To use the Services, you must sign up and create an account. By creating an account, you agree:
- To provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself ("User Data");

Security
You are fully responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password and for preventing unauthorized access to your account. You accept full responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or from your devices, including Event registrations, community posts, payments for exclusive experiences, and any conduct at Events.
You agree to notify Flexmode immediately of any unauthorized access or use of your account or password, or any other breach of security. Unauthorized access to your account could expose your User Data and any other information or content you provide to Flexmode to unwanted or unintended third parties.
Third-Party Integrations
You may sign up for or login to your account via a third-party network, such as Google, Apple, or Facebook. If you do this, you authorize Flexmode to fill in the registration and other relevant information fields of your account and/or use such third-party credentials to log you into your account, based on those third parties' privacy policies.
You may also choose to connect or share information with third-party fitness apps, wearables, health tracking devices, or social media platforms that integrate with the Services. Information collected by these third parties is subject to their own terms and policies, and Flexmode is not responsible for the terms or policies of third parties.
3. Fees and Payment
Membership
Certain features of the Services are free, including basic community access and Event discovery. Premium membership features provide access to exclusive Events, curated experiences, priority Event registration, enhanced community features, and other benefits as described on the Services.
If you decide to access Premium Features, you will need to pay membership fees, plus any applicable taxes. Depending on your jurisdiction and your banking provider, you may be charged additional fees (e.g., a foreign transaction fee) when you purchase a Flexmode membership.
Membership fees are paid on a periodic billing cycle, depending on the membership plan you choose (monthly, annual, or other plans as offered). You agree to pay your membership fees on time.
Flexmode has the right to increase membership fees or add new fees at any time after giving at least thirty (30) days' advance notice. Changes in membership fees will take effect on your next billing date, unless otherwise stated.
Event Fees
Separate from membership fees, certain Events and experiences may require additional registration fees, ticket purchases, equipment rentals, or other charges. All Event fees are due at the time of registration unless otherwise specified for the particular Event.
Event fees are generally non-refundable unless:
- The Event is canceled by Flexmode;
- You cancel within the cancellation period specified for the Event (if any);
- Flexmode determines in its sole discretion that special circumstances warrant a refund; or
- As otherwise required by applicable law.
If you cancel an Event registration and are entitled to a refund, a processing fee of up to 10% of the Event fee may be deducted from your refund to cover administrative costs.
Payment
To pay any fees to Flexmode, you must select and provide information about your preferred payment method (e.g., credit card, debit card, online payment service such as PayPal or Stripe, or any other payment method made available by Flexmode) (the "Payment Method"). You authorize us to charge your Payment Method for all fees you incur and to collect and use your payment information for payment of the fees. More information about how we process your payment information is in our Privacy Policy.
You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use any Payment Method you provide to Flexmode. You authorize Flexmode to charge your Payment Method for all amounts due, including membership fees, Event fees, late fees, and any other charges you incur.
You may switch to a different Payment Method or update your information by visiting your account settings. If your Payment Method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms, which may include charging other payment methods on file or retaining collection agencies or legal counsel.
If payment is not received or cannot be charged to your Payment Method for any reason, Flexmode reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your access to the Services or pursue collection of amounts due.
No refunds or credits will be provided by Flexmode, except as specifically set out in these Terms or as required by law.
Auto-Renewal
Your membership will renew automatically at the start of every billing period, based on the plan you chose, and will continue until your membership is canceled. Your membership will auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
If you do not cancel before the auto-renewal date, you authorize Flexmode to charge your Payment Method for the renewal fee.
Cancellation
You can cancel your membership at any time through your account settings or by contacting customer support at contact@theflexmode.com. The cancellation of your membership will go into effect at the end of your current billing period. When your membership ends, you will no longer have access to Premium Features. You can resubscribe at the then-current pricing at any time.
Cancellation of your membership does not entitle you to a refund of any prepaid membership fees.
Cooling Off Period
If you reside in a jurisdiction that provides a statutory right to cancel within a certain period (such as the EU's 14-day cooling-off period), you may be entitled to a full refund within that period as required by local law.
Free Trials
We have the right to offer free trials of Premium Features whenever we want and however we choose. Unless otherwise stated, free trials cannot be combined with other offers and will last for the duration stated in the free trial offer.
If you begin your membership with a free trial, you will be billed for your membership fee at the end of the free trial, unless you cancel your membership at least 24 hours before the free trial ends.
When you register for a free trial, you may be required to provide a Payment Method and Flexmode may authorize a temporary charge to verify your Payment Method. Sometimes, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization; however, no charges will be made against the Payment Method if you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of your free trial period.
Chargebacks
If you initiate a chargeback or dispute a charge with your financial institution rather than contacting Flexmode to resolve the issue, Flexmode may immediately suspend or terminate your account. Flexmode reserves the right to dispute any chargeback and to recover costs associated with chargebacks, including legal fees and administrative costs.
4. Events and Experiences
Event Registration
When you register for a Flexmode Event or experience, you agree to:
- Provide accurate information for yourself and any guests you register;
- Pay all applicable Event fees at the time of registration;
- Attend the Event in person if you have confirmed attendance, or notify Flexmode as soon as possible if you cannot attend;
- Comply with all Event-specific rules, safety requirements, equipment requirements, and venue policies;

