(A)  AUTOMATIC RENEWAL.  YOUR ECHELON SUBSCRIPTION (INCLUDING ANY FITPASS SUBSCRIPTION) AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL CANCELLED. YOU WILL BE CHARGED DIRECTLY BY ECHELON OR THROUGH YOUR ITUNES OR GOOGLE PLAY STORE ACCOUNT IF YOU MADE YOUR PURCHASE THROUGH ITUNES OR THE GOOGLE PLAY STORE, RESPECTIVELY. SEE OUR MEMBERSHIP PAGE FOR PRICING INFORMATION. ANY UNUSED PORTION OF ANY FREE TRIAL WILL BE FORFEITED WHEN THE TRIAL ENDS AND SUBSCRIPTION IS PURCHASED.  FOR ANNUAL OR BI-ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS, WE WILL SEND YOU A NOTICE OF RENEWAL. 

(B)  PRICES AND PAYMENT TERMS.  UNLESS YOU HAVE SELECTED A FREE VERSION OF A SERVICE, THE SERVICES ARE PAID, AUTO-RENEWING SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES. YOU WILL BE CHARGED THE STATED SUBSCRIPTION AMOUNT FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD UPON COMPLETION OF YOUR REGISTRATION AND SUBMISSION OF YOUR PAYMENT INFORMATION UNLESS YOUR MEMBERSHIP INCLUDES A FREE TRIAL PERIOD.  IF YOU ACCEPTED AN OFFER WITH A FREE TRIAL FOR ACCESS TO THE SITE OR THE APP, YOUR MEMBERSHIP BEGINS WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE FREE TRIAL SIGN-UP PROCESS (I.E., WHEN WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL AND PAYMENT INFORMATION). AT THE END OF YOUR FREE TRIAL, YOU WILL BEGIN TO BE BILLED AUTOMATICALLY ACCORDING TO THE MEMBERSHIP TERM YOU HAVE SELECTED. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR FREE TRIAL MEMBERSHIP AT ANY TIME DURING THE FREE TRIAL PERIOD, YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED.

IF YOU HAVE SELECTED A MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP, WE WILL  BILL YOU AUTOMATICALLY EACH MONTH (ABOUT EVERY 30 DAYS) UNTIL YOU CANCEL. IF YOU HAVE SELECTED AN ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP, WE WILL BILL YOU AUTOMATICALLY EVERY 365 DAYS UNTIL YOU CANCEL. IF YOU HAVE SELECTED A TWO-YEAR MEMBERSHIP, WE WILL BILL YOU AUTOMATICALLY EVERY 730 DAYS UNTIL YOU CANCEL. ONCE WE BEGIN TO BILL YOU, CANCELLATIONS TAKE EFFECT STARTING AT THE END OF YOUR CURRENT BILLING PERIOD, MEANING THERE ARE NO PARTIAL MONTH REFUNDS OR CREDITS.

YOU ARE AGREEING THAT UPON EXPIRATION OF THE INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION OR FREE TRIAL PERIOD, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR SUCCESSIVE PERIODS, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. YOU AGREE TO AUTOMATIC (RECURRING) BILLING AND AGREE TO PAY THE CHARGES MADE TO YOUR ACCOUNT IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. WE WILL PROCESS PAYMENT FOR ANY RENEWAL SUBSCRIPTIONS USING THE SAME BILLING CYCLE AS YOUR CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION. YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AND THE RECURRING BILLING OF YOUR ACCOUNT WILL CONTINUE INDEFINITELY UNTIL CANCELLED BY YOU. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE THE SUBSCRIPTION OR ACCESS THE SERVICES, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SUBSCRIPTION FEES UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR IT IS OTHERWISE TERMINATED.

(C) PRICE AND OTHER CHANGES.  SUBSCRIPTION FEES MAY CHANGE AT ANY TIME, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.  PRICE CHANGES TO YOUR SUBSCRIPTION SHALL APPLY AFTER WE PROVIDE REASONABLE ADVANCE NOTICE TO YOU. PRICE DECREASES TO YOUR SUBSCRIPTION MAY OCCUR UPON NOTICE.  ANY OTHER MATERIAL CHANGES TO YOUR SUBSCRIPTION SHALL APPLY AFTER WE PROVIDE REASONABLE ADVANCE NOTICE TO YOU.

(D) CANCELLATION.  IF YOU ARE USING THE SERVICES OR THE SITE AND YOU DO NOT WISH FOR YOUR ACCOUNT TO RENEW AUTOMATICALLY, OR IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE OR TERMINATE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT (423) 482-8830, OR LOG INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, CLICK ON THE FOLLOWING LINK, OR TYPE IN THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS INTO YOUR WEB BROWSER WHILE YOU ARE STILL LOGGED IN: MEMBER.ECHELONFIT.COM. YOUR CANCELLATION WILL TAKE EFFECT STARTING AT THE END OF YOUR CURRENT BILLING PERIOD. FROM THE ACCOUNT PAGE, SIMPLY FOLLOW THESE STEPS: SCROLL DOWN TO YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, CLICK CANCEL, AND FOLLOW THE WORKFLOW INSTRUCTIONS TO COMPLETE YOUR CANCELLATION REQUEST.

