Tonal
Conditions of Sales &
Limited Warranty (Goods)
Effective April 12, 2023
By purchasing housewares or other goods (“Goods”) directly from Tonal Systems, Inc. (“Tonal”) or from a Tonal-authorized reseller, you or a giftee are agreeing to be bound by these Conditions of Sales (“Conditions”) and the terms of the warranty described below. Note that we reserve the right to change these Conditions at any time. Please read these carefully. These Conditions do not apply to purchasers who have a separate written contract with Tonal. A “giftee” is an individual who received Goods as a gift from the original purchaser.
THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT. BY PLACING AN ORDER WITH TONAL, YOU ARE ACCEPTING AND AGREEING TO THESE 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 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 THE GOODS AND TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THESE CONDITIONS, YOU MUST NOT PURCHASE GOODS.
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 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.
PRICING
Pricing, features and the availability of Goods 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 purchase price, you are responsible for paying such charges and taxes. 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
Goods are not offered or intended for sale outside of the United States. Tonal will not ship any Goods outside of the United States, and you will be solely and completely responsible for any purchase or use of Goods 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 Goods outside of the United States. You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Goods are destined or in which the Goods are used. We are not liable or responsible if you violate any such law(s).
Title to Goods and risk of loss will pass to you upon delivery of the Goods 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 Goods 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 Goods to be processed for any potential refund or replacement.
INSTALLATION
By purchasing Goods to be used in the installation of a Tonal trainer, you agree to allow and provide Tonal or its authorized designees access to your designated location of installation of the trainer for purposes of Tonal or its authorized designees installing, maintaining, repairing, or uninstalling and removing the trainer 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 trainer product is appropriate for your home, and you accept that inability to install the trainer or improper trainer 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 for Goods described in these Conditions. You acknowledge and agree that the trainer 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, maintenance, repair, or removal.
RETURNS
If for any reason you are not satisfied with the Goods you purchase, you can return the Goods within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. Proof of purchase must accompany the return. No refunds will be issued 30 days after the date after purchase. Terms for returns of the Product are available in the Terms & Conditions .
To initiate a refund and to arrange for a return, contact Tonal ( support@tonal.com ; 855.698.6625). You will receive a refund of the returned Goods’ purchase-price and taxes you paid. If Goods are returned in damaged condition or with missing parts, you may be charged an additional fee. We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible.
The Goods are intended for use by you, the purchaser or giftee, and your single household, only.
WARRANTY
Goods purchased directly from Tonal or a Tonal-authorized reseller, have a one year warranty, beginning from the date of purchase or delivery of the Goods, whichever is later. Tonal warrants that, during the one-year warranty period, the Good item will be free from defects in materials and workmanship and will, under normal and intended use, function substantially in accordance with its description and specifications, if any. Proof of purchase is required as a condition to coverage under this warranty. However, this warranty does not cover the following:

- Normal wear and tear.
- Defects or malfunctions experienced during or caused by use that is not in conformity with Goods descriptions and specifications, if any.

If your Goods item has a defect or malfunction covered by this warranty, Tonal will repair, replace, or refund the item at the sole discretion of Tonal. If Tonal determines that a Goods item should be replaced, the replacement may be a new or a re-manufactured Goods item. Tonal may not return the original item to you, nor can Tonal guarantee replacement or repair of the item.

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 CONDITIONS OR USE OF THE GOODS 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

Tonal will provide 30 days’ notice of any changes to this arbitration agreement by posting on its websites or app(s), sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments or changes will become effective 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 Conditions (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Conditions), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice to support@tonal.com (or Legal@tonal.com ) within 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.
