If you purchased or received a Membership from a third party, including from an authorized third-party retailer or authorized third-party marketplace (each, an “Authorized Reseller”), this Agreement will apply to your use of the Services. This Agreement also applies to your use of the Services if you obtained a Membership for free, including a Free Trial (as defined in Section 7 below).

In addition, when using or receiving the Services, you may be subject to any additional terms applicable to such services (“Supplemental Terms”) that may be posted on the Services from time to time, or presented to you for your acceptance when you sign up for or access the additional Services. All such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. If the terms of this Terms of Use Agreement are inconsistent with the Supplemental Terms, then the Supplemental Terms control with respect to such additional service, but only to the extent of such inconsistency. Supplemental Terms include the Terms of Sale, which govern the purchase of WHOOP Devices and other Products (as defined therein).

If a change is material and you have registered an Account with us, we will also send an email with an updated copy of this Agreement to you at the email address associated with your Account. Unless otherwise stated in such update, any changes to this Agreement will be effective immediately for users without an Account and, for users with an Account, the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after posting and (ii) such user’s agreement or acceptance of the Agreement.

Various company, product, and service names displayed on the Services may be trademarks or service marks owned by others (the “Third-Party Trademarks”). Your use of the Services does not grant you, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Third-Party Trademark displayed on the Services.

Necessary Equipment
Use of your Membership is dependent, and other Services may be dependent, upon a supported Whoop Device, supported mobile device and internet access. It is your responsibility to ensure access to the internet and functionality of your mobile device. You are responsible for all internet access charges. Please check with your internet provider for information on possible internet data usage charges.
5. MEMBERSHIP
You must have an active Membership in place to use the Services
If you do not maintain a Membership or pay all Membership Fees when due, WHOOP may (i) terminate your access to some or all of the Services, including your Account until such Membership Fees are paid in full and/or (ii) terminate your Membership.
How you activate and pay for your Membership
If you purchased Services directly from WHOOP, your Membership will begin on the earlier of: (i) the day you connect your WHOOP Device, or (ii) thirty (30) days after delivery of your WHOOP Device by WHOOP for a purchase made by you, or sixty (60) days after delivery of your WHOOP Device by WHOOP for a gift given to you. Activation of trial memberships is described in Section 7. If you purchased Services from an Authorized Reseller, your Membership will begin on the day you connect your WHOOP Device.
How your Membership subscription works
5.1.1. Recurring Billing. Your Membership will continue and auto-renew at WHOOP’s then-current price for such Membership until you cancel such Membership in accordance with this Agreement. The specific terms of your Membership (including the frequency at which your Membership renews) are provided to you as part of your initial signup process and are incorporated into this Agreement.
By choosing and signing up for a recurring Membership, you acknowledge that the applicable Membership Fees plus applicable taxes will be billed at the start of your paid Membership (“Membership Commencement Date”) and thereafter, continuously, at regular intervals in accordance with your elections at the time of purchase until you cancel your Membership in accordance with this Agreement. By subscribing to a Membership, you authorize WHOOP to charge your credit card (or other designated payment form) for the Membership Fee plus applicable taxes at the time you subscribe and at the beginning of each subsequent Membership subscription period according to your subscription terms as described to you in the process of obtaining your Membership (e.g., monthly, annually, or biennially depending on your Membership) until you cancel your Membership.
If you have obtained a free Membership, your free Membership shall continue until the earlier of (1) the end of the applicable free Membership period (or if no period is stated, 1 month), or (2) when otherwise terminated in accordance with this Agreement. If your free Membership has lasted longer than 6 months for whatever reason, WHOOP reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, such free Membership, your Account and your access to the Services with or without notice.
5.1.2. Reaffirmation of Authorization. Your non-termination or continued use of your Membership reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment Method for any fees related to that Membership. We may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance or as otherwise described when you initially selected to purchase the Membership.
5.1.3. Changes to the Price and Membership Plans. We may change, and reserve the right to change, the pricing of Memberships and Services available under a Membership plan from time to time, by posting such changes on the Services. We will notify you at least fifteen days before any changes to your Membership Fee will become effective. If you do not wish to accept the price change or change to your Membership plan, you can cancel your Membership before the change takes effect.
5.1.4. Non-payment. If any Membership Fees due are outstanding, your Account will go into an inactive state three days after non-payment. In this inactive state, you will be unable to upload data from your WHOOP Device. You may, however, still be able to access any historical data, that is, data which is uploaded prior to your Account entering into an inactive state. Upon appropriate payment, your Account will be reactivated, and you will be able to utilize the full functionality of the Membership and your WHOOP Device. If your Membership has been placed into an inactive state due to late payment of Membership Fees there is a risk that the data that would otherwise have been collected during that period will not be available on your WHOOP Device or otherwise recoverable.
6. CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP
To change or cancel your Membership, go to Account settings at https://app.whoop.com or contact WHOOP at support@whoop.com. See here for detailed instructions.
