Effective date: June 7, 2026

Welcome to Muscle Deficient Vegan. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of muscledeficientvegan.com (the “Site”), operated by VeGAINS Fitness & Nutrition LLC, doing business as Muscle Deficient Vegan (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site.

You may use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:

Use the Site in any way that violates applicable laws
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or connected systems
Scrape, harvest, or bulk-download Site content except as permitted by our published robots.txt

Educational Content — Not Medical Advice

Content on this Site — articles, guides, calculators, e-books, newsletters, and coaching — provides educational information about fitness and nutrition. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for consultation with a physician, registered dietitian, or other qualified health provider.

Consult your physician before beginning any exercise or nutrition program, especially if you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or take medication.
Resistance training and physical exercise carry inherent risks, including injury. You assume full responsibility for your participation in any program or exercise described on this Site.
Results vary. Nothing on this Site guarantees any specific fitness, body-composition, or health outcome.

See the full Health & Fitness Disclaimer, which is incorporated into these Terms.

Interactive Tools

Tools such as the TDEE Calculator provide general estimates based on standard formulas. Estimates are starting points, not prescriptions, and may not be appropriate for your individual circumstances. Use of any tool output is at your own risk.

Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — articles, guides, photographs, graphics, logos, e-books, calculators, and training materials — is owned by VeGAINS Fitness & Nutrition LLC or its licensors and is protected by copyright and trademark law.

You may:

Read, use, and apply the information for your personal training and nutrition
Share links to our articles on social media or your own site
Quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link back

You may not, without our prior written permission:

Republish an article, e-book, or training material in full anywhere
Use our photographs or graphics in your own content
Sell, redistribute, or repackage our content, including paid e-books, free downloads, and coaching materials
Use coaching program materials for anyone other than yourself, including your own clients if you are a coach or trainer

Digital Products

Paid digital products (such as the Fitness Jump Start e-book) are delivered electronically and licensed for your personal use only. Because digital products cannot be returned, all digital sales are final, except where a download is defective and we cannot remedy it, or where applicable law requires a refund. See our Refund & Returns Policy.

Coaching Services

If you apply for or enroll in online coaching, the following terms apply in addition to everything above. Enrolled clients also sign a separate coaching agreement and liability waiver during onboarding; if anything in that agreement conflicts with these Terms, the coaching agreement controls for the coaching relationship.

Eligibility. Coaching is available only to adults 18 and over.
Application and enrollment. Enrollment is by application. We review applications and may accept or decline at our discretion. Acceptance, tier recommendation, and program delivery timelines are described during the application process.
Nature of the service. Coaching provides individualized educational guidance on training and nutrition, program design, macro education, technique feedback, and accountability. It is delivered asynchronously (no guaranteed live availability). Nutrition coaching is education and guidance, not prescriptive meal planning, medical nutrition therapy, or treatment of any condition.
Your responsibilities. You agree to provide accurate information (including about injuries and limitations), to exercise within your own capabilities, and to stop and seek medical attention if you experience pain, dizziness, or other warning signs. You are responsible for obtaining medical clearance where appropriate.
Billing. Coaching is billed as a recurring subscription at the tier rate displayed at enrollment, processed by our payment processor. You may cancel future renewals at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Fees already paid are non-refundable except as stated in our Refund & Returns Policy or required by law.
Termination. We may end a coaching relationship with a pro-rated refund of any unused full billing period if we determine the service isn’t a fit. We may terminate without refund for abusive conduct or material violation of these Terms.
Assumption of risk. Physical training involves inherent risk of injury. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with participating in a coaching program, and you release VeGAINS Fitness & Nutrition LLC from liability for injuries or health outcomes arising from your participation, except where caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct. The signed waiver completed at onboarding contains the full assumption-of-risk and release terms.

Free Downloads and Email

Free downloads (such as the Lifting Cheat Sheet) are offered in exchange for joining our email list. You may unsubscribe at any time and keep what you’ve already received. Free downloads are for personal use only and may not be redistributed.

By posting a comment, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to display, reproduce, and moderate that content on the Site. You represent that your content is your own and doesn’t infringe anyone’s rights. We may edit or remove comments that are spam, abusive, off-topic, or otherwise objectionable, at our sole discretion. We are not responsible for the content of user comments.

Unsolicited Ideas

Please don’t send us unsolicited ideas, content, or materials you consider your intellectual property unless we’ve signed a written agreement covering them first. If you do submit such material without an agreement, you grant us a worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, and distribute it in any media.

Affiliate Links and Third-Party Content

Some links are affiliate links (including Amazon links: as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases). See our Disclosure Policy. We are not responsible for third-party products, services, or websites; your dealings with merchants are solely between you and them.

Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE, ALL CONTENT, AND ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY PROGRAM WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VEGAINS FITNESS & NUTRITION LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE, ITS CONTENT, OR OUR SERVICES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THE SITE, OUR SERVICES, OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE OR (B) USD $50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless VeGAINS Fitness & Nutrition LLC from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site or our services.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site (including shop accounts) at any time for violation of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, assumption of risk, limitation of liability, indemnification) survive.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in the State of Indiana, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

General Provisions

Electronic communications. By using the Site or contacting us electronically, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically, and that electronic agreements, notices, and disclosures satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing.
Force majeure. Except for payment obligations, neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a sale or reorganization of the business.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or our right to enforce it later.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the policies they reference and any additional signed agreements (such as the coaching agreement), constitute the entire agreement between you and VeGAINS Fitness & Nutrition LLC regarding the Site. Where an additional signed agreement conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement controls.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Effective date” above reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. For enrolled coaching clients, material changes to coaching terms will be communicated before they apply to you.
