6.2 If you are resident in the EU, you can access the Content usually available through your specific Subscription when visiting another EU country, at no extra cost. This means that you can enjoy the same service abroad that you would at home; you will be accessing the same Content, in the same language, that you access through your Subscription when you are at home.

6.3 The number of devices on which you may simultaneously watch Content via your Subscription is limited to three (3).

6.4 The availability and quality of the GIAFIT Service and Content may vary from computer to computer, and device to device due to a variety of factors, such as your location, your carrier, the bandwidth available through and/or speed of your internet connection.

  1. Updates and Changes to the Service

7.1 We may regularly make updates and changes to any element of the GIAFIT Service or the Content for example to (i) ensure compliance with applicable laws and/or reflect change in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, such as mandatory consumer laws; (ii) perform temporary maintenance, fix bugs, implement technical adjustments and make improvements, (iii) update, upgrade or amend the GIAFIT Service; (iv) alter the structure, design, or layout of the GIAFIT Service, such as changing the branding; (v) for security reasons; and (vi) for anti-piracy reasons. In particular, the availability of Content may change from time to time (for various reasons, such as when relevant rights-holders withdraw or restrict our right to use that Content on the GIAFIT Service). We therefore have the right to add or withdraw Content at any time, with or without notice. You acknowledge and agree that Content are variable and will change from time to time without notice.

7.2 There may also be times when we have to remove certain features or functionality and/or stop allowing certain devices or platforms from being able to access the GIAFIT Service.

7.3 If changes to any element of the GIAFIT Service are likely to negatively impact your access or use of the GIAFIT Service in more than a minor way, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice and the right to cancel. If you do not cancel your Subscription after we have notified you about any changes and before these changes take place, and you continue to use the GIAFIT Service, unless prohibited by law, you agree that this constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If this type of change is going to come into effect during your subscription period, you will still be able to cancel your Subscription before the change comes into effect. If you choose to cancel your Subscription in these circumstances, we will, if required by applicable law, provide you with a refund for amounts you have paid for the GIAFIT Service but not received.

  1. Changes to this Agreement

8.1 We may change the terms of this Agreement from time to time. The circumstances in which we may change the terms of this Agreement may include (without limitation), to comply with applicable laws, to provide you with additional information about the GIAFIT Service, where we need to make changes to the GIAFIT Service in order to improve it, or for safety or security reasons.

8.2 We will notify you at least 30 days before making any material changes to the terms of this Agreement, unless the changes need to be implemented quickly for security, legal or regulatory reasons, in which case we will notify you of the changes as soon as we can. If any change to the terms of this Agreement will materially disadvantage you, or materially affect the availability of the GIAFIT Service, we will provide you with 30 days’ notice before the changes become effective and you can choose to cancel your Subscription before the changes become effective.

8.3 Where possible, we will ensure that any changes to the terms of this Agreement, which materially disadvantage you, will not come into effect until the start of your next subscription period. If a materially adverse change is going to come into effect during your current subscription period, you can cancel your Subscription before the change comes into effect and we will, to the extent required by applicable law, provide you with a refund for amounts you have paid for the GIAFIT Service but not received.

8.4 If you continue to use the GIAFIT Service following any change to the terms of this Agreement, you agree that this constitutes your acceptance of the amended terms of this Agreement. The most up to date terms of this Agreement will always be available on the GIAFIT Service from the effective date of those updated terms of this Agreement.

  1. Differing Subscriptions and Activation Codes

9.1 We may offer a number of subscription plans, including subscriptions with differing subscription periods, conditions and limitations. Any specific terms relating to a particular subscription plan will be notified to you via the GIAFIT Service before you sign up for a Subscription. These specific terms will take precedence over the terms set out in this Agreement, to the extent that a conflict arises.

9.2 We and our Group Companies may make available promotional subscriptions and offers (“Promotional Offers“). Please check the relevant terms and conditions, which apply to any Promotional Offer for full details. Promotional Offers may also be offered by third parties (for example, certain fitness facilities), including in conjunction with their own products and services. We are not responsible for the products and services provided by these third parties.

9.3 From time to time, activation codes that grant you access to use the GIAFIT Service may be available from us, our Group Companies and/or third party partners, including those provided as part of a third party Promotional Offer. Activation codes may be redeemed and will grant you access to the GIAFIT Service, as further described in the specifics of the relevant Promotional Offer, or may allow you to enter an activation code during sign-up on the GIAFIT Service. Activation codes can only be used once cannot be redeemed for cash and may not be combined with other offers, including a free period of access, unless otherwise determined by us in our sole discretion. If you received an activation code through a Promotional Offer from a third party, additional conditions may apply.