If you cancel your Membership during the middle of our Membership term, your Membership will be terminated as of the expiration of your then-current term and will not be renewed. You may continue to use your Membership until the end of your then-current term. WHOOP will not provide any prorated refund of any portion of the Membership Fee paid for the then-current Membership term. If you do not want to continue to be charged on a recurring basis, you must cancel your Membership before the end of the then-current term. If you did not purchase your Membership directly from WHOOP, please refer to the party or method through which you purchased your Membership for cancellation instructions.
Upon termination of your Membership, all licenses granted to you under this Agreement shall terminate automatically, your right to use the Services shall cease and Your Content, as defined below, will no longer be available to you through the Services but you can request a copy of your data collected by the Whoop Device by following the instructions set forth in Section 9 of the WHOOP Privacy Policy. https://privacy.whoop.com/policies/en-US/.
7. WHOOP MEMBERSHIP FREE TRIALS
WHOOP may offer a free one-month trial period of its Membership to end users in select countries (a “Free Trial” or “WHOOP Trial”) to allow the end user to try certain Membership Services before committing to one of the WHOOP Membership options.
This Section sets forth additional legally binding terms and conditions that govern a WHOOP Trial.
Free Trials. If you select a Free Trial, you will be able to use a WHOOP Device and associated access to certain Membership Services during the Free Trial period. The WHOOP Device included in a Free Trial may be either a new or pre-owned WHOOP Device at the sole discretion of WHOOP. Any pre-owned WHOOP Device provided as part of a Free Trial will have been thoroughly inspected and tested to ensure it is ready for use, but may have slight cosmetic damage such as minor scratches.
Paid Membership. At the end of your Free Trial, your use of the Services will automatically roll into a paid Peak annual Membership at the Membership Fee in effect at the start of your Free Trial and you will be charged for such Membership as set forth above in this Section if you do not cancel prior to the Membership Commencement Date, unless you elect another Membership package prior to the end of your Free Trial, in which case your Free Trial will roll into a paid Membership of the type you elected. If you are inadvertently charged for a Membership and provide us with written notice of the error, WHOOP will have the charges reversed.
If you cancel your WHOOP Trial during the WHOOP Trial period, you must return your WHOOP Device within 14 days of cancellation (the “Return Period”). WHOOP reserves the right to charge for any shipping costs associated with a return of the WHOOP Device. If you cancel your WHOOP Trial but do not return your WHOOP Device within the Return Period, you will be charged a restocking fee of $129.
Eligibility. Free Trials are only available to new end users in select countries as indicated in the signup process. WHOOP Trials are subject to all other applicable terms and conditions set out in this Agreement and that accompany such offer.
8. PAYMENT OF FEES
Fees. You agree to pay the Membership Fees, and other fees for Services agreed upon by you, as described in this Agreement and during the purchase and payment process, including without limitation the initial Membership Fee (as described above). Any payment terms presented to you in the process of obtaining your Membership or other Services are deemed part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Unless otherwise stated herein, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all Membership Fees are non-refundable, even if you stop using the Services.
Billing. You must provide WHOOP with a valid credit card or other account information from a valid payment provider accepted by WHOOP (each, a “Payment Provider”) as a condition to signing up for a Membership and/or other subscriptions. We may collect payments from you directly or we may use a third-party payment processor (“Payment Processor”) for payment services. We use Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates (“Stripe”) as a third-party service provider for payment services. The processing of payments by a Payment Processor will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. You agree to be bound by Stripe’s Privacy Policy (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/us/privacy) and its Terms of Service (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/ssa) and hereby consent and authorize WHOOP and Stripe and any other Payment Processor to share any information and payment instructions you provide with each other and your Payment Provider to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions. We are not responsible for any errors by a Payment Processor. You shall pay all fees or charges (“Fees”) to your Account in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time a Fee is due and payable. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that we or a Payment Processor make even if we or a Payment Processor have already requested or received payment. WHOOP reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on the Services or by e-mail delivery to you.
Payment Method. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated payment method, and you must refer to that agreement, not this Agreement, to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing WHOOP with your credit card number or other payment information, you agree that WHOOP is authorized to immediately invoice your Account for all fees and charges as they become due and payable and that no additional notice or consent is required. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. If we, through a Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.
Current Information Required. You must provide current, complete and accurate information for your billing information. You must promptly update all information to keep your billing account current, complete and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date), and you must promptly notify us if your payment method is cancelled (e.g., for loss or theft) or if you become aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of your user name or password. Changes to such information can be made at “Account Settings” at https://app.whoop.com. If you fail to provide any of the information described above, you agree that we may continue charging you for any Fees under your Account unless you have terminated your Membership or any other related Services in accordance with this Agreement. SUCH TERMINATION WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT.
Taxes. The Fees do not include any Sales Tax (defined below) that may be due in connection with the Services provided under this Agreement. If WHOOP determines it has a legal obligation to collect Sales Tax from you in connection with this Agreement, WHOOP shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the Fees. If any services or products, or payments for any services or products, under this Agreement are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to WHOOP, you shall be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you shall indemnify WHOOP for any liability or expense WHOOP may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon WHOOP’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” means any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.
Withholding Taxes. You shall make all payments of Fees to WHOOP free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of Fees to WHOOP shall be your sole responsibility, and you shall provide WHOOP with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.
