Additional Terms: In addition, when using certain features through the Service, you will be subject to any additional terms applicable to such features that may be posted on or within the Service from time to time. All such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service.
Service Description: The Service is designed to provide users with an artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered health and wellness platform, through which users may receive: (a) AI-generated personalized wellness, fitness, and nutrition plans and recommendations informed by the goals, preferences, health information, and connected wearable device data that you provide; (b) AI-generated meal plans and grocery lists; (c) workout guidance and explanations; (d) proactive AI-generated notifications and insights (“Pulses”) based on your wearable data, training activity, and nutrition logs; (e) food logging, workout logging, and related tracking tools; (f) educational wellness content; and (g) supplementary human coaching services provided by strength coaches, certified nutritionists, and registered dietitians, as further described below. Certain features of the Service, including coaching services, may be available only to paid subscribers.
Important Medical Disclaimer; Not Medical Advice: THE SERVICES ARE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT GENERAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS AND ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THE SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE MEDICAL ADVICE. SHIFU HEALTH IS NOT A LICENSED MEDICAL PROVIDER OR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER AND DOES NOT ENGAGE IN THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE, NURSING, DIETETICS, NUTRITION, PHYSICAL THERAPY, MENTAL OR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE, OR ANY OTHER LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROFESSION. THE SERVICE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL AI-GENERATED PLANS, RECOMMENDATIONS, MEAL PLANS, GROCERY LISTS, WORKOUT EXPLANATIONS, PULSES, AND OTHER CONTENT, AND ALL COMMUNICATIONS FROM COACHES (AS DEFINED BELOW)) DOES NOT CONSTITUTE, AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR, PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. Use of the Services does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-patient, or other professional healthcare relationship. Always seek the advice of your physician or another qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, and before beginning any fitness, nutrition, weight management, or other wellness program (including any plan or recommendation made available through the Service), particularly if you have a pre-existing medical condition, are pregnant or nursing, are recovering from an injury or surgery, or have any other health concern. Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay in seeking it, because of anything you have read, received, or experienced through the Service. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 (or your local emergency services number) immediately. You acknowledge that participation in any fitness, nutrition, or other wellness activity carries inherent risks, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages, known or unknown, arising out of or relating to your participation in any such activities.
Coaching Services; Affiliated Practitioners: The Service may provide you with access to supplementary human coaching services delivered through in-app chat and text messaging by three types of coaches: (a) strength coaches, who focus on fitness, training, and body composition; (b) certified nutritionists, who focus on healthy eating habits, weight goals, meal planning, and general nutrition wellness; and (c) registered dietitians (each, a “Coach,” and collectively, “Coaches”). Strength coaches and certified nutritionists provide general wellness coaching services only; interactions with these Coaches are provided for general wellness and informational purposes only and do not constitute medical advice, medical nutrition therapy, or the practice of any licensed healthcare profession. Registered dietitians are licensed or credentialed nutrition professionals (“Affiliated Practitioners”) who may provide clinical nutrition services (including medical nutrition therapy), in each case solely to the extent permitted within such Affiliated Practitioner’s applicable scope of practice and licensure. ANY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY AN AFFILIATED PRACTITIONER ARE PROVIDED BY THAT AFFILIATED PRACTITIONER IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY, AND NOT BY SHIFU HEALTH. SHIFU HEALTH DOES NOT ITSELF PROVIDE ANY MEDICAL, CLINICAL, OR OTHER LICENSED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, AND DOES NOT DIRECT OR CONTROL THE PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT OF ANY COACH OR AFFILIATED PRACTITIONER. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SHIFU HEALTH AND THE OTHER SHIFU HEALTH PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY SERVICES, ADVICE, OR OTHER COMMUNICATIONS PROVIDED BY ANY COACH OR AFFILIATED PRACTITIONER. No Coach will provide medical diagnoses, prescribe medications, or provide treatment for any medical condition, and no Coach interaction is a substitute for care from your physician or other qualified healthcare provider. If a Coach determines that your question or concern falls outside the scope of the Service or of such Coach’s permitted scope of practice, the Coach may decline to respond, and Shifu Health or the Coach may suggest that you consult an appropriate licensed professional; any such suggestion or referral is provided as a courtesy only and does not create a patient-provider relationship between you and Shifu Health. Coach communications may be subject to automated or other quality and compliance review by Shifu Health. Coach response times may vary and are not guaranteed. You are solely responsible for evaluating, and for all decisions and actions you take based on, any information, suggestions, or support provided by any Coach or Affiliated Practitioner or otherwise made available through the Service.
Health Data and Wearable Integrations: The Service allows you to provide, and to connect third-party wearable devices and health platforms (such as Apple Health, Fitbit, WHOOP, Garmin Connect, and Google Fit) that provide, data about you and your health, fitness, and nutrition (collectively, “Health Data”). You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all Health Data that you provide to the Service or authorize the Service to collect. You acknowledge that the AI-generated plans, recommendations, and other outputs of the Service are based on the Health Data and other information made available to the Service, that Shifu Health does not independently verify Health Data (including Health Data received from third-party devices or platforms), and that outputs of the Service may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate for your individual circumstances, including if the underlying Health Data is inaccurate or incomplete. Our collection, use, and disclosure of Health Data and other personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy.
