These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a contract between you and BEND MOVEMENT LIMITED (“BEND” or “we”) and govern your access to and use of any BEND website, mobile application (such as for iPhone or Android) or content (the “Site”) or any fitness, recreational, wellness, or other activities, experiences, activities, classes, events, services, recordings, and/or products made available through BEND (collectively, “Activities”). Please read these Terms carefully before accessing and using the Activities.
The most current version of these Terms can be accessed at any time at https://www.bend-movement.com/legal. Changes to these Terms will be notified via posting on the Site (or other written notice to you). Please read these Terms carefully before accessing and/or using the Site and/or Activities.
ㅤ
a) Acceptance of Terms. By accessing and/or using the Site and/or Activities, or clicking any button to indicate your consent, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms, just as if you had agreed to these Terms in writing. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site or any Activities.
b) Amendment of Terms. BEND may amend the Terms from time to time. Unless we provide a delayed effective date, all amendments will be effective upon posting of such updated Terms. Your continued access to or use of the Site or Activities after such posting constitutes your consent to be bound by the Terms, as amended.
c) Additional Terms. In addition to these Terms, certain plans, offers, products, services, elements or features may also be subject to additional terms, conditions guidelines or rules which may be posted, communicated or modified by us or applicable third parties at any time. Your use of any such plan, offer, product, service, element or feature is subject to those additional terms and conditions, which are hereby incorporated by reference into the Terms, provided that in the event of any conflict between such additional terms and the Terms, the Terms shall control. The BEND Privacy Policy can be accessed at https://www.bend-movement.com/legal
ㅤ
a) BEND Platform. The BEND platform enables consumers to reserve, schedule, purchase, access and attend a wide range of fitness, recreational and wellness Activities offered and operated by sport clubs, fitness studios, gyms, trainers, venues or other third parties (collectively, “Clubs”). BEND itself is not a gymnasium, place of amusement or recreation, health club, facility, fitness studio or similar establishment and does not own, operate or control any of the Activities that are offered at or through such facilities.
b) Membership Options. There are a number of ways to participate in BEND, such as various membership plans, promotional plans, and non-membership purchases. These options consist of different activities, services and features and may be subject to additional and differing conditions, prices, policies and limitations. We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our offered options and plans at any time at our discretion. From time to time we may permit non-subscribers to access certain activities, services, content or features for a cost or at no cost. BEND makes no commitment on the quantity, availability, type or frequency at which such activities, services, content and features will be available to non-subscribers and may modify, discontinue, remove or suspend access at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion.
c) Membership Plans. To enjoy full access to the Site and Activities, you need to sign up for a membership. A membership starts on the date that you sign up for a membership and submit payment via a valid Payment Method (defined below). Unless we otherwise communicate a different time period to you at the time of sign up or otherwise (such as a multi-month commitment plan), each billing cycle is one month in length (a “Membership Cycle”). Your BEND membership automatically renews each month, and we will automatically bill the monthly membership fee to your Payment Method each month, until your membership is cancelled or terminated. For example, if you purchase your BEND membership on April 5, your membership will automatically renew on May 5 (as further explained in “Membership Cycles,” below). You must provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (“Payment Method”). We may update the accepted methods from time to time. If you add a membership or if you upgrade or downgrade to a different membership, all such membership will be governed by these Terms and will continue indefinitely until cancelled or terminated.
d) Use of Credits. Depending on the membership plan you choose and purchase, you will be allotted credits to be used solely to book Activities each Membership Cycle. You can choose how you use your credits across the various Activities available to you. Credits expire at the end of each Membership Cycle, meaning that any credits you don’t use during the applicable Membership Cycle will not roll over into future months, unless we expressly communicate otherwise. If your membership is cancelled or terminated your unused credits will expire at the end of the Membership Cycle. There will be no refund or payment for any unused amount. When your cycle automatically renews for the next month, you’ll automatically receive your new allotment of credits. If you have any questions about how to use your credits, please contact us at hello@bend-movement.com and we can help you. Credits have no cash value or any other value outside of the BEND platform and are not redeemable for cash. For avoidance of doubt, the credits do not operate or serve as stored value facilities in any way. You may not transfer, trade, gift or otherwise exchange BEND credits.
