1. Agreement to these Terms

By creating an account or using AfriDish ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Vital Rise Health LLC ("AfriDish", "we", "us", "our").

2. Who may use AfriDish

You may use AfriDish only if:

  • You are 18 years of age or older.
  • You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.
  • Your use complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
  • You are not prohibited from receiving services under applicable law.

3. Account registration

You must register an account to use AfriDish. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date. You may not create an account on behalf of someone else without their consent.

4. Subscriptions and payments

AfriDish offers three paid subscription tiers: Standard ($9.99/month), Health Pro ($14.99/month), and Family Vault ($24.99/month). All new accounts receive a 7-day free trial.
