Last Updated: June 22, 2023

You can find the earlier version(s) in our archive.

Please read these Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) carefully. Your creation of an account or use of the Service (as defined below) constitutes your consent to this Agreement.

This Agreement is between you and Tonal Systems, Inc. (“Tonal” or “we” or “us”) concerning your use of (including any access to: (a) Tonal’s trainer and/or any Tonal-branded package of smart accessories (a “Product”), and (b) your use (including any access to) (i) the embedded software and online services that Tonal makes available for use through  a Product, (ii) the Tonal website (www.tonal.com), and (iii) any mobile app(s) that Tonal makes available for use in connection with a Product (the “App”) (collectively (i)-(iii), together with any software, websites or pages, cloud services, content, and other materials and services available therein, and any successor service(s) and app(s) thereto, the “Service”). This Agreement hereby incorporates by this reference any additional terms and conditions posted by Tonal through the Service, or otherwise made available to you by Tonal, including but not limited to: 

Tonal Text Messaging Program Terms

Tonal Privacy Policy

Tonal Terms of Sale (https://www.tonal.com/terms-of-sale/)

Tonal Limited Warranty (https://www.tonal.com/warranty/)

By using the Service, you affirm that you are of legal age to enter into this Agreement, or, if you are not, that you have obtained parental or guardian consent to enter into this Agreement. Please note that separate requirements may apply to a minor’s use of any Tonal Product or Service. If you do not agree to this Agreement, you may not use the Service. 

If you are an individual accessing or using the Service on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any corporation, partnership or other entity with which you are associated (an “Organization”), then you are agreeing to this Agreement on behalf of yourself and such Organization, and you represent and warrant that you have the legal authority to bind such Organization to this Agreement. References to “you” and “your” in this Agreement will refer to both the individual using the Service and to any such Organization. Please note that use of the Service by or on behalf of any Organization may also be subject to additional terms made available by Tonal from time to time, which are hereby incorporated by this reference into this Agreement. 

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT, AS FURTHER SET FORTH IN SECTION 24 BELOW, REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR ANY OTHER COURT PROCEEDINGS, OR CLASS ACTIONS OF ANY KIND.

  1. Changes. We may change this Agreement from time to time by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting a revised Agreement through the Service.  Your use of the Service following any changes to this Agreement will constitute your acceptance of such changes. If you do not agree to any change to this Agreement, you must discontinue using the Services. The “Last Updated” legend above indicates when this Agreement was last changed. We encourage you to check the Service regularly to learn about changes to this Agreement. We may, at any time and without liability, modify or discontinue all or part of the Service (including access to any part of the Service via any third-party links); charge, modify or waive any fees required to use any part of the Service; or offer opportunities to some or all Service users.

  2. Information Submitted Through the Service. Your submission of information through the Service is governed by Tonal’s Privacy Policy, located at https://www.tonal.com/privacy (the “Privacy Policy”). You represent and warrant that any information you provide in connection with the Service is and will remain accurate and complete, and that you will maintain and update such information as needed or if requested by Tonal.

  3. Jurisdictional Issues. The Service is controlled or operated (or both) from the United States, and is not intended to subject Tonal to any non-U.S. jurisdiction or law. The Service may not be appropriate or available for use in some non-U.S. jurisdictions. Any use of the Service is at your own risk, and you must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in doing so. We may limit the Service’s availability at any time, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction that we choose.

  4. Fitness-Related Content. The content and other material and services available through the Service may include, but not limited to, instructional videos, exercise routines, exercise records, texts, graphics, data, articles, photos, videos, music, images, illustrations, user submissions, feedback and other media (all of the foregoing, the “Content”). Content may be protected by copyright and/or other intellectual property laws. You agree to abide by all copyright notices, trademark rules, information, and restrictions contained in any Content you access through the Service, and to not use, copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell, or otherwise exploit for any purpose any Content not owned by you (i) without the prior consent of the owner of that Content or (ii) in a way that violates someone else’s rights, including Tonal’s.