Event Cancellations and Changes
Flexmode reserves the right to cancel, postpone, modify, or relocate any Event or experience at any time due to weather, safety concerns, insufficient registration, venue issues, force majeure events, or other circumstances beyond our control or as determined in our sole discretion.
In the event of cancellation by Flexmode, registered attendees will receive either:
- A full refund of Event fees (excluding any non-refundable processing fees); or
- Credit toward future Events of equal or greater value, at Flexmode's discretion.
Flexmode will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of cancellations or changes, but is not liable for any inability to provide such notice.
If you cancel your Event registration, refunds will be provided only in accordance with the specific cancellation policy disclosed at the time of registration. Absent a specific cancellation policy for an Event, Event fees are non-refundable.
Transfers and Substitutions
You may not transfer, sell, or assign your Event registration to another person without Flexmode's prior written consent. Unauthorized transfers may result in cancellation of the registration without refund.

Removal from Events:
- Flexmode reserves the right to remove any participant from an Event for violating these Terms, engaging in unsafe conduct, or for any other reason in our sole discretion.
- Participants removed from Events will not receive refunds and may be banned from future Events.
Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Liability
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS INVOLVES INHERENT AND SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, DISABILITY, AND DEATH. These risks include, but are not limited to:

This waiver and release applies to claims for personal injury, death, property damage, emotional distress, loss of consortium, and any other damages or losses, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen.

5. Media Release and Publicity
Photography and Video at Events
Events may be photographed, filmed, or otherwise recorded by Flexmode, its designees, media partners, sponsors, or other participants. By attending an Event, you grant Flexmode and its designees an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use your name, image, likeness, voice, statements, and biographical information captured at the Event in any media format and for any purpose, including:

If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed, you must notify Event staff in advance and remain in designated media-free zones (if available). However, Flexmode cannot guarantee that you will not be incidentally captured in photos or videos, and your attendance at the Event constitutes acceptance of this risk.

- Not to sell, license, or distribute photos or videos depicting Flexmode branding, Event signage, sponsor logos, or other proprietary elements;

7. License to Use Your Content
To provide the Services, we need permission to use your Content. This permission is called a license.
You grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform and display any of your Content and any name, username or likeness that you post on or in connection with the Services in all media formats and channels now known or later developed, without compensation to you.

Except for public posts to community forums, Events you have created, clubs you have formed, and photos/videos from Events, this license ends when your Content is deleted from Flexmode's systems. For public community posts, Events you have created, clubs you have formed, and Event-related photos and videos, the license will be perpetual (indefinite) in nature, and we may continue to store and use such information after your account is deleted.
You agree and confirm that you are able to give Flexmode any licenses, rights, or other permissions set out in these Terms.
8. Your Feedback
You may have the ability to provide comments, feedback, suggestions, ideas, original or creative materials, and other communications regarding the Services and the information and services we make available through the Services (collectively, "Feedback").
If you provide Feedback, you grant Flexmode a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, assignable, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to copy, distribute, create derivative works of, publicly display, and perform and otherwise exploit such Feedback and to use, make, have made, sell, offer for sale, import, and export products and services based on such Feedback. For this reason, do not send Flexmode any Feedback if you do not want to give us the license set out in this section.
For the avoidance of any doubt, Feedback is not considered Content for the purposes of Section 7 (License to Use Your Content).
9. Responsibility for Content and Conduct
We want all of our users to enjoy their Flexmode experience in a safe and positive environment. For this reason, we have developed our Acceptable Use Policy and Community Standards, which form part of these Terms and are incorporated by reference.

