SPAX Terms of Service

Latest Updated: December 21, 2020
PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. Rhythm Wave Technology Limited (together with our affiliates, “SPAX”, “we”, or “us”) provides an online fitness community and related products, services, content and features through SPAX app (the “SPAX App”). To make these Terms easier to read, the SPAX App, along with the SPAX tablet and studio interfaces and SPAX-controlled social media pages (if any) are collectively called the “SPAX Service” or “the Services”. By registering as a member or by visiting, browsing, or using the SPAX Service in any way, you (as a “user”) accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”), which forms a binding agreement between you and SPAX.

PLEASE READ: THESE TERMS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER (SECTION 19). READ CAREFULLY, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT, IF APPLICABLE, TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION. EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED IN SECTION 19 BELOW, OR WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND SPAX WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.

If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms, you may not access or use the SPAX Service. Certain elements of the SPAX Service may be subject to additional terms and conditions specified from time to time; your use of those elements of the SPAX Service is subject to those additional terms and conditions, which are incorporated into these Terms by this reference.

Who May Use the SPAX Service

Age Requirement. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction of residence, to purchase a SPAX membership subscription and become a Membership Holder (as defined in the Membership Terms). Individuals 14 years of age and older who meet bike user criteria may participate in SPAX bike classes, and individuals 16 years of age and older who meet tread user criteria may participate in SPAX tread classes, provided that such individuals:

Have been cleared to participate by a family physician;
Have permission to participate from a parent or legal guardian who will provide supervision;
Abide by all safety precautions and instructions in the applicable user manual; and
Rest, hydrate and modify as needed.

We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to offer the SPAX Service to any person or entity and change the eligibility criteria at any time. You are solely responsible for ensuring that these Terms are in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to you, and the right to access and use the SPAX Service is revoked where these Terms or use of the SPAX Service is prohibited or conflicts with any applicable law, rule or regulation. Further, the SPAX Service is offered only for your personal, non-commercial use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party.

License to Use the SPAX Service

License. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and solely for so long as you are permitted by us to access and use the SPAX Service, SPAX grants you a limited, non-transferable, non- exclusive, revocable right and license to access and use the SPAX Service for your own personal, non-commercial purposes, a right which may not be assigned or sublicensed to anyone. This license includes the right to view Content (defined below) available on the SPAX Service and the right to download one copy of the application to any single device for your personal, non- commercial home use only, provided you keep intact all copyright and other proprietary notices. This license grant is subject to you agreeing to and abiding by the [SPAX Intellectual Property and DMCA Policy], which forms a part of these Terms. This license will remain in effect unless and until you violate these Terms or this license is terminated by you or SPAX.

Restrictions. Except as expressly permitted in writing by an authorized representative of SPAX, you will not reproduce, redistribute, sell, transfer, create derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, or disassemble the SPAX Service, nor will you take any measures to interfere with or damage the SPAX Service. Unless otherwise specified, copying or modifying any Content or using Content for any purpose other than your personal, non-commercial use of the SPAX Service, including use of any such Content on any other website, app or networked computer environment, is strictly prohibited. All rights not expressly granted by SPAX in these Terms are reserved.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy forms a part of these Terms. Please review the Privacy Policy to learn about:

What information we may collect about you; What we use that information for; and
With whom we share that information.

Membership Requirements Registration

To enjoy full access to the SPAX Service, you must register as a member of the SPAX Service and enter into a subscription agreement for access to our live and on-demand classes, Content and features (a “Subscription”). Your Subscription is also governed by the Membership Terms. You must provide complete and accurate registration information to SPAX, complete the Subscription process, and notify us if any of your information changes. If you fail to keep your account information up to date, we may have to suspend or terminate your Subscription.

Some other special Classes and Membership. Participation in our special classes which could be open to you later is subject to additional fees that are separate from the Subscription fees for SPAX’s online Content. You must have an account registered on SPAX App in order to sign up for such special classes and/or purchase special memberships, but you are not required to have a Subscription. Additional information about our special class packs and memberships is available on SPAX App later.

Profile Information and Picture. You may not use someone else’s name, or any name, location, other public profile information or image that violates any third party rights, is against the law, or that is offensive, obscene or otherwise objectionable (in SPAX’s sole discretion).

Account Security. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, including any activity by unauthorized users. You may not allow others to use your account. You must safeguard the confidentiality of your password, and if you are using a device that others have access to, log out of your account after using the SPAX Service. If you become aware of an unauthorized access to your account, change your password and notify our Support team immediately.