    You acknowledge and agree that Tonal is not a healthcare provider or fitness instructor; that the Service (including any recommendations and any information available through the Service that may be personalized) may not be appropriate for you, and does not constitute or replace medical advice; and that Tonal is not responsible for any results that may (or may not) be obtained from the use of the Service. You acknowledge and agree that it is your sole responsibility to consult with your personal physician regarding any medical condition, impairment or disability that may prevent or limit your ability to use the Service. You further understand and agree that you are solely responsible for abiding by your personal physician’s recommendation as to any such medical restrictions, and for using the Service solely in accordance with your personal physician’s advice.

  5. Family Content. You may permit individuals under the age of 18 and older than 15 to use the Content, including family Content only if you remain present and supervise the minor at all times during use of the Content and any family Content. You are fully responsible for the minor’s safe use of the Content and family Content. 

    Individuals under 15 years old are not permitted to use or access the Service, except as described in this Section 5. Minors who are at least 15 years old who can safely fit and use the Product may do so with parent/guardian consent and supervision and provided that their parent/guardian waives and releases Tonal for any such use. All individuals under the age of majority (a minor) must have permission to participate from a parent or legal guardian who will provide supervision. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a minor using the Product and Service, you are subject to this Agreement and responsible for that minor’s activity with the Product and their interactions with the Service. 

  6. Waiver. You understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to a variety of hazards and risks, foreseen or unforeseen, including risks that arise as a result of entering a gym space or any other space or environment in which the Service is made available, performing physical activity, and/or using the Product on which the Service is available. You understand that injuries or damage could occur by natural causes or activities of other persons, including the activities of other persons using such Product, or other third parties (including third-party fitness instructors and other exercise participants), whether as a result of negligence or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you voluntarily assume all risk of loss, damage and injury to person or property that may arise from, or that is related to, your use of the Service, whether such risk is known or unknown to you.

    You hereby waive and release Tonal and the Affiliated Entities (as defined below), to the maximum extent permitted by law, from any claim, action, suit or demand arising out of or in connection with the use of the Services (including with respect to any physical injury or death). You acknowledge that neither Tonal nor the Affiliated Entities will incur any obligation to you under any legal theory (including negligence) as a result of your use of the Service. You agree that this release is binding upon you and your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

    If you are a California resident, the foregoing release is intended to apply to all claims not known or suspected to exist, with the intent of waiving, if applicable, the effect of California Civil Code Section 1542 (which states as follows: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR) and other analogous laws or legal principles of any jurisdiction requiring the intent to release future unknown claims.  IF YOU ARE NOT A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS UNDER ANY STATUTE OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLE SIMILAR TO SECTION 1542 THAT GOVERNS YOUR RIGHTS IN THE JURISDICTION OF YOUR RESIDENCE.

  7. Rules of Conduct. In connection with the Service and any communications and interactions with Tonal representatives relating to the Service or the Product, you must not:
    • Post, transmit or otherwise make available through or in connection with the Service any materials (including Submissions, as defined below) that are or may be: (a) threatening, harassing, degrading, hateful or intimidating, or otherwise fail to respect the rights and dignity of others; (b) unlawful, defamatory, libelous, fraudulent or otherwise tortious; (c) obscene, indecent, pornographic or otherwise objectionable; or (d) protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, right of publicity or privacy or any other proprietary right, without the express prior written consent of the applicable owner.
    • Post, transmit or otherwise make available through or in connection with the Service (including Submissions) any virus, worm, Trojan horse, Easter egg, time bomb, spyware or other computer code, file or program that is or is potentially harmful or invasive or intended to damage or hijack the operation of, or to monitor the use of, any hardware, software or equipment (each, a “Virus”).
    • Use the Service for any commercial purpose without a separate written agreement with Tonal, or for any purpose that is fraudulent or otherwise tortious or unlawful.
    • Harvest or collect information about users of the Service.
    • Interfere with or disrupt the operation of the Service or the servers or networks used to make the Service available, including by hacking or defacing any portion of the Service; or violate any requirement, procedure or policy of such servers or networks.
    • Restrict or inhibit any other person from using the Service with his or her own Tonal Product.
    • Reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works of, sell, rent, lease, loan, timeshare, distribute or otherwise exploit any portion of (or any use of) the Service except as expressly authorized herein, without Tonal’s express prior written consent.
    • Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any portion of the Service, except where such restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law.

