For example, gym memberships are subject to, among other things, the terms and conditions of our Membership Policies and Club Membership Agreement. For clarity, in the event of any dispute arising out of or related to any Other Service, the terms and conditions of the applicable Other Terms will govern with respect to such dispute.

Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we make available the updated Terms of Use incorporating such changes, or otherwise notify you of such changes. Your continued use of the Online Services following any changes to these Terms of Use indicates your agreement to the updated Terms of Use. Accordingly, we urge you to review any updated Terms of Use, and if you do not agree to such updated Terms of Use, do not access or use the Online Services.

24GO Subscription Services

24 Hour Fitness provides two types of subscription services via the 24GO app: (1) the 24GO basic service ("24GO Basic"), which is free of charge, and (2) the 24GO Paid subscriptions ("24GO Paid"), which are fee-based services. For either 24GO Basic or 24GO Paid Subscription(s), you must create a 24GO account by downloading, and then registering with, the 24GO App.

24GO Paid Subscriptions: Promotional Trial

24 Hour Fitness may offer a free or reduced-price trial subscription of one or more of the 24GO Paid Subscriptions, for a specified trial period either without payment or with payment of a reduced fee ("Promotional Trial Period"). The fees for your Paid Subscription(s) will be charged via the applicable app store provided at confirmation of purchase (see also Billing and Fees below).

24GO Paid Subscription Terms:

The following terms are applicable only if you purchase the 24GO Paid Subscriptions. 24 Hour Fitness may, at its sole discretion, change the features and services offered with 24GO Paid Subscription(s) at any time.

Billing and Fees

By making an in-app purchase for any 24GO Paid Subscription (an "In-App Purchase") via the applicable app store provider (e.g., Apple App Store, Google Play, etc.) (an "App Store Provider"), and providing your credit card or other payment method information, you authorize the App Store Provider to charge your credit card or other payment method for the 24GO Paid Subscription(s) at the then-current rate and any additional charges (including late charges and applicable federal, state, or local taxes). Billing for In-App Purchases will be handled by the App Store Provider according to their terms.

BY REGISTERING FOR THE 24GO PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS, YOU AFFIRMATIVELY CONSENT TO HAVE YOUR CREDIT CARD OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD CHARGED ON A PERIODICALLY RECURRING BASIS (E.G. MONTHLY OR ANNUALLY), UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION BEFORE THE END OF YOUR CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD. YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION BY FOLLOWING YOUR APP STORE PROVIDER’S INSTRUCTIONS (see also Cancellation below).

Subscription Rate Changes

24 Hour Fitness may change the applicable subscription rate from time to time. If we do, you will be provided advance notice by your App Store Provider of any change in the subscription rate(s). If you do not agree with the new subscription rate, you may cancel your subscription prior to the new subscription rate taking effect. If you continue to use any 24GO Paid Subscription(s) after the subscription rate has gone into effect, you will be charged the new rate until you cancel or the rate changes.

Cancellation

You may cancel any 24GO Paid Subscription by following your App Store Provider’s instructions. In the event that you cancel your 24GO Paid Subscription before the end of your subscription period, 24 Hour Fitness will not return any portion of the subscription fee provided and you will be entitled to continue accessing the applicable 24GO Paid Subscription features until the end of your subscription period. 24 Hour Fitness reserves the right to terminate your access to the 24GO Paid Subscription(s), or any portion thereof at any time, without notice.

Copyright Infringement Claims

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials available through the Online Services infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send to 24 Hour Fitness a written notice by mail, e-mail or fax, requesting that 24 Hour Fitness remove such material or block access to it. If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly submitted to us a notice of copyright infringement involving content that you made available through the Online Services, the DMCA permits you to send to 24 Hour Fitness a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA (see www.copyright.gov for details), which, with respect to notices of alleged infringement, currently include, among other requirements, the following:

  • A description of the copyrighted work that you allege is being infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
  • A description of the allegedly infringing material and information sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number and, if available, an electronic mail address;
  • A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
  • A statement by you that the information in the notification is accurate and that you have the authority to enforce the copyrights that are claimed to be infringed.

Notices and counter-notices must be sent in writing to our DMCA agent as follows:
NAME: K. Griffin, 24 Hour Fitness DMCA Agent
ADDRESS: 12647 Alcosta Blvd, 5th Floor, San Ramon, CA 94583
EMAIL: dmca@24hourfit.com
FAX: 866.513.3358

You can also reach our DMCA agent at the following phone number: (925) 543-3100.

We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a DMCA notice or counter-notice. You may have equivalent rights under other applicable laws.

Arbitration of Disputes

EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ONLINE SERVICES (EACH, A “DISPUTE”), WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND YOU AGREE THAT, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE, (A) 24 HOUR FITNESS AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT ACTION AND A TRIAL BY A JURY; (B) ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; (C) CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED; AND (D) YOU ARE GIVING UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms of Use will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if applicable law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