Membership Structure and Fees

SPAX will provide information on its membership and Subscription requirements on the SPAX App and/or by other means through the SPAX Service. Features and prices are subject to change.

Termination; Account Deletion

Term. These Terms begin on the date you first use the SPAX Service and continue as long as you have an account with us and/or continue to use the SPAX Service.

Termination. SPAX may, in SPAX’s sole discretion, suspend, disable, or delete your account (or any part thereof) or block or remove any User Content (defined below) that you submitted, for any lawful reason, including if SPAX determines that you have violated these Terms or that your conduct or User Content would tend to damage SPAX’s reputation or goodwill. If SPAX deletes your account, you may not re-register for or use the SPAX Service under any other user name or profile. SPAX may block your access to the SPAX Service to prevent re-registration.

Effect of Termination / Account Deletion. Upon termination of these Terms all licenses granted by SPAX will terminate. The following sections survive termination: Privacy (Section 3), User Content (Section 8), Indemnification (Section 12), No Warranties (Section 15), Limitation of Liability (Section 16), Safety Warnings (Section 17), Intellectual Property (Section 18), Arbitration Requirement & Class Action Waiver (Section 19), Governing Law and Jurisdiction (Section 20), and all general provisions. In the event of account deletion for any reason, User Content may no longer be available and SPAX is not responsible for the deletion or loss of such User Content. For clarity, if you cancel your Subscription or it is terminated for any reason, you will lose access to all live and on-demand classes and any other Content or features provided through the SPAX Service. SPAX, in its sole discretion, may make available a very limited amount of Content or features to non-subscribers from time to time, and any use of that Content is governed by these Terms.

User Content

“Content” means text, graphics, images, music, software, audio, video, works of authorship of any kind, and information or other materials (if any) that are posted, generated, provided or otherwise made available through the SPAX Service; and (ii) “User Content” means any content that users (including you) provide to be made available through the SPAX Service. Content includes, without limitation, User Content.

Any User Content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person who originated such User Content. You represent that all User Content submitted by or on behalf of you is accurate, complete, up-to-date, and in compliance with these Terms and with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. You acknowledge that all Content, including User Content, accessed by you using the SPAX Service is at your own risk and you will be solely responsible for any damage or loss to you or any other party resulting therefrom. To the full extent permitted by law, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees with respect to any Content that you access on or through the SPAX Service.

As between you and SPAX, you represent that you own (or have all rights necessary to grant SPAX the rights below to) all User Content that you submit to the SPAX Service, and that SPAX will not need to obtain licenses from any third party or pay royalties to any third party in order to use such User Content. You grant SPAX a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non- exclusive, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), transferable royalty-free license and right to use, copy, transmit, distribute, publicly perform and display (through all media now known or later created), edit, modify, and make derivative works from your User Content (including, without limitation, translations) for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to you. In addition, you waive any so-called “moral rights” or rights of privacy or publicity in your User Content. You further grant all users of the SPAX Service permission to view your User Content for their personal, non-commercial purposes. If you make suggestions to SPAX or through the SPAX Service about improving or adding new features or products to the SPAX Service or you otherwise provide feedback, product or service reviews or testimonials, you hereby grant to SPAX a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), transferable royalty-free license and right to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon and otherwise exploit your suggestions, feedback, reviews and testimonials for any purpose (including for marketing), without any notice, compensation or other obligation to you.

You can remove your User Content by specifically deleting it. However, in certain instances, some of your User Content (such as posts or comments you make) may not be completely removed and copies of your User Content may continue to exist on the SPAX Service. We are not responsible or liable for the removal or deletion of (or the failure to remove or delete) any of your User Content.

Rights and Terms for Apps

Rights in App Granted. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, SPAX grants to you a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license, with no right to sublicense, to download and install a copy of the App on a mobile device or computer that you own or control and to run such copy of the App solely for your own personal non-commercial purposes. You may not copy the App, except for making a reasonable number of copies for backup or archival purposes. Except as expressly permitted in these Terms, you may not:

i. copy, modify or create derivative works based on the App;
ii. distribute, transfer, sublicense, lease, lend or rent the App to any third party;
iii. reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App; or
iv. make the functionality of the App available to multiple users through any means.

SPAX reserves all rights in and to the App not expressly granted to you under these Terms.