      You are responsible for obtaining, maintaining and paying for all hardware and all telecommunications and other services needed to use the Service.

      You’re required to observe the Official Tonal Community Rules on social networks and the forum guidelines for the Knowledgebase forums. 

  8. Offerings. The Service may make available listings, descriptions and images of goods or services or related coupons or discounts (collectively, “Offerings”), as well as references and links to Offering. Such Offering may be made available by Tonal or by third parties, and may be made available for any purpose, including general information purposes. The availability through the Service of any listing, description or image of a good or service does not imply our endorsement of such Offering or affiliation with the provider of such Offering. We make no representations as to the completeness, accuracy, reliability, validity or timeliness of such listings, descriptions or images (including any features, specifications and prices contained therein). Such information and the availability of any Offering (including the validity of any coupon or discount) are subject to change at any time without notice. Certain weights, measures and similar descriptions are approximate and are for convenience only. We make reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of Offering, including the applicable colors, however the actual colors you see will depend on your computer system, and we cannot guarantee that your computer will accurately display such colors. It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal and foreign laws (including minimum age requirements) regarding the purchase, possession and use of any Offering.

  9. Transactions. We may make available the ability to order, purchase or otherwise obtain certain Content or Offerings through the Service (a “Transaction”). If you wish to make a Transaction, you may be asked to supply certain relevant information, such as your name, credit card number and its expiration date, your billing address and your shipping information. You are responsible for updating your billing address and shipping address, and for keeping a valid credit card on file to avoid disruptions in the Service. You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any credit card that you submit in connection with a Transaction. By submitting such information, you grant to us the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating Transactions. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any Transaction. By making a Transaction, you represent that the applicable Content and/or Offerings will be used only in a lawful manner.

    Tonal reserves the right, including without prior notice, to limit the available quantity of or discontinue making available any Content and/or Offerings; to impose conditions on the honoring of any coupon, discount or similar promotion; to bar any user from making any Transaction; and to refuse to provide any user with any Content and/or Offerings. In the event we need to make a change to a Transaction, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time the order was made. Refunds and exchanges will be subject to Tonal’s applicable refund and exchange policies. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or on your behalf through the Service, at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred, including all shipping and handling charges. In addition, you are responsible for any taxes applicable to your Transactions. While it is our practice to confirm orders by e-mail, the receipt of an e-mail order confirmation does not constitute our acceptance of an order or our confirmation of an offer to sell a product or service.

    Content and/or Offerings, as applicable, will be shipped to an address designated by you, if applicable, so long as such address is complete and complies with the shipping restrictions contained on the Service. All Transactions are made pursuant to a shipment contract and, as a result, risk of loss and title for Content and/or Offerings, as applicable,  pass to you upon delivery of the Content and/or Offerings  to the carrier. You are responsible for filing any claims with carriers for damaged and/or lost shipments.

  10. Memberships. Certain features, content, functionalities and other aspects of the Service may be available only through a program (the “Membership Program”) for users with a valid membership (each, a “Member”) and a continuous Wi-Fi connection. The fee for the Membership Program (the “Membership Fee”) is the amount currently identified on our website at https://www.tonal.com/product/tonal/, plus any applicable taxes, and is non-refundable. The Membership Fee is separate from the cost of the Product. Tonal may, in its sole and absolute discretion, change the Membership Fee from time to time.

