BridgeAthletic, its employees and its agents will not be liable for any physical or mental injury or illness that may result, whether directly or indirectly, from any of our recommended workout plans or exercises. While we may provide guidelines such as written descriptions, pictures, or videos describing how to perform specific exercises or activities, you assume sole responsibility for performance of those exercises or activities with proper form, as risk of injury or illness increases with improper form. We encourage you and your End User’s to seek multiple sources of information regarding how to perform each exercise correctly and to consider consulting with a qualified coach, instructor, personal trainer, or physical therapist, especially if you or your End Users are new to any of the forms of training or activity you seek to perform. We highly recommend you and your End Users seek guidance from a physical therapist or other qualified health care practitioner for preexisting injuries or conditions that may compromise the joints, muscles, or other tissues involved in your workouts, or that might otherwise interfere with recommended activities.
  • BridgeAthletic may, at any time and subject to refunds for payments received for Services not rendered, permanently or temporarily terminate, modify, suspend (including by limiting or discontinuing certain features of the Service), or otherwise refuse to permit your access to the Service without notice, including if in BridgeAthletic’s sole determination you violate any provision of this Agreement, or for no reason. Upon termination for any reason or no reason, you continue to be bound by this Agreement. We will attempt to limit the material impact for changes to the Service or any suspension or termination of your access to or use of the Service, such as by providing advance notice where reasonable.
  • All aspects of the Service are subject to change or elimination at BridgeAthletic’s sole discretion. BridgeAthletic reserves the right to interrupt the Service with or without prior notice for continued maintenance and other business reasons. Except as provided herein, you agree that BridgeAthletic will not be liable to you for any interruption of the Service, delay, or failure to perform.

8. Billing

Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, we will invoice you in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced charges are due net 30 days from the invoice date. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to us and notifying us of any changes to such information.

8.3. Fee changes

If BridgeAthletic changes the fees for the Service, including by adding additional fees or charges, BridgeAthletic will provide you reasonable advance notice of those changes. Changes in fees for the Service you previously purchased are effective following the term of your purchased Services. If you do not accept the changes, you may discontinue the Service, effective upon the end of the term of your Service.

8.4. Billing Cycle

Unless noted in your Order Form, the fee will be billed at Registration and at the beginning of each billing period thereafter unless and until you terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 16(c) below.

You agree to pay all invoiced fees within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.

8.5. Overdue Charges

All undisputed late payments shall (a) bear interest at the lesser of the rate of 1.0% per month or the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly and (b) BridgeAthletic may condition future renewals on payment terms shorter than those specified in this Agreement.

8.6. Suspension of Service and Acceleration

If any undisputed amount owed by you under this Agreement is thirty (30) or more days overdue (or ten (10) or more days overdue in the case of amounts you have authorized BridgeAthletic to charge to your credit card), BridgeAthletic may, without limiting your other rights and remedies, accelerate your unpaid fee obligations so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Services to you until such amounts are paid in full. BridgeAthletic will give you at least ten (10) days prior notice that account is overdue, before suspending the Service to you.

8.7. Taxes

BridgeAthletic’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). You are responsible for paying all taxes associated with the Service hereunder. If BridgeAthletic has a legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which you are responsible then, following any such payment, BridgeAthletic will invoice you and you will pay that amount unless you provide a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, BridgeAthletic is solely responsible for taxes assessable against BridgeAthletic based on its income, property and employees.

16. Term and Termination

16.1. Commencement and Renewal

Agreement commences on the date you first accept it and continues until all Services ordered have expired or have been terminated (the “term”).

16.2. Term of Purchased Subscriptions

Term of Subscriptions. The term of each subscription shall be as specified in the applicable Order Form. Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring subscription term or one year (whichever is shorter), unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the relevant subscription term. The per unit pricing during any renewal term will increase by up to 7% above the applicable pricing in the prior term, unless we provide you notice of different pricing at least 60 days prior to the applicable renewal term. Except as expressly provided in the applicable Order Form, renewal of promotional or one-time priced subscriptions will be at our applicable list price in effect at the time of the applicable renewal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any renewal in which subscription volume for any Services has decreased from the prior term will result in re-pricing at renewal without regard to the prior term’s per-unit pricing.

16.3. Termination

Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party. BridgeAthletic may terminate this Agreement immediately upon your breach of any terms or conditions of this Agreement.

If the Service is terminated by BridgeAthletic without cause, BridgeAthletic will provide you with a pro-rated refund of any prepaid fees covering the period from the date of termination through the end of the term in accordance with your Order Form. In no event will termination relieve your obligation to pay any fees payable to BridgeAthletic for the period prior to the effective date of termination.

