Terms of Service
Last updated March 5, 2024
Welcome to NoomVibe, a subsidiary of Noom, Inc. (collectively, “Noom,” “we,” “us,” “our”)! These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the services offered by Noom via NoomVibe’s websites and apps (“NoomVibe” or the “Service(s)”). Please read these Terms carefully, and contact us if you have any questions. By accessing or using NoomVibe and the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Community Guidelines, and any other supplemental terms or codes of conduct for the Service or offerings that you access (collectively, as may be amended from time to time, the “Terms of Service” or “Terms”).
NoomVibe provides its Services (described below) to you through its mobile application (“App”) and website located at www.noomvibe.com, and such other mobile applications and websites as may be added to NoomVibe from time to time (the “Sites”) and through its mobile applications and related services (collectively, such Services, including the Apps and any new features and applications, and the Sites, are the “Services)”), subject to the following Terms of Service. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Service at any time. If we do this, we will post the changes on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised. Any such changes will become effective immediately, and your continued use of the Services after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service.
SECTION 11 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION) CONTAINS PROVISIONS THAT GOVERN HOW TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 12) WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11 (OPT OUT): (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE DISPUTES OR CLAIMS AND SEEK RELIEF AGAINST US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION; AND (2) YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES OR CLAIMS AND SEEK RELIEF IN A COURT OF LAW AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL. IN ARBITRATION, THERE IS LESS DISCOVERY AND APPELLATE REVIEW THAN IN COURT.
You should print a copy of the Terms or save them to your computer for future reference. We reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to you, and you agree to receive legal notices electronically if that’s what we decide. We may revise this Agreement from time to time and the most current version will always be posted on our website. If a revision, in our discretion, is material, we’ll notify you and we may require you to provide consent to the new Agreement in a specified manner before further use of the Service is permitted. By continuing to access or use Noom after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Agreement. If you don’t agree to the revised Agreement, please stop using Noom and cancel your subscription as set forth in Section 6.6 below.

By using the Services, you consent to having your audio/voice recorded when you speak, and yourself to be video-recorded as applicable, while using the Services. For certain Services, these audio recordings are accessible on profiles, where they can be accessed by users of the relevant Service, may be distributed to the public or otherwise made publicly available by NoomVibe (including, without limitation, for publication and syndication on NoomVibe podcasts), and may also be available for sharing by other users.

You also understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Services, including your content, may involve (x) transmissions over various networks; and (y) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.
- Copyright Complaints: NoomVibe respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, you should notify NoomVibe of your infringement claim in accordance with the procedure set forth below.
- NoomVibe will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable intellectual property laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement. A notification of claimed copyright infringement should be emailed to NoomVibe at support@noomvibe (Subject line: “DMCA Takedown Request”).