    An initial Membership Program term of one year is required with each purchase of a Tonal trainer, except trainers in multi-residence households as described below. The Membership Fee is payable on a monthly basis. After the initial one-year term, each membership will renew automatically on a monthly basis, unless you cancel your membership 30 days before any such renewal date. Any pause in the first year of your membership that’s approved in advance by Tonal or a disruption in your membership payments will extend the one-year term by the same number of days of the pause or disruption. Unless you notify us at least one (1) and no more than 30 days before any such renewal date that you wish to cancel your membership or that you do not wish to automatically renew your membership, you understand and expressly agree that your membership will automatically continue for additional periods of one month each, and you authorize Tonal (without notice to you, unless required by applicable law) to collect and charge the then-applicable Membership Fee and any applicable taxes, for each such renewal, using any payment card that Tonal has on file for your account. You agree to provide Tonal with alternate payment card information if the payment card Tonal has on file for you is no longer valid, or if you choose to use a different payment card. We require U.S.-based credit cards. For clarity, if your payment card expires or is no longer valid, your membership is paused, or we are otherwise unable to charge a Membership Fee payment to your payment card for any particular month during your initial membership term, you are still responsible for making twelve (12) monthly Membership Fee payments, which may mean that the monthly payments for your initial membership term continue until you have made twelve monthly payments. The Tonal trainer will stop functioning if you do not complete the twelve (12) monthly payments of the required initial Membership term.

    If you wish to cancel your membership, you may contact our Customer Care team here. Please contact our Customer Care team at least one (1) and no more than 30 days prior to your desired last day of the Membership Program.

    All Membership Fee payments are final. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any paid Membership Fees (or payable Membership Fees for the remainder of an existing membership term) are non-cancellable and non-refundable. If you decide to cancel your membership, your membership will automatically expire at the end of your then-current membership term. For example, if you cancel your membership in the middle of a monthly billing cycle, your membership will continue until the end of that billing cycle.

    Each membership is associated only with a single household, and cannot be used to enable any benefits of the Membership Program on any Tonal Product outside of your household. Please note that multiple residences that you maintain for your own personal use are considered a single household. A membership may permit the Member to create and manage additional user accounts, solely for family members and personal guests of the Member, that are permitted to use the benefits of the Membership Program on any Tonal Product associated with a valid membership (“Additional Users”). Each Additional User must accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement prior to using the Service, and the Member will be responsible for all acts and omissions of each Additional User under the membership.

    Tonal reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to exclude any individual(s) from the Membership Program or to terminate any membership, for any reason, including abuse of the Membership Program, failure to comply with this Agreement, failure to pay Membership Fee, or fraud, misrepresentation or other conduct detrimental to the interests of Tonal, solely as determined by Tonal in its sole discretion. Any such exclusion or termination may affect eligibility for further participation in the Membership Program.

    Please note that if your membership expires or is canceled or terminated, you and any Additional Users may no longer have access to any data, information or other Content (including historical data, usage records, custom workouts, etc.) associated with your membership, or to any advanced weight modes. For clarity, the ability to perform any workouts using the Product without a valid membership may be limited to adjusting the weight dial for the weight being lifted, provided that the Product has a continuous Wi-Fi connection.  

  11. Registration; User Names and Passwords. You may need to register to use all or part of the Service. We may reject, or require that you change, any user name (which may be your e-mail address), password or other information that you provide to us in registering. Your user name and password are for your personal use only and should be kept confidential; you, and not Tonal, are responsible for choosing a secure password and for any use or misuse of your user name or password, and you must promptly notify us of any confidentiality breach or unauthorized use of your user name or password, or your Service account.