e) Activity Availability and Allocation. The exact number and type of Activities you take during any Membership Cycle will depend on the number of credits needed to book the particular Activities you select. The number of credits needed to book a particular Activity will vary and is determined based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to Club requirements, time of day, equipment, facilities, location, pricing, popularity and other characteristics. For example, an Activity that uses equipment is likely to require more credits to book than an activity without the use of any equipment. BEND does not guarantee the availability of particular Clubs, locations, Activities, services, experiences, content, inventory, spots or other features, and availability may change over time and at any time (including during the course of any given Subscription Cycle). The type, quantity, credits, allocation and availability of Clubs, activities, and other inventory offered, are determined by BEND in its sole discretion.
f) Digital Activities. BEND may allow you to access a variety of audio or video digital Activities from your computer or mobile device, via live stream and/or on demand. To access these digital Activities, you need to comply with certain technical and hardware requirements.
g) Non-Membership Purchases. BEND may permit you to purchase certain products or Activities through the Site, in addition to your subscription or without having a membership. You acknowledge and agree that these Terms apply to any such purchase you make, and you will be responsible to pay the applicable fees, which may change at any time.
h) Use of BEND. Access to our Activities requires you to sign up and use the BEND platform, either through our website or mobile application. Your BEND account is personal to you and you agree not to create more than one account. You cannot transfer or gift Activities or credits to third parties or allow third parties to use your BEND account, including other BEND users. You must not use or exploit the Site and/or Activities for commercial purposes. To use your BEND membership you must have access to the Internet. We continually update and test various aspects of the BEND platform. We reserve the right to, and by using our Site and/or Activities you agree that we may, include you in or exclude you from these tests without notice. You understand and agree that BEND may take actions we deem reasonably necessary to prevent fraud and abuse. You agree that the information you provide to BEND at sign up and at all other times will be true, accurate, current, and complete and that you will keep this information accurate and up-to-date at all times. When you sign up, you will be asked to create a password. You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, including any activity by unauthorised users. You may be required to download a BEND mobile application to use some or all of BEND features. You are solely responsible for providing your own access (e.g., computer, mobile device, Internet connection, etc.) to the Site and Activities.
i) Eligibility Criteria. The availability of all or part of our Site and/or Activities may be limited based on demographic, age, or other criteria as we may establish from time to time. You understand and agree we may disallow you from subscribing to BEND or may terminate your subscription at any time based on these criteria. For example, you must be 18 years of age or older to use this Site and/or Activities and/or to purchase a BEND membership. You further understand that the Site and/or Activities may not be available in every geography. ACCESS TO OUR SITE IS NOT PERMITTED FROM OTHER JURISDICTIONS. THESE TERMS ARE ONLY APPLICABLE TO USERS IN THE UK. THE SITE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO ANY USERS SUSPENDED OR REMOVED FROM THE SITE BY BEND. BY USING THE SITE, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE A USER IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD AND HAVE NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY SUSPENDED OR REMOVED. THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO ACCESS THE SITE DO SO AT THEIR OWN INITIATIVE AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LOCAL RULES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, RULES ABOUT THE INTERNET, DATA, EMAIL OR OTHER ELECTRONIC MESSAGES, OR PRIVACY.
j) Clubs providing Activities through BEND are independent contractors responsible for their own insurance and are not employees of BEND.
k) Subscribing Organisations. If you are using or opening an account on behalf of a company, entity, or organisation (a “Member Organisation”), then you represent and warrant that you are an authorised representative of that Member Organization with the authority to bind such organisation to these Terms; and agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of such Member Organization.

BEND is run by and for members of the LGBTQ+ community. We do not require participants to disclose details about their gender or sexual orientation. However, we ask all participants to be mindful of the specific inclusion criteria of each group before joining.
We reserve the right to suspend or revoke membership if a participant repeatedly breaches our code of conduct, which requires all members to respect our inclusion policy and to use appropriate language and behaviour regarding gender, sexuality, and identity.
ㅤ
a) Recurring Billing. By initiating your BEND membership, you authorise us to charge you for your initial subscription period and a recurring monthly subscription fee at the then current rate. Increases in the current rate will be notified to you by e-mail or other notice. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary for reasons that may include differing amounts due to promotional offers and/or changing or adding a plan, and you authorise us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts, which may be billed monthly in one or more charges. You also authorise us to charge you any other fees you may incur in connection with your use of the Site, such as any applicable sign-up fee, taxes or cancellation or late fees, as further explained below. Note that even if you do not use the membership or access the Site and/or Activities, you will be responsible for membership fees until you cancel your subscription, or it is otherwise terminated.
