Before booking a Sport and Wellbeing Session, Customers should read the rules and/or the general terms and conditions for the Venue in question.
In the event of any discrepancy between the General Terms and Conditions and any special terms and conditions in place, the special terms and conditions shall take precedence.
In view of potential changes to the Services, Gymlib reserves the right to adapt, review or modify the Gymlib Terms and Conditions partially or in full at any time and without prior notification. The new Gymlib Terms and Conditions will come into effect once notification has been sent to Customers and published on the Gymlib Tools, unless a later start date is explicitly stated. They will automatically apply to all visits to the Gymlib Tools and all orders placed after the modification. Any valid Sport and Wellbeing Sessions will be subject to the Gymlib Terms and Conditions applicable at the time of purchase. We recommend checking this page regularly in order to keep up-to-date with any future modifications.
The latest version of the Gymlib Terms and Conditions is available at all times at https://legals.gymlib.com/terms.
In the event that they wish to reject these changes, Visitors must stop using the Gymlib Tools and Customers and Users must close their Accounts, without making any claim for compensation.
Article 1 – Purpose of the Services
These Terms and Conditions of Sale set out the rights and obligations of Gymlib and its Customers when using the Services offered by Gymlib.
The Services provided by Gymlib via the Gymlib Tools consist of the Gymlib Subscription and the social features for boosting team dynamics (henceforth the ‘Social Hub’).
The Gymlib Subscription allows Customers to access the Venues by booking Sport and Wellbeing Sessions as part of a no-strings subscription.
Customers can visit the Venues at any time during the period of validity of a Sport and Wellbeing Session unless they have booked the Sport and Wellbeing Session for a specific time.
Sport and Wellbeing Sessions are valid for one (1) month.
Some Venues offer Customers Sport and Wellbeing Sessions must be booked in advance. Presentation and validation of a Sport and Wellbeing Session via GPS is compulsory upon every visit to a Venue. When they enter the Venue, Customers are invited to show that they have booked their Sport and Wellbeing Session via the Gymlib Tools and to validate their session.
Sport and Wellbeing Sessions may only be used by the Customer holding the Account used to book the sessions, and an ID document confirming their identity may be requested upon arrival at the Venue.
Sport and Wellbeing Sessions have no monetary or other value beyond the Gymlib Tools and the Venues, and may not be exchanged for money or transferred to any other person.
Regardless of the Venue, Customers experiencing access issues must contact Gymlib Customer Services and wait for their response.
If the Customer decides to redeem a Sport and Wellbeing Session before receiving a response from Gymlib Customer Services and opts to pay to access the Venue out of their own pocket, no refund will be payable by Gymlib.
Article 2 – Characteristics of the Gymlib Formula
The purpose of the Gymlib Formula is for Gymlib to provide a Service for employees of companies which have joined the Gymlib programme by signing a service agreement with Gymlib (henceforth, the ‘Customer Companies’).
Employees of the Customer Companies which subscribe to the Gymlib Formula are Customers.
Article 2.1 Subscription formula
Gymlib Subscriptions are reserved for people:
- who are aged eighteen (18) and over or who have reached the legal age of majority in their country of residence or who have obtained the consent of their legal representative (parent or guardian) if they are minors; and
- employees of a Customer Company, with the exception of referrals as described in Article 2.4 in this section.
Customers must choose from several different formulas, each of which offers a different number of Pulses per month.
Every Sport and Wellbeing Session offered by the Venues is priced in Pulses. Customers can freely access Sport and Wellbeing Sessions depending on the number of Pulses they have.
Customers accept and acknowledge that the number of Pulses required to access the Sport and Wellbeing Sessions can change over time on the sole initiative of Gymlib and without prior warning.
Customers can book as many Sport and Wellbeing Sessions as they wish within the limits of the number of Pulses they have when booking the Sport and Wellbeing Session.
Article 2.2 Use and carryover of Pulses
Customers who do not use all their Pulses can carry them over from one month to the next within the limit of the number of Pulses corresponding to their chosen formula.
Article 2.3 Subscription prices and payment methods
Customer Companies will inform their employees of the Gymlib Subscription prices. Prices are in euros and are inclusive of tax.
Customers accept and acknowledge that the Subscription price may be modified on the basis of commercial negotiations between Gymlib and the Customer Companies.
Gymlib will inform Customers of any changes to their Subscription price by email at least fifteen (15) calendar days before the change takes effect; these changes will not apply to Subscriptions or other services for the current month.
Customers are informed that the Subscription price is payable until the effective cancellation date, even if the Customer does not use the Subscription, sign into the Gymlib Tools, book Sport and Wellbeing Sessions or participate in those sessions.