  • Free Period of Access

10.1 Your Subscription may start with a free period of access. The duration of any free period of access will be specified during your online sign-up. For combinations with Promotional Offers, restrictions may apply, which will be confirmed in the terms accompanying any applicable offers. Free periods of access are for new subscribers to the GIAFIT Service only (one per subscriber) and are subject to availability.

10.2 We will begin charging your Payment Method for subscription fees at the end of the free period of access of your Subscription, unless you cancel prior to the end of the free period of access. You can cancel your subscription during the free period of access by signing into your GIAFIT Account on our website, select ” Account”, “My Subscriptions”, scroll down to “Subscription Details”, and click “Cancel Subscription”.

10.3 If you are a resident of Quebec, your Subscription will not start with a free period of access, which converts into a paid subscription. However, new subscribers resident in Quebec who sign up for a Subscription may get the initial portion of their first subscription period at no charge or at a reduced charge. The specific duration of any applicable portion will be specified at the point of sign-up. Further details on subscriptions for residents of Quebec can be found on our website.

  • Subscription Fees

11.1 By purchasing a Subscription and providing or designating a Payment Method, you authorise us to charge you the relevant fee at the then current rate (“Subscription Fee“) to your Payment Method. As used in these Terms of Use, “charge”, “charging” etc., shall indicate either a charge, debit or other payment clearance, as applicable, against your Payment Method.

11.2 The Subscription Fee will be charged at the start of the paying portion of your Subscription, following any free period of access, and at the start of each subscription period thereafter, unless and until your subscription is cancelled. For example, if you subscribe with an initial 10 day free period of access on 16 April, the paying portion of your subscription will begin on 26 April following your free period of access and you will be charged on 26 April for the applicable Subscription Fee.

11.3 You must cancel your subscription before the end of your current subscription period in order to avoid being charged for the next period’s Subscription Fee to your Payment Method. For example, if you wish to cancel your subscription with effect from 1 May, you will need to provide notice no later than midnight on 30 April.

11.4 Unless required by law, and except where you cancel your service within the statutory cancellation period (as provided for in Clause 14.1), there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. However, following any cancellation, you will continue to have access to the GIAFIT Service through to the end of your current billing or subscription period.

11.5 All charges shall be in the currency specified at the time you signed up for your Subscription.

11.6 If a payment is not successfully settled and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your GIAFIT Account, we may retry the payment method and/or suspend your access to the GIAFIT Service until we have obtained a valid payment method. When you update your Payment Method in your GIAFIT Account, you authorise us to charge the updated Payment Method for any uncollected amounts and your on-going Subscription Fee. This may result in a change to your payment dates or subscription period.

11.7 For certain Payment Methods, the issuer of your Payment Method may charge you a foreign transaction fee or other charges. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.

11.8 If you access the GIAFIT Service or purchase a Subscription through a third party (for example, an app-store or via one of our partners):

(a) in the event that you encounter any problems with billing or payments, please contact that third party relating to your Subscription in accordance with that third party’s terms; and

(b) your payment will be to that third party and you will be subject to that third party’s terms (including any applicable usage rules). Important information on the applicable terms of sale, charges, taxes, payment methods, your right to cancel a transaction and when you can exercise this right (where applicable), and the technical steps to conclude a transaction, will be detailed in the third party’s terms and conditions. You must comply with those terms and conditions and also with this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and those terms and conditions, the third party terms and conditions shall take precedence over this Agreement.

11.9 If you are paying for your Subscription via a third party and you wish to change your Payment Method, you will need to do so through that third party.

  • Price changes

12.1 We may change the price of your Subscription from time to time. Any price changes will apply to you no earlier than 30 days following notice to you. We will let you know the date on which any price change is due to come into effect. If you have purchased a Subscription via a third party, price changes will be subject to that third party’s terms and conditions.

12.2 If we notify you of a price change and you do not want to continue your Subscription at the new price, you can cancel your Subscription before the start of the next subscription period by following the steps in clause 13 (Cancellation and Termination) below. If you continue to use the GIAFIT Service after the start of your next subscription period, you consent to the price change, and you do not need to take any further steps.

12.3 We will ensure that the price of your Subscription will not change until the start of your next subscription period. If a price change is going to come into effect during your current subscription period, you can cancel your Subscription before the price change comes into effect and we will provide you with a refund for amounts you have paid for the GIAFIT Service but not received.

  • Cancellation

13.1 You may cancel your Subscription at any time, and you will continue to have access to the GIAFIT Service through to the end of your current subscription period.

13.2 To cancel your Subscription, sign into your GIAFIT Account on our website, select “My Account”, “My Subscriptions”, scroll down to “Subscription Details” and then select “Cancel Subscription”. You may not be able to cancel your Subscription through your online account if you access your GIAFIT Account from outside the country in which you created your GIAFIT Account. In this case, you must email us at [email protected] to cancel your Subscription.

