” means the Workshop service provider identified during sign-up or on your Monthly Pass card.
“Services” means (i) the Site; (ii) the Mobile App; and (iii) Fee-Based Products.
“Site” means this website and any other website that we may own or operate currently or in the future.
“WeightWatchers,” “we,” “us,” or “our” means WW.com, LLC and its affiliates (together, “WW”), any Service Provider (solely with respect to Workshops you obtain under these Terms & Conditions), and the WW Clinic Providers (as defined below and with respect to any Healthcare Services you obtain under these Terms & Conditions).
It is important to note that “Services” as defined above and used throughout this document do not include Healthcare Services you may access through our solution and receive from WeightWatchers’ affiliated medical groups, including Weekend Health of Texas, P.A., Weekend Health of New Jersey P.C., Weekend Health of Pennsylvania, P.C., Brantley T. Jolly, M.D., Prof. Corp., WW Clinic, PLLC, Weekend Health of New Jersey II LLC, WW Clinic West PC and WW Clinic Midwest, LLC (collectively, “WW Clinic Providers”) or from a third party health care facility, practitioner, professional, or specialist using or accessible through the Services, including any Partners (as defined below) (together with the WW Clinic Providers, the “Providers”).

In the event you access Healthcare Services from the Providers, Section 11 sets forth the terms and conditions under which the Providers will provide such Healthcare Services to you in addition to other terms and conditions that you may separately agree upon with the Providers.

You understand and agree that such Additional Terms are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
2. CHARGES AND FEES
A. Payment Methods
As a member, you are charged a monthly (or other periodic) fee and any joining or starter fee, if applicable at the time, as set forth at Workshop locations or on the Site or in the Mobile Apps. Only valid payment methods acceptable to us may be used to complete a purchase via the Services. You agree to pay, using a valid credit card (or other form of payment which we may accept from time to time), the fixed and periodic charges and fees set forth on the Site and in the Mobile Apps, applicable taxes, and other charges and fees incurred in order to access Fee-Based Products and Healthcare Services. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use your designated payment method. You authorize us to charge your designated payment method for the total amount of your order (including any applicable taxes and shipping and handling charges). All credit card, debit card, and other monetary transactions on or through the Services occur through an online payment processing application accessible through the Services.
B. Other Fees
In addition to the fees and charges for any subscriptions, products or services you purchase from us, you are responsible for all charges and fees associated with connecting to and using our Site, the Mobile Apps, Services and any Healthcare Services, including without limitation all telephone access lines (including long-distance charges, when applicable), internet service provider fees, telephone and computer equipment, sales taxes.
C. Amount of Recurring Subscription Charges & Renewal Charges
We will automatically charge your credit card or other account at the start of the standard or multiple-period prepayment plan billing period and at the start of each renewal period, unless you terminate or cancel your membership before the relevant renewal period begins. Except in the case of a multiple-period prepayment plan, a recurring billing long term commitment plan or if you were eligible for a discounted rate but are no longer eligible for that rate, the renewal charge will be the same as the prior period's charge, unless we notify you in advance at the time of sign up or prior to the beginning of the renewal period as described above. Each time you use our Services or Healthcare Services you reaffirm your agreement that we may charge your credit card (or other form of payment, if applicable). In the event we cannot charge your account, we reserve the right to terminate your access to our Services and Healthcare Services. If you purchased a multiple- period prepayment plan, a recurring billing long term commitment plan or you were eligible for a discounted rate but are no long eligible for that rate, your membership will automatically be renewed at our standard membership rates and for our standard period (usually monthly) at the start of the renewal period.
D. Membership Data
In connection with any purchase you make through the Services, you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to the transaction. You agree to provide us with true, accurate and complete information as required by the membership or sign up process to the Services and Healthcare Services ("Membership Data"), including your legal name, address, telephone number, email address and applicable billing information (e.g., credit card number and expiration date), and to allow us to share your Membership Data with third parties as outlined in our Privacy Policy including for, but not limited to, the purpose of verifying the information you provide and billing your credit card or otherwise charging your account. You agree to maintain and promptly update the Membership Data and any other information you provide to us to keep it accurate. Without limiting any other provision of these Terms & Conditions, if you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such is the case, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your user account or membership and refuse any and all current or future use by you of our Site (or any portion thereof), the Mobile Apps or any of our Services or Healthcare Services. You are obligated to check the "Account Settings" feature of our Site or the Mobile Apps to determine whether your Membership Data is current and accurate, and, if not, to correct or update your Membership Data including your billing information. You agree not to register or subscribe for more than one account, create an account on behalf of someone else, or create a false or misleading identity on this Site or in the Mobile Apps.
