Various Goods and Services. The access to or use of certain areas and features of the Services are subject to separate policies, standards or guidelines, or may require that you accept additional terms and conditions, before you can access or use the relevant areas or features. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the terms or policies applicable to a specific area or feature of the Services, the latter terms or policies will take precedence unless stated otherwise. You will be subject to our Code of Conduct (https://race.spartan.com/en/about/code-of-conduct) in connection with the use of the Services, to other separate terms for Events (including but not limited to, Terms of Purchase, and the applicable Event waiver and release), and they are each incorporated herein.

Participation in our classes requires a monthly or annual subscription, and has fees that are separate from any other fees or payments under these Terms or related Services. When you subscribe the separate subscription agreement will apply to subscription for classes. In addition, the Services allow you to purchase Event tickets, shop for apparel and accessories, access, access a wide range of audio or video digital classes on your mobile device. Most of these ancillary goods and services have separate terms and conditions that you will need to review and accept by agreement.

At the time you purchase or subscribe for such other goods and services, we will provide information on the then-current fees, subscriptions or other charges. Features and prices are subject to change. The availability of products cannot be guaranteed and products, services, and other information are subject to corrections and changes without notice. Errors will be corrected where discovered, and we reserve the right to revoke any offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, including with regard to the characteristics of any product (i.e., color, size, descriptions, etc.).

Except as otherwise provided in the terms at the time of purchase, you must pay for products when you place the order. All products ordered will be delivered to the shipping address you provide. We reserve the right to cancel an order placed by you at any time and for any lawful reason prior to our delivery of the product(s) and receipt of payment in full from you, provided that we will refund any fees that you prepaid for those products if we cancel. We may send an acknowledgment of receipt of your order to the email address you provide and/or proof of purchase information through the Services.

You must provide a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) for all payments. By providing us with your credit card number and associated payment information, you agree that we are authorized to immediately invoice you for all fees and charges due and payable hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify us of any change in your billing address or the credit card or account used for payment hereunder. If we are unable to process any payments under these Terms (including due to an invalid credit card account or any rejected charges), we will have the right, without limiting our other rights and remedies, to cancel or suspend your access to the Services (including access to content) until such amounts are paid in full. We may notify you before canceling or suspending access to the Services but we have no obligation to do so.

We reserve the right to adjust subscription and credit pricing at any time. However, if you have a current paid subscription, your subscription price will remain the same until you terminate your subscription. Once you terminate your subscription, we do not guarantee you will receive your previous subscription cost or rate if you resubscribe.

There are no refunds of subscription fees for subscription cancellations, including if you terminate your access to the Services prior to the end of your subscription. To change, update, upgrade, or cancel your subscription to our App, you must edit your subscription settings in the “phone settings” on your device. You cannot update subscription settings directly within the Services. Subscription cancellations must be made any time before the next billing cycle to avoid automatic payment of the next billing cycle.

We currently use Stripe as our payment processor (“Stripe Processing Services”). Stripe Processing Services are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to these Terms, or by continuing to use the Services, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as may be modified from time to time by Stripe.

Spartan+ Membership: Spartan+ is a paid membership User Account (the “Spartan+ Membership”) that grants you access to world-class coaching, our best content, exclusive discounts, and digital events (“Spartan+ Benefits”). A Spartan+ Membership is an automatically renewing paid membership requiring recurring payments. Spartan+ Memberships can be purchased for either a one-year period (“Yearly Membership”), or on a month-to-month basis (“Monthly Membership”), or for a period of time as described below in connection with the Trifecta Pass or Season Pass purchase (“Pass Membership”) (the period of time during the Yearly Membership, the Monthly Membership, or the Pass Membership, the “Membership Period”). The terms and conditions for the User Account under Section 2 shall also apply to the Spartan+ Membership.

Additional Information. For detailed information about what is included in the Spartan+ Benefits, please click here. For other applicable information about Spartan+, please visit our FAQs.