9. WHOOP ADVANCED LABS SERVICES
9.1. Subscriptions; Automatic Renewal. If you sign-up to receive certain clinical testing packages as a part of the WHOOP Advanced Labs Services on a recurring basis (a “Test Subscription”), your Test Subscription will continue and auto-renew annually at WHOOP’s then-current price for such Test Subscription plus applicable taxes until you cancel such Test Subscription in accordance with this Agreement. The Tests within the Test Subscription will expire 12 months after your Test Subscription purchase date. Tests included in New Test Subscription renewals will expire 12 months after the applicable renewal date. If you sign-up for a Test Subscription, the fee for such Test Subscription (“Test Subscription Fee”) plus applicable taxes will be billed at the start of the Test Subscription (“Test Subscription Commencement Date”) and continuously thereafter at regular intervals in accordance with your elections at the time of purchase, until you cancel your Test Subscription. By subscribing to the Test Subscription, you authorize WHOOP to charge the payment method designated in your Account, and again at the beginning of any subsequent Test Subscription period. WHOOP reserves the right to change the timing of our billing. WHOOP reserves the right to change the Test Subscription pricing at any time upon prior notice to you. WHOOP is not obligated to provide the Advanced Labs Services and access to the clinical testing to you until WHOOP accepts your order by a confirmatory email, SMS/MMS message, or other appropriate means of communication. Upon renewal of your Test Subscription, if WHOOP does not receive payment, (i) you shall pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand and/or (ii) you agree that WHOOP may either terminate or suspend your Test Subscription and continue to attempt to charge your designated payment method until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be re-activated for the remainder of your Membership subscription period, if any).
9.2. Cancelling Test Subscriptions Purchased via WHOOP. If you wish to cancel your Test Subscription to prevent it from automatically renewing, you may do so prior to the date of your next scheduled renewal by (i) logging into and going to the “Membership” page of your Account at app.whoop.com, clicking “Cancel Your Test Subscription” at the bottom of the page, selecting the applicable option based on your subscription type and status, and interacting as necessary with the cancellation interface, or (ii) contacting WHOOP at support@whoop.com. If you did not purchase your Test Subscription directly from WHOOP, please refer to the party or method through which you purchased your Test Subscription for cancellation instructions. Your cancellation will take effect at the end of the billing cycle in which you cancel, and you will maintain access to your clinical tests ordered with the Test Subscription (“Tests”) until their applicable expiration dates. Tests shall not be considered “Products” for purposes of WHOOP’s Terms of Sale.
9.3. Additional Tests. If you have a Test Subscription (“Then-Current Test Subscription”), you can add additional Tests in one of three (3) ways:
(1) Purchase a new Test Subscription (“New Test Subscription”) to be effective immediately upon purchase (“New Test Subscription Commencement Date”). Your New Test Subscription will continue and auto-renew annually from the New Test Subscription Commencement Date at WHOOP’s then-current price for such Test Subscription plus applicable taxes until you cancel such Test Subscription in accordance with this Agreement. Tests included in your New Test Subscription will expire 12 months after the New Test Subscription Commencement Date. Tests included in New Test Subscription renewals will expire 12 months after the applicable renewal date.
Your Then-Current Test Subscription will be terminated as of the New Test Subscription Commencement Date. Following such termination, you will still be able to use any unused Tests until the end of their original 12-month expiration period.
(2) Upgrade your Then-Current Test Subscription to be effective as of the end of the Then-Current Test Subscription’s annual term. Your Then-Current Test Subscription will automatically renew at the end of its then-current term (“Upgrade Effective Date”) and the fee for the upgraded Test Subscription plus applicable taxes will be billed on the Upgrade Effective Date and continuously on an annual basis, until you cancel your Then-Current Test Subscription. All Tests included in such upgrade will expire 12 months after the Upgrade Effective Date. Tests included in Test Subscription renewals will expire 12 months after the applicable renewal date.
(3) Buy Tests on an ad hoc, one-time, non-recurring basis (“Add-On Tests”). You will be billed the then-current term for such Add-On Tests on the date of your purchase. Your purchase of Add-On Tests will not affect the number of Tests that will be included in your Then-Current Test Subscription when it renews. All Tests purchased in this manner will expire 12 months after their purchase date.
9.4. Effect of WHOOP Membership Termination/Expiration on Your Advanced Labs Services. If you cancel your Membership in accordance with Section 6 above or your Membership is otherwise terminated, your Test Subscription will also be terminated. Following such termination, you will still be able to use any unused Tests until the end of their original 12-month expiration period (i.e. within 12-months of their purchase date). You are not entitled to purchase any Tests or Test Subscriptions through your Account after your Membership terminates or expires. You must have a Membership in order to purchase Tests and Test Subscriptions.
9.5. WHOOP Advanced Labs Supplemental Terms of Use. Your use of WHOOP Advanced Labs is governed by the WHOOP Terms of Use, which include the below terms and conditions specific to WHOOP Advanced Labs.