If your registration or membership is revoked for any reason, you agree not to register or subscribe again with our Site or in the Mobile Apps using another user name or through any other means. If we have reason to suspect, in our sole discretion, that your account has previously been terminated, we reserve the right to terminate any new accounts you have registered without any notice to you, or to exercise any other remedies available to us under these Terms & Conditions or by law. By providing Membership Data, you grant WeightWatchers an irrevocable, unencumbered, universe-wide, and perpetual right to provide Membership Data to third parties for the purpose of facilitating the transaction.
You must notify us immediately in the event of any known or suspected unauthorized use of your user account, or any known or suspected breach of security, including loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of your or anyone else’s password or credit card information. In the event of a breach of security by you, you will remain liable for any unauthorized use of your membership until you update your Membership Data. If your credit card expires, is canceled, is lost or is subject to use without your authorization, access the Account Settings feature of the Site to update your Membership Data. You are responsible for paying any amounts billed to your credit card by a third party which were not authorized by you.
3. SUBSCRIPTION PRODUCTS
A. Subscription and Renewal
Many products available for purchase through the Services, including certain Healthcare Services, require you to purchase the product on a subscription basis. For subscription-based products, we will automatically charge your credit card or other account as follows:
- For standard monthly plans, at the start of the standard billing period and each billing period thereafter, until you cancel.
- For long-term commitment plans (i.e., plans with a multi-month commitment period) that convert to standard monthly pricing, each month of the applicable commitment period, and at the start of each monthly renewal period thereafter, unless you terminate or cancel your membership before the relevant renewal period begins.
- For long-term commitment plans that renew for the same long-term commitment periods, each month of the applicable commitment period, unless you terminate or cancel your membership before the relevant renewal commitment period begins.
At the time of sign up you also agree to be charged any applicable initial consultation fee and begin your membership immediately. You agree that we may modify the subscription fees at any time upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice.
B. Cancellation
How to Cancel: You may cancel a subscription before the applicable monthly processing date of your subscription, or in the case of a long-term commitment plan, before the end of the commitment period, by selecting that option in the protected areas of the Site or Mobile App, emailing hello@joinsequence.com, contacting your Care Team, contacting Customer Service, or by such other means as we may provided from time to time in our Cancellation Policy. We reserve the right to collect fees, surcharges, or costs incurred before your cancellation takes effect. You may reach out to your Care Team or Customer Service at any point to see when your relevant billing period ends and your next billing period begins.
When Cancellation Takes Effect: If you terminate your paid subscription, cancellation will take effect at the end of your then-current subscription period, or in the case of a long-term commitment plan, at the end of the commitment plan period. We will attempt to process all cancellation requests within 72 hours after we receive your request. If you cancel near the end of your billing period and are inadvertently charged for the next period’s fee, contact Customer Service to have the charges reversed. If you use our Fee-Based Product during that next period, you will not be entitled to a refund. We reserve the right to collect fees, surcharges, or costs incurred before your cancellation takes effect.
4. REFUND POLICY
A. Initial Consultation Fee
For Healthcare Services that require an initial consultation with a Provider, once you have signed up for a subscription through the Services, the initial consultation fee is not refundable.
B. Subscription Fee
Except as set forth in this Section, the subscription fee for the Services and Healthcare Services is not refundable or cancellable once a billing period (for standard monthly plans) or commitment period (for long term commitment plans) has started; if you terminate your subscription, you must pay the applicable monthly subscription fee until the end of the billing period (for standard monthly plans) or the end of the commitment plan period (for long term commitment plans). You may reach out to your Care Team at any point to see when your current subscription period ends.
The fees, including the full monthly fee for any month (or portion thereof) elapsed (regardless of whether you participated in any of the Fee-Based Products or or Healthcare Services or logged onto the Site or Mobile Apps during that month), and any joining fee, are non-refundable except as set forth below:
- If your membership is canceled due to a medical reason prior to the end of a period for which you have incurred a charge, then, with the exception of any fixed upfront fee (including an initial consultation fee) we may have charged, we will refund the unused portion of such period.
- If we terminate your membership (as opposed to you canceling your membership), other than due to your violation of these Terms & Conditions, prior to the end of a period for which you have incurred a charge, with the exception of any fixed upfront fee (e.g. the sign-up fee or initial consultation fee), we will refund any unused portion of such period on a pro rata basis.
If you are entitled to any refund as described in (1) or (2) above, we reserve the right to charge a fee to cover the cost to us of any administrative or other services you may have used prior to your cancellation, to the extent permitted by law.
C. Apple iTunes
Notwithstanding anything in these Terms & Conditions to the contrary, purchases made within the Mobile Apps downloaded from the Apple® iTunes store are not refundable and are subject to Apple's iTunes Terms of Service.