b) Membership Cycle. When you sign up and purchase your BEND membership, your first Membership Cycle will be billed immediately. Unless we expressly communicate otherwise, your membership will automatically renew each month and you will be billed on the same date each month (being the date on which you signed up), provided that, where such date does not exist in particular renewal month, your subscription will be deemed to auto-renew on the last day of that month. For example, if you signed up on March 31st, your next auto-renew date will be April 30th, and payment will be taken using your Payment Method on (or as soon as practically possible) after that date. All membership auto-renews will continue to take place on the new auto-renew date (i.e., in this example, the 1st of each month). Payment will be taken on the effective date of your auto-renew (a “Renewal Date”), provided that, if we are unable for any reason to take payment on a Renewal Date, we will take payment as soon as practically possible thereafter.
c) Refunds. Our fees (including the monthly fee for your membership and any other fees) are nonrefundable, unless we specifically communicate otherwise at the time of purchase. However, we will provide a refund to subscribers for their current prepaid period in the following circumstances: (i) if you are cancelling as set forth in Section 3i below or (ii) if your subscription is cancelled prior to the end of a period for which you have incurred a charge, due to your disability or death; provided, however, in each case we reserve the right to charge a fee to cover the cost of any activity or other services or products you may have used or received prior to your cancellation and to ask for proof of such changed condition, to the extent permitted by law (such activity fee charges not to exceed the cost of the subscription itself). WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR MAKE GOODS FOR ANY PRIOR MONTHS INCLUDING FOR UNUSED CREDITS OR ACTIVITIES.
d) Price Changes. We reserve the right to adjust pricing at any time. Unless we expressly communicate otherwise, any price changes to your subscription will take effect on your next billing cycle upon notice communicated via email or other means as we may deem appropriate such as Website or mobile app. If you do not cancel your subscription, you will be deemed to have accepted these new fees.
e) Payment Methods. You may edit your Payment Method information by logging onto our mobile app and editing it in your account settings. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds or otherwise, you nonetheless will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorise us to continue billing the Payment Method or any other payment method you have provided, as it may be updated, including in the event you attempt to create a new account, reactivate the unsettled account or sign up for a new account. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. If we cannot charge your account, we reserve the right, but are not obligated, to terminate your access to our Site or any portion thereof.
f) Cancellation. Unless otherwise communicated, and in addition to your right to cancel within 14 days of the initial purchase (as outlined below), you may terminate your subscription at any time before its renewal by navigating to Memberships in the Profile settings of the BEND mobile app. Unless we communicate otherwise, following any cancellation you will continue to have access to your subscription through the end of your current prepaid Membership Cycle, unless you cancel and receive a refund, in which case your access will be terminated immediately. Note that if you do terminate your subscription, we reserve the right to charge a reactivation fee if you want to return to BEND in future months or to restrict your access in future months.
g) Other Fees. A minimum of 4 hours' cancellation notice is required for a full refund of class fees in credits. If you cancel less than 4 hours before the class start time, the full class fee will be charged. You are responsible for paying applicable fees if you do not cancel an Activity you had reserved with appropriate notice or do not attend your scheduled Activity. We reserve the right to change the policy regarding when we charge fees, to introduce additional fees and to change the amount of any such fees at any time. You will be notified of such changes via email or other means as we may deem appropriate such as Website or mobile app.
h) Reservation and Cancellation of Activities. Clubs reserve the right to cancel a class with late notice (up to 2 hours before the class start time). In such cases, you will be refunded in full with credits. Class packs expire according to the terms listed at the time of purchase.
i) RIGHT TO CANCEL WITHIN 14 DAY OF INITIAL PURCHASE. You have the right to cancel your membership contract within 14 days of your initial sign-up without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us either at your option, by contacting us at hello@bend-movement.com of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired. If you cancel this contract within the 14-day cancellation period, we will reimburse you all payments received from you minus any credits used. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. If you requested to begin the performance of services during the cancellation period, you shall pay us an amount that is in proportion to what has been performed until you have communicated to us your cancellation from this contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
j) Fees Charged by Clubs. In addition to fees we charge, Clubs may also charge equipment or other amenity fees that you will be responsible for directly. For example, some Clubs might charge extra to rent a yoga mat or cycling shoes. Further, BEND only gives you access to the activities for which you signed up on the Site (and at the specified time and location). The Club may have additional fees for use of additional activities or spaces.
k) Third Party Fees for Using BEND. You are also responsible for all third-party charges and fees associated with connecting to and using the Site and/or Activities, including fees such as internet service provider fees, telephone and computer equipment charges, sales tax and any other fees necessary to access the Site and/or Activities