9.5.1. Limitations. A WHOOP Membership is required to access WHOOP Advanced Labs. WHOOP Advanced Labs and specific features of WHOOP Advanced Labs are not available in all regions, see the WHOOP website for the latest availability details. WHOOP Advanced Labs is not for use by members under 18 or pregnant members.
9.5.2. Availability and Expiration. WHOOP Advanced Labs provides members the opportunity to purchase access to certain laboratory tests (“Purchased Tests”). Each Purchased Test must be scheduled and completed within twelve (12) months from the date of purchase. Any Purchased Test that is not scheduled and completed within that twelve-month period will automatically expire and will no longer be available for use.
9.5.3. No Extensions or Refunds. Expired Purchased Tests are not eligible for extension, renewal, credit, or refund, regardless of whether the expiration results from a member’s scheduling limitations, failure to appear for a scheduled appointment, or other circumstances beyond the control of WHOOP.
9.5.4. Member Responsibilities. You are solely responsible for (a) scheduling and attending appointments for Purchased Tests within the applicable twelve-month period, and (b) ensuring that any required information, documentation, or consents are provided to WHOOP and its partners in a timely manner. WHOOP is not responsible for any inability to schedule or complete a Purchased Test prior to expiration. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when scheduling or completing a Purchased Test.

10. NO MEDICAL ADVICE
WHOOP Services are not medical advice and, except as otherwise indicated, WHOOP Services and the WHOOP Device are not a medical device.
WHOOP provides the Services for you to track, manage, and share your wellness-related information. All Content available through the Services is for general fitness and informational purposes only. WHOOP Services (e.g. heart rate, sleep analytics, and other biometric indicators) are subject to various limitations (e.g. poor signal quality or missing signal) and are not guaranteed to be error-free or accurate. Except as specifically indicated, WHOOP Services are intended solely for personal wellness tracking and not for making any medical decisions.
You should always consult a qualified and licensed medical professional prior to beginning or modifying any diet, exercise, consultations, or training program. You agree that your exercise and athletic activities carry certain inherent and significant risks of bodily injury, death or property damage, and that you voluntarily assume all known and unknown risks associated with these activities.
Use of the Services, or communication with us via the internet, e-mail or any other means, does not create any doctor-patient relationship. The Services and any results or Content displayed via the Services, whether provided by WHOOP or third parties, do not provide medical advice and are not intended to be a substitute for (i) advice from your doctor or other medical professionals, or (ii) a visit, call, or consultation with your doctor or other medical professionals.
The Services and the WHOOP Device are not a medical device except for Heart Screener feature(s) (not available in all countries, see feature information for detailed indications for use). Except for Heart Screener feature(s), the Services do not and are not intended to diagnose, prevent, monitor, treat or alleviate disease, diagnose, monitor, treat, alleviate or compensate for an injury or handicap, investigate, replace or modify the anatomy of a physiological process, control conception, or achieve its principle intended action in or on the human body by pharmacological, immunological or metabolic means, even if it is assisted in its function by such means. Except as indicated for Heart Screener feature(s), you should not use the Services or any Content on the Services for diagnosing or treating a health condition.
If you have any medical questions, please call or see your doctor or other healthcare provider. You should never disregard medical advice or delay in seeking medical advice because of any Content presented on the Services.
The WHOOP Services and the WHOOP Device are not intended for emergency or life-threatening situations. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.
Skin Sensitivities
Some people may experience skin reactions, including contact dermatitis, from contact with wearable devices. This may be due to prolonged contact, allergies or other sensitivities, environmental factors such as humidity, extended exposure to irritants such as soap, sweat, residual sanitizer, or other contaminants caught under the sensor, or other causes.
You may be more likely to experience irritation if you have eczema, allergies or other sensitivities, if you wear your WHOOP Device too tightly, or if you do not properly clean and care for your WHOOP. Please refer to support.whoop.com for information on how to set the proper band tension, and clean, and care for your WHOOP.
You may not notice early signs of irritation, so you should regularly check for irritation by removing the WHOOP Device and examining the area under your WHOOP. Changing the location of your WHOOP Device periodically can allow your skin to breathe and reduce the likelihood of irritation. Keeping your WHOOP clean and dry can also reduce the likelihood of skin irritation. Loosening the band may reduce the likelihood of irritation but may also degrade signal quality.
If you experience redness, swelling, itchiness, or any other irritation or discomfort on your skin around, or beneath your WHOOP, remove your WHOOP immediately from that location and if symptoms recur or persist for more than 2-3 days consult your physician before resuming wear. Continued use, even after symptoms subside, may result in renewed or increased irritation.
11. FITNESS-RELATED CONTENT
The Services may include training recommendations, and other media to help you meet your health, fitness, and wellness goals. You acknowledge and agree that WHOOP is not a healthcare provider, personal trainer or fitness instructor and that the Services (including any recommendations and any information available through the Services, including AI Technology, that may appear to be personalized) may not be appropriate for you. If you have any concerns about your health or fitness, you should consult your doctor before starting any new exercise program. WHOOP is not responsible for any results that may or may not be obtained from the use of the Service.
