1. Introduction

Buddyfit is an online training Platform, which allows you to carry out remote training sessions, allows Users and Trainers to get in touch, and provides IT tools for communication and data management for the purchase of services by Users and for the use and management of training in different ways.

The Buddyfit Platform is accessible to Users via the website, application for smartphones and tablets, and any other channels (such as apps for smart TVs or other devices such as Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV or similar) and is managed by the company Buddyfit S.r.l. (with registered office in Genoa, Piazza Borgo Pila 39, and email address info@buddyfit.club). These Terms and Conditions establish the legal framework for the use of the services we offer. Therefore, please read these Terms and Conditions carefully because by registering on Buddyfit using the services we offer you accept all the rules set out below. It will not be possible to register and use Buddyfit products and services without acceptance.

These Terms and Conditions will be valid until cancellation or modification of the current version effective from 8.1.2021.

1.2 Main definitions.

Platform: means all communication tools and operations between Buddyfit, Users and Trainers including, among other things, the "Buddyfit.club" website, other Buddyfit websites, applications for mobile devices available for example on iOS or Android and any other tools such as applications for smart TVs, or other devices such as Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV or similar.

User: means the person who registers on the Platform in order to carry out the training (or in any case not to carry out the activity of Trainer) and who uses the Buddyfit Platform to train and purchase services.

Trainer: on the other hand, it is the natural person, freelancer or company who uses the Platform for their own business, i.e. to sell their services to Users, to manage and follow training, to provide Classes on Buddyfit Live or provide other information and services. The Trainer can be a single Trainer, a sports club, a group of personal trainers, a fitness centre or a gym. Gyms and fitness centres can use the Platform in a similar way to Trainers but with some differences.

Application Store: these are virtual stores from which applications can be downloaded and through which it is possible to make purchases and payments or subscribe. For example, it is the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store or other stores such as those included connected to Smart TVs or other devices such as Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV or similar.

Buddyfit Class: the Class, or Buddyfit Class, is a training session carried out live by a Trainer through audiovisual streaming or video conferencing.

2.1 Contractual parties and object of the contract

The Terms and Conditions represent the basis of the usage contract stipulated between the User and our company, Buddyfit S.r.l. (hereinafter also "the company" or "us"). The object of this contract is the use, free of charge or for a fee, of the services offered on the Platform under the name Buddyfit (hereinafter referred to as "Buddyfit Services" or in general "Buddyfit").

2.2 Role of Buddyfit Srl

Buddyfit services can be advertised and sold directly by a Trainer (also through the Buddyfit Platform) but, where specified, they can be sold directly by Buddyfit as in the case of the Buddyfit Live subscription service. In the first case, Buddyfit operates as a simple intermediary and provides the Trainers with the tools and the IT structure useful (among other things) to provide their services, communicate, manage data, manage payments and get in touch with new customers.

In the first case, the recipient of the payments is not Buddyfit but is the Trainer, even when the payment is made on the Platform. Buddyfit is therefore not responsible for the content of the Provider's performance with respect to the User.

2.3 Terms and conditions of participation

Opening a User profile and using the Buddyfit Services requires a minimum age of 18 and full legal capacity.

Buddyfit is aimed exclusively at consumer users. According to the legal definition, a consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for reasons that cannot be predominantly attributed to either his commercial occupation or that of self-employed person. The use of Buddyfit for commercial purposes of any kind is prohibited. The role of the Trainer is an exception and is regulated in another specific agreement.

In addition to the right to modify these agreements, we reserve the right to agree on additional and different terms and conditions for individual Buddyfit Services. We will, however, notify these conditions prior to use.

3. Registration

Please note that in order to use the Buddyfit Services you must open a free profile with us and accept all the clauses of these Terms and Conditions. The registration (and the consequent opening of the profile) determines the conclusion of a contract based on these Terms and Conditions. This contract does not provide for a payment by the User until he purchases additional services.

It is possible to register only using the real name of the User, for example it is not possible to indicate fantasy names or pseudonyms.

Alternatively, it may be possible to open a profile using your Facebook or Google profile. The registration process will be complete once you enter your Facebook or Google profile information and click on the "Confirm" button.

If the User uses sports equipment or tools, it is his responsibility to ensure that such equipment and tools are in good working and installed condition and/or are properly set up.

the User must observe and comply with the health protection indications mentioned above.

The legal rules apply for claims related to defects in services. The consumer's rights are however guaranteed.

It is not implied or guaranteed that the use of the Buddyfit Services will lead to the sporting results or other results you desire. We do not promise concrete success. In addition, actual training results depend on factors that cannot be influenced, such as physical predisposition and pre-existing conditions. The results can therefore differ significantly between different people despite the common use of the Buddyfit Services.

7.1 Disclaimer

In light of the type of services offered (which are limited to the provision of software and digital content and the management of some personal data) Buddyfit declines all responsibility for any damage that the User may suffer while using the services, except as required by law.

Buddyfit non offre garanzie di alcun genere in relazione ai servizi e/o alle pratiche commerciali di terzi presenti nella Piattaforma.