Your Registration Obligations: You may be required to register with Shifu Health or provide information about yourself (e.g., name and email address) in order to access and use certain features of the Service.

Competitors: No employee, independent contractor, agent, or affiliate of any competing health, wellness, fitness, or nutrition technology company is permitted to view, access, or use any portion of the Service without express written permission from Shifu Health. By viewing, using, or accessing the Service, you represent and warrant that you are not a competitor of Shifu Health or any Shifu Health Affiliate, or acting on behalf of a competitor of Shifu Health or any Shifu Health Affiliate in using or accessing the Service.
Fees: To the extent the Service or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, you may be required to select a payment plan and provide information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument to the applicable Distribution Channel (as defined below) or Payment Processor (as defined below). You represent and warrant to Shifu Health that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with Shifu Health or the applicable Distribution Channel or Payment Processor of any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay Shifu Health the amount that is specified in the payment plan in accordance with the terms of such plan and these Terms of Service. If your payment plan includes an ongoing subscription that is automatically renewed periodically, you hereby authorize Shifu Health (through the applicable Distribution Channel or Payment Processor) to bill your payment instrument in advance on such periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges, you must let Shifu Health know within sixty (60) days after the date that Shifu Health charges you, or within such longer period of time as may be required under applicable Law. Billing disputes and refund requests for purchases made through a Distribution Channel are handled by, and should be submitted to, the applicable Distribution Channel in accordance with its policies (for example, through Apple’s refund request process). We reserve the right to change Shifu Health’s prices. If Shifu Health does change prices, Shifu Health will provide notice of the change through the Service user interface, a pop-up notice, email, or through other reasonable means, at Shifu Health’s option, at least thirty (30) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. You will be responsible for all taxes associated with the Service, other than taxes based on Shifu Health’s net income.
Consult Credits: The Service may offer consumable credits that can be redeemed for eligible features of the Service, such as consults with Coaches (“Consult Credits”). Consult Credits are a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to redeem eligible features of the Service. They are not money or property and do not constitute a deposit, stored value, or a gift card or gift certificate. Consult Credits included with a subscription plan accrue while your subscription is active and are subject to an accumulation limit: once your unused plan credits reach the equivalent of three (3) months of plan credits, no additional plan credits will accrue until your balance falls below that limit. You may purchase additional Consult Credits at any time. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Consult Credits have no cash value and are not redeemable or refundable for cash. Purchases of Consult Credits through a Distribution Channel are subject to the applicable Distribution Channel’s terms, conditions and billing policies.
Payment Processing: Notwithstanding any amounts owed to Shifu Health hereunder, SHIFU HEALTH DOES NOT PROCESS PAYMENT FOR ANY SERVICES. To facilitate payment for the Service via bank account, credit card, or debit card, we use third-party payment processors (collectively, the “Payment Processors”, and each, a “Payment Processor”). These payment processing services are provided by the Payment Processors and are subject to the applicable Payment Processor’s terms and conditions, privacy policy, and all other relevant agreements (collectively, the “Payment Processor Agreements”). By agreeing to these Terms of Service, users that use the payment functions of the Service also agree to be bound by the applicable Payment Processor Agreement for the payment function the user is using, as the same may be modified by the applicable Payment Processor from time to time. If you purchase a subscription or other paid feature through a Distribution Channel, your payment will be processed by the applicable Distribution Channel, and such payment (and any related renewal, cancellation, or refund) will also be subject to the applicable Distribution Channel’s terms, conditions, and billing policies. If applicable, you hereby authorize the applicable Payment Processor to store and continue billing your specified payment method even after such payment method has expired, to avoid interruptions in payment for your use of the Service. Please contact the applicable Payment Processor for more information. Shifu Health assumes no liability or responsibility for any payments you make through the Service.
Refunds and Cancellations: Payments made by you hereunder are final and non-refundable unless otherwise determined by Shifu Health. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings in the Mobile Apps (which will direct you to the subscription management page of the applicable Distribution Channel), or through the applicable Distribution Channel directly (for example, for purchases made through Apple, in your device settings under your Apple ID > Subscriptions, or in the Subscriptions section of the App Store app). A subscription purchased through a Distribution Channel can be cancelled only through that Distribution Channel. Emailing us is not sufficient to cancel such a subscription, although you may contact us at support@shifu.health with any questions about your subscription. Unless otherwise stated in the Service or required by applicable law, cancellations take effect at the end of your then-current billing period, and you will retain access to the applicable paid features of the Service until that time. If you purchased your subscription through a Distribution Channel, your cancellation and any refund may be governed by, and may need to be effected through, the applicable Distribution Channel.