12. AI TECHNOLOGY
AI Technology is new and evolving. Some AI Technology, including third party LLM made available through the Services, allow users to submit queries or other prompts, and the AI Technology will generate and return to you content, recommendations, data, or other information through the Services (“Output”).
You acknowledge and agree that, in addition to the limitations and restrictions set forth in this Agreement, there are numerous limitations that apply with respect to AI Technology and the Output it generates, including that (i) it may contain errors or misleading information and may not be accurate or reliable; (ii) AI Technology is based on predefined rules and algorithms that lack the ability to think creatively and come up with new ideas and can result in repetitive or formulaic content; (iii) AI Technology can struggle with understanding the nuances of language, including slang, idioms, and cultural references, which can result in Output that is out of context or does not make sense; (iv) AI Technology does not have emotions and cannot understand or convey emotions in the way humans can, which can result in Output that lacks the empathy and emotion that humans are able to convey; (v) AI Technology can perpetuate biases that are present in the data used to train them, which can result in Output that is discriminatory or offensive; (vi) AI Technology can struggle with complex tasks that require reasoning, judgment and decision-making; (vii) AI Technology requires large amounts of data to train and generate content, and the data used to train AI Technology may be of poor quality or biased, which will negatively impact the accuracy and quality of the generated Output; and (viii) AI Technology-generated Output can lack the personal touch that comes with content created by humans, which can make it seem cold and impersonal.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT AI TECHNOLOGY IS NOT A HUMAN AND IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR HUMAN INTERACTION AND ADVICE. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WHOOP DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY RESPONSES WILL BE HELPFUL OR ACCURATE. GENERATIVE AI TECHNOLOGY IS KNOWN TO HALLUCINATE OR OTHERWISE PROVIDE INCORRECT ANSWERS. YOU UNDERSTAND THIS IS A TOOL AND RESOURCE BUT IS INTENDED ONLY AS A SUPPLEMENT TO YOUR INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION AND JUDGMENT AND CONSULTATION WITH A PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. You will use independent judgement and discretion before relying on or otherwise using Output. Output is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE OUTPUTS ARE BASED ON YOUR INQUIRIES AND OTHER USER CONTENT YOU PROVIDE TO THE AI TECHNOLOGY, AND THAT WHOOP HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY SUCH USER CONTENT. ACCORDINGLY, ALL OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH “ALL FAULTS,” AND WHOOP MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WITH RESPECT TO ANY USER CONTENT, INCLUDING YOUR CONTENT, OR OUTPUTS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TRUTHFULNESS, TIMELINESS, OR SUITABILITY.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WHOOP BEARS NO LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF AI TECHNOLOGY.
13. CHANGES TO SERVICES
We may modify the Services from time to time.
We can always change the Services without notification or refund or reimbursement:
- to comply with law, regulation, court order, or government action;
- to make technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat;

Such request must be made within 30 days of the relevant change or you waive your ability to seek a refund.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE WHOOP PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE OR DATA, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES OR COSTS DUE TO LOSS OF PRODUCTION OR USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, IN EACH CASE WHETHER OR NOT ANY WHOOP PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES, OR ANY COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS OR MEETINGS WITH OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES OR THIRD PARTIES, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING TO THE EXTENT RESULTING FROM: (i) THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES; (ii) ANY GOODS, DATA, INFORMATION OR SERVICE PURCHASED OR OBTAINED; OR MESSAGES RECEIVED FOR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH THE SERVICES; (iii) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA; (iv) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICES; OR (v) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATED TO THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, COPYRIGHT, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY DOES NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY OF A WHOOP PARTY FOR (A) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY A WHOOP PARTY’S NEGLIGENCE; OR FOR (A) ANY INJURY CAUSED BY A WHOOP PARTY’S FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE WHOOP PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR MORE THAN THE GREATER OF (i) THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID TO WHOOP BY YOU DURING THE TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE ACT, OMISSION OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY; (ii) $100; OR (iii) IF APPLICABLE, THE STATUTORY REMEDY OR PENALTY IMPOSED BY THE STATUTE UNDER WHICH SUCH CLAIM ARISES. THE FOREGOING CAP ON LIABILITY DOES NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY OF A WHOOP PARTY FOR (A) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY A WHOOP PARTY’S NEGLIGENCE; OR (B) ANY INJURY CAUSED BY A WHOOP PARTY’S FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WHOOP ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TIMELINESS, DELETION, MIS-DELIVERY OR FAILURE TO STORE ANY CONTENT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, YOUR CONTENT AND USER CONTENT), USER COMMUNICATIONS OR PERSONALIZATION SETTINGS.
In some countries and certain jurisdictions, consumer protection laws may not allow certain disclaimers or exclusions or limitations of liability and consequently some of the disclaimers, exclusions and limitations of liability in this Agreement may not apply in whole or in part. In some countries and jurisdictions, this may include liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. In such cases, our liability shall not be limited as prohibited by law, and shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
If the laws of your country or jurisdiction would otherwise remove all limitations of liability set forth above, then in such case we provide the following explicit limitation in place of the limitations of liability set forth above: (1) We do not accept responsibility for any loss or damage that was not caused by our breach of this Agreement or that was not, at the time you agreed to this Agreement, a reasonably foreseeable consequence of us breaching this Agreement; and (2) We do not limit liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN WHOOP AND YOU.
