It is at the discretion of Fitpass to link the conclusion of the contract to further requirements (e.g. credit check).
The services of Fitpass can only be used after prior registration and creation of a complete user profile with a profile photo, which allows a clear identification of the Fitpass member, on https://www.fitpass.ch or via the Fitpass app.

Fitpass is entitled to effectively deliver declarations to the Fitpass member to his e-mail address, unless a stricter form is mandatory by law or agreement.
A Fitpass member can only be a natural person.

Separate agreements between Fitpass and the company (e.g. company framework agreements) may contain further or different provisions.
The Fitpass member is obliged to keep the personal access data, especially the password, confidential and not to make it accessible to third parties. If the Fitpass member suspects misuse of his/her password or member account, he/she must inform Fitpass immediately.
The personal data provided during registration will be stored by Fitpass, so that the Fitpass member can access the member account at any time with his/her access data.

3. SCOPE OF FITPASS SERVICES
On the platform operated by Fitpass, Fitpass provides Fitpass Members in particular with a search function for sports partners and offers. Fitpass operates the platform within its technical possibilities. Fitpass members have no claim to error-free and uninterrupted use of the platform at all times or to a certain availability.
Fitpass provides Fitpass members with the possibility to use the offers of the sports partners within the scope of services agreed upon between Fitpass and the sports partner. The agreed scope of services is also listed on the Fitpass website under the description of the respective sports partner. The agreed scope of services does not necessarily include the entire range of services offered by the respective sports partner, but may be limited, for example, with regard to opening hours or services for Fitpass members.
Fitpass endeavors to keep the description on the website up to date, but assumes no liability in the event that the scope of services according to the description does not correspond to the actual agreed scope of services. If the agreed scope of services with a sports partner is changed, this will be adjusted and displayed on the Fitpass website within a reasonable period of time. If the cooperation between a sports partner and Fitpass is terminated, Fitpass will inform about the termination at its own discretion. The sports partner in question will be removed from the list of sports partners and can no longer be found in the sports finder.
Fitpass members are not entitled to a reduction or refund of fees in the event of a change in the agreed scope of services or if one or more sports partners cease to exist. Likewise, there is no entitlement to a reduction or refund of fees if a Fitpass member has been excluded from a sports partner.
If the Fitpass member accepts an offer from a sports partner, a contract for third-party services is concluded between the Fitpass member and the sports partner. Contracts for third-party services between Fitpass members and sports partners are neither the subject of the member contract nor of these GTC. Fitpass acts only as an intermediary for these contracts for third-party services and is therefore not involved in the contracts for third-party services concluded between Fitpass members and sports partners, neither as a contractual partner nor as a representative or vicarious agent or in any other way. The fulfillment of all contractual obligations is exclusively between Fitpass members and sports partners. Fitpass is not liable from the contracts concluded between Fitpass members and sports partners. For offers where registration is required (e.g. group courses, scheduled trainings, etc.), communication takes place between the member and the sports partner. Fitpass reserves the right to deduct the fee of CHF 20.- directly from the deposited payment method in case of no-shows. Fitpass provides its service exclusively via App. An offline version, or the possibility to use the Fitpass subscription otherwise, is not possible.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF FITPASS MEMBERS

5. USE OF SPORTS FACILITIES BY FITPASS MEMBERS
Fitpass members are required to identify themselves with the Fitpass app when entering a sports partner facility for check-ins. If the Fitpass App is not available, access must be made manually by the sports partner. At the request of the sports partner, the Fitpass member must identify himself/herself with an official photo ID (e.g. identity card, driver's license). Access without prior registration (check-in) is neither possible nor permissible.
The Fitpass member is responsible for the proper use of the services and facilities of the sports partner. When using the services and facilities of the sports partner, the Fitpass member is obliged to comply with the conditions and regulations of the sports partner (e.g. general terms and conditions, operating regulations, usage regulations, safety regulations, etc.). Failure to comply with the terms and regulations may result in the exclusion of the Fitpass member from the sports partner and termination of the membership contract by Fitpass without notice. Fitpass is not liable in any case for damages suffered by a Fitpass member in the course of using the services and facilities of the sports partner. Likewise, Fitpass excludes any liability for damages of any kind incurred by a sports partner through a Fitpass member.
If the scope of services agreed upon between Fitpass and the sports partner does not include the entire range of services offered by the respective sports partner (e.g. with regard to opening hours, possibilities of using wellness areas or with regard to service offers such as special courses or rental articles, etc.), Fitpass members can extend the corresponding scope of services by paying an additional fee to the respective sports partner, provided that this is provided for by the regulations of the sports partner. Such an agreement is made directly between the sports partner and the Fitpass member without any involvement of Fitpass.
Fitpass Schweiz AG reserves the right to verify any misuse by means of random checks and to take appropriate measures.
6. FEES AND INVOICING, PAYMENT METHODS
The use of the Fitpass App and other Fitpass services is subject to fees. The amount of the fees are displayed on the website www.fitpass.ch, or in the Fitpass App. Fitpass reserves the right to change the fees at any time.

Members of a yearly or half-yearly membership have the possibility to interrupt the subscription (decisive is the start date) without giving a reason.
- Minimum duration of the interruption: 4 weeks.
- Maximum interruption: 4 months (total per year)
A fee will be charged.
In case of closure of a majority of Fitpass sports facilities due to an official order (e.g. in case of a pandemic), a time credit will be given upon written request (email) for the duration of the officially ordered measures. If further/other interruptions are desired, a corresponding request can be made via info@fitpass.ch (without guarantee).
IMPORTANT: Does not apply to subscriptions with installment payments.
8. TERM AND TERMINATION OF MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION / ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION
The membership contract can be terminated by the Fitpass member at any time at the end of the booked contract period. The cancellation takes place exclusively by activating or deactivating the button automatic renewal in the member login. There will be an automatic e-mail confirmation of the cancellation after the expiration of the subscription
Annual subscription in installments:
If the customer is in arrears with an installment, he will receive a message by e-mail that the payment has failed and that the subscription cannot be used until a valid means of payment has been deposited so that Fitpass can debit the payment. As soon as the outstanding installment has been paid (or several outstanding installments have been paid), the subscription can be used again immediately without restriction. The interruption of the annual subscription due to late payment of installments has no influence on the total term of the annual subscription. In any case, the maximum term is 1 year. The late payment of an installment also has no influence on the due date of the subsequent installment. This is determined by the date of conclusion of the annual subscription or the payment of the first installment. The subsequent installments are due on the same day of the following months (example: the first installment is paid on 17.2, the subsequent installments are therefore due on 17.3, 17.4, etc.). If the customer does not pay the installment owed on 17.4 until 23.4, for example, the next installment is still owed on 17.5). If the amount owed has not been paid in full at the end of the term of the annual subscription in installments, the remaining amount owed will be invoiced in full. In this case, default interest will be charged at 5% on the outstanding balance from the first day after the end of the annual subscription. A fee of CHF 20 will be charged for each reminder. Fitpass can assign the outstanding debt to a collection partner.
Fitpass also has the right to terminate the membership contract at any time with effect from the end of the booked contract period. Fitpass also has the right to terminate the membership contract without notice for good cause. An important reason is in particular,
- if the member provides false personal, contact or payment data or otherwise deceives about his identity (e.g. by uploading a profile picture showing a person other than the Fitpass member).
- if the Fitpass member allows a third party to use his or her member account or provides a third party with unauthorized access to partner services.
- in case of gross misconduct of the Fitpass member towards sports partners, other Fitpass members or third parties when using the Fitpass services.
In the event of termination of the membership contract without notice, there is no entitlement to a refund of fees paid.