D. Medication Shortages
Payment of the initial consultation fee or subscription fee does not guarantee medication availability. Medication is dependent on pharmacy stock. Members will not be refunded any fees, even if prescribed medications are unavailable, except as otherwise permitted in these Terms & Conditions.
5. AVAILABILITY OF OFFERINGS
The availability and use of any Services and Healthcare Services, including Workshops and Fee-Based Products (or any portion thereof) may be limited based on demographic, geographic, health or other criteria as we may establish from time to time. You understand and agree we may disallow you from subscribing to Workshops, Fee-Based Products or Healthcare Services, or may terminate your membership thereto at any time based on these criteria. For example, individuals under the age of 18 may not subscribe to any Services or Healthcare Services, or we may limit the membership to a certain Fee- Based Product only to individuals currently attending Workshops in participating areas or locations.
If you have a Workshop membership, while you may use your membership to attend Workshops in any area, if you regularly attend Workshops operated by a Service Provider other than the Service Provider listed on your Monthly Pass, then in order to use your membership following the end of your current billing period, you may be required instead to sign up for a membership with the Service Provider operating the Workshops you regularly attend. Fees may vary by Service Provider. Your Service Provider is an affiliate or franchisee of WW International, Inc., licensed to use its brand and intellectual property in Workshops and is responsible for your membership.
You may not enroll in any WeightWatchers membership Services if you are pregnant. As the WeightWatchers Services are not designed, or tailored for pregnant members, if you become pregnant while an active member, we recommend that you cancel your membership until your Healthcare Provider (HCP) advises resuming post-pregnancy. However, you may discuss with your HCP whether continuing your membership for WeightWatchers Services during your pregnancy is suitable for you. If so, you may maintain your membership at the pricing you signed up for and utilize our resources and support for healthy living during your pregnancy, subject to the following guidelines: 1) you should not follow the WeightWatchers weight management program; and 2) you should be monitored by a HCP during your pregnancy and only follow your HCP’s advice with respect to your weight, nutrition, activity, mindset and sleep. By maintaining your membership for WeightWatchers Services during your pregnancy, you assume all risks of your use of the Services, and you agree to hold us harmless from any and all claims, loss or damage, liabilities and costs, including attorney’s fees, in connection with your use of any Services during your pregnancy. Alternatively, you may cancel your membership anytime during your pregnancy by visiting https://www.weightwatchers.com/us/cancellation.

11. PROVIDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The terms and conditions of this Section 11 apply only if you receive Healthcare Services from the Providers. This section will govern your receipt of Healthcare Services from the Providers.
A. Access to Healthcare Services
The availability of the Healthcare Services or any portion thereof, may be limited based on demographic, geographic, health or other criteria that we may establish from time to time. You understand and agree we may disallow you from accessing our Healthcare Services or may terminate your membership for Healthcare Services at any time based on these criteria. For example, individuals under the age of 18; who are pregnant; or who have had a diagnosis of bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa in the last 12 months may not subscribe to Healthcare Services. By using the Healthcare Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and of legal age to form a binding contract with us, are not trying to conceive or are pregnant, and have not had an active diagnosis of bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa in at least 12 months. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Healthcare Services. You give permission to Providers to medically care for you and your Covered Family Member. You may withdraw this consent at any time by no longer seeking Healthcare Services from the Providers.
B. Initial Consultation with a Provider
Once you have signed up to receive Healthcare Services, you will be asked, among other things, to schedule your initial consultation with a Provider. In some states and for some members of a certain age, a synchronous consultation is required. This means you must be present on a secure video call with the Provider. If you have technical issues that make you unable to join the scheduled appointment, the appointment will be canceled. You are responsible for rescheduling.
Before you can schedule your initial consultation, you must do the following:
- For some members, lab work is required prior to the initial consultation. You can get the lab work from your primary care physician or our third-party vendor.
- To ensure you receive appropriate medical care and evaluations, your weight needs to be validated. This may be done by submitting an image(s) of you on a scale showing your weight. We review each submission for any discrepancy and/or falsification of data and have the right to decline or end membership at any time if, in our opinion, the image(s) appear to be falsified.
- You must confirm that you are not seeking reimbursement for any Healthcare Services from insurance payors that are funded by a federal or state government entity.
C. Consultation
During your consultation(s), you consent to the following:
- Data, chat text, audio, video, and/or digital photos may be recorded;
- Details of your medical information may be discussed with you and the Providers via the Site using electronic technology, including chat, audio, video, and/or graphics technology;
- Virtual examination of you may take place; and
- Medical personnel and non-medical technical personnel may join the visit, either physically or virtually, to aid in delivery of medical care to you.
D. How to Reschedule
You must reschedule your initial consultation by reaching out to your Care Team within the message portal or by selecting the reschedule option prior to the start of your initial consultation.