20. INDEMNITY
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to hold us and our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, suppliers, employees, partners and licensors harmless from and against any claims, actions or demands, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising or resulting from (i) Your Content, (ii) your breach of this Agreement, (iii) your uploading of, access to, connection to, or use or misuse of the Content or the Services, including any Outputs, or (iv) your violation of applicable laws, rules and regulations. You agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting our defense of such matter.
21. TERM AND TERMINATION
Term. The term of this Agreement commences on the date when you accept this Agreement (as described in the preamble above) and continues in full force and effect while you use the Services, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement.
Termination of Service by WHOOP. If you have materially breached any provision of this Agreement, or if WHOOP is required to do so by law (e.g., where the provision of the Services is, or becomes, unlawful), WHOOP has the right to, immediately and without notice, suspend or terminate any Services provided to you. WHOOP reserves the right to terminate this Agreement or your access to the Services at any time without cause upon notice to you and in the event we exercise this termination right, we will refund you for any pre-paid portion of any unused subscriptions for Services. You agree that all terminations for cause are made in WHOOP’s sole discretion and that WHOOP shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account.
Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, or the Services or the applicable feature or functionality thereof, your right to use the Services or the applicable feature or functionality thereof (as applicable) will automatically terminate, and we may delete Your Content associated therewith from our live databases. If we terminate your Account for cause, we may also bar your further use or access to the Services. WHOOP will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Your Content. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive, will survive termination of Services and this Agreement, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
No Subsequent Registration. If this Agreement is terminated for cause by WHOOP or if your Account or ability to access the Services is discontinued by WHOOP due to your violation of any portion of this Agreement or for conduct otherwise deemed inappropriate, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access the Services through use of a different member name or otherwise.
22. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”) BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and WHOOP agree that any disagreement, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, including the WHOOP Device, any Tests ordered through the Services, Memberships, Test Subscriptions, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed by WHOOP, or the Agreement and prior versions of the Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (1) you and WHOOP may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (2) you or WHOOP may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that were not noticed at the time you first became subject to this Agreement but that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the Agreement as well as disputes that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.
Informal Dispute Resolution. There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and WHOOP. If that occurs, WHOOP is committed to working with you to reach a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial resolution. You and WHOOP agree to participate in good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes before starting an arbitration or initiating an action in small claims court (“Informal Dispute Resolution”). You and WHOOP agree that as part of these efforts, either party has the option to ask the other to meet and confer telephonically (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you must also personally participate.
To initiate Informal Dispute Resolution, a party must give notice in writing to the other party (“Notice”). Such Notice to WHOOP should be sent by email to legalnotices@whoop.com or regular mail to our offices located at One Kenmore Square, #601, Boston, MA 02215. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, and e‐mail address associated with your Account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of the Dispute, including the specific relief sought. WHOOP will send Notice, including a description of the Dispute, to your email address or regular address on file. It is your responsibility to ensure your email and regular address are correct and remain up to date. The Notice must be signed by the party initiating the Dispute (i.e., either you personally or a WHOOP representative).
The Informal Dispute Resolution process lasts 45 days and is a mandatory precondition to commencing arbitration. The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, if requested by either party, shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms or organizations represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree.
The statute of limitations and any filing deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in Informal Dispute Resolution.
Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND WHOOP HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and WHOOP are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the subsection entitled “Applicability of Arbitration Agreement” above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. EACH OF WHOOP AND YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party's individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under the subsection 22.9 entitled “Batch Arbitration.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, determines that the limitations of this subsection, “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and WHOOP agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the courts designated by Section 23.1 below. The parties agree that any claims or requests for relief that are severed from an arbitration may not proceed in litigation and shall be stayed until all Disputes between the parties that remain in arbitration are finally resolved. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or WHOOP from participating in a class-wide or mass settlement of claims.
Rules and Forum. The Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement, including the procedures governing Batch Arbitration, and any arbitration. If Informal Dispute Resolution does not resolve satisfactorily within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a Notice, or after completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, if requested, you and WHOOP agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration.
The arbitration will be administered by the National Arbitration & Mediation ("NAM”) in accordance with the NAM Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedure (the “NAM Comprehensive Rules”) in effect at the time of arbitration , except as supplemented, where applicable, by the NAM Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (the “NAM Mass Filing Rules”; together with the NAM Comprehensive Rules, the “NAM Rules”), and as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The NAM Rules are currently available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/.
A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Demand”). The Demand must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration, and the Account username (if applicable), as well as the email address associated with any applicable Account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) a statement certifying that the requesting party will pay any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration. Any Demand you send to WHOOP should be sent by email to legalnotices@whoop.com or regular mail to our offices located at One Kenmore Square, #601, Boston, MA 02215. WHOOP will provide the Demand to your email or regular address on file. It is your responsibility to keep your contact information up to date.
If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Demand shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Demand. By signing the Demand, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that, consistent with the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b): (1) the Demand is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery (“Counsel’s Certification”).
