3. Understanding Synergic foods
You acknowledge and agree that the Synergic foods Service is a personalised self-help system designed to help you improve your own well-being and that if you choose to access the Synergic foods Service you are solely responsible for deciding which of the suggested techniques you put into practice and how to apply those techniques.
You also acknowledge and agree that Synergic foods is not a medical organisation and that the Synergic foods Service is not intended to diagnose, treat or otherwise address any medical problem. The material on the System, whether posted by Synergic foods employees, or other users, is provided for your information and not as medical advice and should not be seen as a replacement for consultation with a doctor or other qualified care professional. You are urged to seek the advice of a doctor before beginning any weight loss programme. If you receive advice from a doctor or other qualified medical professional which conflicts with anything contained in the System, then the former should take precedence. The Synergic foods Service, the App and this Website are not intended for use by minors, or pregnant women. Individuals with any type of health condition are specifically warned to seek professional medical advice prior to initiating any form of weight management programme.
4. Grant of right of use
The System is only available to either individuals who enter their card details, PayPal details, or who have had the Service commissioned for them by a third-party partner (e.g. their employer) ("Paid for Services"). Unless otherwise specified, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to make personal non-commercial use only of that content and those features of the System and Synergic foods Service in respect of which you or the third party have paid all applicable rental fees and charges, provided that you comply fully with the provisions of this Agreement.
5. Changes to the Agreement
Synergic foods reserves the right to vary this Agreement from time to time by amending this page. Registered users will be notified of changes by the email address we have for you on file. Any material amendments intending to bind an existing user of the System shall become effective 7 days after the email.
6. Your Health and Synergic foods
You are urged and advised to seek the advice of a doctor before beginning any lifestyle improvement program. If you have any other concerns or questions about your health or medicines, you should always consult an appropriate healthcare professional. Be cautious about embarking on vigorous exercise if you have any serious medical condition, including (but not limited to) back pain, high blood pressure or heart disease, or if you are pregnant. Always seek professional medical advice when contemplating any changes in your prescribed medicines.
This programme is intended as a lifestyle change guide and is therefore not classified as a medical device, meaning the programme should not replace any existing recommendations that have been given by a health care professional. The content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, support, diagnosis, or treatment.
Those with suspected/diagnosed eating disorders may be deemed ineligible to partake in the programme. Current best practice to diagnose and treat eating disorders supports the use of in-person therapy, which goes beyond our scope of practice.
Synergic foods is not suitable for women who are pregnant due to the different nutritional requirements to support growth and development during pregnancy. Women who are breastfeeding are eligible to partake in the programme. However, as this remains an important time for the growth and development of a child, it is essential that all nutritional requirements are met. Therefore, if you are breastfeeding, always seek professional medical advice.
Care has been taken to confirm that the dietary information presented on the System and contained within the Synergic foods Service is accurate and describes generally accepted practices. If we find, or are alerted to, a mistake, we will correct it as quickly as possible. However, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, the authors, editors and publishers are not responsible for errors or omissions, or for any consequences arising from the application of the information on the System, and make no warranty, express or implied, with respect to the contents, completeness or accuracy of the material published.

Until we are so notified you will remain liable for any unauthorized use of your account.
