Terms of Use

The Deal in One Paragraph

We publish educational and informational content about fitness, nutrition, wellness, healthy habits, and everyday lifestyle improvement. You can read our content freely, link to our pages, and use general ideas for your personal purposes. You may not republish our content, present it as your own, use it for unauthorized commercial purposes, or misuse the website or its resources. Information and results discussed on this website may vary from person to person.

The following sections explain these terms in greater detail.

Informational Content, Not Professional Advice

This is one of the most important sections of these Terms of Use. Shaped Me Better publishes information relating to fitness, nutrition, wellness, healthy habits, and lifestyle.

Our content is provided for general educational and informational purposes. It is not medical advice, nutritional treatment, diagnosis, or a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. Reading an article or contacting Shaped Me Better does not create a professional relationship between you and us.

Before making significant changes to your diet, beginning a new exercise program, taking a supplement, or making another health-related change, consider consulting an appropriately qualified healthcare or fitness professional who understands your individual circumstances.

This is particularly important if you have an existing medical condition, take medication, are pregnant, or are under 18.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, articles, original written content, images, graphics, logos, page designs, and branding published on Shaped Me Better are owned by or licensed to Shaped Me Better and may be protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may link to our pages, share links to our content, quote short passages with appropriate attribution, and print individual pages for personal use.

Republishing complete articles, commercially reusing our material, bulk downloading content, copying substantial portions of the website, or using website content as training data for artificial intelligence systems requires prior written permission unless otherwise permitted by applicable law.

Your Comments

If Shaped Me Better provides commenting or submission features, we welcome contributions that are relevant, respectful, and useful to other readers.

By submitting a comment or other material, you confirm that the content is yours or that you have the necessary rights to submit it, that it does not violate applicable law or another person’s rights, and that it does not contain harmful or misleading material.

Where applicable, by submitting content you grant Shaped Me Better a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to display, reproduce, edit, moderate, or remove that submission in connection with operating the website.

Moderation decisions are made at our discretion. Spam, abuse, impersonation, malicious material, excessive self-promotion, and inappropriate links may be removed.

How We Earn Money

Shaped Me Better may generate revenue through display advertising and affiliate relationships.

We may receive commissions when readers purchase qualifying products or services through certain affiliate links. These relationships do not give advertisers or retailers editorial control over what we publish.

Once you leave Shaped Me Better and visit a third-party website, that website’s own terms, privacy practices, and policies apply.

Fitness, nutrition, wellness, and lifestyle outcomes vary between individuals. Published results, examples, experiences, and testimonials are illustrations and should not be understood as guarantees of future results.

Liability Cap

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Shaped Me Better, its owners, contributors, writers, reviewers, contractors, and associated parties shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the website or reliance on its content.

This includes, where permitted by law, claims involving injury, health outcomes, loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or other consequential losses.

Nothing in these Terms of Use is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.

You Cover Us for Your Misuse

To the extent permitted by applicable law, if your violation of these Terms of Use or misuse of Shaped Me Better results in a third-party claim, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Shaped Me Better and its owners, contributors, writers, and associated parties from resulting claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal costs.

Where applicable, a copyright complaint should identify the copyrighted work, the specific URL or location of the material at issue, your contact information, and a statement confirming your good-faith belief that the disputed use is unauthorized.

We may review valid copyright complaints and take appropriate action where warranted.

Governing Law and Venue

These Terms of Use shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with applicable laws governing Shaped Me Better and its operations, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Any dispute arising from or relating to your use of the website shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights or protections provided by applicable law.

Updates and Severability

We may revise these Terms of Use from time to time. When changes are made, we may publish an updated version on this page and revise the “Last updated” date.