Unless you and WHOOP otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in subsection 22.9 is triggered, the arbitration, including any in-person arbitration hearing, will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the NAM Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration. If NAM is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any NAM fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable NAM fee schedules (the “Fee Schedules”).
You and WHOOP agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.
You and WHOOP agree that at least 14 days before the date set for an arbitration hearing, any party may serve an offer in writing upon the other party to allow judgment on specified terms. If the offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party fails to obtain a more favorable award, the other party shall not recover any post-offer costs to which they otherwise would be entitled and shall pay the offering party’s costs from the time of the offer.
Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Massachusetts and will be selected by the parties from NAM's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Demand, then NAM will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with NAM Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under subsection 22.9 is triggered, NAM, without soliciting input or feedback from any party, will appoint the arbitrator for each batch , subject to your right to object to that appointment.
Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes regarding the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except that all Disputes regarding the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including any claim that all or part of that subsection is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such subsection has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. Unless fee shifting is specifically authorized by law or by the NAM Rules, the parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Demand was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). To the extent, following a presentation on the merits, on its own motion or a party’s, and after affording a reasonable opportunity to respond, an arbitrator determines that a party who commenced arbitration did not bring its claim(s) consistent with Counsel’s Certification and the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), the parties agree that the arbitrator shall, as part of its award, impose sanctions by ordering that the initiating party reimburse the responding party for all arbitration filing and administrative fees and arbitrator costs the responding party incurred under the Fee Schedules.
Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and WHOOP agree that in the event that there are twenty-five (25) or more individual Demands of a substantially similar nature filed against WHOOP by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a reasonably proximate period of time, for example, a ninety (90) day period, NAM shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Demands per batch (or, if between twenty-five (25) and ninety-nine (99) individual Demands are filed, a single batch of all those Demands, and, to the extent there are fewer than 100 Demands remaining after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Demands); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch on a consolidated basis with one set of filing and administrative fees due per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award, which will provide for any and all relief to which the arbitrator determines each individual party is entitled (“Batch Arbitration”). NAM shall administer all batches concurrently, to the extent possible.
All parties agree that Demands are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issue(s) and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise NAM, and NAM shall appoint a sole standing Procedural Arbitrator or, should the circumstances so require, an Emergency Arbitrator, according to the NAM Rules, to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (the Procedural Arbitrator or Emergency Arbitrator, the “Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by WHOOP.
You and WHOOP agree to cooperate in good faith with NAM to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Demands, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.
This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing or creating a class, collective, and/or representative arbitration or action of any kind, except as expressly set forth in this provision, and nothing about the Batch Arbitration process will preclude any party from participating in any arbitration administered according to that process.
30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: legalnotices@whoop.com, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. Any opt-out notice will be effective only if you send it yourself, on an individual basis, and opt out notices from any third-party purporting to act on your behalf will have no effect on your or WHOOP’S rights. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any arbitration agreements that you may currently have with us, including any previous versions of this Arbitration Agreement to which you agreed and did not timely opt out, which will remain in effect, and has no effect on any arbitration agreements with us you may enter in the future.
Invalidity, Expiration. Except as provided in the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief,” if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement (other than Section 22.9) are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. However, if Section 22.9 of this Arbitration Agreement is found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable then, in that case, the entire Arbitration Agreement shall be void, and the parties agree that all Disputes will be heard in the state or federal courts designated by Section 23.1 below. You further agree that any Dispute that you have with WHOOP as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred. Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction.
Modification. You and we agree that WHOOP retains the right to modify this Arbitration Agreement in the future. Any such changes will be shared via email and you should check for updates regularly. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if WHOOP makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will notify you. Your continued use of the WHOOP Device and/or Services, including the acceptance of products and services offered by WHOOP following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement, constitutes your acceptance of any such changes. If you have previously agreed to a version of this Agreement with an arbitration agreement and you did not validity opt of arbitration then, changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of your previous agreement to arbitrate. WHOOP will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of this Agreement.
23. GENERAL
Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, without respect to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent that the Dispute is not covered by any arbitration agreement between you and us, it shall proceed before the state or federal courts located in the City of Boston in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). We expressly agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of those courts. If you are resident in the EEA, Switzerland or the UK, or a country in which the Arbitration Agreement is prohibited by local law, the Arbitration Agreement does not apply to you, and the Agreement, your use of the Services and any WHOOP Device and any Disputes between WHOOP and you will be exclusively governed by foreign law, and exclusively decided in the courts of Ireland, except to the extent prohibited by law. If you are an individual consumer, you may be entitled to invoke the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence, and/or to bring legal proceedings in the courts of that country. If WHOOP needs to enforce its rights against you as an individual consumer in the EEA, we will do so only in your country of residence. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded.
Limitation on Claims. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the WHOOP Device or Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.
Assignment. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted under this Agreement, may not be transferred or assigned by you without our prior written approval, but may be freely assigned by us. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of our successors and permitted assigns.
Severability. Subject to Sections 22.4 and 22.11, if any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
Non-Waiver. Failure by us to act on or enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective against us unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance.
