By purchasing a new Tonal trainer or new Tonal-branded package of smart accessories directly from Tonal Systems, Inc. (“Tonal”), or from a Tonal-authorized reseller, you or a giftee are agreeing to be bound by these Terms & Conditions of Sale (“Terms & Conditions”) and the terms of the warranty described in the Tonal Limited Warranty included with your purchase. Note that we reserve the right to change these Terms & Conditions at any time. Please read these carefully. These Terms & Conditions do not apply to purchasers who have a separate written contract with Tonal. A “giftee” is an individual who received a new Tonal trainer or new Tonal-branded package of smart accessories as a gift from the original purchaser; the giftee is considered the owner of the original membership attached to that Product. These Terms & Conditions are not applicable to any apparel, housewares or other goods sold on Tonal.com or items sold on the website of a Tonal-authorized reseller.
THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT. BY PLACING AN ORDER WITH TONAL, YOU ARE ACCEPTING AND AGREEING TO THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND ANY ENTITY YOU REPRESENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY TO ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND ANY SUCH ENTITY YOU REPRESENT. YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE OF SUFFICIENT LEGAL AGE IN YOUR JURISDICTION TO PURCHASE AND USE TONAL’S PRODUCTS AND TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS, YOU MUST NOT PURCHASE TONAL’S PRODUCTS.
THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT, AS FURTHER SET FORTH 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.
The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under these Terms & Conditions will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law. For a full description of your legal rights you should refer to the laws applicable in your jurisdiction or consult your own legal counsel. 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. To the extent that any of the limitations set out above do not apply, all remaining aspects survive.
YOUR USE OF TONAL’S PRODUCT
You must be at least 15 years old to use Tonal’s trainer equipment and package of smart accessories (collectively, “Product”) and to establish an account on the Tonal service. The Product is offered and intended only for your personal use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party. 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, you are subject to these Terms & Conditions and responsible for that minor’s activity with the Product and their interactions with the Tonal service.
Notwithstanding anything in these Terms & Conditions to the contrary, any software embedded in the Product (“Software”) is licensed (and not sold) to you and is subject to the Tonal Terms of Service . Subject to the terms of these Terms & Conditions, Tonal grants to you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to use the Product’s Software, solely in executable form, solely as embedded in the Product, solely for your internal, non-commercial use in connection with your use of the Product. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, translate, publish, broadcast, synchronize, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell or otherwise exploit for any purpose the Software. You acknowledge that the Software contains copyrights, patents, trade secrets and/or other intellectual property (“Intellectual Property”) of Tonal, and, in order to protect such Intellectual Property, you agree not to disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer the Software nor permit any third party to do so, Tonal reserves all rights, including Intellectual Property rights and all associated goodwill, and licenses in and to the Software not expressly granted to you under these Terms & Conditions.
PRICING
Tonal’s Product pricing, features and the availability of the Product can change at any time without notice. Prices indicated are in U.S. dollars and we will indicate to you other applicable shipping charges and taxes prior to your purchase. In addition to the Product purchase price, you are responsible for paying such charges and taxes. Any subscription or membership fees are separate from the Product purchase price; see the Tonal Terms of Service for more details on membership fees. By your purchase, you agree to indemnify and hold Tonal harmless from and against any liabilities, interest, penalties or fees arising from a failure to pay any such charges or taxes.
SHIPPING
The Product is not offered or intended for sale outside of the United States. Tonal will not ship any Product outside of the United States, and you will be solely and completely responsible for any purchase or use of the Product outside of the United States. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Tonal will not accept responsibility or liability associated with any loss, damage, or other injury caused by your purchase or use of the Product outside of the United States. You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Product is destined or in which the Product is used. We are not liable or responsible if you violate any such law(s).
Title to the Product and risk of loss will pass to you upon delivery of the Product to a carrier. You acknowledge that all scheduled shipment dates are estimates only. Tonal will make commercially reasonable efforts to meet the scheduled shipment dates, but in no event will Tonal be liable for any loss, damage, or penalty resulting from any delay in shipment or delivery.
Any estimated arrival or delivery date provided by Tonal is not a guarantee. Although Tonal will make commercially reasonable efforts to meet estimated delivery dates, delivery of the Product may take more or less time than estimated and Tonal disclaims any loss, damage, or injury resulting from a delay in arrival or delivery. Deliveries that are refused may be returned to us, and it may take up to 45 days for returned Products to be processed for any potential refund or replacement.
If you purchase directly from Tonal and finance your purchase through Affirm, in limited cases your Affirm loan may be due to expire before your Product ships. We will notify you and give you the option to either (a) start payments or (b) cancel your existing order and place a new order via Affirm or with a credit card. If you cancel your order and place a new order, your place in line will remain the same, although your Product will not ship until you place the new order. Note that if you finance the new order with Affirm, we cannot guarantee the same interest rate as your existing loan. Affirm may not be available or offered for purchases made from Tonal-authorized resellers.
INSTALLATION
By purchasing the Product, you agree to allow and provide Tonal or its authorized designees access to your designated location of installation of the Product for purposes of Tonal or its authorized designees installing, maintaining, repairing, or uninstalling and removing the Product as necessary if and to the extent that Tonal agrees to undertake such activities. Tonal is not responsible for choice of location of installation and is not responsible for damage or injury resulting from installation at an improper location, such as one without adequate structural support or adequate or safe power supply. You are solely responsible for determining whether the Product is appropriate for your home, and you accept that inability to install the Product or improper Product function as the result of your choice of location of installation are not valid claims under the Tonal Limited Warranty and do not establish a basis for receiving a refund after the 30-day refund policy described below. You acknowledge and agree that the Product must be adhered to a wall and that, although the Tonal-authorized installers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to limit damage during any installation you request or purchase from Tonal, maintenance, repair, or removal, there may be damage to the wall, paint, or structure and that you are fully responsible for any such damage. Tonal is not responsible for any such damage, nor is Tonal responsible for any damage or injury caused by self-installation or other unauthorized installation or, maintenance, repair, or removal.

ARBITRATION CLAUSE & CLASS ACTION WAIVER
(the “Arbitration Section ”)
Initial Dispute Resolution. If a dispute arises between you and Tonal, we would like to talk to you about it before initiating an arbitration proceeding. To begin this process, before initiating any arbitration proceeding, you must send a Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) to us at support@tonal.com or by certified mail to the attention of Tonal’s Legal Department at the Tonal address: 617 Bryant Street, San Francisco, California 94107. 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 Tonal’s receipt of the Notice, then you or Tonal may initiate arbitration proceedings as set out below. Please read this section carefully as it affects your legal rights.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS OR USE OF THE PRODUCT OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND TONAL, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED SOLELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND YOU AGREE THAT TONAL AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY. SUCH DISPUTES INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO INTERPRETATION OR APPLICATION OF THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS, THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, INCLUDING THE ENFORCEABILITY, REVOCABILITY OR VALIDITY OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISION OR ANY PORTION OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISION. ALL SUCH MATTERS SHALL BE DECIDED BY AN ARBITRATOR AND NOT BY A COURT OR JUDGE.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATION PROCEEDING; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
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 . The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by these Terms & Conditions. 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 these Terms & Conditions 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 these Terms & Conditions, 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 by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms & Conditions 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 for you.

Amendments or changes will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the applicable website or sent to you. If Tonal changes any of the terms of this Arbitration Section after the date you first accepted these Terms & Conditions (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms & Conditions), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice to support@tonal.com (or Legal@tonal.com ) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or the date of Tonal’s email to you notifying you of such change.