You accept all safety, security, and other risks associated with the use of any Flexmode or third-party geolocation features, tools, and technology, including when sharing your location at Events, posting about locations through the Services, or using map-based features.
These risks may be greater depending on your circumstances, including if you work in a sensitive job, have privacy or security concerns, or are in a location where disclosure of your whereabouts could create risks.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Flexmode is not responsible for any such risks. You agree to use any such geolocation features, tools, and technology in a way that is safe, secure, and responsible, in accordance with your circumstances and applicable laws.
You understand that sharing your location information may enable others (including strangers) to identify your patterns, routines, home address, workplace, and other sensitive information. Exercise caution when sharing location information.
Nothing in this section limits or takes away from any other sections in these Terms where we disclaim warranties and limit or exclude liability. You can learn more about how we use geolocation information in our Privacy Policy.
12. Privacy Controls
Your Content will not be subject to any obligation of privacy or confidence on the part of Flexmode, except as set out in our Privacy Policy and your chosen privacy controls, and Flexmode will not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Content you provide.
Content is public by default when you sign up for the Services. Our privacy controls allow you to mark certain Content as private or available only to a limited group of Flexmode users (such as your connections or specific clubs).
You are responsible for the public nature of your Content if you do not choose to mark your Content as private or available for a limited group of users, or if you later change your choice to make such Content public.
We encourage you to review your privacy settings regularly and to be mindful of what information you share publicly.

Informal Resolution
Before filing any formal legal action, you agree to first contact Flexmode to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. You may contact us at contact@theflexmode.com with a description of your dispute. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within 60 days.
Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Except for disputes relating to Flexmode's intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents), disputes relating to the enforceability of this arbitration provision, or if you opt out of this agreement to arbitrate as set forth below, all claims, disputes, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms, your use of the Services, or your relationship with Flexmode (collectively, "Claims") will be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services) in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures for consumer-related disputes, as modified by this agreement to arbitrate.
The arbitration will be conducted in Miami-Dade County, Florida, or at another mutually agreed location, or by telephone or videoconference if the parties agree. If the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing.
The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration.
The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity; provided, however, that the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies, or awards that conflict with these Terms.
The arbitrator's decision and award will be in writing and will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Arbitration Fees: JAMS sets forth fees for its services. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Flexmode will pay all JAMS filing, administration, and arbitrator fees, provided your claim is not frivolous (as determined by applicable law or the JAMS Rules). If your claim exceeds $10,000, the payment of fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. If Flexmode prevails in the arbitration and the arbitrator finds that your claim was frivolous, you agree to reimburse Flexmode for any fees paid on your behalf.
No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings: YOU AND FLEXMODE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and Flexmode agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, class, or consolidated proceeding.
If a court determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request for relief shall be severed and shall proceed in court, while any remaining claims or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.
Batch Arbitration: If 15 or more similar claims are asserted against Flexmode by the same or coordinated counsel or entities, you agree that these claims may be resolved in batches of up to 20 individual arbitrations at a time. Each side may select up to 10 claims per batch to be filed and resolved. No other claims may be filed or prosecuted until the first batch is resolved. This process will continue until all claims are resolved. A court has exclusive authority to enforce this paragraph.
Exception—Small Claims Court
Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim qualifies for small claims court and remains in small claims court.
Exception—Injunctive Relief
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
Thirty-Day Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions set forth in this Section 30. To opt out, you must send written notice of your decision to opt out to:
Flexmode Florida, LLC
Attn: Legal Department (Arbitration Opt-Out)
80 SW 8th ST
Miami, 33130, USA
Email: contact@theflexmode.com
The opt-out notice must be postmarked or sent electronically no later than 30 days after the date you first accept these Terms (i.e., when you first create an account or use the Services). The notice must include your name, address, email address associated with your Flexmode account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. If you opt out of the arbitration agreement, Flexmode will also not be bound by it, but all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply.
Opting out of this arbitration provision will not affect your ability to use the Services.
Waiver of Jury Trial
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND FLEXMODE WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Flexmode are instead electing that all Claims shall be resolved by arbitration under this agreement to arbitrate, except as specified above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.
Time Limitation on Claims
You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with Flexmode, these Terms, or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim will be permanently barred. The one-year period begins to run when you first knew or should have known of the events giving rise to the claim.
Severability
If any part of this Section 30 (Dispute Resolution) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect, except that if a finding of partial illegality or unenforceability would allow class or representative arbitration, this entire Section 30 will be unenforceable in its entirety. If the class-action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void (but the rest of these Terms will remain in effect).
30. Choice of Law and Venue
These Terms and any action or legal proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms, your use of the Services, Events, or your relationship with Flexmode will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
Subject to the arbitration provisions in Section 30, you agree that any legal action or proceeding between you and Flexmode shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. You irrevocably consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection to jurisdiction or venue in such courts.

