7 – Third Party Providers; Classes
The Site and Services primarily provide users with access to Classes provided by third-party Providers. Such Classes are designed and provided by the Providers offering such Classes. Providers are not employees or agents of FITT Finder. FITT Finder may provide various tools and services to allow Providers to make available their independently developed Classes via the Site and Services as well as to allow Providers to interact with participants, including collecting fees from participants via the Site and Services, however FITT Finder is not responsible for the actions or inactions of any such Providers. Members and other participants in Classes are responsible for any and all charges and fees associated with Classes, including fees charged by the applicable Provider. No FITT Finder Entity shall be responsible for any such fees or charges owing to third parties, including to Providers. Notwithstanding the description of FITT Finder’s relationship with Providers described in this Agreement, FITT Finder reserves the right to change such relationship and/or to have different relationships with different Providers as FITT Finder may determine in its sole discretion, all without giving notice to anyone.
We do not direct or control the day to day activities of the Providers and we thus disclaim any and all responsibility and liability for the actions and activities of Providers and the content and services provided by them via the Site and the Services, including any interactions or communications they may have with users of the Site or Services. Under no circumstances will the FITT Finder Entities be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on any Class or related communications, information or materials provided by Providers, or for your interactions with Providers or participation in any Class. The opinions expressed by Providers reflect solely the opinions of the individuals who submit or express such opinions, and may not reflect the opinions of FITT Finder. Further, when you interact directly with a Provider or other users, you must be careful about the types of personal information that you share. We do not control what Providers or other users do with the information they obtain from other users on the Site or Services.
We reserve the right to deny, cancel and/or withdraw any Class or Provider for any reason in our sole discretion. FITT Finder shall not have and hereby disclaims any liability for rejecting, canceling, or withdrawing any Class or Provider. Each Provider must procure at its sole risk, cost and expense any and all equipment and materials and all information, data, works of authorship or other materials delivered in text, photographic, audio, visual or audiovisual format (“Class Content”) that is reasonably required for such Provider to offer his or her Classes. Without limiting the foregoing, each Provider must provide all software and hardware that is not otherwise made available via the Site and Services and FITT Finder makes no representation or warranty as to what functionalities may be available to support Provider and Classes on the Service. Each Provider also understands that Provider may be required to register for, purchase and use third party services, products and technology in order to offer Classes on the Site and Service, all at Provider’s own risk and expense. Provider understands that additional terms, conditions and fees may apply to Provider’s use of such third party services and Provider shall be solely responsible for compliance with all third party requirements. To the extent applicable, Provider will be responsible for providing all Class Content in a format that can be hosted and streamed via the Site and Services in accordance with the technical specifications provided to Provider by FITT Finder from time to time. Providers acknowledge that FITT Finder may charge fees to, or obtain other benefits, remuneration, or compensation from, other users of the Site and Services, including Clients and Members, for access to the Platform and Classes made available through the Platform, in FITT Finder’s sole and absolute discretion, and in no event shall FITT Finder have any obligation to share any such fees, benefits, remuneration, or compensation with any Provider with respect to any Class available via the Platform unless otherwise agreed by FITT Finder with such Provider in writing.

16 – Paid Services; Fees; Payments
General. If you purchase any of our Services that are provided for a fee (“Paid Services”), you agree to pay us the applicable fees and taxes as stated within the Site and/or Services or pursuant to any Additional Terms at the time of purchase. Failure to pay these fees may result in the termination of your access or subscription to the Paid Services. Your purchase may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g. exchange rates). You must pay us for applicable fees and taxes unless you cancel the Paid Service, in which case you agree to still pay these fees through the end of any applicable subscription period. This Agreement describes additional terms applicable to certain types of fees and payments, but nothing herein shall restrict FITT Finder from charging or using other types of fees and payment methods.
Subscription Services. FITT Finder may make certain Services available on a “subscription” basis from time to time. When you register and provide your payment information for a portion of the Services that is provided as a “subscription”, you obtain the right to use and access the specific Services comprising that subscription for a specific limited period of time, i.e., the subscription period as specified in the application or registration form or otherwise within the Site and/or Services or Additional Terms in consideration for your payment of the applicable subscription fee for such period. You also agree that at the end of each current subscription period, your subscription may be automatically renewed for an additional subscription period at the then-current subscription rates (which may be increased from period to period) unless you cancel your subscription prior to the renewal date. If you cancel a subscription prior to the end of its then-current subscription period, your subscription will be cancelled effective as of the end of the applicable subscription period and you may be obligated to pay the applicable subscription fees through the end of the applicable subscription period.
Free Trial Periods. When you register for a portion of the Services that is made available for a “free trial period”, you obtain the right to use and access the specific Services comprising that “free trial” for a specific limited period of time, i.e., the trial period as specified in the application or registration form or otherwise within the Site and/or Services. While there is no charge for the applicable Services during the applicable free trial period, you may be asked to provide your payment information (e.g., credit card) at the time you register for the free trial and, by so doing, you are deemed to agree to purchase a full, paid subscription for the applicable Service unless you cancel such purchase prior to the end of such free trial period.
Credit/Debit Card and other Payment Transactions. FITT Finder reserves the right to accept or discontinue acceptance of any payment method for any Paid Service or other fee or charge from time to time without notice. FITT Finder may accept a given payment method from some users but not others, depending on credit risk or other factors. If you wish to purchase any Paid Service (whether via the Site or Services or via telephone, mail-order, telemarketing efforts, customer service representatives, account representatives or other sales channels) (each such purchase, a “Transaction”), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your Transaction, including without limitation your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit/debit card, bank account information (for electronic check or ACH payments), your billing address, your shipping information and/or your email address. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD(S) UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION. By submitting such information, you grant to FITT Finder the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of Transactions initiated by you or on your behalf.

25 – Copyright Infringement Claims
[Note: The DMCA makes a safe harbor available from copyright claims related to content posted by third parties on your site provided the site designates a “Copyright Agent” with the US Copyright office. This can be a third party or can be someone at FITT Finder – we noted that you listed FITT Finder in your existing draft TOS – have you already registered? If not, instructions for doing that can be found here: https://www.copyright.gov/dmca-directory/help.html. It costs $6 to register and you must re-register every 3 years.]
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials available on the Site or in connection with the Services infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send FITT Finder a written notice by mail, email or fax, requesting that FITT Finder remove the material or block access to it. If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send FITT Finder a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. Notices and counter-notices should be sent to [FITT Finder’s DMCA Agent: by mail to FITT Finder, Inc., E. Stassney Ln., Austin, TX 78745, Attn: Copyright Agent; or by email to info@fittfinder.com].
We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before submitting a notice or counter-notice.
