This disclaimer establishes the operational scope of Noom's service model and allocates responsibility for medical decision-making to users and their healthcare providers. It defines the legal boundaries of the service by specifying what Noom does not provide and what users must independently verify.
Noom's updated terms make clearer that the platform provides behavioral support, not medical treatment, and that coaching and food data features may not be fully accurate. This clarification is important for users who might view Noom as a substitute for medical advice or treatment. The terms now explicitly reserve Noom's right to suspend or revoke your access at any time, which expands the company's unilateral control over your account. Review the updated terms carefully, especially if you rely on Noom for health management or have shared sensitive health information on the platform.
