  • Verification: Eligibility for winning is contingent upon verifying that the participant has met and maintained the weight loss goal with the submitted ending full-body selfie and ending weight photo.
  • Rewards: Upon successfully meeting the weight loss goal, participants will receive a full refund of their participation fee. Additionally, a random reward between $20 to $100 will be granted. The specific reward amount is randomly selected and will be communicated to the winners at the conclusion of the challenge.
  • Payment Method: Payouts will be issued via PayPal within two weeks following the completion of the challenge. Participants requiring alternative payout methods should contact support@yescoach.ai to arrange suitable options.

3. Weigh-In Requirements

  • Initial and Final Weigh-Ins: Both initial and final weigh-ins involve submitting a full-body selfie and a weight photo. These photos must be submitted within designated timeframes (within 48 hours of signing up for the initial weigh-in and within 48 hours after the challenge ends for the final weigh-in).
  • Requirements for Photos:
    • Full Body Selfie: Taken in lightweight clothing, showing the participant from head to toe with a clearly visible face.
    • Weight Photo: Close-up of the scale to clearly show the weight, ensuring the scale is on a hard, flat surface.
    • Clothing and Scale Use: Participants should wear minimal attire such as workout clothes without accessories, ensuring consistent conditions for all weigh-ins.

4. Payment Options and Penalties

  • Monthly Payments: Participants must pay their subscription fee on a monthly basis.
  • Payment Failure: Failure to meet monthly payments will trigger a notification via email. Participants must resolve the payment issue within 48 hours of this notification. Failure to rectify the payment issue will lead to disqualification, and the participant will be barred from continuing in the challenge. All prior payments made will be forfeited.

5. Verification and Compliance

  • Photo Verification: All submissions must meet the specified criteria. Submissions that do not meet these criteria may trigger a review or audit.
  • Auditing: YesCoach reserves the right to audit or request additional information if discrepancies or inconsistencies are noted. This may include additional photographic evidence or a live verification session.
  • Disqualification for Non-Compliance: Participants who fail to comply with verification requests within the specified timeframe, or who are found to have cheated (including falsification of photos or manipulating scale readings), will be immediately disqualified. Disqualified participants forfeit any claim to prizes or refunds, and may be subject to a ban from future challenges.

6. Refunds

  • Exceptional Circumstances: Refunds are not available post-challenge entry, except under rare, documented medical circumstances. Valid medical documentation must be provided.
