Our Digital Products
The 80KG System is currently sold as a downloadable digital product, supplied in PDF and EPUB format. The Build includes the book plus five companion guides, supplied as PDF downloads.
No physical book will be supplied unless a physical edition is expressly offered on the relevant sales page.
The product description, price and included format displayed at the time of purchase form part of these Terms and Conditions.
The Compound includes the book, the five companion guides and five further Compound guides, supplied as PDF downloads. The Blueprint to Build upgrade supplies the five companion guides to a customer who already has the book.
The Build and the Blueprint to Build upgrade include 3 months of Pro in The Bariatric Dad app, and The Compound includes 12 months. If more than one applies, the longest period applies; they do not add together. The book on its own does not include Pro. Included Pro access is linked to the email address used at checkout, starts when you first sign in to the app with that email after the app launches, has no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money. Use of the app is governed by the app's own Terms and Privacy Policy. Founding member price: the first 100 paying annual Pro subscriptions are offered at A$69.99 a year. Eligible members receive their offer by email before the public launch. This price is locked for as long as the Pro subscription stays active, even if standard prices rise. It ends if the subscription is cancelled, or if a payment fails and is not fixed within 30 days, after which Pro renews at the standard price. It covers Pro only.