16.5. Customer Data

Upon request by you made within 30 days after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, we will make Customer Data available to you for export or download as provided in the online support and feature documentation for the Services.

18. General

18.1. Governing Law

You agree that:

  • the Service shall be deemed to be solely based in California; and
  • the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over BridgeAthletic, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California.

This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any claim or dispute between you and BridgeAthletic that arises in whole or in part from the Service shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in San Francisco County, California, unless submitted to arbitration as set forth in Section 19 below.

18.2. Notification Procedures

BridgeAthletic may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on the Website, as reasonably determined by BridgeAthletic in our sole discretion under the circumstances. BridgeAthletic reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to you, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this Agreement. BridgeAthletic is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address you provide us. We recommend that you add info@bridgeathletic.com to your email address book to help ensure you receive email notifications from us.

18.3. Entire Agreement/Severability

This Agreement, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with BridgeAthletic in connection with the Service, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and BridgeAthletic concerning the Service. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

18.4. No Waiver

No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and BridgeAthletic’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

18.5. Force Majeure

We will not be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under this Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform as a result of any cause or condition beyond our reasonable control, so long as we use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance.

18.6. Independent Contractors

19. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

19.1. General

In the interest of resolving disputes between you and BridgeAthletic in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as described in Section 19.b and 19.c, you and BridgeAthletic agree that any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement, the Service, and communications from us will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement, the Service, or any communications to or from us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND BRIDGEATHLETIC ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

19.2. Exceptions

Notwithstanding Section 19.a above, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude or otherwise limit the right of either party to:

  • bring an individual action in small claims court;
  • pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state or local agency if that action is available;
  • seek injunctive relief in aid of arbitration from a court of law of competent jurisdiction; or
  • to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

19.3. Opt-Out

If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 19 within 30 days after the date that you agree to this Agreement by sending a letter to BridgeAthletic, Inc., Attention: Compliance Department, P.O. Box 610123, Redwood City, CA 94061 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once BridgeAthletic receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 19 will be void and any action arising out of this Agreement will be resolved as set forth in Section 18. The remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.

19.4. Arbitrator

ny arbitration between you and BridgeAthletic will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting BridgeAthletic. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.

19.5. Notice; Process

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice ”). BridgeAthletic’s address for Notice is: 290 Division Street, Suite 410, San Francisco, CA, Attn: Chief Executive Officer. The Notice must:

  • describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and
  • set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”).

The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or BridgeAthletic may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or BridgeAthletic must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor with a monetary award that exceeds the last written settlement amount offered by BridgeAthletic prior to selection of an arbitrator, BridgeAthletic will pay you the highest of the following:

  • the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; and
  • $10,000.

19.6. Fees

If you commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement, BridgeAthletic will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000 or as set forth below, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in the county and state of your billing address, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted:

  • solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator;
  • through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or
  • by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address.

If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse BridgeAthletic for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. Each party agrees that such written decision, and information exchanged during arbitration, will be kept confidential except to the extent necessary to enforce or permit limited judicial review of the award. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and for the avoidance of doubt, the arbitrator can award injunctive relief as a remedy in any arbitration required under this Section 19.

19.7. No Class Actions

OU AND BRIDGEATHLETIC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and BridgeAthletic agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

19.8. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision

If BridgeAthletic makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to BridgeAthletic’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to BridgeAthletic’s address for Notice, in which case this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will continue to govern any disputes between you and BridgeAthletic.

19.9. Enforceability

If Section 19.g above is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 19 is found to be unenforceable, or if BridgeAthletic receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 19 will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 18 will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.

20. Public Announcements

BridgeAthletic may, with your consent, issue or release any announcement, statement, press release, or marketing materials relating to this Agreement, which may include the use of your trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, domain names, or other indicia of source; prepare and utilize testimonials made by you; and use your name or other indicia of source in our lists of our current, or as the case may be, former customers in promotional and marketing materials.

21. Manner of Giving Notice

Except as provided under Section 18 (b), all notices to Customer or to BridgeAthletic shall be in writing and shall be made either via email or conventional mail. Notices to us must be sent to the attention of Customer Service at info@bridgeathletic.com, if by email, or at BridgeAthletic, Inc., 290 Division St., Suite 410, San Francisco, California 94103 USA, if by conventional mail. Notices to Customer may be sent to the email address supplied by Customer when registering or updating his or her Account. In addition, BridgeAthletic may broadcast notices or messages through the Service to inform you of changes to the Service or other matters of importance, and such broadcasts shall constitute notice to you.

  • five business days after the mailing date, if sent by US mail, return receipt requested;
