Last Updated: March 11, 2026 | Effective Date: March 11, 2026
IMPORTANT: By participating in the Functioning Fitness Beta Testing Program, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Beta Testing Agreement, our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Health & Fitness Disclaimer.
1. Overview and Purpose
This Beta Testing Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between you ("Tester," "you," or "your") and Functioning Fitness LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") and governs your participation in the Functioning Fitness Beta Testing Program ("Beta Program").
The purpose of the Beta Program is to allow selected users to test pre-release versions of the Functioning Fitness mobile application ("Beta App") before its public launch. Your participation helps us identify bugs, improve usability, and ensure the app meets the needs of our target audience.
This Agreement supplements, and does not replace, our standard Terms of Service. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Terms of Service regarding beta-specific matters, this Agreement shall prevail.
2. Eligibility and Acceptance

To participate in the Beta Program, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Have a compatible mobile device (iOS or Android)
- Accept this Agreement in its entirety
- Be in sufficient health to safely perform household activities (see Section 5)
2.2 Limited Participation
The Beta Program is limited to a select number of testers at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to accept, reject, or revoke participation at any time without providing a reason. Being invited to the Beta Program does not guarantee continued access.
2.3 Acceptance
By installing the Beta App, creating an account during the beta period, or otherwise accessing the Beta Program, you indicate your acceptance of this Agreement.
3. Nature of Beta Software
YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE BETA APP IS PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE THAT:
- May contain bugs, errors, and defects

- May cause unexpected behavior on your device
- May experience data loss, corruption, or inaccuracies
- May be unstable or crash unexpectedly
- Is not a finished product and may differ significantly from any released version
- May have features that are incomplete, disabled, or removed before release
The Beta App is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. We make no warranties or representations regarding the reliability, availability, or performance of the Beta App.
4. Tester Responsibilities
As a beta tester, you agree to:
- Use the Beta App in good faith for its intended purpose

5. Health and Safety Acknowledgment
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY DURING BETA TESTING.
Functioning Fitness is a wellness application that tracks household activities as fitness. By participating in the Beta Program, you acknowledge and agree that:
- Calorie calculations may be inaccurate — MET-based calorie estimates in the Beta App have not been fully validated and may overestimate or underestimate actual calories burned
- Activity recommendations may be inappropriate — Features may suggest activities that are not suitable for your fitness level, age, or health conditions
- Health data may be unreliable — Any health-related data displayed in the Beta App should not be relied upon for medical decisions
- You should consult your healthcare provider before starting or modifying any exercise or wellness program, especially if you are over 50, have chronic health conditions, or take medications
- The Beta App is NOT a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition
For our complete health and safety information, please review our Health & Fitness Disclaimer.
6. Data Collection and Privacy
During the Beta Program, we may collect additional data beyond what is described in our standard Privacy Policy, including:
- Crash reports and diagnostic data — Automatic error logs, stack traces, and device information when the app encounters issues
- Usage analytics — How you navigate the app, which features you use, and how frequently
- Performance metrics — App load times, response times, and resource usage
- Feedback data — Your submitted bug reports, feature requests, and survey responses
- Device information — Operating system version, device model, screen size, and available storage
This additional data is collected solely to improve the application and will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Beta-specific diagnostic data will be deleted within 90 days of the Beta Program ending or your withdrawal from the program.
Data Loss Warning: Due to the nature of beta software, your data (including activity logs, achievements, and account information) may be lost, corrupted, or reset during the beta period. We strongly recommend not relying on the Beta App as your sole record of fitness activities.