7.2 Availability of services and errors

Due to the specific nature of the Internet and information services, Buddyfit does not guarantee uninterrupted access to the Platform or continuity of the service, Buddyfit's only obligation is to make a reasonable effort in this regard. Buddyfit will not be responsible for any failure to access the Platform or for any damage or loss resulting from the use or non-use of the Platform or its contents, except as provided by law. Buddyfit does not warrant that the information displayed is detailed, complete, verified or accurate. The Trainer services, information, and, in general, all content on the Platform are provided "as they appear" without expressing or implying warranties of any kind. Users expressly acknowledge that the photos on the Platform are not contractual. Tuttavia, poiché Buddyfit non può verificare fisicamente l'accuratezza delle informazioni raccolte e/o fornite dai Trainer, gli Utenti acconsentono al fatto che Buddyfit non possa essere ritenuta responsabile se gli Utenti non riescono a godere dei servizi dei Trainer. Thus, by way of example and without limitation, Users acknowledge and accept that Buddyfit is in no way responsible for cancelled services or Classes or if the Trainer refuses to provide a service or Class for any reason.

Users guarantee that they are fully familiar with the characteristics and limitations of the Internet and IT services and tools. In particular, they acknowledge that it is impossible to guarantee that the data sent by Users over the Internet is entirely secure. Buddyfit cannot be held responsible for any accidents resulting from such data transmission. Users agree to protect Buddyfit from liability, damages, expenses, claims or costs, deriving from complaints or disputes, including judicial ones, in relation to the use of the services of the Platform. In any case, Users explicitly acknowledge and agree to use the Platform at their own risk and under their sole responsibility.

7.3 Trainer's sole responsibility for the Buddyfit by Trainer activity.

Buddyfit is not responsible for the services provided directly by the Trainer. In the event that the User connects his profile to a Trainer, the latter will have the possibility to modify or create training plans. The agreement between the User and the Trainer takes place without any role on the part of Buddyfit which remains totally extraneous to it (without even knowing its content) and immune from any liability relating to the activity of the Trainer.

The Trainer is a professional external to the organisation of Buddyfit who does not provide any guarantee regarding the professionalism and qualifications of the Trainer, nor with respect to the actual execution of the Trainer's performance. The Buddyfit platform only provides the tools for communication and training management, remaining completely unrelated to the relationship between the User and the Trainer who remains solely responsible for his or her work. Buddyfit does not carry out (and is not required to carry out) any verification or monitoring activity on the Trainers (or on their identity or suitability), or control or moderation.

Buddyfit assumes no responsibility for the validity and correctness of the training plans, exercises and suggestions and advice of the Trainer provided through the Platform.

Unless otherwise specified, training advice is provided directly by the Trainer and Buddyfit is in no way responsible for the provision of the service by the Trainer, as well as for the quality and safety of the service. Buddyfit only provides the IT Platform for the purchase of services, training management, communication and the exchange and management of information.

12. Content uploaded by the User

The Buddyfit services include the possibility for the User to upload their own images to see and evaluate any improvements obtained over time through training. In this regard, Buddyfit will save the images on its servers and make them available to the User through the application.

Only in case of specific and expressed consent from the User, the connected Trainer will be able to access the images to be uploaded by the User in order to be able to evaluate the progress and needs of the User according to the training.

The User can at any time delete these images from the Buddyfit databases.

12.1 Protection of uploaded images.

Buddyfit offers a high level of computer protection against unwanted access to the images saved on its databases but (unless otherwise required by law) it assumes no responsibility for the case in which third parties are able to access the images in unpredictable and such ways which cannot reasonably be avoided. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of Users to keep confidential their profile access credentials as they allow access to images and other information. Buddyfit assumes no responsibility in case of unwanted access to the profile and contents through the correct credentials, or in case of unwanted sharing of the contents by the Trainers.

12.2 Prohibition to Upload Third Party Images, Prohibited or Offensive Images, or Nude Images.

It is absolutely forbidden for the User to upload images of other people or to upload images whose use or possession is prohibited by law or which are offensive and in any case the inclusion of nude images is prohibited.

Regardless of whether this gives rise to a crime, it is generally forbidden to upload content of a pornographic, sexual, violent, racist, seditious, discriminatory, unsuitable for minors, offensive and/or defamatory nature.

When posting your content, you are required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

The User and the Trainer are also required to refrain from violating the rights of third parties. This applies in particular to the personal rights of third parties and to the intellectual property rights of third parties (e.g. copyright and trademark rights). In particular, users must respect the necessary rights for uploading images.

The visualisation of the images by Buddyfit and its employees and collaborators is limited according to the privacy legislation and therefore no moderation activity is carried out. The only activity of Buddyfit consists, using computer methods, in saving the images and making them available to the same User who uploaded them.

We are authorised at any time and without notice, to delete or remove illegal content or content that violates the above principles. In the event of a breach of the above principles, we reserve the right to warn you or temporarily block your User profile or cancel the User agreement for good cause in accordance with this clause.

12.3 User's responsibility for images.

By uploading the images, the User assumes all responsibility regarding them, acknowledges that he is legitimately in possession of them and exonerates Buddyfit from any liability towards himself and expressly indemnifies Buddyfit from any liability towards third parties.