Membership Fee and Payment. Spartan+ is offered for a fee (“Membership Fee”) payable at the start of the Membership Period. Depending on the conditions as stated when you register for Spartan+, including whether your select a Yearly Membership or a Monthly Membership, the initial Membership Fee you shall be charged in the amount as stated on the Spartan+ sign-up page. If you sign up for the Yearly Membership, you will be required to pay the Membership Fee at the time you sign-up, and, unless you cancel pursuant to these terms and conditions, the Membership Fee shall automatically be charged to you exactly one-year from the time you initially signed up. If you sign up for the Monthly Membership, you will be required to pay the first month’s Membership Fee at the time you sign-up, and then billed monthly thereafter on the same calendar day each month (e.g., February 1, March 1, April 1, etc.), or if calendar day you purchased does not recur each month, then on the last day of the month (i.e., March 31, April 30, May 31, etc.). We reserve the right to modify the Membership Fee at any time prior to your initial, or next recurring, payment of the Membership Fee. By signing up for Spartan+ and providing Spartan with your payment account information, you agree that: (a) you will be charged your first Spartan+ Membership Fee and any applicable taxes on the date you purchase your Spartan+ Membership; (b) you authorize Spartan and its service providers to store your payment method for the purpose of executing future Spartan+ auto-renewal transactions; (c) UNLESS YOU CANCEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE “CANCELLATION” SECTION BELOW, BY DEFAULT (AND WITH PRIOR NOTICE ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW), YOUR SPARTAN+ MEMBERSHIP WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT MEMBERSHIP PERIOD, AND (D) AT THE TIME OF RENEWAL, SPARTAN WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE THE THEN-CURRENT SPARTAN+ MEMBERSHIP FEE AND ANY APPLICABLE TAXES TO AN ELIGIBLE PAYMENT METHOD THAT WE HAVE ON FILE FOR YOU. If your payment details change, your card provider may provide us with updated card details. We may use these new details or details from other cards on file in order to help prevent any interruption to your Spartan+ Membership. If you need to change your billing address, name, or payment method first sign-in to your User Account. Then, go to your account settings and make the necessary changes and click save.

Third-Party Payment Processors. You agree to pay us, through our payment processors or financing partners (as applicable), all charges at the prices then in effect for any purchase in accordance with the applicable payment terms presented to you at the time of purchase. You agree to make payment using the payment method you provide when you set up your account. We reserve the right to correct, or to instruct our payment processors or financing partners to correct, any errors or mistakes, even if payment has already been requested or received.

Trifecta or Season Pass. If you purchase a Trifecta Pass or Season Pass (or similar), you will receive a fifty percent (50%) discount opportunity on the purchase of one-year Spartan+ Membership. The discount will be issued in the form of a promotional code that is valid for 50% of the Membership Fee (“Spartan+ Code”). The initial Membership Period will be valid for a one-year period that begins at the time you complete the purchase of the Spartan+ Membership using the supplied Spartan+ Code. Only Trifecta and Season Pass passholders will be permitted to use a Spartan+ Code, if you are not a Trifecta and Season Pass passholders do not purchase a Spartan+ Membership with a Spartan+ Code. Spartan+ Codes will only be valid for one Spartan+ Membership per person per email. Spartan reserves the right to cancel any Spartan+ Membership that is (but not limited to) purchased with a Spartan+ Code by an individual that is not a Trifecta and Season Pass passholder, without any liability to Spartan, and without any right by you to receive any refund or credit (in whole or part). The Membership Period in connection with a Pass Membership will automatically renew following the initial one-year Membership Period, at the then advertised annual Membership Fee. All other terms and conditions under this Section 3 shall apply.

Cancellation. You can cancel your Spartan+ Membership at any time during your Membership Period by logging into your User Account and selecting cancel under the settings (account.spartan.com/settings). You must cancel at least one (1) calendar day before the next-scheduled Membership Period renewal date to avoid being charged for the next Membership Period (e.g., if renewal date is February 1, you must cancel by 11:59:59 pm PT on January 31). If you cancel your Spartan+ Membership within ten (10) days for a Yearly Membership (or three (3) days of a Monthly Membership) from the beginning of your initial Membership Period, you will receive a full refund of the Membership Fee (less any credit card or other processing fees that may have been charged at the time of purchase). If you cancel your membership after the first ten (10) days of your Membership Period, the Membership Fee will not be refunded, however you will continue to receive all Spartan+ Benefits for the remainder of the Membership Period. These cancellation policies for Yearly or/and Monthly Membership are only valid when a free Spartan+ trial IS NOT offered.