E. Prescription Transfer & Refills
Members are required to complete a series of questions when requesting refills which are reviewed before refills are sent in. The Providers reserve the right to change policies surrounding multi-month prescriptions at any time. The Providers will not send transfer prescriptions or file prior authorizations for members who have unsubscribed within the past 30 days.
F. Medical Nutrition Therapy Services
Medical nutrition therapy (“MNT Services”) is an evidence-based nutrition treatment provided by a registered dietitian nutritionist to help treat medical conditions and involves a comprehensive assessment, nutritional diagnosis, and treatment plan.
- Partners. In some instances, the WW Clinic Providers are working with Partners for the provision of the MNT Services. By accepting these Terms & Conditions you also agree to be subject to the policies that Partners may require, solely as they relate to insurance-covered MNT Services, which are provided by the applicable Partner. You acknowledge that the WW Clinic Providers are not responsible for any insurance-covered MNT services provided through the Partners and the WW Clinic Providers hereby disclaim any liability for such insurance-covered MNT Services, including any liability related to payment or insurance coverage.
- Your subscription fee does not include the cost of MNT Services. For MNT Services that are not covered by your insurance or when a Provider is not contracted with your insurer, you will be separately charged and will pay for such MNT Services on a cash pay, out-of-pocket basis for each MNT visit.
- Appointments: Missed/Late Cancellation. You understand and agree that if you do not show for your appointment for MNT Services or you cancel such appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice, we may charge you a fee for a missed/late or canceled appointment and this cost will not be covered by your insurance.
G. Payment for Services Covered by Insurance
If you provide information about your health insurance or health plan, that will be deemed your authorization for the applicable Provider to submit claims for covered Healthcare Services to your health insurer or health plan. You authorize the release of any medical or other information necessary to process any claims for the Healthcare Services provided. You further understand and accept your financial responsibility for any portion of the bill not covered by your health insurer or health plan. SUBMISSION OF CHARGES DOES NOT WAIVE OUR RIGHT TO SEEK PAYMENT DIRECTLY FROM YOU. You agree that:
- The Provider providing your care shall be paid or assigned benefits on your behalf and your Provider may bill your insurance for you.
- If any insurance company or other payor does not pay your Provider directly for your care and treatment by such Provider, you agree to immediately forward payments you receive to your Provider.
- You are responsible for any costs not covered by your insurance benefits, including without limitation non-covered services, deductibles, co-pays and co-insurance.
- You will pay any costs related to any unpaid bill that is sent for collection, including any collection agency fees.
H. Access to Medications
- Payment for Certain Medication Access Programs. Certain programs that we offer (e.g., the compounded medication program) includes the cost of certain medications, if your clinician determines they are appropriate and prescribes them for you. To make things easier for you under these programs, we have combined all costs, including the cost of accessing the medication, credit card processing, shipping and professional fees, into a single monthly payment, which is then distributed by WW to the Providers as payment for their services. For medication access programs, you understand and agree that the monthly fee covers the estimated costs of accessing your medications identified on the checkout page during the billing cycle, which we pass on to the pharmacy Provider. Your first monthly payment will be charged to your credit card if and when your prescription is forwarded to the pharmacy, and subsequently, each month. Each time you agree to a medication refill, the costs associated with accessing the medication will be included in your invoice. Therefore, you may be refunded or charged additional amounts, depending on how much medication you received during a billing cycle.
- Pharmacy Choice. Your clinician may decide prescription medication is appropriate for your medical condition. In the event that a clinician prescribes a medication, except as otherwise stated in this section, you will be presented with options for securing the medications. Most prescriptions may be dispensed at the pharmacy of your choice. However, if you and your clinician determine that a “compounded medication” is appropriate and you accept the Informed Consent for Compounded GLP-1 Medications, you hereby agree to receive the medication from a compounding pharmacy that is available through WW Providers. Compounded medications may only be filled by a specific type of pharmacy with the qualifications needed to prepare the medication. Prescriptions for compounded medications are not generally available at local pharmacies. WW Providers have an arrangement with a compounding pharmacy that will fill your prescription for you in accordance with the specifications of your WW Provider and mail it to your home. If you do not wish to receive a prescription from the preferred compounding pharmacy, please do not participate in the program that provides access to such medications and advise your provider of your preference immediately.
I. Open Payments
For California patients, the state of California requires that physicians in California share notice of the Open Payments database. The Open Payments database is a federal tool used to search payments made by drug and device companies to physicians and teaching hospitals. It can be found at https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/. The federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act requires that detailed information about payment and other payments of value worth over ten dollars ($10) from manufacturers of drugs, medical devices, and biologics to physicians and teaching hospitals be made available to the public.
J. Termination
