Coaching Agreement & Disclosure

Drop Protocol provides personalized wellness coaching, education, planning, accountability, and lifestyle guidance.

The coaching process may consider areas including:

• Biomarkers
• Nutrition
• Training
• Recovery
• Lifestyle
• Supplement strategy
• Performance
• Body composition
• Overall vitality and quality of life

The purpose of coaching is to help you better understand relevant information, establish individualized strategies, implement those strategies in real life, measure progress, and refine your approach over time.

Drop Protocol coaching is not medical care.

Drop Protocol does not provide through this coaching relationship:

• Medical diagnosis
• Treatment of disease
• Prescription medication
• Modification of prescription medication
• Emergency medical services
• Physical therapy
• Medical nutrition therapy
• Replacement for care from a licensed healthcare professional

Laboratory information may be reviewed for educational and coaching context, but Drop Protocol does not diagnose disease or medically treat laboratory abnormalities.

You remain responsible for obtaining appropriate medical care from qualified licensed professionals.

Drop Protocol coaching is provided from a practical coaching, education, and lived-experience perspective.

The Founder & Coach does not represent himself as a physician, registered dietitian, physical therapist, or other licensed healthcare professional unless such credentials are expressly stated in writing.

Drop Protocol does not rely on implied medical credentials in marketing or delivery of its coaching services.

The coaching methodology follows:

Assess → Build → Execute → Measure → Refine

The process considers the individual as a whole rather than treating nutrition, training, recovery, lifestyle, supplements, and biomarkers as isolated areas.

The coaching strategy may address six primary foundations:

• Biomarkers
• Nutrition
• Training
• Recovery
• Lifestyle
• Supplement Strategy

The specific priorities and recommendations vary by client.

Personalized Coaching requires completion of the:

Biomarker Assessment & Personalized Protocol

Current fee:

$350

The assessment establishes the initial context and strategy for coaching.

Laboratory testing is purchased separately and is not included in the $350 assessment fee.

Personalized Coaching is:

$450 Per Month

and begins with a:

Three-Month Minimum Commitment

A new coaching enrollment therefore consists of:

$800 Due at Enrollment

Followed by:

Total initial assessment plus three-month coaching commitment:

$1,700

Laboratory testing is separate.

By enrolling in Personalized Coaching, Client understands and agrees that the initial coaching relationship is a three-month commitment.

Monthly payment of the coaching portion is a payment arrangement for the committed coaching cycle and does not make the initial coaching engagement month-to-month.

Choosing to stop participating before the end of the committed cycle does not automatically eliminate the remaining financial obligation for the agreed cycle, subject to applicable law or a written exception approved by Drop Protocol.

The initial coaching cycle does:

Not Automatically Renew Into Month 4.

After successful completion of the initial cycle, automatic coaching billing stops.

Continued coaching requires the applicable reassessment process and approval for another coaching cycle.

A future coaching cycle creates a new three-month commitment that must be separately authorized.

To continue coaching after a completed three-month coaching cycle (three calendar-month billing periods), Client must complete the applicable:

Quarterly Biomarker Reassessment & Protocol Update

Current fee:

$350

Updated laboratory testing is also required and purchased separately.

Continuation may require:

• Updated laboratory testing
• Review of updated laboratory information
• $350 reassessment payment
• Review of progress and priorities
• Updated protocol
• Approval for another coaching cycle

Payment of the reassessment fee alone does not automatically enroll Client in another coaching cycle.

Laboratory testing is an important component of the Drop Protocol assessment process but is purchased separately.

Drop Protocol may recommend Goodlabs as a convenient independent testing pathway.

Goodlabs is not owned or operated by Drop Protocol and is not mandatory.

Clients may provide sufficiently current laboratory results from another legitimate provider when those results satisfy the applicable baseline requirements.

Drop Protocol determines through human review whether submitted laboratory information provides sufficient baseline information for the applicable assessment.

Biomarker information is considered alongside other relevant factors such as:

• Goals
• Nutrition
• Training
• Recovery
• Lifestyle
• Supplement strategy
• Progress

Biomarker review within Drop Protocol coaching is educational and coaching-oriented.

It is not medical diagnosis or treatment.

Clients should discuss medical concerns, abnormal laboratory findings, medication decisions, and medical treatment with an appropriate licensed healthcare professional.

Personalized Coaching may include individualized:

• Total daily calorie targets
• Protein targets
• Carbohydrate targets
• Fat targets
• Strategic nutrition recommendations
• Adjustments based on progress and coaching goals

Drop Protocol does not provide recipe libraries or prescribed menus as a standard coaching deliverable.

Nutrition coaching is educational and wellness-oriented and is not medical nutrition therapy.

Personalized Coaching may include an individualized exercise program based on factors such as:

• Goals
• Experience
• Available training time
• Equipment
• Current capabilities
• Relevant physical limitations
• Recovery
• Progress

Exercise and physical activity involve inherent risk.

Client is responsible for exercising within their capabilities, using appropriate technique and equipment, and seeking appropriate medical or professional evaluation when necessary.

Drop Protocol exercise programming is not physical therapy or medical rehabilitation.

Personalized Coaching may include review and education concerning supplement strategy.

The objective may include helping Client:

• Review current supplement use
• Evaluate priorities
• Simplify unnecessary complexity
• Individualize a strategy
• Adjust the strategy over time

Supplement-related coaching is educational.

