## FAQ
- Q: Can the wristband integrate with our gym-management software?
  A: Yes — every dominant gym / fitness platform consumes the NFC chip's UID via SDK or middleware. Mindbody, ABC Fitness Solutions, PerfectGym, Glofox, Wodify, Club Automation, ClubReady, Jonas, MatrixOne, Daxko all support NFC reader integration natively or via API. Proud Tek provides UID lists (CSV manifest) with each order so IT can pre-load member-wristband associations before distribution. Switching wristband supplier is invisible to the platform layer — the chip silicon stays the same, only the form factor changes.
- Q: How long do NFC fitness wristbands last with daily gym use?
  A: The chip is rated 100,000+ EEPROM write cycles per NXP data sheets — effectively unlimited for read-only check-in use. Silicone band lifecycle is 1-2 years under daily gym wear; logo fade / snap fatigue typically prompts replacement before chip failure. Annual replacement is the standard maintenance cadence; replacement bands at lower per-unit cost than initial issuance — artwork and encoding templates already on file.
- Q: What is the MOQ and lead time?
  A: Custom Pantone colour + debossed logo: MOQ 500, lead time 12-15 business days. Stock colours (black / blue / red / green) with NTAG213 chip: shorter lead time, lower MOQ. Bulk annual supply agreements with quarterly delivery schedules and locked pricing available for chain operators ordering 5,000-50,000 bands per year. Sample run before bulk commit at no extra charge.
- Q: Why MIFARE DESFire EV2 / EV3 rather than MIFARE Classic 1K?
  A: MIFARE Classic uses CRYPTO-1 with documented academic attacks (Nohl & Plötz 2008, Garcia 2009, Courtois 2014) — no longer recommended for new payment or high-value access deployments. MIFARE DESFire EV2 / EV3 runs AES-128 mutual authentication with per-card key diversification (NXP AN10922) and is the current recommendation for multi-site chains and tap-to-pay deployments. MIFARE Plus EV2 SL3 is the pin-compatible AES upgrade path for operators with an installed Classic reader base.
- Q: Does this work alongside Apple Wallet / Google Wallet passes?
  A: Yes — wristband + wallet-pass mirroring is the standard modern pattern. Both the physical wristband and the digital wallet pass resolve to the same gym-platform member record. Members who prefer phone / Watch tap on alternate days use the wallet pass; members who want hands-free workout tap use the wristband. Apple PassKit + Google Wallet API integration is platform-side; the structural link is the wristband UID matching the wallet pass UID.
- Q: Is silicone the right material for everyone on my member base?
  A: Silicone is hypoallergenic and suits the vast majority of members — clears FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, EU REACH SVHC, RoHS, and the ISO 10993-5 / 10993-10 biocompatibility evaluation framework reference. For members with confirmed silicone sensitivity, Proud Tek stocks fabric and woven-nylon wristbands as alternatives — material-mix orders (silicone majority + small fabric SKU for sensitive members) are supported on the same PO.