Updates and Changes. The Spartan+ fees and benefits may change in the future. If Spartan changes the Membership Fee charged for a Spartan+ Membership, Spartan will notify you and provide you with the opportunity to change or cancel your membership before it is renewed for another Membership Period. Your continued use of (and failure to timely cancel) the Spartan+ Membership after such change becomes effective will constitute your acceptance of the increased Membership Fee. If you do not wish to continue subscribing to Spartan+ with the new fees, you may cancel your Spartan+ Membership in accordance with the “Cancellation” terms and conditions above. Any Spartan+ Membership will be subject to the terms and conditions in effect at the time you sign up or renew for a new Membership Period.

No Transfer or Assignments & Cancellations by Spartan. Your Spartan+ Membership cannot be transferred or assigned. Spartan reserves the right to accept, refuse, suspend, or cancel your Spartan+ Membership at any time in its sole discretion. If Spartan cancels your Spartan+ Membership, you will receive a refund of your Membership Fee on a pro rata basis calculated from the end of the month during which your membership was cancelled, unless Spartan terminates your User Account or your Spartan+ Membership because it determines, in its sole discretion, that your actions or your use of the Spartan+ Benefits, the Services violates these Terms.

Spartan Plus Ticket Protection Program. Where You are a Spartan Plus member at the time of purchase of any registration for an Event and remain a Spartan Plus member through the date of the Event purchased (or as of the date of cancelation or rescheduling) (“Qualified Member”), You will be automatically refunded the purchase price paid for that Event (inclusive of service fees and taxes paid) where that Event is cancelled by Spartan for any reason. Where Spartan reschedules an Event for a Qualified Member, Spartan will refund the purchase price of that rescheduled Event upon request by the Qualified Member made in writing no later than 60 days from the date that the Event was originally scheduled. Any claims for refunds by Qualified Members for rescheduled Events occurring after the 120-day window will not be refunded by Spartan and Spartan has no obligation to provide any substitute benefit or renumeration in that instance. Where a Qualified Member elects to receive a refund of fees paid for a rescheduled Event, Spartan will cancel all Event registrations related to that rescheduled Event held by the Qualified Member at the time the request for refund is made. Where a Qualified Member (or any Event participants with an Event registration purchased by the Qualified Member) attend or otherwise participate in the rescheduled Event, Spartan will have no obligation to refund any Event registration fees to the Qualified Member. All refunds will be paid to the Qualified Member purchasing the Event registration(s) including where such Qualified Member has purchased multiple Event registrations on behalf of him/herself and others. Only a Qualified Member that has directly purchased an Event registration for a rescheduled Event may request a refund of fees paid. All refunds under this section will be made in totality by Spartan and Spartan will not provide “partial” refunds or refunds of select Event registrations under this program. Where a Qualified Member purchases an Event registration eligible for a refund through a third-party Event registration provider (e.g. Groupon), Groupon will refund the fees paid by the Qualified Member in lieu of Spartan. SEASON PASS HOLDERS ONLY: Where a Qualified Member is a Season Pass holder and registers for an Event that is cancelled, Spartan will only refund the fees paid by the Season Pass holder for the cancelled Event and not for the underlying cost of the Season Pass.

Unbreakable Pass: The Unbreakable Pass (“Unbreakable Pass”) is an event pass and digital non-fungible token (“NFT”) that grants the holder of the Unbreakable Pass (“Passholder”) access to over 450 Spartan owned, operated and licensed Events worldwide in 45+ countries without the need to pay the standard Event Registration Fee applicable to each Event your register for, as well as access to and the ability to enjoy many other benefits and perks. The Unbreakable Pass will be subject to “Unbreakable Pass Terms and Conditions”. Prior to your purchase of an Unbreakable Pass, please refer to and review such terms and conditions made available at purchase, and as published on the Unbreakable Pass webpage.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT & CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. APPLICABLE TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Initial Dispute Resolution and Notification. You and we agree that, prior to initiating an arbitration or other legal proceeding, you and we will attempt to negotiate an informal resolution of the Dispute. To begin this process, and before initiating any arbitration or legal proceeding against us, you must send a Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) by certified mail to the attention of our Legal Department at the address set out in Section 21 of these Terms. For purposes of these Terms, initiating an arbitration means filing an arbitration demand (“Demand”).

Your Notice to us must contain all of the following information: (1) your full name, address, username, and the email address associated with your account for the Services; (2) a detailed description of the nature and basis of the Dispute; (3) a description of the relief you want, including any money damages you request; and (4) your signature verifying the accuracy of the Notice and, if you are represented by counsel, authorizing us to disclose information about you to your attorney.