Commercial Use: Unless otherwise expressly authorized herein or in the Service, you agree not to display, distribute, license, perform, publish, reproduce, duplicate, copy, create derivative works from, modify, sell, resell, grant access to, transfer, or otherwise use or exploit any portion of the Service for any commercial purposes. The Service is for your personal use.

In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Mobile Services may be prohibited or restricted by your carrier, and not all Mobile Services may work with all carriers or devices.
Telephonic Communications Services: By using the Service and providing us with your telephone number(s), or by sending a text message to a telephone number that we make available, you are consenting to be contacted by Shifu Health or Shifu Health Affiliates by telephone (including on a recorded line), automated calling, automated telephone dialing system calling, automated system calling, artificial voice or pre-recorded calling, text message, SMS and/or MMS message, fax, or other telephonic or electronic means for marketing, solicitation, informational, or another purpose, even if your telephone number(s) is registered on the National Do Not Call List, a state Do Not Call List, or the internal Do Not Call List of Shifu Health or Shifu Health Affiliates. Text messaging is currently a primary means by which the Service communicates with users, including for Coach communications, Pulses, and other Service updates. You may be required to respond to an initial call or message as instructed to complete your registration and confirm enrollment to receive such calls, texts or other telephonic communications. You do not have to consent to receive calls or text messages from Shifu Health or Shifu Health Affiliates for marketing or solicitation purposes to purchase Shifu Health’s products or services. In the event you no longer wish to receive such calls, text messages or other telephonic communications, you agree to notify Shifu Health or Shifu Health Affiliates, as applicable, directly. In the event you change or deactivate your telephone number, you agree to promptly update your Shifu Health account information to ensure that your messages are not sent to a person that acquires your old telephone number.
There is no additional charge for telephonic communications, but your carrier’s standard message and data rates apply to any calls, text messages, SMS or MMS messages you send or receive. Your carrier may prohibit or restrict certain mobile features and certain mobile features may be incompatible with your carrier or mobile device. We are not liable for any delays in the receipt of, or any failures to receive, any calls, text messages, SMS or MMS messages, as delivery is subject to effective transmission by your mobile carrier and compatibility of your mobile device. Please contact your mobile carrier if you have any questions regarding these issues or your mobile data and messaging plan. You acknowledge that text messages, telephone calls, and emails may be unencrypted and carry a risk that the information contained in them, including information about your health, could be accessed by an unauthorized third party, and that Shifu Health cannot guarantee the security or confidentiality of communications sent to you outside of the Service.
By reply to any text, SMS, or MMS message you receive from us, you may text “STOP” to cancel or “HELP” for customer support information. If you choose to cancel text, SMS, or MMS messages from us, you agree to receive a final message from us confirming your cancellation.
To the extent the Service provides you with functionality that permits you to invite others to use the Service by providing the numbers of those you want to invite or by selecting the individuals you want to invite from your contacts list (if you have uploaded one), and taking the actions to send those individuals an invitation call or message, then by inviting others to use the Service, you represent to us that those you invite consent to receive the invitation calls or messages and that you are authorized to convey that consent to us.

Agreement to Arbitrate
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Shifu Health, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Service, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and Shifu Health are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND SHIFU HEALTH AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND SHIFU HEALTH AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Shifu Health is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at support@shifu.health. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Shifu Health should be sent to Supamill Inc. dba Shifu Health, Attn: Legal, 77 Van Ness Avenue, Mailbox #2018, San Francisco, CA 94102 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Shifu Health and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Shifu Health may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Shifu Health or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Shifu Health is entitled.
Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, https://www.adr.org/. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, https://www.adr.org/consumer. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Unless Shifu Health and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Shifu Health agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. To the extent any Arbitration Fees are not specifically allocated to either Shifu Health or you under the AAA Rules, Shifu Health and you shall split them equally; provided that if you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of such Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of any Arbitration Fees, Shifu Health will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Shifu Health will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms of Service will continue to apply.
Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, Shifu Health agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Service, you may reject any such change by sending Shifu Health written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
You agree that Shifu Health, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including for lack of use or if Shifu Health believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Service may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Shifu Health may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Shifu Health may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Shifu Health and Shifu Health Affiliates will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Service, and Shifu Health and Shifu Health Affiliates will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Shifu Health reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Service.
These Terms of Service (together with the terms incorporated by reference herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and Shifu Health governing your access and use of the Service, and supersede any prior agreements between you and Shifu Health with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use Third-Party Services, third-party content or third-party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Shifu Health submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Fresno County, California. The failure of Shifu Health to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any Law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of these Terms of Service and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Service to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Shifu Health, but Shifu Health may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. As used in these Terms of Service, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service. Shifu Health will not be in default hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations where such failure or delay is due to civil disturbances, riot, epidemic, hostilities, war, terrorist attack, embargo, natural disaster, acts of God, flood, fire, sabotage, fluctuations or unavailability of electrical power, network access or equipment, or any other circumstances or causes beyond Shifu Health’s reasonable control.