In addition to the provisions of Article 5 of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, Customers authorise Gymlib to collect the Subscription price, as well as any other fees related to the use of the Gymlib Tools (e.g. cancellation fees or late cancellation penalties as stipulated in Article 2.7 in this section).
Subscription payments will be collected by Gymlib within a maximum of seven (7) days. Once the payment has been confirmed and authorised, the subscription is accepted and a confirmation email will be sent to the Customer.
When taking out a Subscription, Customers will be immediately invoiced for the first subscription cycle.
Unless otherwise stated by Gymlib, Subscriptions will be automatically renewed every month and Customers will be invoiced on the same date each month (the date of subscription). If this date does not exist for a particular month, the Subscription will renew automatically on the day after the expiry date of the current subscription cycle[1].
Article 2.4 Referrals
Gymlib may offer its Customers the possibility of referring colleagues, and, in some cases, Friends.
The terms and conditions for the referral scheme may be consulted here.
Referred colleagues and Friends will pay the prices negotiated by the referring Customer’s Company.
The Subscriptions of referred Friends are only valid if the Customer’s Account is active.
In the event that the referring Customer cancels their Subscription for any reason, their Friends’ Subscriptions will be automatically cancelled and any Sport and Wellbeing Sessions which have been booked but not used will be automatically deleted.
Depending on the commercial negotiations and the contract linking Gymlib and the Customer Companies, Gymlib reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions for referral, as well as to cancel any Subscriptions belonging to referred Friends.
Gymlib reserves the right to cancel any Subscription belonging to a customer who is not directly linked to the Customer Companies (Friends and/or beneficiaries who do not possess a professional email address supplied by a Customer Company (unless otherwise stipulated)).
Gymlib will notify referred Friends of the cancellation of their Subscriptions by email. Cancellation of the Subscription will automatically lead to cancellation of all Sport and Wellbeing Sessions which have been booked but not yet used.
Article 2.5 Subscription duration
Subscriptions to the Gymlib Formula are taken out on a no-strings basis for a period of one (1) month and are renewed by tacit agreement for successive monthly periods unless the Customer receives express indications to the contrary when taking out the Subscription.
Customers are entitled to pause their Subscriptions.
This feature is available via the Gymlib Application.
Customers may be charged a renewal fee in the event that they pause and/or reactivate their Subscription. These fees will be indicated on the Gymlib Application and/or the Platform during the process for pausing and/or reactivating the Account.
Article 2.6 Cancellation of the Subscription by one of the Parties
Customers can request the closure of their Account or cancellation of their Subscription directly via the Gymlib Application.
Any Account closure will come into effect on the monthly renewal date of the Customer’s Subscription [2].
This request will take effect within a maximum of thirty (30) business days of receipt of the request to close the Account in question by Gymlib.
Besides abnormal use of the Subscription (see Article 4.2.3 of the TCU), Gymlib may cancel the Customer’s Subscription for the following reasons:
- In the event that Customer leaves the Customer Company, for whatever reason;
- In the event that contractual relations between the Customer Company and Gymlib are terminated.
Gymlib will make every effort to inform Customers of the cancellation of their Subscription for one of the aforementioned reasons by email.
Cancellation of the Customer’s Subscription will automatically lead to cancellation of all Sport and Wellbeing Sessions which have been booked but not yet used.
Article 2.7 Penalties
Some Sport and Wellbeing Sessions offered by the Venues require prior booking. Customers and referred Friends are able to cancel their bookings within a period stipulated by each Venue. Customers and referred Friends undertake to cancel their booking within the deadline stated by the Venue if they are unable to attend the Sport and Wellbeing Session they have booked.
The following penalties will be applied:
- The number of Pulses corresponding to the booking and a penalty of five (5) euros will be charged for every booking which is neither honoured nor cancelled
- The number of Pulses corresponding to the booking will be charged for every booking which is not honoured and is cancelled after the stipulated deadline
- A penalty of five (5) euros will be charged in the event that the Customer forgets to validate a booked Session
These penalties may be invoiced separately from the Customer Subscription (for Customers and referred Friends) and charged to the bank card provided by the Customer or referred Friend for payment of the monthly Subscription.
Article 3 – CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS
Customers must comply with the rules set by the Venues they attend as part of the Service at all times, as well as with any special terms and conditions applicable to the Venue (appropriate clothing, up-to-date medical checks, conditions of use for equipment, opening times, etc.).
Sport and Wellbeing Sessions and bookings made on the Gymlib Tools are personal and cannot be transferred. An ID document may be requested by the Venue in order to check that the Customer who has booked the Sport and Wellbeing Session and the person attending the Venue are one and the same.
Presentation and validation of a Sport and Wellbeing Session via GPS is compulsory upon every visit to a Venue and Customers must agree to share their location with Gymlib. GPS data are only used to calculate the distance from the Venue in question and are never stored by Gymlib.