    You are solely responsible for all use of the Service by any Additional Users and any other users who access the Service through you or the Product.  As a reminder all usage of the Service is subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

  12. Profiles and Forums. You and other visitors to or users of the Service may make available certain materials (each, a “Submission”) through or in connection with the Service, including on profile pages and through the Service’s interactive services, such as workout sharing features, message boards, competition leaderboards and other forums, and chatting, commenting and other messaging functionality. Tonal has no control over and is not responsible for any use or misuse (including any distribution) by any third party of Submissions. If you choose to make any of your personally identifiable or other information publicly available through the Service, you do so at your own risk.

  13. License. For purposes of clarity, you retain ownership of your Submissions. For each Submission, you hereby grant to us a worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable and fully sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license, without additional consideration to you or any third party, to reproduce, distribute, perform and display (publicly or otherwise), create derivative works of, adapt, modify and otherwise use, analyze and exploit such Submission, in any format or media now known or hereafter developed, and for any purpose (including promotional purposes, such as testimonials).

    In addition, if you provide to us any ideas, proposals, suggestions or other materials (“Feedback”), whether related to the Service or otherwise, such Feedback will be deemed a Submission, and you hereby acknowledge and agree that such Feedback is not confidential, and that your provision of such Feedback is gratuitous and without restriction, and does not place Tonal under any fiduciary or other obligation.

    You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant the licenses granted in this section, and that your Submissions, and your provision thereof through and in connection with the Service, are complete and accurate, and are not fraudulent, tortious or otherwise in violation of any applicable law or any right of any third party. You further irrevocably waive any “moral rights” or other rights with respect to attribution of authorship or integrity of materials regarding each Submission that you may have under any applicable law under any legal theory.

  14. Monitoring. We may (but have no obligation to) monitor, evaluate, alter or remove Submissions before or after they appear on the Service, or analyze your access to or use of the Service. Subject to our Privacy Policy, we may disclose information regarding your access to and use of the Service, and the circumstances surrounding such access and use, to anyone for any reason or purpose.

  15. Your Limited Rights. The Service is licensed (not sold) to end users, including Members. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, and solely for so long as you are permitted by Tonal to use the Service, we hereby permit you, on a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable basis, to (a) use the Service (excluding the App) on Tonal-branded Products, solely for your personal, non-commercial use; and (b) install and use the App on a mobile device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use and otherwise in conformance with applicable operating system agreements. If you fail to comply with any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, you must immediately cease using the Service, and remove (that is, uninstall and delete) the App from your mobile device. You may not copy, reproduce, or modify, create derivative works from, translate, publish, broadcast, synchronize, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell or otherwise exploit for any purpose the Service. You acknowledge that the Service contains materials subject to copyrights, patents, trade secrets and/or other intellectual property rights (“Intellectual Property”) of Tonal, and, in order to protect such Intellectual Property, you agree not to disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer the Service nor permit any third party to do so, except to the extent such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law. Tonal reserves all rights, including Intellectual Property rights and all associated goodwill, and licenses in and to the Service not expressly granted to you under this Agreement. 

  16. Tonal’s Proprietary Rights. We and our applicable licensors own the Service, which is protected by proprietary rights and laws. Our trade names, trademarks,service marks and logos include, but are not limited to, TONAL, BE YOUR STRONGEST and any associated logos. All trade names, trademarks, service marks and logos on the Service not owned by us are the property of their respective owners. You may not use our trade names, trademarks, service marks or logos in connection with any product or service that is not ours, any product or service or use that is not expressly authorized by us, or in any manner that is likely to cause confusion. Nothing contained in the Service should be construed as granting any right to use any trade names, trademarks, service marks or logos without the express prior written consent of the owner.

  17. Third Party Materials; Links. Certain Service functionality may make available access to information, products, services, Offerings, terms, conditions, policies and other materials made available by third parties, including Submissions (“Third Party Materials”), or allow for the routing or transmission of such Third Party Materials, including via links. By using such functionality, you are directing us to access, route and transmit to you the applicable Third Party Materials.

