MDA may, in its sole discretion, refuse to offer the SPINtv Service to any person or entity and change the eligibility criteria at any time. You are solely responsible for ensuring that this Agreement is in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to you, and the right to access and use the SPINtv Service is revoked where this Agreement or use of the SPINtv Service is prohibited or conflicts with any applicable law, rule or regulation. Further, the SPINtv Service is offered only for your personal use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party.
2. License to Use the SPINtv Service.

Our Privacy Policy(https://spinning.com/privacy-policy) forms a part of this Agreement and is incorporated herein by reference. Please review the Privacy Policy to learn about:

- With whom we share that information.
4. Membership Requirements Registration.
To enjoy full access to the SPINtv Service, you must register as a member of the SPINtv Service and enter into a subscription agreement for access to our library of pre-recorded content and features (a “Subscription”). You must provide complete and accurate personal information and registration information to SPINtv, complete the Subscription process, and notify us promptly if any of your information changes.
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 SPINtv Service to ensure no unauthorized users access your account. If you become aware of an unauthorized access to your account, change your password and notify us immediately at info@spinning.com.
5. Membership Structure and Fees.
MDA will provide information on its then-current Subscription requirements on the SPINtv Site and/or by other means through the SPINtv Service. Features and prices are subject to change without notice.
6. Term and Termination; Account Deletion.
Term. This Agreement begins on the date you first use the SPINtv Service and continues as long as you have an account with MDA and/or continue to use the SPINtv Service.
Termination for Breach. MDA may, in MDA’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 if MDA determines that you have violated this Agreement or that your conduct or content would tend to damage MDA’s reputation and goodwill. If MDA deletes your account for these reasons, you may not re-register for or use the SPINtv Service under any other user name or profile. MDA may block your access to the SPINtv Service to prevent re-registration.
Effect of Termination / Account Deletion. Upon termination of this Agreement all licenses granted by MDA will terminate. The following sections survive termination: Indemnification, Limitation of Liability, Professional Advice Disclaimer, Medical Disclaimer, Intellectual Property and Sections 10-19. In the event of account deletion for any reason, User Content may no longer be available and MDA 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 SPINtv Service. MDA may, in its sole discretion, make available a very limited amount of content or features to non-subscribers from time to time.

8. Third Party Links and Content.
There may be links on the SPINtv Service that let you leave the particular SPINtv Service content you are accessing in order to access a linked site that is operated by a third party. MDA neither controls nor endorses these sites, nor has MDA reviewed or approved the content that appears on them.

13. Arbitration Clause & Class Action Waiver – Important – Please Review as this Affects Your Legal Rights.
Arbitration. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND MDA OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES IN THEIR CAPACITY AS SUCH (WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DISPUTE INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY) WITH REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR USE OF THE SPINTV SERVICE, AND/OR RIGHTS OF PRIVACY OR PUBLICITY, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION UNDER THE JAMS, INC. (“JAMS”) RULES FOR ARBITRATION OF CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF DISPUTE, AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT EITHER PARTY MAY SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER APPROPRIATE EQUITABLE RELIEF IN ANY U.S. COURT HAVING JURISDICTION TO PROTECT AGAINST AN INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF THAT PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
Small Claims Court. As an alternative, you or MDA may bring a claim in your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules and within such court’s jurisdiction, unless the action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. You may bring such claims only on your own behalf.
Class Action Waiver. Neither you nor MDA or its affiliates and business partners will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this agreement to arbitrate. YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US, INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if we are a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. If JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within 160 days of filing, then either we or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the American Arbitration Association. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with this Agreement.
Time Limitation. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with your relationship with us, including the use of the SPINtv Service or this Agreement, must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever banned.
Opt-Out. If you do not wish to be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions in this Section 13, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first use the SPINtv Service or 30 days from the date this Section 13 was last updated (unless a longer period is required by applicable law). Your written notification must include your name and mailing address, your username and the email address you used to set up your SPINtv account (if you have one), and a statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with us through arbitration and demonstrating compliance with the 30-day time limit to opt out. You must mail your opt-out notice to this address: Mad Dogg Athletics, Inc., Attn: Dispute Resolution Opt-out, 2111 Narcissus Court, Los Angeles, CA 90291. If you do not notify us in accordance with this Section 13, you agree to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions set out above, including any revisions we make to this Agreement after the date of your acceptance. If we make any changes to this Section (other than a change to the address at which we will receive notices), you may reject the change by sending us written notice to the above address within 30 days of the effective date of the change. Any opt-out notice affects this Agreement only; if you previously entered into other arbitration agreements or class action waivers with us or enter into other such agreements in the future, your notification that you are opting out of the dispute resolution provision in this Agreement will not affect the other agreements between you and us.
Fees. Your arbitration fees will be limited to those fees set forth in the JAMS Rules for Arbitration of Consumer-Related Disputes with the remainder paid by SPINtv.
Survival. This Section 13 will survive the termination of your relationship with us. If any of the prohibitions against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable under applicable law, then such provisions will be null and void and severed from this Agreement.
14. Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, 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. Subject to the foregoing agreements in Section 13, any other action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of the SPINtv Service must be commenced in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles, California, United States of America, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
15. Interpretation; Severability; Waiver; Remedies.
Headings are for convenience only and shall not be used to construe the terms of this Agreement. If any term of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, that term will be severed from this Agreement. No failure or delay by MDA in exercising any right hereunder will waive any further exercise of that right. MDA’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive.
16. Successors; Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
This Agreement is binding upon and will inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, and permitted assigns.