Entire Agreement. Except as expressly agreed by us and you, this Agreement and any other terms presented to you in connection with your creation of your Account and payment of Membership Fees constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter, and supersede all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter.
Survival. All sections of this Agreement that, by their nature, should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, the sections entitled User Content, Indemnity, Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability, Dispute Resolution, and General.
Choice of Language. It is the express wish of the parties that this Agreement and all related documents have been drawn up in English. This Agreement, and any contract between you and us, are only in the English language. C’est la volonté expresse des parties que la presente convention ainsi que les documents qui s’y rattacent soient rediges en anglais.
Third Party Distribution Channels. WHOOP offers software applications that may be made available through the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store or other distribution channels (“Distribution Channels”). If you obtain such software through a Distribution Channel, you may be subject to additional terms of the Distribution Channel. This Agreement is between you and us only, and not with the Distribution Channel. To the extent that you utilize any other third party products and services in connection with your use of our Services, you agree to comply with all applicable terms of any agreement for such third party products and services.
With respect to Software that is made available for your use in connection with an Apple-branded product (such Software, “Apple-Enabled Software”), in addition to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the following terms and conditions apply:
- WHOOP and you acknowledge that this Agreement is concluded between WHOOP and you only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”), and that as between WHOOP and Apple, WHOOP, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Apple-Enabled Software and the content thereof.
- You may not use the Apple-Enabled Software in any manner that is in violation of or inconsistent with the Usage Rules set forth for Apple-Enabled Software in, or otherwise be in conflict with, the App Store Terms of Service.

- Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance or support services with respect to the Apple-Enabled Software.
- Apple is not responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law. In the event of any failure of the Apple-Enabled Software to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the Apple-Enabled Software to you, if any; and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Apple-Enabled Software, or any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty, which will be the sole responsibility of WHOOP, to the extent it cannot be disclaimed under applicable law.
- WHOOP and you acknowledge that WHOOP, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims of you or any third party relating to the Apple-Enabled Software or your possession and/or use of that Apple-Enabled Software, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Apple-Enabled Software fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
- In the event of any third-party claim that the Apple-Enabled Software or the end-user’s possession and use of that Apple-Enabled Software infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between WHOOP and Apple, WHOOP, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
- You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- If you have any questions, complaints or claims with respect to the Apple-Enabled Software, they should be directed to WHOOP at the e-mail address, phone number or mailing address set forth in Section 24 of this Agreement.
WHOOP and you acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement with respect to the Apple-Enabled Software, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you with respect to the Apple-Enabled Software as a third party beneficiary thereof.
Electronic Communications. The communications between you and WHOOP may take place via electronic means, whether you visit the Services or send WHOOP emails, or whether WHOOP posts notices on the Services or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you (i) consent to receive communications from WHOOP in an electronic form; and (ii) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that WHOOP electronically provides to you satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights, including but not limited to the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act at 15 U.S.C. §7001 et seq. (“E-Sign”).
Notice. Where WHOOP requires that you provide an email address, you are responsible for providing WHOOP with a valid and current email address. In the event that the email address you provide to WHOOP is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required by this Agreement, WHOOP’s dispatch of the email containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice of any changes to your email address to WHOOP at the address in Section 24 below. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by WHOOP by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
Force Majeure.

25. MEMBERSHIP UPGRADE POLICY
If you are a current member upgrading to the 5.0 or MG sensor and the Peak or Life membership tiers, you have certain options as presented in the process of obtaining your Membership.
Membership Extension
You may extend your Membership at the price and for the duration presented to you when you obtain such extension. The total value of the remaining term of your current Membership will be divided by the monthly equivalent for the Membership tier to which you upgrade, and the resulting number of months will be added to your new Membership. Note that this may mean that the new duration of remaining term of your Membership is less than the total number of your current remaining months. For example, if you have 6 months remaining in the term of your Membership, and if you upgrade from a $20/month Membership to a $30/month membership, your remaining 6 months of Membership will be reduced to 4 months of Membership at the higher tier. Once the remaining new term of your then-current Membership is completed, you will begin the duration of the new Membership you purchased as part of your upgrade. All renewals will be at the then-current price for the new Membership.
Upgrade Fee
As an alternative to purchasing a new upgraded Membership, you may pay a one-time upgrade fee to receive a 5.0 or MG sensor. The total value of the remaining term of your current Membership will be divided by the monthly equivalent for the Membership tier to which you upgrade, and the resulting number of months will be added to your new Membership. Note that this may mean that the new term of your remaining Membership is less than the total number of your current remaining months. For example, if you have 6 months remaining in the term of your Membership, and if you upgrade from a $20/month Membership to a $30/month membership, your remaining 6 months of Membership will be reduced to 4 months of Membership at the higher tier. When your current Membership expires, you will need to purchase a new Membership at the tier you select.
Continuing Support
WHOOP will continue to support your current 4.0 sensor and Membership for a period of time, but reserves the right to end support at its discretion. At such time you will be required to upgrade in order to maintain your Membership. You will have the same upgrade options outlined directly above.
