2.5 Separate Sponsor: If another individual (a “Sponsor”) purchased your Membership on your behalf and agreed to have their Payment Information retained on-file with Fithub, you, not Sponsor, are ultimately liable for all Membership Fees and Ancillary Charges payable hereunder and you agree to make all payments hereunder in the event Sponsor fails to do so. These Terms do not provide Sponsor with any rights of Membership and Sponsor may not access and use Clubs under your Membership.

Fithub may charge you a $20 fee for each credit card charge or check that is dishonored or rejected as invalid. Please note that cancellation of your Membership will not relieve you of your obligation to pay any past-due or outstanding amounts.
3. CANCELLATION RIGHTS
3.1 CONSUMERS RIGHT TO CANCELLATION: YOU MAY CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT ANY PENALTY OR FURTHER OBLIGATION BY CAUSING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR CANCELLATION TO BE IN PERSON OR POSTMARKED BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED UNITED STATES MAIL, EACH OF THE PRECEDING WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE. To exercise this cancellation right, you must notify Fithub in accordance with Section 3.4 below. Notice must be accompanied by a copy of the Membership Contracts, as well as any membership cards or fobs or other membership documentation given to you by Fithub. Within fifteen (15) business days after Fithub receives notice of such cancellation, it will refund all amounts previously paid under these Terms to the original method of payment.
3.2 ADDITIONAL RIGHTS TO CANCELLATION: You or your estate may also cancel these Terms for any of the following reasons:
(1) If upon a doctor’s order, you cannot physically or medically receive the services because of a significant physical or medical disability for a period in excess of three (3) months;
(2) In case of your death;
(3) If the health club services to be provided under these Terms are not available because Fithub fails to open your chosen Fithub Club, permanently discontinues operation of your chosen Fithub Club, or substantially changes the operation of your chosen Fithub Club.
(4) If you move your residence or your place of employment more than twenty-five 25 miles from any Club operated by Fithub or a substantially similar health club which will accept your obligation under these Terms.

You must provide notice of cancellation in accordance with Section 3.4. Fithub reserves the right, in its discretion, to require you to pre-pay all Membership Fees through the date your cancellation goes into effect. Please note you will not receive a refund of any Ancillary Charges, including without limitation for any sessions which remain unused at the time your cancellation goes into effect.

In some cases, notice of revocation or suspension may be provided orally by a Club General Manager, Membership Administration or Fithub Regional or Corporate management. If Fithub revokes your Membership, it will promptly refund, using the Payment Information on-file with Fithub, any prepaid unused Membership Fees and any prepaid unused Ancillary Charges, less any outstanding amounts which may be owed to Fithub hereunder.

7. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
7.1 Informal Dispute Resolution: Our goal is to do our best to ensure that every experience you have with Fithub exceeds your expectations. If that doesn’t happen, we hope you will give us the opportunity to try to address any problem or concern. To do so, please contact Fithub at admin@fithubla.com. When contacting us, we ask that you include your name, address, phone number and email address, a description of your problem or concern and any specific relief you seek.
7.2 Arbitration: You agree to submit any and all Disputes (as defined in Section 7.4) to binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), which will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement (“Arbitration Agreement”). Arbitration will be before either (1) JAMS (formerly known as Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services), http://www.jamsadr.com, or (2) the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), http://www.adr.org. If you initiate arbitration, you may choose between these two arbitration forums; if Fithub initiates arbitration, it will have the choice as between these two arbitration forums.
YOU AND FITHUB AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 7.4, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES WHICH ARISE AFTER YOU ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
7.3 Class Action Waiver: You agree that the arbitration of any Dispute will be conducted on an individual, not a class-wide, basis, and that no arbitration proceeding may be consolidated with any other arbitration or other legal proceeding involving Fithub or any other person. You further agree that you, and anyone asserting a claim through you, will not be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, representative, or consolidated proceeding against Fithub, and that the arbitrator of any Dispute between you and Fithub may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claim (such as a class action, representative action, consolidated action or private attorney general action). If the foregoing class action waiver (“Class Action Waiver”) or any portion thereof is found to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable, then the Arbitration Agreement will be unenforceable and the Dispute will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any claim that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is invalid, illegal, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
7.4 Definition of “Dispute”: Subject to the following exclusions, “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Fithub regarding any aspect of your relationship with Fithub, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including without limitation fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, gross negligence or reckless behavior), or any other legal, statutory or equitable theory, and includes without limitation the validity, enforceability or scope of these Terms (except for the scope, enforceability and interpretation of the Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver). However, “Dispute” will not include (1) personal injury claims or claims for lost, stolen, or damaged property; (2) claims that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable; and (3) any claim for public injunctive relief, i.e., injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting alleged unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public. Such claims may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
7.5 Arbitration Procedures and Location: Either you or Fithub may initiate arbitration proceedings. Arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. If you or Fithub initiate arbitration, you and we have a choice of doing so before JAMS or the AAA:
(1) For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols for Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267.
(2) Which particular rules apply in AAA arbitration will depend on how much money is at issue. For less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes/Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. The AAA rules are available at http://www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
If required for the enforceability of the Arbitration Agreement under the Federal Arbitration Act, Fithub will pay all arbitrator’s costs and expenses. If not, those costs will be paid as specified in the above-referenced rules. You and Fithub both agree to bring the arbitration in Los Angeles, California. As set forth in Section 8.5 below, the arbitrator will apply California law.
Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms, including the Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver, Fithub shall have the exclusive and sole right to initiate legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction for the collection of any unpaid Membership Fees, Ancillary Charges, or any other fees owed by the Member to Fithub under these Membership Terms, where the total amount of such fees is up to and including $69,999.99. For such actions, both Fithub and the Member agree to submit exclusively to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Los Angeles County, California.
8. GENERAL TERMS

8.4 Assignment: Fithub may assign or transfer these Terms and your Membership, whether by operation of law or otherwise, to an affiliate of Fithub or to a third party in the event of any merger, acquisition, sale of assets, change of control or other corporate transaction between Fithub (or one of its affiliates) and such third party (or one of its affiliates), in each case without notice to you, and you hereby consent to any such assignment or transfer. You acknowledge that these Terms is personal to you and that you have no rights to transfer or assign these Terms to any other individual or entity.
8.5 Governing Law: This Agreement, your Membership, and any claims, disputes and matters arising hereunder, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without reference to its conflicts of law principles. Except for Disputes that you or Fithub submit to binding arbitration pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement, all claims, disputes and matters arising hereunder will be submitted exclusively to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of competent jurisdiction located in Los Angeles, California, and you and Fithub each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive all objections thereto.