    We neither control nor endorse, nor are we responsible for, any Third Party Materials, including the accuracy, validity, timeliness, completeness, reliability, integrity, quality, legality, usefulness or safety of Third Party Materials, or any Intellectual Property rights therein. Certain Third Party Materials may, among other things, be inaccurate, misleading or deceptive. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a representation or warranty by Tonal with respect to any Third Party Materials. We have no obligation to monitor Third Party Materials, and we may block or disable access to any Third Party Materials (in whole or part) through the Service at any time. In addition, the availability of any Third Party Materials through the Service does not imply our endorsement of, or our affiliation with, any provider of such Third Party Materials, nor does such availability create any legal relationship between you and any such provider.

    Your use of Third Party Materials is at your own risk and is subject to any additional terms, conditions and policies applicable to such Third Party Materials (such as terms of service or privacy policies of the providers of such Third Party Materials).

  18. Promotions. Any sweepstakes, contests, raffles, surveys, games, referral programs, or similar promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) made available through the Service may be governed by rules that are separate from this Agreement. If you participate in any Promotions, please review the applicable rules as well as our Privacy Policy. If the rules for a Promotion conflict with this Agreement, the Promotion rules will govern.

  19. Beta Features. From time to time, Tonal may offer new “Beta” features or tools that its users may test and evaluate. Beta Programs may be subject to additional terms and conditions, which Tonal will provide to you prior to your use of the Beta features.  Such features or tools are offered solely for evaluation purposes and without any warranty of any kind, and may be modified or discontinued at Tonal’s sole discretion. 

  20. Disclaimer of Warranties. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and except as applicable in Tonal’s Limited Warranty: (a) the Service and any Offerings and Third Party Materials are made available to you on an “As Is,” “Where Is” and “Where Available” basis, without any warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory; and (b) Tonal disclaims all warranties with respect to the Service and any Offerings and Third Party Materials, including the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement and title. All disclaimers of any kind (including in this section and elsewhere in this Agreement) are made for the benefit of both Tonal and its affiliates and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, investors affiliates, agents, representatives, licensors, suppliers and service providers (collectively, the “Affiliated Entities”), and their respective successors and assigns.

If you become aware of any such alteration, contact us at support@tonal.com with a description of such alteration and its location on the Service.

    You should reference the Tonal Terms of Sale for the terms applicable to the Product. 

  21. Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law: (a) Tonal will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages of any kind, under any contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or other theory, including damages for loss of profits, use or data, other intangible loss, loss of security of Submissions (including unauthorized interception by third parties of any Submissions, even if advised in advance of the possibility of such damages or losses; (b) without limiting the foregoing, Tonal will not be liable for damages of any kind resulting from your use of or inability to use the Service or from any Offerings or Third Party Materials, including from any virus that may be transmitted in connection therewith, or from Tonal’s termination of this Agreement; (c) your sole and exclusive remedy for dissatisfaction with the Service or any Offerings or Third Party Materials is to stop using the Service; and (d) the maximum aggregate liability of Tonal for all damages, losses and causes of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, shall be the greater of (a) the total amount, if any, paid by you to Tonal to use the Service within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of the applicable claim; and (b) ten U.S. Dollars ($10). All limitations of liability of any kind (including in this section and elsewhere in this Agreement) are made for the benefit of both Tonal and the Affiliated Entities, and their respective successors and assigns.

  22. Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Tonal and the Affiliated Entities, and their respective successors and assigns, from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses and fees (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to (a) any use of, or activities in connection with, the Service (including all Submissions) by you, your Additional Users, and/or any other person who uses the Service through you or your Tonal trainer; and (b) any violation or alleged violation of this Agreement by you.

