These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Merus website (merusmat.com), member platform (members.merusmat.com), and mobile and TV apps (together, the "Service"), operated by Merus Mat LLC ("Merus," "we," "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. By using the Service, you represent that you are 18 or older and able to enter a binding contract.

2. Your account
You are responsible for your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Keep your password secure and notify us at contact@merusmat.com of any unauthorized use. Accounts are personal and may not be shared or resold.

3. Membership and billing

• Merus is a paid subscription service. Current pricing: $18 per month or $175 per year, plus any applicable taxes. Prices are shown at checkout before you subscribe.

• Automatic renewal. Your membership renews automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) and your payment method is charged at the then-current rate until you cancel. Your renewal date is shown in your account settings.

• Free trial. New memberships begin with a 7-day free trial. You will not be charged until the trial ends. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid any charge. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when a paid period begins.

• How to cancel. You can cancel anytime in your account settings at members.merusmat.com, effective at the end of your current billing period. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, your billing is managed by that store and you must cancel through your device's subscription settings.

• Refunds. See our Refund & Cancellation Policy below on this page, which is part of these Terms.

• Price changes. We may change pricing with at least 30 days' notice by email. Price changes take effect at your next renewal. If you don't agree, cancel before the new price applies.

4. License to use the Service
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to stream and view Merus content for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not download (except through in-app features we provide), copy, record, redistribute, publicly perform, sell access to, or use Merus content to teach or provide services to others. All content, trademarks, and software on the Service are owned by Merus Mat LLC or its licensors and protected by law.

5. Member content and community
If the Service includes community features, you may post comments or other content ("Member Content"). You retain ownership of your Member Content and grant Merus a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and reproduce it in connection with operating and promoting the Service. You agree not to post content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, misleading, infringing, spam, or medical advice. We may remove Member Content or suspend accounts at our discretion. We do not endorse Member Content and are not responsible for it.

6. Copyright complaints
We respond to copyright notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. See our Copyright Policy below on this page for the notice procedure and our designated agent.

7. Health disclaimer and assumption of risk
The Service provides fitness content, not medical advice. Our Health & Fitness Disclaimer below on this page is part of these Terms. By using the Service, you acknowledge that exercise carries inherent risks, you voluntarily assume those risks, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Merus Mat LLC, its members, employees, and instructors from liability for injuries or damages arising from your participation in workouts or use of the Service.

8. Acceptable use
You agree not to: interfere with or disrupt the Service; access it by automated means; circumvent access controls or content protections; frame or mirror the Service; reverse-engineer the apps; or use the Service for any unlawful purpose.

9. Third-party services
The Service is delivered using third-party providers, including Uscreen (video platform) and payment processors such as Stripe, and may be purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Those services have their own terms, and purchases made through app stores are also subject to the store's terms and refund policies.

10. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service, or any particular fitness results.

11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Merus Mat LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of profits or data. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Merus Mat LLC and its members, employees, and instructors from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your Member Content, your violation of these Terms, or your misuse of the Service.

13. Dispute resolution: arbitration and class-action waiver
Please read this section carefully. Any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. The arbitration will take place in San Diego County, California, or remotely by video. You and Merus each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing contact@merusmat.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account email, and intent to opt out.

14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. For disputes not subject to arbitration, you and Merus consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Diego County, California.

15. Termination
You may stop using the Service and cancel at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, with or without notice. Sections 4, 7, and 10 through 14 survive termination.

16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will notify you by email or in the Service before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
