Terms of Service

Welcome to Breaking the Fast and NCIL Meal Company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website at https://www.breakingthefast.com ("Site") and all related services, including meal prep subscriptions, event catering, and online ordering ("Services").

By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use our Services.

1. Services Overview

Breaking the Fast operates two primary service lines:

• NCIL Meal Company: Fixed-rate weekly meal prep subscriptions with portions calculated based on your individual body metrics and goals. Menus rotate monthly.
• Breaking the Fast Events: Full-service event catering for weddings, private events, corporate functions, and private chef experiences.

We currently serve the Lansing, Detroit, and Grand Rapids metro areas in Michigan.

2. Meal Prep Subscriptions

Meal prep plans are offered at fixed weekly rates. Shipping and delivery fees are not included in the listed plan price. Menus change monthly and meal selections are made weekly through our order form. Calorie and macronutrient calculations are estimates based on the information you provide (height, weight, age, activity level) and are intended as general guidance, not medical or nutritional advice.

You may cancel or modify your subscription by contacting us directly at +1 (517) 216-8965 or info@breakingthefast.com. Cancellation requests must be made before the weekly order cutoff. Refunds for meals already prepared are not available.

3. Catering Services

Catering quotes are provided on a per-event basis and are subject to availability. A deposit may be required to secure your event date. Cancellation policies and refund terms will be outlined in your individual catering agreement.

4. Orders and Payment

All prices are listed in US dollars. We reserve the right to modify pricing at any time. Price changes will not affect orders that have already been confirmed and paid for. Payment terms will be communicated at the time of order or contract.