13.3 If you cancel your Subscription, your GIAFIT Account will automatically close at the end of your current subscription period.

13.4 If you signed up for the GIAFIT Service with a third party (for example, through a membership to a fitness facility), and wish to cancel your Subscription, including during your free period of access, you need to do so through the applicable third party. You may also need to ask the applicable third party for your billing information in respect of your Subscription. That third party may also be able to cancel your GIAFIT Account without your consent, subject to the applicable third party terms. When we receive a cancellation request from a third party, you agree that we may contact you to see if you would like to sign up to the GIAFIT Service directly (where we have your prior consent to do so).

13.5 To the extent permitted by applicable law, when you purchase a Subscription from us you agree:

(a) we will provide you with access to the GIAFIT Service immediately; and

(b) where we get your consent when you sign up, you waive any statutory right you may have to:

(i) change your mind about your Subscription; and

(ii) receive a refund within any applicable cooling off period.

  • Right of Withdrawal

14.1 If you are a resident in the UK or a country in the EEA, you have a legal right to cancel your Subscription with us within 14 days of purchase. Instructions on how to exercise this right, the consequences of exercising this right and a model form that you can use are set out at the end of these Terms of Use in Appendix 1.

14.2 However, if you are a resident in the UK, when you purchase a Subscription from us and you request immediate access to your Subscription Content, you will also be asked to acknowledge that you understand this means you will lose your statutory right to withdraw from this the Subscription agreement and receive a refund within the 14 day withdrawal period.

  • Ending your right to use the Service

15.1 We may end your right to use all or any part of the GIAFIT Service or your Subscription immediately if we have a reasonable belief that you have breached this Agreement or if you are using the GIAFIT Service, the Content or your Subscription in any manner other than for its intended purpose, fraudulently or illegally. If what you have done can be put right we may give you a reasonable opportunity to do so.

15.2 If we decide to discontinue any part of the GIAFIT Service, we will give you at least 30 days’ prior notice (unless we need to discontinue the GIAFIT Service (or any part of it) more quickly for legal reasons, including in order to comply with a court order). If we discontinue a part of the GIAFIT Service you have subscribed to, we will, to the extent required by applicable law, provide you with a refund for any amounts you have paid us for the GIAFIT Service but not yet received.

15.3 If we end your rights to use the GIAFIT Service or your Subscription you must stop all activities authorised by this Agreement, including your use of the GIAFIT Service or your Subscription.

15.4 Your access to the GIAFIT Service may be conditional upon you having a valid membership to a participating fitness facility.

  • Terms Applicable to Users within the United States: Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

27.1 YOU AND GIAFIT ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT) OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT. ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND US ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR PURCHASE OF A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE GIAFIT SERVICE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION (OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT).

27.2 Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure. We are available at [email protected] to address any concerns you may have regarding these Terms of Use or your use of the GIAFIT Service. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. You and we agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating an arbitration or small claims court suit. If you or GiaFit intends to seek arbitration or file a small claims court suit, the party seeking arbitration or small claims court must first notify the other party of the dispute in writing at least 45 days in advance of initiating the arbitration or small claims court suit (the “Notice Period”). Notice to GiaFit should be sent to:

GiaFit

(with a copy sent to [email protected]).

The notice must include enough information to allow the receiving party to assess and attempt to resolve the dispute, including but not limited to, (i) the name, address, telephone number, and email address of the party seeking arbitration or small claims court, (ii) the product or service at issue, (iii) a description of the claim, (iv) the facts supporting the claim, (v) the damages claimed to have been suffered, and (vi) the relief being sought (the “Dispute Notice”). The Notice Period is designed to allow you or GiaFit to make a fair, fact-based offer of settlement if either chooses to do so. Engaging in this informal dispute resolution process is a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration or a small claims court suit. The statute of limitations shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this clause 27.2.

27.3 Agreement to Binding Arbitration, Except for Small Claims Court. If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of forty-five (45) days from the time a Dispute Notice is sent pursuant to clause 27.2 above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration (or bring an action in small claims court pursuant to clause 27.4 below). All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (including their formation, performance and breach), the GIAFIT Service and/or the parties’ relationship with each other shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the AAA, in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Consumer Rules”), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. The parties shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Consumer Rules. Except as stated to the contrary in clause 27.4 or 27.6 below, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or scope of these Terms of Use, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use is void or voidable. You or we may elect to appear at the arbitration by phone or, if you and we both agree, to conduct it online, in lieu of appearing live. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms of Use shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.