Customers are requested to show a valid Sport and Wellbeing Session, which may be accessed on the Gymlib Mobile Application, when they enter the Venue.
Article 4 – LIABILITY
As an intermediary, Gymlib shall not be held liable for any damages (theft, physical or material damage, etc.) suffered by the Customer on the premises of the Venues.
Gymlib shall not be held liable for indirect damages and loss of profit, loss of customers, loss of business, loss of data or any other intangible loss occurring as a result of the use of the internet, such as the presence of computer viruses or spyware (even if warning has been given of the possibility of such damage), and shall not be held liable for any malfunction, breakdown, delay or interruption in access to the Gymlib Tools or to the internet in general.
Gymlib shall not be held liable for any insulting or defamatory language or language which contravenes good manners and current legislation used in comments posted online on the Gymlib Tools or any other third party website by a Customer.
Gymlib offers a booking service linking Customers and Venues. When booking a Sport and Wellbeing Session and participating in that session, Customers will enter into a contract with the Venue, not with Gymlib.
Gymlib is not a recreational, leisure, health or sports facility or similar institution and does not own, exploit or control the Sport and Wellbeing Sessions offered by the Venues. Therefore, Gymlib cannot accept responsibility of any kind for the Sport and Wellbeing Sessions and/or the Venues, which remain solely liable for their classes, sessions, premises, teachers, materials, equipment, etc.
Gymlib makes every effort to describe the Services and Sessions offered via the Gymlib Tools accurately and realistically.
Customers understand and accept that the Gymlib Tools offer information on physical fitness and related topics for the sole purposes of information, education and entertainment.
None of the content published on the Gymlib Tools may be regarded as instructions, medical attention or professional advice.
Visitors must not rely on the information found on the Gymlib Tools, which is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or professional treatment. If Customers, Users or Visitors have questions concerning their health or physical fitness, they should consult a doctor or other medical professional.
The descriptions of the Sport and Wellbeing Sessions on each Venue page are provided to Gymlib by the Venues themselves, which are solely liable for them. The photos and pictures accompanying the descriptions of the Sport and Wellbeing Sessions are non-contractual and are for illustrative purposes only, and are in no case binding on Gymlib.
The information provided may change and be modified, and Visitors, Users and Customers expressly accept this.
If, in spite of Gymlib’s efforts, some Venues, and/or Sport and Wellbeing Sessions are withdrawn from the Services or are no longer available, Gymlib undertakes to make every effort to ensure that new Venues and/or Sport and Wellbeing Sessions are added in order to maintain the expected quality of the Services.
Customers are solely responsible for deciding whether the Sport and Wellbeing Sessions or recommendations provided on or via the Gymlib Tools are suitable for them and their state of health.
Customers acknowledge that certain risks and dangers are inherent to sporting activity. Customers are responsible for ensuring that their state of health is adequate before booking or participating in a Sport and Wellbeing Session. Customers enter the Venue and attend the Sport and Wellbeing Sessions of their choice at their own risk, accepting sole liability for any damages resulting from their participation.
Customers acknowledge and accept that they are responsible for consulting their doctor or another medical professional before using the Services or booking and participating in a Sport and Wellbeing Session. Customers must not book or participate in a Sport and Wellbeing Session if they have been discouraged from doing so by their doctor or another medical professional. Customers are required to immediately cease any sporting activity if they feel weak or dizzy, are in pain or have difficulty breathing at any point during the training session.
Article 5 – PAYMENT AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
The financial conditions for the Services provided via the Gymlib Tools are regularly updated.
To ensure that Customers’ bank details remain secure and confidential, Customers are requested to make all payments directly online via the secure payment system provided on the Gymlib Tools, using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) mode to allow the data to be encrypted.
No payment may be made via telephone, post or email.
Payments made by Customers will only be considered effective once authorisation has been received from the bank payment centres. In the event that such authorisation is denied, the order corresponding to the payment attempt will be automatically cancelled and the Customer will be notified by email.
All payment receipts are available in the ‘My Account’ section.
Gymlib stores an electronic copy of each receipt.
Gymlib reserves the right to verify the information supplied by the Customer for any order. The Customer may receive a request by post or email to provide a copy of their ID card and/or proof of address and/or a bank document (printout of bank details or void cheque). Failure by the Customer to respond within five (5) days of the request from Gymlib will automatically lead to the cancellation of the order with no possibility of complaint.
Finally, Gymlib reserves the right to reject any payment in which one or more risk factors for the fraudulent use of a bank card are present.