- a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your Notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.
- Counter-Notice: If you believe your User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to upload and use the content in your User Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
- a statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and
- your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located within the District of New Jersey and a statement that you will accept Services of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
- If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, NoomVibe will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.
- Repeat Infringer Policy: In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, NoomVibe has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at NoomVibe's sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. NoomVibe may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Services and/or terminate the memberships of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
- Third-Party Websites: The Services may provide, or third parties may provide, links or other access to other sites and resources on the Internet. NoomVibe has no control over such sites and resources and NoomVibe is not responsible for and does not endorse such sites and resources. You further acknowledge and agree that NoomVibe will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any content, events, goods or Services available on or through any such site or resource. Any dealings you have with third parties found while using the Services are between you and the third party, and you agree that NoomVibe is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such third party.
- Social Networking Services
- You may enable or log in to the Services via various online third-party Services, such as social media and social networking Services like LinkedIn, Instagram or Twitter (“Social Networking Services”). In some instances, we may require provision of social media usernames for users of Noom and NoomVibe, or users who wish to become Coaches, Top Coaches, or Ambassadors/Influencers. By logging in or directly integrating these Social Networking Services into the Services, we make your online experiences richer and more personalized. To take advantage of this feature and capabilities, we may ask you to authenticate, register for or log into Social Networking Services on the websites of their respective providers. As part of such integration, the Social Networking Services will provide us with access to certain information that you have provided to such Social Networking Services, and we will use, store and disclose such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. For more information about the implications of activating these Social Networking Services and NoomVibe’s use, storage and disclosure of information related to you and your use of such Services within NoomVibe (including your friend lists and the like), please see our Privacy Policy at noomvibe.com/privacy. However, please remember that the manner in which Social Networking Services use, store, delete, and disclose your information is governed solely by the policies of such third parties, and NoomVibe shall have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of any third party site or Services that may be enabled within the Services.
- In addition, NoomVibe is not responsible for the accuracy, availability or reliability of any information, content, goods, data, opinions, advice or statements made available in connection with Social Networking Services. As such, NoomVibe is not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such Social Networking Services. NoomVibe enables these features merely as a convenience and the integration or inclusion of such features does not imply an endorsement or recommendation.
- Vibescoin ("Vibes”) is a loyalty points program that rewards users. Some of our Services may allow users and Coaches to collect Vibes. The activities that can generate Vibes and the amount of Vibes available for each activity will be posted here or on the relevant section of the applicable App or Service. Vibes are available only on NoomVibe and available to Coaches or users, subject to applicable terms and conditions of such Vibes. Once earned, Vibes may be exchanged for gift cards through our gift card vendor, charitable donations to specified organizations, or as otherwise indicated in NoomVibe. Vibes may not be transferred and have no cash value. Once used, they are non-refundable. Noom reserves the right to eliminate, adjust, and change all aspects of the Vibes program at any time, including the award levels or exchange rates attached to any particular activity, eligibility, and gift card or charitable cause reward levels. Noom reserves the right to revoke or stop issuing Vibes at any time and to set expiration dates for Vibes, without notice, refund, or compensation. Vibes may not be redeemed for money or monetary value. If you delete your account or it is terminated for any reason, you will forfeit any accumulated Vibes. Bugs or exploits in the granting of Vibes may occur. Bugs will be corrected at the sole discretion of Noom and will lead to the resetting of Vibes balances to proper levels at any time, as if the bug was not present, or to zero out your balance without any recourse. Suspected abuse or suspected exploits of Vibes by users will result in the deletion of an account without warning and the forfeiture of accumulated Vibes. The company may take such action against accounts that did not engage in problematic behavior. Coaches or specified users may redeem only 1 Vibes reward per calendar day. If more than 1 Vibes reward is redeemed or Noom observes or suspects any suspicious or malicious activity, they may be voided at Noom’’s sole discretion.
- Indemnity and Release: You agree to release, indemnify and hold NoomVibe and its affiliates and their officers, employees, directors and agents (collectively, “Indemnitees”) harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, any User Content, your connection to the Services, your violation of these Terms of Service or your violation of any rights of another. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.
You further release NoomVibe, its agents, employees, directors, officers and assigns from any and all claims you may have now or in the future for invasion of privacy, right of publicity, trademark infringement, copyright infringement, defamation or any other cause of action arising out of the use, modification, reproduction, adaptation, distribution, broadcast, performance or display of the User Content, including any use of your name, voice, visual likeness, photography, written material, and/or testimonials.

USERS ARE EXPECTED TO USE THEIR OWN DILIGENCE IF DECIDING TO MEET OR INTERACT WITH STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET.
- Limitation of Liability
- YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT NOOM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF NOOM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, RESULTING FROM: (I) THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES; (II) THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES RESULTING FROM ANY GOODS, DATA, INFORMATION OR SERVICES PURCHASED OR OBTAINED OR MESSAGES RECEIVED OR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH OR FROM THE SERVICES; (III) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA; (IV) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICES; OR (V) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SERVICES. IN NO EVENT WILL NOOM’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
- SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OR EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU OR BE ENFORCEABLE WITH RESPECT TO YOU. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICES OR WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICES, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICES.
- IF YOU ARE A USER FROM NEW JERSEY, THE FOREGOING SECTIONS TITLED “DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES” AND “LIMITATION OF LIABILITY” ARE INTENDED TO BE ONLY AS BROAD AS IS PERMITTED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.

- Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
- Resolving Disputes. If you have a problem with us that we can’t resolve, we and you agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the Services or your relationship with us, including claims that arose before the existence of this or any prior agreement (including claims related to advertising) or claims that may arise after the termination of this Terms of Service, will be resolved by individual arbitration (“Arbitration Agreement”). The exception is that we and you each may bring qualifying individual claims in “small claims” court, so long as those claims remain in small claims court and are not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction. All other disputes must be arbitrated on an individual basis, which means you and we are each waiving our right to sue in court and have a court or jury trial. To the extent there is a dispute as to whether claims qualify for small claims court, a court of competent jurisdiction will decide.
- Informal Dispute Resolution. You also agree that you will try in good faith to resolve any dispute informally before filing an arbitration. To start the informal dispute process, you must send an individualized written notice (“Notice of Dispute”) to Noom, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 450 W. 33rd. St., 11th Floor, New York, NY 10001 that includes (1) your name, phone number and email address for your account, and (2) a description of the dispute and how you’d like it resolved. If we have a dispute with you, we will send a Notice of Dispute with the same information to the email address we have on file for your account. Once a complete Notice of Dispute has been received, the recipient has 60 days to investigate and try to resolve the claims. If either side requests a settlement conference during this period, then you and we must cooperate to schedule that meeting by phone or videoconference. You and we each will personally participate and can each bring counsel, but the conference must be individualized, even if the same firm(s) represent multiple parties. For the claims asserted in the Notice of Dispute, any statute of limitations will be tolled from the date the Notice of Dispute is received until the later of (i) 60 days, or (ii) after a timely requested settlement conference is completed (“Informal Dispute Resolution Period”). An arbitration cannot be filed until the Informal Dispute Resolution Period has ended, and a court can enjoin the filing or prosecution of an arbitration in breach of this section. Nothing in this section precludes you or us from seeking relief for non-compliance with this Informal Dispute Resolution process in arbitration.
- What Arbitration Is. Arbitration is a more informal way to resolve our disagreements than a lawsuit in court. For instance, arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, involves more limited discovery, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Although the process is more informal, arbitrators can award the same individualized damages and relief that a court can award. You and we agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law govern the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. A court of competent jurisdiction has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding Arbitration Agreement. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and the termination of your Noom account.
- How Arbitration Works. Any arbitration will be administered by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) under the Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect for the NAM, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If the administrator is unwilling or unavailable to administer consistent with these Terms, the parties will agree on an alternative administrator that will do so. If no agreement can be made, then the parties agree to jointly petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an administrator that will do so. To initiate arbitration after the Informal Dispute Resolution process is complete, either you or we must file an arbitration demand with NAM. You may serve us with any arbitration demand by mail to: Noom, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 450 W. 33rd. St., 11th Floor, New York, NY 10001. You must include a signed certification of compliance with the Informal Dispute Resolution process. If we have a dispute with you, we will send an arbitration demand to the email address on file for your account. Unless we agree otherwise with you, the arbitration will be conducted in the county (or parish) where you reside. Each party will be responsible for paying any NAM filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with NAM Rules. As in court, the arbitrator shall apply governing law, any counsel must comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), and the arbitrator may impose any sanctions available under the NAM Rules, Rule 11, or other applicable law against the parties or their counsel. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision explaining the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction; however, an award that has been satisfied shall not be entered in any court. The arbitrator may consider rulings in other arbitrations involving different users, but an arbitrator’s decision will not be binding in proceedings involving different users. Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts, including for matters related to data security, intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service.
- Additional Procedures for Mass Filings. The following provisions set forth additional procedures that apply to mass filings. If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against us by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated, consistent with the definition and criteria of Mass Filings set forth in the NAM Rules, you and we understand and agree that these additional procedures shall apply and the resolution of your dispute might be delayed. The parties agree that throughout this process, their counsel shall meet and confer to discuss modifications to these procedures based on the particular needs of the Mass Filing. You and we agree that we each value the integrity and efficiency of arbitration and wish to employ the process for the fair resolution of genuine and sincere disputes between us. You and we acknowledge and agree to act in good faith to ensure the processes set forth herein are followed. The parties further agree that application of these Mass Filing procedures have been reasonably designed to result in an efficient and fair adjudication of claims. The parties are encouraged to meet and confer throughout this staged process and to discuss potential ways to modify procedures, increase efficiencies, and resolve claims.
- Stage One. Counsel for the claimants and counsel for us shall each select 25 claims per side to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. Each case shall be assigned to a different arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise. If there are fewer than 50 claims, all will be filed in individual arbitrations. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any administrative fees, other than applicable fees related to a procedural arbitrator, arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this initial set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties shall engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge to be jointly selected by counsel for the parties, and we shall pay the mediation fee.
- Stage Two. If the remaining claims are not resolved at this time, counsel for the claimants and counsel for us shall each select 50 claims per side to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process, subject to any procedural changes the parties agree to in writing following mediation or through continuing, good faith discussions. No more than two (2) cases may be assigned to a single arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise. If there are fewer than 100 claims, all will be filed in individual arbitrations. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this second set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties shall engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge to be jointly selected by counsel for the parties, and we shall pay the mediation fee.
Upon the conclusion of the second global mediation session (should the parties be unable to resolve the remaining claims), each remaining dispute (if any) that is not settled or not withdrawn shall be opted out of arbitration and may proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, counsel for the parties may mutually agree in writing to proceed with the adjudication of some or all of the remaining disputes in individual arbitrations consistent with the process set forth in Stage Two (except Disputes shall be randomly selected and mediation shall be elective by agreement of counsel) or through another mutually-agreeable process. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce the Additional Procedures for Mass Filings, including the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations and the assessment or collection of arbitration fees. The Additional Procedures for Mass Filings provision and each of its requirements are essential parts of this Arbitration Agreement. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court of competent jurisdiction decides that the Additional Procedures for Mass Filings apply to your dispute and are not enforceable, then your Dispute shall not proceed in arbitration and shall only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Terms. Any relevant limitations period (including statutes of limitations) and filing fee or other deadlines shall be tolled subject to these Additional Procedures for Mass Filings from the time the first cases are selected for a staged process until your claim is selected to proceed as part of a staged process or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration.
