Version 1.2. Effective 8 October 2026.
These terms cover the Diet Discipline Coach app (the web version and the Android app) and the coaching program run through it. The dietdiscipline.com website has its own separate terms, and they do not describe this app.
The short version
- This is coaching, not medical care. I do not diagnose, I do not treat, and I never touch anything to do with your medication.
- It is invitation only. Without an invitation, a login cannot see anyone else’s data, and the app offers it nothing but redeeming an invitation, signing out and deleting itself.
- A program runs 8 weeks and then it ends. That is the design, not a lapse. It is not a subscription and it does not renew.
- I answer messages in two fixed windows a week, stated on day one. I am not on call.
- Nothing here promises a result. No pounds, no numbers, no timeline.
- What you write is yours. You can take it with you and you can delete it.
1. Who this agreement is between
You, and Diet Discipline, a one person health education and coaching practice that I, Reese, run in New York State, United States. In these terms, “I”, “me” and “my” refer to Diet Discipline, which I run and speak for.
By creating an account or using the app, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not accept the invitation.
2. What this is, and what it is not
Diet Discipline Coach is a health education and accountability service. I assign reading and short pieces of work, ask you to log what you actually do, look at your week, and hold you to a change you chose.
It is not health care, and this is the part to read twice.
- I am not a physician, not a Registered Dietitian, and not a Certified Nutritionist, and I do not hold myself out as any of them.
- I do not diagnose any condition, and I will not tell you what a symptom is caused by.
- I do not treat any condition and I do not provide medical nutrition therapy or therapeutic diets for a diagnosed condition.
- I will never advise you on your medication, or tell you to change, stop or delay anything a doctor has prescribed.
- Nothing in the app or the program is a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
Talk to your doctor before you change your diet, especially if you are pregnant, have a diagnosed condition, or take prescription medication. If something in the program conflicts with medical advice you have been given, the medical advice wins, every time.
I may decline or end a coaching relationship if what you need is clinical care rather than coaching. If so, I will say so and point you toward a Registered Dietitian or your physician. That is a boundary, not a judgment of you.
If you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number. This app is not monitored for emergencies and messages are not read in real time.
3. Invitation only
Access to the program comes from an invitation sent to a specific email address. Without an invitation, a login cannot see anyone else’s data, and the app offers it nothing but redeeming an invitation, signing out and deleting itself. An invitation cannot be transferred to someone else. Invitations expire.
You must be 18 or older and in the United States.
4. Your account
- Give a real name and a real email address. A typo in your email address creates an account you cannot recover.
- Keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
- One account per person. Do not share a login.
- Tell me if you think someone else has access to your account.
5. What you agree to do
The program only works on honest input, so:
- Log what actually happened, not what you meant to happen. A week you did badly is more useful to me than a week you rounded up.
- Do the homework, or say you did not. Silence is the only thing that cannot be coached.
- Communicate through the app rather than by text, DM or email, so that your record stays in one place and stays private.
6. What I agree to do
- Read your week and respond to it as a person, not with a template.
- Answer messages in two fixed windows each week, announced before the program starts. Outside those windows I am not reading messages. This is stated up front on purpose so nobody is waiting on a reply that is not coming until Thursday.
- Run the full 8 weeks and end on the date agreed at the start.
- Reply to support email within 2 business days.
7. Program length, price and payment
- A program is 8 weeks with a defined end date. It is not a subscription, it does not auto renew, and there is nothing to cancel.
- The price for your cohort is stated in writing before you start, and does not change during your 8 weeks.
- Payment happens outside the app. There is no purchase, no in app payment and no stored card anywhere in this product.
- Refunds: if you decide within the first 7 days that this is not for you, say so and you get your money back in full. After the first week, the program is not refundable, because the work has been assigned and the time has been committed. A refund ends the coaching relationship and your account is closed or exported at your choice.
- If I end the program early for a reason that is not your conduct, you get a pro rated refund of the weeks not delivered.
8. Beta cohorts
Some cohorts are explicitly a first run, and this is said clearly in the invitation. If you are in one:
- The app may have defects. Tell me and they get fixed.
- You may be asked for feedback and, separately, for permission to quote you. Quoting you anywhere requires your written permission each time. No permission is granted by these terms.
- The price is reduced or zero to reflect it.
- Everything else in these terms still applies, including the coaching boundaries in section 2.
9. Your content, and mine
- What you write stays yours. Your journal, messages, homework answers, logs and entries belong to you.
- You give me permission to store and display that content only for the purpose of coaching you, and nothing else. It is not used for marketing, it is not used to train anything, and it is not shown to anyone besides you and me. See the Privacy Policy.
- The program material is mine. The curriculum, homework, articles and app are Diet Discipline’s. Use them for yourself. Do not republish them, resell them, or run your own program off them.
10. Acceptable use
Do not use the app to harass anyone, to break the law, to attack or probe the service, to scrape it, or to get around the invitation system. Any of those ends your access immediately.
11. No guarantees
No result is promised. Not a weight, not a number, not a timeline, not an outcome of any kind. What is offered is the material, the structure, and a coach who actually looks at your week. What you get out of it depends on what you do, and on a great many things about your body that nobody in this app controls.
The app is provided as it is. I work to keep it running and honest, and I do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error free.
12. Ending it
- You can leave whenever you like. Export your data first if you want it: Settings, Export my data. Then delete your account, or ask me to.
- I can end the relationship for conduct under section 10, for non payment, or where section 2 applies. Except in the case of section 10, you get notice and a chance to export.
- When the 8 weeks end, your account and your data stay available to you. Nothing is deleted because a program finished. Retention is described in the Privacy Policy.
13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent the law allows, Diet Discipline is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from the app or the program. Total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the program.
Nothing here limits liability for fraud, or for anything that cannot be limited under New York law.
14. Changes to these terms
If these terms change in a way that matters, you will be told in the app before the change takes effect, and your price and program length never change mid program.
15. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, and any dispute belongs in the state or federal courts located in New York.