32. General Provisions
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Community Standards, Acceptable Use Policy, and any other policies or agreements incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Flexmode with respect to your use of the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, agreements, or understandings, whether oral or written.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. If a provision cannot be modified to make it enforceable, it will be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
No Waiver
The failure of Flexmode to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Flexmode.
Assignment
You may not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer your account, your rights, or your obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Flexmode, and any unauthorized assignment will be void.

The following additional terms and conditions apply to you if you access or download the Flexmode mobile application (the "App") through the Apple App Store. These terms are in addition to all other terms in these Terms of Service and, to the extent of any conflict with other provisions of these Terms regarding the App obtained through the Apple App Store, these Apple App Store Additional Terms shall control.
Acknowledgement
You and Flexmode acknowledge that these Terms are concluded between you and Flexmode only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Flexmode, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content. These Terms may not provide for usage rules for the App that are in conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions as of the date you accept these Terms.
Scope of License
The license granted to you for the App is limited to a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Except as provided in the Usage Rules, you may not distribute or make the App available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time.
Maintenance and Support
Flexmode is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the App, as specified in these Terms or as required under applicable law. You and Flexmode acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App. For support inquiries, please contact Flexmode at contact@theflexmode.com.
Warranty
Flexmode is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed in Section 22 of these Terms (Disclaimer of Warranties). In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be Flexmode's sole responsibility.
Product Claims
You and Flexmode acknowledge that Flexmode, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App, including but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation. These Terms do not limit Flexmode's liability to you beyond what is permitted by applicable law.
Intellectual Property Claims
You and Flexmode acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Flexmode, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim. You agree to promptly notify Flexmode of any such claim of which you become aware.
Third-Party Beneficiary
You and Flexmode acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are intended third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to your use of the App. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
Legal Compliance
You represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
In-App Purchases and Subscriptions
If you purchase a subscription or other Premium Features through the App via the Apple App Store (an "In-App Purchase"), the following terms apply:
(a) Payment. Payment for In-App Purchases will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. All In-App Purchases are processed and managed by Apple through your Apple Account, not directly by Flexmode.
(b) Auto-Renewal. Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store will automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. Your Apple Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your Apple Account settings after purchase.
(c) Free Trials. If Flexmode offers a free trial period for a subscription purchased through the Apple App Store, any unused portion of the free trial will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable.
(d) Refunds. Refunds for In-App Purchases made through the Apple App Store are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's refund policies. To request a refund for an In-App Purchase, please contact Apple Support directly at https://reportaproblem.apple.com. Flexmode does not have the ability to process refunds for purchases made through the Apple App Store. For the avoidance of doubt, the refund and cancellation provisions in Section 3 of these Terms (Fees and Payment) apply only to purchases made directly through Flexmode outside of the Apple App Store.
(e) Price Changes. Flexmode may change subscription prices at any time. For subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store, Apple will notify you of any price changes in accordance with Apple's policies, and you will have the opportunity to accept or decline the new price. If you decline, your subscription may not renew at the end of the current period.
(f) No Chargebacks through Apple. The chargeback provisions in Section 3 of these Terms do not apply to purchases made through the Apple App Store. Disputes regarding In-App Purchases should be directed to Apple.