The User is obliged to indemnify Buddyfit for all requests from third parties following a violation of their rights by the User in relation to uploaded content. The User is also required to bear the costs of all legal actions in which Buddyfit may be involved in relation to the aforementioned requests, including all court costs and legal fees to the maximum extent permitted by law, unless its liability for this violation has not been expressly excluded.

In the event that a request is submitted by a third party, the User must provide Buddyfit, in a timely and accurate manner, with all the information available to the User that may be necessary to verify the request and prepare a defensive action. This provision does not affect further claims for damages that Buddyfit may eventually make against the User.

13. Duration, termination and cancellation

The User has the right to cancel his User profile at any time, without having to provide a reason, thus terminating your contract of use at the same time. To do this, simply select the right settings on your profile. Please note that once you delete your User profile, we will delete or may delete all content and training results you have added, and you will no longer be able to access the content you have already purchased. If at the time of deleting the profile there is a service not yet completed, the sums already paid will not be reimbursed, not even with a proportional formula.

We reserve the right to cancel a contract of use, without having to indicate any reasons, but not before the terms for using the purchased services have expired.

The right of cancellation for just cause remains valid for both parties. Ci riserviamo in particolare il diritto di cancellare il tuo contratto di utilizzo o Abbonamento con effetto immediato e di cancellare il profilo Utente in caso di violazione anche non grave o ripetuta delle clausole del contratto di utilizzo e/o dei Termini e Condizioni o in caso di ritardo nei pagamenti.

14. Personal data

Our company manages the User's personal data in compliance with our privacy policies; the updated version is available on the platform. These privacy protection rules regulate and explain, in particular, which personal data may be viewed by other Users and what options are available to you to control disclosure to other Users.

If the User does not connect the profile to a Trainer, the data will only be visible to the User and will not be shared with anyone except as necessary for the provision of the Services as better described in the Privacy Policy.

If the User connects the profile to a Trainer, the latter will be able to access some personal information including: name, surname, nationality, preferred language, gender, Username, email address, profile picture, date of birth, weight (with changes over time), height, training preferences, training plan, previous training, exercise and training statistics, type of subscription.

In the event of specific and express consent from the User, the Trainer may access the images uploaded by the User in order to be able to assess the User's progress and needs in relation to training.

14.1 Services that involve the transfer of data

Buddyfit relies on various third party suppliers to provide its services.

Buddyfit uses Apple's HealthKit tool (Apple Inc., 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014, USA), which is the Apple Device Health App, which provides a central repository for health and fitness data on iPhone and Apple Watch and, with the explicit consent of the User, allows apps to communicate with HealthKit to access and share such data.
Depending on your settings, data may be transferred from Buddyfit to HealthKit and vice versa.
The data are processed in any case in the manner and for the purposes described in this statement.
Buddyfit and its statistical service providers may analyse engagement data for research purposes, in order to offer a personalised experience and to motivate engagement in healthy habits.
You can choose whether to activate the data exchange between Buddyfit and HealthKit by accepting when requested or by selecting your preferences in the Buddyfit settings. You can also choose to enable sharing of some data and not others.
You can prevent Buddyfit from accessing your data at any time by changing the settings on your mobile device.

We may also use similar functions for other devices including Android.

15. Consent to data processing

By concluding the contract for Buddyfit, the User accepts that immediately and as long as he does not make any changes to the privacy settings, Buddyfit will manage the data as described in these Terms and Conditions and in the Privacy policy.

16. Online Dispute Resolution

Furthermore, Buddyfit informs the User if they assume the role of consumer that a European platform for online resolution of consumer disputes has been established (known as the ODR platform), as laid down in article 3, paragraph 1, lett. a) of the Consumer Code. The ODR platform can be consulted at the following address https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/
through the ODR platform, the consumer User will be able to consult the list of ADR bodies, find the link to the website of each of them and start an online resolution procedure of the dispute in which he is involved.

We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration office. Our email address is listed in these Terms and Conditions.

12. Changes to the Terms and Conditions

We reserve the right to modify and adapt these Terms and Conditions with effect for the future; such changes will in any case be made in good faith in respect of your interests. We will inform the User of the changes by email (to the address provided during registration) no later than two weeks before the expected entry into force of the new Terms and Conditions. In the absence of opposition to the validity of the new Terms and Conditions within this period and by continuing to use Buddyfit, the new Terms and Conditions will be considered as accepted. In case of non-acceptance, we expressly reserve the right to terminate the contract.

18.1 Applicable law, language and jurisdiction

The relationship between the parties is governed by Italian law with the exclusion of the UN Convention on International Sales Contracts (CISG). As regards commercial transactions with customers within the European Union, the law of the consumer's country of sale can also be applied only if it contains provisions on the rules for consumers that are mandatory to apply.

The language of the Contract is Italian.

Unless otherwise provided by law (including the provisions relating to the jurisdiction of the consumer's court), the Court of Genoa is competent in the event of a dispute.

19. Safeguard Clause

If any of the clauses of the Terms and Conditions are or become completely or partially invalid, this will not affect the remaining clauses.