Article 6 – SANCTIONS FOR BREACHES OF THE GYMLIB TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In the event of a suspected or proven breach of all or part of the Gymlib Terms and Conditions and of any other document produced by Gymlib (FAQ, etc.), especially with regard to the use of the Services, Account, Sport and Wellbeing Sessions and/or the Gymlib Tools in an illegal or abusive manner by the Customer, Gymlib reserves the right to apply sanctions to the Customer in question at its sole discretion.
The sanctions imposed will depend on the seriousness of the breach. Sanctions include but are not limited to the following actions, which may be imposed in no specific order:
(i) Warnings: Warnings have no direct consequences for the Account. The Customer may continue to use the Service with no change. Warnings serve to inform the Customer that they are at risk of stiffer sanctions if they continue to breach the Gymlib Terms and Conditions;
(ii) Three-day (3) account suspension: A three-day (3) account suspension is generally used for the first significant breach of the Gymlib Terms and Conditions;
(iii) Permanent account suspension: The account will be closed permanently and the Customer will no longer be able to access it. This sanction is generally applied in the case of repeated breaches or severe, unacceptable breaches of the Gymlib Terms and Conditions, including, but not limited to, lending or transferring the Account to a third party, failing to pay for Services or Sport and Wellbeing Sessions, supplying false information (surname, first name, etc.) and failing to comply with the terms of use of the Venues.
Besides the sanctions listed here, Gymlib reserves the right to impose any sanctions necessary, as well as to initiate civil and criminal proceedings against any Customer who is in breach of the Terms and Conditions.
Unless otherwise stated in the Gymlib Terms and Conditions or exceptionally authorised by Gymlib, no reimbursement will be due if the Account is closed and the Customer will not be able to open another Account.
Article 7 – RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
In accordance with the provisions of Article L.221-18 of the Consumer Code, Customers have a right of withdrawal which may be freely exercised during a period of fourteen (14) clear days following subscription to the Gymlib Formula (the ‘Right of Withdrawal’) in accordance with the following terms and conditions.
The withdrawal period begins at midnight on the day after the contract has been signed and expires at midnight on the fourteenth day after the contract has been signed. If this period expires on a Saturday, Sunday, public holiday or non-working day, it is extended to the next working day.
Customers may exercise the Right of Withdrawal (i) by filling in the standard form (Standard Withdrawal Form) or by making any other unambiguous statement expressing their desire to withdraw and (ii) by sending a registered letter to Gymlib with acknowledgement of receipt or an email to the following address: legal@gymlib.com
In the event that notification of withdrawal is sent via email, a receipt will immediately be sent by Gymlib to the Customer on a durable medium.
The right of withdrawal is only valid if the Customer has not booked any Sport and Wellbeing Sessions providing access to a Venue.
Article 8 – MISCELLANEOUS
The obligations of the affected Party shall be suspended in the event of force majeure, including an act or omission by the government or the competent authorities, blocking or malfunction of the internet or telecommunications networks, insurrections, civil war, war, military operations, national or local state of emergency, fire, lightning, explosion, internal and external strike, flood, storm, and the acts of a third party.
If any provision of the Gymlib Terms and Conditions is to be declared void or unenforceable pursuant to any law, regulation or final ruling from a competent court, it shall be amended in order to render it valid or shall be deemed unwritten but shall not invalidate or result in the lapse of the other provisions of the Gymlib Terms and Conditions, which shall remain in full force and effect.
Should one of the parties fail to exercise their rights under any of the provisions in the Gymlib Terms and Conditions, this does not affect their right to exercise these rights at a later date, at any time, and does not constitute a waiver of the provision itself.
By express dispensation from the provisions of Article 1222 of the Civil Code, in the event of failure by either Party to fulfil their obligations, the non-defaulting party may not seek to fulfil the obligation via a third party at the defaulting party's expense.
Article 9 – APPLICABLE LAW – MEDIATION – COMPETENT COURTS
The Gymlib Terms and Conditions are governed by French law.
In the event of a complaint which is not resolved amicably by the Parties, and in accordance with Article L. 612-1 of the Consumer Code, Customers may use the mediation service to which Gymlib subscribes free of charge, by emailing legal@gymlib.com. The mediation service may be consulted for any consumer dispute which has not been satisfactorily resolved.
Customers may also contact the dispute resolution platform provided by the European Commission at the following address: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.
In the absence of an amicable resolution, any dispute relating to the interpretation of the Gymlib Terms and Conditions, the execution or breach of a sale, or the interpretation, execution or termination of these Terms and Conditions shall be submitted to the competent courts.
[1] For example, if the subscription was initially taken out on 31 January, the next automatic renewal date will be 1 March and payment will be collected from the Customer’s chosen payment method on that date (or as soon as possible thereafter).
[2] For example, a Customer who subscribes on 22 February 2021 and asks to cancel their subscription on 15 May 2022 will have their account closed on 22 May 2022.