After receipt of your Notice, you and we shall engage in a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute for a period of 60 days, which both sides may extend by written agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Period”). During the Informal Dispute Resolution Period, neither you nor we may initiate an arbitration or other legal proceeding.

If the Dispute is not resolved during the Informal Dispute Resolution Period, you may initiate an individual arbitration as provided below.

Mediation. If a dispute arises out of or relates to these Terms, or the Participant’s involvement in an Event, and if said dispute cannot be resolved or settled through negotiation, Participant, individually and on behalf of all of her/his heirs, personal representatives, executors, successors and assigns, agrees that prior to the filing of any arbitration, or other legal action consistent with the provisions of these Terms, that Participant will first attempt, in good faith, to settle the dispute by non-binding mediation administered by JAMS Mediation, Arbitration and ADR Services (“JAMS”). The mediation shall take place in Boston, Massachusetts, and shall be facilitated by a neutral appointed JAMS. The costs of such mediation shall be shared equally by the parties thereto.

Arbitration. All controversies, disputes or claims arising out of or related to these Terms, to the extent not first resolved through negotiation and mediation, will be submitted to and for binding arbitration in front of a single arbitrator of JAMS, conducted in accordance with JAMS’ then-current General Arbitration Rules and Procedures (which shall include the applicability of JAMS’ Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards), at the JAMS’ offices in Boston, Massachusetts. All matters related to arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.) and not by any state arbitration law.

The arbitrator will have the right to award or include in the award any relief which the arbitrator deems proper in the circumstances, except that the arbitrator does not have the right to award exemplary, punitive, penal or multiple (e.g., double or treble) damages. The award and decision of the arbitrator will be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto and judgment upon the award may be entered solely in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. If Spartan is the prevailing party in any arbitration brought by you, you agree to reimburse Spartan for any arbitration costs and fees incurred by Spartan (except if you are resident of the State of California).

The arbitrator will not have the authority or right to add to, delete, amend, or modify the terms, conditions, or provisions of these Terms. All findings, decisions and awards of the arbitrator will be limited to the dispute(s) set forth in the written demand for arbitration (and any submitted counterclaim), and the arbitrator will not have authority to decide any other issues unless the parties to the arbitration mutually agree thereto.

Participant, individually and on behalf of all of her/his heirs, personal representatives, executors, successors and assigns, acknowledges and agrees that any arbitration will be conducted only on any individual, not a class-wide, basis (as further described below), and that an arbitration proceeding initiated by Participant and/or her/his heirs, personal representatives, executors, successors and assigns, may not be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding. No findings, conclusions, orders or awards emanating from any arbitration proceeding conducted hereunder may be introduced, referred to, or used in any subsequent or other proceeding as a precedent, to collaterally estop any party from advancing any claim or defense or from raising any like or similar issues, or for any other purpose whatsoever. The principles of collateral estoppel shall not apply in any arbitration proceeding conducted under this section.

Further, Participant, individually and on behalf of all of her/his heirs, personal representatives, executors, successors and assigns, acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any provision of law which provides for a longer limitations period, neither Participant nor Participant’s heirs, personal representatives, executors, successors and assigns will bring, commence, or maintain an action or claim of any kind, in connection with liability or obligation in connection with these Terms, or otherwise, unless brought before the expiration of the earlier of: (i) one (1) year after the date of discovery of the facts resulting in such alleged liability or obligation, or if earlier, the date such facts should or could have been discovered with reasonable diligence; or (ii) eighteen (18) months after the date of the first act or omission giving rise to such alleged liability or obligation. Actions and claims brought or asserted after expiration of the applicable limitations period shall be barred.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS (WHETHER IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION) AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, COORDINATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, REQUEST FOR PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. This also means that you and we may not participate in any class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, private attorney general, request for public injunctive relief, or representative proceeding brought by any third party.  Notwithstanding this provision or any other language in these Terms, you or we may participate in a class-wide settlement. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

Severability. If any portion of this Section 17 is found to be void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, then that portion shall be deemed to be severable and, if possible, superseded by a valid, enforceable provision, or portion thereof, that matches the intent of the original provision, or portion thereof, as closely as possible. The remainder of Section 17 and all other Terms shall continue to be enforceable and valid.

GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. The Uniform Commercial Code, the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act, and the United Nations Convention of Controls for International Sale of Goods shall not apply.
