When you provide any information to SHAPE for any reason, such as to register for the purchase of products or services, you agree to only provide true, accurate, current, and complete information.

If you have any concerns or objections regarding charges, you agree to raise them with us first and you agree not to cancel or reject any credit card charges unless you have made a reasonable attempt at resolving the matter directly with SHAPE. All prices are displayed in United States Dollars unless expressly indicated otherwise.
- Order Processing. SHAPE reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order prior to delivery. Orders may also be cancelled due to typographical errors, system failures, inaccuracies in product/service/subscription pricing information or availability, or problems identified by SHAPE’s credit or fraud departments. SHAPE also may require additional verification or information before accepting an order. SHAPE will contact you if any portion of your order is cancelled or if additional information is required to accept your order. If your order is cancelled after SHAPE processed your payment but prior to delivery, SHAPE will refund your payment. All purchases are also subject to applicable shipping and handling charges and sales and/or other taxes, which will be applied to Client’s order total. Taxes will be calculated based on the billing address provided.
- Personal Training Services. SHAPE offers certain online and personal training services on a case-by-case basis, which services consist of a ninety (90) day program customized to your specific requirements (“SHAPE Program”). Depending on the SHAPE Program designed for you, your services may be billed in one installment prior to the commencement of your SHAPE Program, or three (3) equal monthly installments over the course of your SHAPE Program. You authorize SHAPE to charge your payment card for the services purchased, plus applicable taxes. Monthly charges will typically occur on or around the same day of the month as your initial first installment, although some charges may be delayed for business or legal reasons. The purchase price for the SHAPE Program is for one user. Your customized SHAPE Program shall only be used by you and shall not be used by any other party or parties, including your friends, siblings, spouses, etc. We reserve the right to increase, modify, or discontinue certain personal training services and associated billing procedures, at any time without notice or any liability.
- Non-refundable Personal Training Services. All payments made for your SHAPE Program are non-refundable. You shall not be relieved of the obligation to make payments agreed to, and no deduction from or reimbursement of any payment shall be made because of your failure to participate and/or complete the SHAPE Program designed for you, unless such failure to complete is on the basis of death or disability and such disability somehow effects your capacity to use or enjoy the SHAPE Program. A physician must verify the condition. Upon cancellation for either reason, no further payments are required, and a prorated portion of any amount prepaid shall be refunded to you or your representative upon a written request made to info@modelshape.com.
- Credit Card Chargeback Policy. We protect the business and credit card companies, banks, and other institutions providing related services to us from fraudulent credit card chargebacks. A chargeback is fraudulent if the credit card holder disputes a legitimate charge for products the holder has purchased from a merchant. You hereby understand and agree that in the event you attempt to create a fraudulent chargeback, SHAPE will work with the relevant credit card company, bank, or other institution and law enforcement authorities to investigate the matter.
- Reservation of Rights. SHAPE reserves the right to suspend or terminate your interaction with the SHAPE Site for any or no reason, in its sole and absolute discretion, including your access, use, or purchase of any products, goods, or services that SHAPE provides.
- Other Terms and Conditions. SHAPE reserves the right to not process or cancel your order in certain circumstances. This may occur, for example, when the product or service you wish to purchase is out of stock or has been mispriced, we suspect the request is fraudulent, or in other circumstances SHAPE deems appropriate in its sole discretion. SHAPE also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to take steps to verify your identity to process your order. SHAPE will either not charge you or refund the charges for orders that we do not process or cancel. Replacement of products and credits to your account for shipped merchandise claimed as not received are subject to our investigation, which may include postal-service notification. We will adjust your account at our discretion. In the event that a refund is issued, it can only be issued to the original form of payment.