  23. Termination. This Agreement is effective until terminated. Tonal may terminate or suspend your use of the Service at any time and without prior notice, for any or no reason, including if Tonal believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of this Agreement, solely as determined by Tonal in its sole discretion. Upon any such termination or suspension, your right to use the Service will immediately cease, and Tonal may, without liability to you or any third party, immediately deactivate or delete your user name, password and account, and all associated materials, without any obligation to provide any further access to such materials. Sections 2–7, 10–13 and 15–28 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

  24. Governing Law; Venue; Arbitration. 
    • Governing Law and Venue
      The terms of this Agreement are governed by the laws of the State of California,  United States of America (including federal arbitration law), without regard to its principles of conflicts of law, and regardless of your location.  If any dispute or claim between you and Tonal is not subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 24(b), then the state and federal courts located in the County of San Francisco County, California, will have exclusive jurisdiction. You and Tonal waive any objection to venue in any such courts. If your local law requires that consumer contracts be interpreted subject to local law and enforced in the courts of that jurisdiction, this section may not apply to you only to the extent that local law conflicts with this section. 
    • Binding Individual Arbitration
      Disputes that must be Arbitrated. The terms of this Section 24(b) apply to all Disputes between you and Tonal.  “Dispute” means any disputes or claims (excluding those exceptions listed below) arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Service or any aspect of the relationship between you and Tonal, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, including, without limitation, disputes or claims arising out of or relating to interpretation, application, enforceability, revocability or validity of these arbitration terms.

      The terms of this Section 24(b) do not apply to the following exceptions: (a) claims that qualify for small claims court, (b) claims exclusively related to the intellectual property or intellectual property rights of you or Tonal, and (c) an action for injunctive relief in a court of law to preserve the status quo while an arbitration proceeds. Nothing in this Agreement will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us.

      This Section 24(b) only applies to Disputes and does not prevent either party from taking unilateral actions they are entitled to take under this Agreement. This means, for example, that you can cancel your membership at any time without needing to arbitrate the decision first. Likewise, Tonal may enforce this Agreement through actions like terminating or suspending your use of the Service at any time without needing to arbitrate the decision first. If you or Tonal believe that the other has made a mistake about what actions the Agreement allows them to take (e.g., you disagree with Tonal suspending or terminating your access to the Services), that disagreement is a Dispute to which the binding individual arbitration requirements in Section 24(b) would apply.  

      Informal Dispute Resolution. If you have a Dispute with Tonal, we would like the opportunity to talk to you about it before you initiate an arbitration proceeding. You can send a notice of your Dispute  to us at support@tonal.com or by certified mail to the attention of Tonal’s Legal Department at the Tonal address set out  below in Section 26.  In your notice, you should include your name, address, and any other contact information, a  description of the nature and basis of your dispute and the relief you are seeking.  We hope you’ll try the informal dispute resolution process first, but you don’t have to before filing an arbitration action. Please read this subsection carefully as it affects your legal rights. 

      Agreement to Binding Arbitration.  DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED SOLELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND TONAL AND YOU AGREE THAT TONAL AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY. 

      Opt-Out of Arbitration Agreement. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by emailing support@tonal.com with your first name, last name, address and relevant membership account information within thirty (30) days of accepting this agreement to arbitrate, with a statement that you decline this arbitration agreement.

      Arbitration Procedures. Disputes may only be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for resolution through binding arbitration in English before one arbitrator. 

      If you are a consumer, meaning you use the Services only for personal, family or household purposes, the then-current version of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by this Agreement, will apply to any arbitration between you and Tonal. The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at https://www.adr.org/consumer. 

      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. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

      Federal Arbitration Act.  This Agreement affects interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section 24(b) will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the extent permitted by law. As limited by the FAA, this Agreement, and the AAA rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability.
    • Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND TONAL WILL ONLY BRING DISPUTES OR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICE OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND TONAL IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND SHALL NOT SEEK TO BRING, JOIN OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTIONS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS OR ANY OTHER KIND OF CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS. If this Section 24(c) is found to be unenforceable or unlawful such that any claims may proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction under Section 24(a) and not brought in arbitration under Section 24(b). The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

Notices to you (including notices of changes to this Agreement) may be made via posting to the Service or by e-mail (including in each case via links), or by regular mail.