Accessing App from an App Store. The following terms apply to any App accessed through or downloaded from any app store or distribution platform (like the Apple App Store or Google Play) where the App may now or in the future be made available (each an “App Provider”). You acknowledge and agree that:

These Terms are between you and SPAX, and not with the App Provider, and SPAX (not the App Provider), is solely responsible for the App.
The App Provider has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify the App Provider, and the App Provider will refund the purchase price for the App to you (if applicable) and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App Provider will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of SPAX.
The App Provider is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of the App, including, but not limited to:
i. product liability claims;
ii. any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and
iii. claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

In the event of any third party claim that the App or your possession and use of that App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, SPAX will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms.
The App Provider and its affiliates are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license to the App, and that, upon your acceptance of the Terms, the App Provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
You represent and warrant that
i. you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a terrorist-supporting country;
ii. you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties;
iii. you are not an individual, or associated with an entity, designated under the UK’s Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Act 2010 (TAFA 2010); and
iv. you are not otherwise subject to or affected in any way by any national security or terrorism related rules whether applicable to you personally or to your location or other circumstances.

You must also comply with all applicable third party terms of service when using the App.

TO THE EXTENT ANY DISCLAIMER OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY DOES NOT APPLY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL APPLICABLE EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES WILL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO A PERIOD OF 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH YOU FIRST USED THE SPAX SERVICE, AND NO WARRANTIES SHALL APPLY AFTER SUCH PERIOD.

Limitation of Liability

PAX shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, economic or pure economic losses, goodwill, use, data, service interruption, computer damage, system failure, inability to use the SPAX Service or Content or other intangible losses, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed its essential purpose; and
ii. SPAX’s total liability to you for all claims, in the aggregate, will not exceed the amount actually paid by you to SPAX over the 12 months preceding the date your first claim(s) arose.

If you live in a jurisdiction that does not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation does not apply to you.

ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT & CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. APPLICABLE TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding.
Initial Dispute Resolution and Notification. You agree that before initiating any Dispute or arbitration proceeding, we will attempt to negotiate an informal resolution of any dispute. To begin this process, before initiating any arbitration proceeding, you must send a Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) by certified email to the attention of SPAX’s Legal Department at the email address set out in Section 22 below. In the Notice, you must describe the nature and basis of the Dispute and the relief you are seeking. If we are unable to resolve the Dispute within 45 days after SPAX’s receipt of the Notice, then you or SPAX may initiate arbitration proceedings as set out below.
Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. Any arbitration will be conducted by China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (“CIETAC”) pursuant to its valid Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “CIETAC Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The CIETAC Rules are available at http://www.cietac.org.cn/. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to CIETAC and give notice to the other party as specified in the CIETAC Rules.

Any arbitration hearings will take place in Beijing, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement. During the arbitration, both you and SPAX may take one deposition of the opposing party.
Class Action Waiver. YOU AND SPAX AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, neither CIETAC nor the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding for any purpose. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 20 shall be null and void.
Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 25 “Modification”, if SPAX changes any of the terms of this Section 20 after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or the date of SPAX’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and SPAX in accordance with the terms of this Section 20 as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 18(5) above, if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All the Terms herein shall be governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China (for the purpose of this Terms, not including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

Interpretation; Severability; Waiver; Remedies

Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to construe these Terms. If any term of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, that term will be severed from these Terms. No failure or delay by SPAX in exercising any right hereunder will waive any further exercise of that right. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of SPAX. SPAX’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive.

Successors; Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries

These Terms are binding upon and will inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, and permitted assigns. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without SPAX’s prior written consent. SPAX may assign its rights, obligations and/or these Terms at any time in its sole discretion without notice to you.

Notices

You consent to receive all communications including notices, agreements, disclosures, or other information from SPAX electronically. SPAX may communicate by email. For support-related inquiries, you may email Support at [support@onespax.com ]. [to be inserted]

Modification

We may update these Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know by, at a minimum, posting the updated Terms (as indicated by a revised “Last Updated” date at the top of this page) on the SPAX App and/or through the SPAX Service. Modifications will be effective on the date that they are posted to the SPAX App. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them before you use the SPAX Service. If you continue to use the SPAX Service after we have posted updated Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by the updated Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the updated Terms, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 19(6) “Effect of Changes on Arbitration,” you may not use the SPAX Service anymore. Because the SPAX Service is evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the SPAX Service, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

Entire Agreement

These Terms incorporate the following legal documents by reference, as well as any other policies or procedures referenced herein that are posted to the SPAX App from time to time:
