Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: 11/2/26


Welcome to HRO (“the App”), a platform designed to support your health and fitness journey through gamified weight loss, exercise programs, and other related features. HRO is operated by SWAGR (“the Company” or “we” or “us”). By using the App—including as a Participant or Host—you agree to the following Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.


1. Eligibility and Age Verification

  • You must be at least 18 years old to use the App.

  • By creating an account, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age. During account registration, you will be required to confirm your age by checking a box stating “I confirm that I am 18 years of age or older.” This confirmation is mandatory to proceed.

  • We may request additional age or identity verification at any time, particularly for users participating in paid challenges or receiving payouts. Verification requirements may escalate based on transaction volume, payout amounts, or regulatory requirements as determined by our payment providers.

  • The App is not intended for, and should not be used by, individuals with pre-existing medical conditions or those taking medications that could be affected by exercise or weight loss without prior consultation with a qualified medical professional. Users with medical conditions use the App entirely at their own risk.

  • You must be legally able to enter into binding contracts to host or participate in challenges.

  • Accounts found to belong to individuals under 18 will be immediately terminated without refund.


1A. Content Rating and App Classification

  • This app is rated 18+ due to:

    • Real money transactions (in-app purchases for challenge entry fees)

    • Prize pools and monetized challenges

    • User-generated content

    • Collection of health and fitness data

  • Users under 18 are strictly prohibited from creating accounts, participating in challenges, or using any app features.


2. Medical Disclaimer and Assumption of Risk

The App is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The fitness, weight loss, and health-related information, advice, and programs provided by the App or its users are educational in nature only and should not be relied upon as medical guidance.

You must consult with a qualified healthcare professional before:

  • Beginning any exercise program

  • Starting any weight loss, nutrition, or dietary program

  • Making significant changes to your health routine

  • If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, injuries, disabilities, or are taking medications

  • If you are pregnant or nursing

Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability: You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Your use of the App and participation in any fitness, weight loss, or challenge-related activities is at your own risk.

  • You are solely responsible for assessing your own physical fitness, health status, and ability to participate safely.

  • SWAGR, its developers, owners, employees, and representatives are not responsible for any injuries, illnesses, cardiac events, deaths, adverse health outcomes, or other harm that may result from using the App or participating in any challenges or fitness activities recommended through the App.

  • You assume all risks associated with your participation.

  • You voluntarily assume responsibility for any injuries or damages that may occur, even if caused by negligence, and you release and hold harmless SWAGR from all liability.

No Professional Advice: User-generated content, recommendations from hosts, or fitness advice shared within the App does not constitute professional medical or fitness advice. SWAGR does not vet, endorse, or verify the qualifications of users who may provide fitness guidance.


3. Third-Party Services

  • The App may integrate with third-party services (e.g., meal delivery, fitness tracking devices). SWAGR is not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, or quality of these third-party services.

  • Your use of third-party services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.

4. Gamified Features and Challenges

  • The App offers gamified weight loss and challenge features, including participation in prize pools. To be eligible for prizes, users must meet the specific requirements for each challenge.

  • Any eligible user (18+) can host a challenge. However:

    • Non-verified users may create challenges with restrictions on total prize pool value.

    • Verified creators can host challenges with larger prize pools, create paid communities, produce video content, and access advanced features.

  • Verified creators can claim a commission for hosting a challenge, which will be deducted from the total prize pool.

  • The Challenge Host is responsible for declaring the winner. Prize funds cannot be paid until the winner is declared.

  • Host is responsible for covering the refund transaction costs of participants should a refund be required. This will be deducted from the total amount refunded to ‘host’ at the end of the refund process.

  • SWAGR reserves the right to verify user progress and eligibility before awarding any prizes. Cheating or fraudulent activity will result in disqualification and account termination.

  • Prizes are awarded at the sole discretion of SWAGR (for exclusive/platform-run challenges) or the user who is defined as the Challenge Host (whichever is applicable). However, prize awards must comply with all applicable local, state, and national gaming, gambling, and contest laws. By hosting or participating in challenges, all parties agree that they have verified the legality of the challenge under their applicable jurisdiction. SWAGR reserves the right to withhold or deny prizes if it reasonably believes a challenge violates applicable laws or these Terms.

  • Host commissions will not be paid until the relevant Challenge has been closed and review requirements completed.

  • You should only join challenges with people you know and trust if you are unsure about the verification process.


4A. Challenges Are Skill-Based, Not Gambling

  • HRO challenges are skill-based competitions, not gambling, lotteries, or games of chance.

  • Winners are determined by objective criteria such as:

    • Achievement of weight loss goals

    • Completion of fitness milestones

    • Adherence to challenge rules

  • Success depends on your effort, commitment, and skill—not random chance.

  • Entry fees do not improve your odds of winning. All participants compete on equal terms based on their individual performance.

  • HRO is not a gambling platform. We do not offer casino games, sports betting, or any games of chance.

  • Users are responsible for ensuring that participation in skill-based challenges is legal in their jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions may regulate skill-based competitions with entry fees differently.


4.1 Fraud prevention and dispute resolution

  • Fraud Prevention: SWAGR reserves the right to investigate any challenge or winner for signs of fraud, collusion, or manipulation. This investigation may include requesting additional documentation, verifying participant identity, or reviewing communication records. If fraud is suspected, SWAGR may: (a) withhold payout pending investigation, (b) disqualify participants, (c) refund all participant fees (minus transaction costs), and/or (d) terminate accounts. SWAGR’s decision is final and binding. Users waive their right to pursue legal action regarding SWAGR’s fraud determinations, except where prohibited by law.

  • Dispute Resolution: SWAGR will not intervene in disputes between participants and hosts unless: (a) these Terms are clearly violated, (b) fraud is suspected, or (c) platform integrity is at risk. For all other disputes, users agree to resolve matters directly with the relevant host or other participant. SWAGR’s refusal to intervene is not a waiver of SWAGR’s rights to take enforcement action if warranted.


5. Physical Bootcamps and In-Person Events

5.1 Bootcamp Overview

  • HRO allows users to create and participate in physical bootcamps—in-person fitness events, group workouts, or social fitness activities.

  • In the event of cancelling or changing subscription offerings, Verified Creators agree to keep content available for all existing premium subscribers until all current subscriptions have reached the end of their current billing cycle. Failing to do so may result community creators being liable for issuing pro-rata refunds or compensation at their own expense.

  • SWAGR reserves the right to suspend or remove Verified Creators who misuse participant data, engage in harassment, or fail to follow community standards.

  • By joining a verified creator community as a subscriber (and / or challenge participant) you acknowledge and agree to the following:

    • Some of their challenge-related data will be visible to the Host for verification and prize management purposes.

    • The creator may decide to cancel subscriptions for their community (including both free and paid options). In the event this occurs, any active premium subscribers (paid) will retain access to the creators content in a sunset format until the end of their current billing cycle. All premium subscribers agree that they are joining as a paid member at their own risk and the creator makes no guarantee to the length or fixed inclusions of their subscription offerings.

    • If you violate community rules or broader HRO terms and conditions, a creator may block or remove you from their community. In this situation you will not be eligible for a full or partial subscription refund. We expect all members to support a healthy, friendly and respectful environment.

2. Fees and Charges:

  • Both Stripe and Borderless may apply their own exchange rate markups and processing fees to the conversion.

3. No Guarantee of Amount:

6. Payout Hold for Fraud Investigation:

  • SWAGR or Borderless may hold payouts for investigation if fraud or irregularities are suspected.

  • Investigation holds may last up to 30 days or longer if required by law or regulation.

  • If fraud is confirmed, winnings will be forfeited and may not be returned.

  • If required to share proof (photos/videos) in a chat for verification, ensure it is honest and matches the Challenge requirements.

  • Do not misuse or distribute another user’s proof without their permission.


13.6 Moderation and Enforcement

  • SWAGR and Hosts may moderate chats to maintain a safe environment.

14. SWAGR’s Role

  • SWAGR is a neutral platform provider that facilitates payments, communication, and user discovery.

  • SWAGR does not directly organise or supervise Challenges (except for platform-run events). Hosts are responsible for their own rules, verification, winner selection, and prize distribution.

  • Failure of a Host to pay commissions or a participant to receive winnings

  • Harmful advice or recommendations provided by Hosts or other users

  • Violation of laws by users

  • Data breaches caused by user negligence or misuse

SWAGR’s remedies (suspension, termination, refunds) are provided in its sole discretion and are the exclusive remedy for user violations. SWAGR is not liable for any damages resulting from its enforcement or non-enforcement of these Terms.

We will provide notice to you of any such change and any choices you may have regarding your personal information. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before transferring health data in connection with a business transfer.


3.7 Aggregate and Anonymized Data

This data cannot identify you and is not subject to GDPR or CCPA restrictions. However, we will not combine anonymized data with other datasets in a way that could re-identify you.

However, we may share data with service providers as outlined above, and this sharing may indirectly benefit our business (e.g., by improving the App).

If you are a California resident, this means SWAGR does not engage in the "sale" of personal information as defined by the CCPA. You have the right to request that we not sell your data (though we don't currently do so).

4. Data Storage, Security, and Retention


4.1 Security Measures

SWAGR implements comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction:

Notification will be provided:

We will verify your identity before processing your request. If your request is unclear or vague, we may ask for clarification. We will respond within 30 days (45 days for complex requests) or inform you of any delays.

Note for California Residents: Under the CCPA, you also have the right to designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. Your agent must provide a power of attorney or other authorization.


6. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. SWAGR does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and use the App.

6.1 Age Verification

  • During account creation, all users must confirm they are 18 years or older by checking a mandatory age verification checkbox.

  • We may request additional age verification (such as government-issued ID) at any time.

  • Users who appear to be underage may be asked to provide proof of age or their account may be suspended pending verification.


6.2 Parental Involvement

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has created an account or provided information to SWAGR, please contact us immediately via our website at www.swagr.com, and we will investigate and delete the information.


6.3 Enforcement

  • Accounts found to belong to individuals under 18 will be immediately terminated without refund.

  • Any entry fees, winnings, or account balances will be forfeited.

  • We may report suspected underage use to parents/guardians or relevant authorities.


6.4 Legal Basis for Age Restriction

The age restriction exists because:

  • The App involves fitness and weight loss, which may not be appropriate for developing adolescents

  • The App involves financial transactions (entry fees, prize pools, and payouts), which require legal capacity to contract

  • Health data requires heightened protections for minors under privacy laws like COPPA (US) and GDPR

  • Participants must understand the health risks and medical disclaimers in our Terms and Conditions