Drop Protocol does not prescribe medication or direct Client to discontinue or alter prescribed medication.

Client should involve an appropriate licensed healthcare professional when medical care, prescription medication, health conditions, or other circumstances make professional medical input appropriate.

Ongoing coaching may include weekly check-ins addressing areas such as:

• Energy
• Sleep
• Training
• Nutrition
• Stress
• Body weight where relevant
• Training completion
• Progress
• Challenges
• Questions
• Needed adjustments

Client understands that useful coaching depends in part on timely and accurate participation.

Failure to complete check-ins or implement agreed strategies may limit the usefulness of coaching.

Client agrees to:

• Provide accurate information
• Complete required intake information
• Complete applicable laboratory testing
• Communicate honestly about progress and challenges
• Participate reasonably in check-ins
• Use personal judgment
• Exercise within personal capabilities
• Seek medical care when appropriate
• Maintain account security
• Pay agreed fees when due

Client remains responsible for decisions concerning Client's own health, lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, supplement use, and medical care.

Drop Protocol does not guarantee specific results.

Individual outcomes vary based on numerous factors including:

• Starting point
• Biology
• Consistency
• Adherence
• Nutrition
• Training
• Recovery
• Sleep
• Lifestyle
• Other individual circumstances

The coaching relationship provides strategy, education, programming, support, and accountability but cannot guarantee a particular outcome.

Payment is currently accepted by card, processed through our payment processor, Stripe.

Drop Protocol & Vitality LLC may make additional payment methods available at its discretion. No other payment method is available unless Drop Protocol & Vitality LLC specifically makes it available to Client.

If a non-card payment method is specifically made available, that payment must be received and verified by Drop Protocol before it is treated as paid. Submitting a payment confirmation or reference does not by itself establish payment.

Client is responsible for amounts due under the agreed three-month coaching commitment.

If a scheduled coaching payment fails, the account may enter:

Payment Past Due

During an applicable retry period, coaching access may remain available.

If the payment remains unresolved, coaching may become:

Coaching Paused: Payment Required

A coaching cycle ending because of unpaid amounts is not treated as a successfully completed coaching cycle.

Previously delivered documents are not automatically deleted because of a payment-related pause.

Client may request to stop participating at any time.

However, because the initial coaching engagement is a three-month commitment, stopping participation does not automatically eliminate remaining amounts due for the committed cycle.

Drop Protocol may approve a written exception based on individual circumstances.

Nothing in this Agreement eliminates rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

Coaching communications may occur through the Drop Protocol client portal and other communication methods made available by Drop Protocol.

Client should not use coaching communications for emergencies.

Drop Protocol does not provide emergency medical services.

For an emergency or urgent medical concern, Client should contact appropriate emergency or licensed medical services.

Drop Protocol handles Client information according to the Drop Protocol & Vitality Privacy Policy.

Client should review the Privacy Policy before submitting personal information, laboratory reports, or other documents.

Protocols, training programs, nutrition targets, educational materials, and other personalized materials are intended for Client's personal use.

Client may retain copies for personal records but may not sell, commercially distribute, or represent Drop Protocol materials as Client's own work without authorization.

This Coaching Agreement & Disclosure supplements the Drop Protocol & Vitality Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Where a material conflict exists between this Agreement and the Terms of Service on a coaching-specific matter, this Agreement controls for that matter.

To enroll in coaching, Client must:

• Be at least 18 years of age; and
• Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

Client is responsible for ensuring that participation is lawful in the jurisdiction where Client resides.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Drop Protocol & Vitality LLC is a Missouri limited liability company.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive or limit any right or protection that cannot lawfully be waived or limited under applicable law.

Before commencing litigation, the parties should attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute directly. Client may begin that process by writing to contact@dropvitality.com, and the parties should allow a reasonable informal period of at least 30 days from that notice unless urgent or equitable relief is reasonably necessary.

If the dispute is not resolved informally, either party may pursue available remedies in a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, such disputes should be brought in an appropriate state or federal court located in the State of Missouri.

This Agreement does not require arbitration, does not waive any right to a jury trial, and does not waive participation in class or representative proceedings.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Drop Protocol will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss or damage arising from:

• Misuse of coaching or educational information
• A decision not to seek, or a delay in seeking, appropriate professional or medical care
• Inaccurate or incomplete information supplied by Client
• The acts, omissions, or availability of independent third-party services, including laboratories and payment processors
• Results or outcomes that were never guaranteed

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the aggregate liability of Drop Protocol & Vitality LLC arising out of or relating to a particular service or agreement will not exceed the amount actually paid by Client to Drop Protocol & Vitality LLC for the specific service giving rise to the claim during the applicable service period.

Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes liability for intentional misconduct, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Client is responsible for third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from Client's unlawful conduct, misuse of the services or Drop Protocol materials, material violation of this Agreement or the Terms of Service, knowingly false or materially misleading information supplied by Client, or infringement or misuse caused by materials Client supplies.

This section does not apply to Drop Protocol's own intentional misconduct, to liability that applicable law prohibits shifting, or to ordinary disagreements between the parties.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive or limit any right or protection that cannot lawfully be waived or limited under applicable law, including cancellation and refund rights required by applicable law.
