LEANSQUAD reserves the right to contact the issuing bank/payment provider and/or law enforcement authorities or other appropriate third parties if there is suspicious activity.
No purchase for resale
The digital products (e.g. ebooks, training videos) that are available on the Platform are intended solely for direct sale to end consumers, and therefore the purchase of such digital products for resale (i.e. purchase with the intention for reselling the products to other consumers, business or third parties) is strictly prohibited. LEANSQUAD reserves the right to take any action to prevent resale of digital products, including restricting sales to you and cancelling any orders made by you.
PRICES AND PAYMENT
Prices and currency
The prices of products in an order will be at the prevailing prices displayed on the Platform when you check out. You will be able to verify the total price of your order prior to placing the order – this total price will include the price of all products as well as applicable shipping costs and taxes.
While prices for products may change over time on the Platform, these changes will not affect any orders that we have confirmed via an Email Confirmation.
While all payments made on the Platform for products that you order will be charged in United States Dollars (USD) and the invoice that you receive from LEANSQUAD will be denominated in USD, you can choose to view the prices of products in your local currency on the Platform. This conversion into your local currency is only for reference and may not always reflect the prevailing market currency conversion rate. Where the credit card or PayPal account that you use to pay for your order is denominated in a currency other than USD, you may be charged administrative and/or currency conversion fees by the applicable bank or service provider – you acknowledge and agree that you will be responsible for any such fees and that the prices listed on the Platform excludes such fees.
Payment methods and processing
You will only be able to make payment for your orders using the methods set out on the order checkout page on the Platform – these methods include PayPal and credit cards (via the Stripe platform). Please do not attempt to use any other payment methods as you may risk the loss of any payments made – LEANSQUAD will not be responsible or liable for any such losses.
Upon submitting your order on the LEANSQUAD webpage, the PayPal account or credit card (as applicable) that you selected will be charged for the amount of the order (including the applicable shipping charges and taxes).
Title transfer
LEANSQUAD will retain the title in any products that you have ordered until full payment of the total price (including applicable shipping costs and taxes).
SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
LEANSQUAD will happily ship your orders for products within Canada, the United States and to certain locations around the world.
RETURNS AND CANCELLATIONS
Cancellation of orders before shipment
Prior to an order being shipped by us, you may be able to cancel that order and receive a full refund of the purchase price and the shipping costs. However, we begin processing orders placed through the Platform promptly, and therefore, if you wish to cancel an order, please notify us as soon as possible at the following email address: info@lean-squad.com
Returning orders after shipment
Once an order has been shipped, you may exercise your statutory right of withdrawal by informing us of your desire to return the product within thirty (30) calendar days after the product is delivered to you. We require that your request to exercise a right of withdrawal is supported by proof of purchase (e.g. an invoice issued by LEANSQUAD). To exercise this right, please contact the LEANSQUAD team using the details set out in Clause 9 of the Terms of Use.
In exercising your right to withdraw, you must return the products to us without undue delay (and at your own cost) and no later than thirty (30) calendar days after you have first informed us of your desire to return the product. Upon our receipt of the returned products, we will refund the purchase price and the original shipping costs through the payment method that you used in placing the order. Alternatively, you can opt for the refund to be by way of a gift card of an equivalent value from LEANSQUAD.
Please ensure that the returned products are complete (e.g. all original packaging, accessories and/or documentation must be intact) and not used in any way. If you do not do this and this results in a reduction in the value of the product, we can hold you liable for such diminished value.
Defective products

POST-PREGNANCY ADDENDUM
These provisions apply when you participate in a program offered by LEANSQUAD on the platform and you are post-partum. If you do not agree to these provisions, you must not participate in the any LEANSQUAD Program.

In addition, you understand that, in participating in a Program, there is (amongst other potential health risks), a risk of organ prolapse, back pain, bladder leakage, poor C-section scar healing, and the rate of reduction of diastasis recti (abdomen separation post birth). You acknowledge that these matters can all be affected by the pace, frequency and nature of exercise that you engage in post pregnancy and that you need to use caution and seek professional health advice if you are at all unsure about your health or fitness to continue, or health concerns arise after, you have undertaken any exercise as part of a LEANSQUAD Program;
(b)
you have obtained and relied on the medical clearance of your doctor, physician, obstetrician or other medical professional in determining to participate (and once commenced, to continue participating in) a LEANSQUAD Program;
(c)
LEANSQUAD makes no representation or warranty that any particular fitness, nutrition or health program is suitable, safe or adequate for any particular User. Accordingly, LEANSQUAD is not aware of and cannot determine your individual suitability for the LEANSQUAD Program. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws, you will indemnify LEANSQUAD and the Associated Parties and hold them harmless against all claims, demands, lawsuits, actions, proceedings, investigations, liabilities, damages, losses, costs or expenses including reasonable attorneys' fees, in any way arising out of, in relation to or in connection with directly or indirectly:
(i)
your participation in a LEANSQUAD Program; or
(ii)
your breach of any of the provisions of the Post-Pregnancy Addendum;
(d)
any information provided by you to LEANSQUAD in connection with a LEANSQUAD Program, including the fact that you have received medical clearance to participate a LEANSQUAD Program, is true, and you further acknowledge that LEANSQUAD has relied on this representation in assuming that you can participate safely in the a LEANSQUAD Program; and
(e)
you know that you need to stop exercising and seek medical advice if at any time during or after having undertaken any exercise as part of a LEANSQUAD Program, you feel generally unwell or experience pain or discomfort, lower back or abdomen pain, or any other form of pain or symptoms (including without limitation any symptoms that your doctor, physician, obstetrician or other medical professional advised you of prior to engaging in a LEANSQUAD Program, or at any time thereafter).