The AAA Consumer Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. In an arbitration, you shall be required to pay no more than half of the total administrative, facility and arbitrator fees (collectively, “AAA-related fees”), or $200.00 of such fees, whichever is less, and GiaFit shall pay the remainder of such fees. If the law allows for an award of attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, or costs incurred by you should you prevail in arbitration, an arbitrator may award them too. You will not be required to pay any fees or costs incurred by us if you do not prevail in arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that the claim was brought in bad faith, in which case the arbitrator may award GiaFit its attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, AAA-related fees and/or costs.

Each side may, but is not obligated to, make a written settlement offer, inclusive of damages and attorney’s fees itemized separately, at any time prior to 30 days before an arbitration hearing. The amount or terms of any settlement offer may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator issues an interim award on the claim. If the party receiving the offer doesn’t accept it, and the arbitrator awards the receiving party an amount of damages that is less than or substantially the same as the amount of damages offered, then the arbitrator shall limit any recoverable attorney’s fees to the amount incurred at the time of the offer, so long as the attorney’s fees tendered in the offer are substantially the same as the fees incurred as of the offer date.

The parties understand that, absent these mandatory provisions, they would have the right to sue in court (other than small claims court) and have a jury trial. They further understand that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration or small claims court; and review of an arbitration award (or small claims court judgment) also may be limited.

27.4 Small Claims Court Remains Available. Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, for disputes within the jurisdictional limit of the small claims court in the county encompassing the dispute, either you or GiaFit can choose to bring an individual action in small claims court instead of proceeding in arbitration; furthermore, if the claims in any request or demand for arbitration could have been brought in small claims court, then either you or GiaFit may choose to have the claims heard in small claims court, rather than in arbitration, at any time before the arbitrator is appointed, by notifying the other party and AAA of that choice in writing. You and we agree that, after receiving notice from you or us that the claims shall be decided by a small claims court rather than in arbitration, AAA shall administratively close the case. Any disagreements regarding the jurisdiction of the small claims court or the interpretation or application of the provisions of this clause 27.4 specifically shall be decided by a court rather than an arbitrator; pending resolution of any such disagreements by a court, you and GiaFit agree that the arbitration shall be stayed. If the provisions in this clause 27.4 are found to be invalid for some reason, then the provisions shall be severable; in no event will the provisions allow for an action or arbitration to be brought on a class or collective basis.

27.5 Exception – California Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) Action. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration or small claims court, either party may seek relief in a court of law (other than small claims court) for a claim arising under California’s Private Attorneys General Act.

27.6 Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. You and GiaFit acknowledge and agree that you and GiaFit are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and GiaFit otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding. If there is a final determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action or requested remedy will be severed and may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, but the waiver contained in this paragraph shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other claims, causes of action or requested remedies to the fullest extent possible. In the event that a claim, cause of action or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this clause 27.6, then you and GiaFit agree that the claims, causes of action or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator. If a court or arbitrator decides that any part of clause 27 of the Terms of Use cannot be enforced as to a particular request for public injunctive relief, then that request for public injunctive relief (and only that request for public injunctive relief) must be brought in court and must be stayed pending arbitration of the arbitrable remedies. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms of Use to the contrary, all disputes related to the enforceability and applicability of this Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver and the provisions of this clause 27.6 specifically shall be resolved by a court and not an arbitrator.

27.7 Exception – Mass Arbitration. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms of Use to the contrary, if GiaFit receives 30 or more Dispute Notices related to the same or similar subject matter and sharing common issues of law or fact, and counsel for the individuals submitting the Dispute Notices are the same or coordinated, then if the disputes proceed in arbitration, they shall proceed in a coordinated manner, as follows: (a) counsel for the claimants and counsel for GiaFit shall each select five (5) cases to proceed in arbitration on an individual basis in a series of “bellwether” proceedings; (b) the remaining cases shall be stayed and/or held in abeyance until the first ten (10) have been fully and finally resolved; (c) if the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial ten (10) “bellwether” proceedings, then each side may select another five (5) cases (or such fewer number as remain unresolved) to proceed in arbitration on an individual basis, with the remaining cases, if any, stayed and/or held in abeyance; and (d) this process shall continue until the parties are able to resolve all of the claims. If the provisions of this clause 27.7 are found to be invalid for some reason, then the provisions shall be severable; in no event will the provisions allow for an action or arbitration to be brought on a class or collective basis.

27.8 30 Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following email: [email protected]. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of subscribing to the GIAFIT Service, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of this clause 27. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.

27.9 Exclusive Venue for Litigation. In the event that the arbitration provisions set forth in clause 27 are determined not to apply, or if you have opted out of arbitration, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). The parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in Cook County, Illinois for any litigation other than small claims court actions. In the event of litigation relating to these Terms of Use, the parties agree to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a jury trial, except where a jury trial waiver is not permissible under applicable law.