THERE ARE NO REFUNDS ON ECHELON SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR BILLING PERIODS THAT HAVE ALREADY LAPSED.

THEREAFTER, NO REFUNDS WILL BE AVAILABLE. PROVIDED THAT, IF YOU PURCHASED AN ANNUAL OR TWO-YEAR MEMBERSHIP WITH A NEW PRODUCT OR EQUIPMENT AND YOU RETURN THE PRODUCT OR EQUIPMENT WITHIN NINETY (90) DAYS OF ITS DELIVERY, YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR ANNUAL OR TWO-YEAR SUBSCRIPTION AT THE TIME OF THE RETURN AND RECEIVE A PRORATED REFUND OF YOUR ANNUAL OR TWO-YEAR MEMBERSHIP FEE, BUT THE COSTS FOR SHIPPING AND DELIVERY OF YOUR PRODUCT OR EQUIPMENT WILL ALSO BE DEDUCTED FROM SUCH PRORATED REFUND AMOUNT.

Echelon may investigate and take any available legal action in response to illegal and/or unauthorized uses of the Site or the Services. 

 

3. Your Account.  

To access the Services, you will need to establish an Account (your “Account”). You may not use someone else’s name or post, upload, or submit any content that violates any third-party rights, is against the law, or that is offensive, obscene, or otherwise objectionable in Echelon’s sole discretion. Echelon may, in Echelon’s sole discretion, suspend, disable, or delete your Account (or any part thereof) or block or remove any content that you submit, for any lawful reason, including if Echelon determines that you have violated these Terms or that your conduct or content may damage Echelon’s reputation or goodwill. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account, including any activity by unauthorized users. You may not allow others to use your Account or share your Account with others except as otherwise provided herein. You agree to notify Echelon immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your Account, access to your password, or any other breach of security. In the event your Account is for any reason shared with or used by anyone other than you, you shall be responsible for informing any such user of these Terms and ensuring compliance with the same. You are solely responsible for any and all use of your Account and although Echelon will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your Account or use by anyone other than you, you may be liable for the losses of Echelon or others due to such uses. You agree that Echelon, in its sole discretion, may terminate or suspend your use of the Site and Services at any time and for any or no reason in its sole discretion, even if access and use continues to be allowed to others. Upon such suspension or termination, you must immediately discontinue use of the Site and Services. Accessing the Site or Services after such termination, suspension or discontinuation shall constitute an act of trespass. Further, you agree that Echelon shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination or suspension of your access to the Site or the Services.

You may delete your Account at any time. We reserve the right, but are under no obligation, to delete an Account from the Services that remains inactive (i.e., the user fails to log in) for a continuous period of at least six (6) months, or immediately when payment expires, is withdrawn, or otherwise ceases. Echelon may suspend, disable, or delete your Account (or any part thereof) or block or remove any information or content you submitted if Echelon determines that you have violated any provision of these Terms or that your conduct or content would tend to damage Echelon's reputation or goodwill. If Echelon deletes your Account or any information or content you have submitted for the foregoing reasons, you may not re-register for the Services. Echelon may block your email address and Internet Protocol address to prevent further registration and/or submission of information and content. Echelon is not required to disclose, and may be prohibited by law from disclosing, the reason for the termination or suspension of your Account. After your Account is terminated for any reason, these Terms survive such termination, and continue in full force and effect, except for any terms that by their nature expire or are fully satisfied. Upon termination, all licenses granted by Echelon will terminate. In the event of Account deletion for any reason, information and content that you submitted may no longer be available. Echelon shall not be responsible for the loss of such information or content.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS IS LIMITED TO REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, OR REFUND AS SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT. NEITHER ANY PERFORMANCE OR OTHER CONDUCT, NOR ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION, STATEMENT, OR ADVICE PROVIDED BY US OR ANY OF OUR SUPPLIERS, AGENTS, OR EMPLOYEES WILL CREATE A WARRANTY, OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OR DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.

(a) Who May Use This Warranty?

This limited warranty extends only to the original purchaser of Products and Services from Echelon or new Products purchased from an authorized Echelon retailer. It does not extend to any subsequent or other owner or transferee of any Product or any transferee or other beneficiary of any Service.

(b) What Does This Warranty Cover?

This limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship in equipment and parts as indicated above.

(c) What Does This Warranty Not Cover?

This limited warranty does not cover any damages due to:

  1. transportation;
  2. storage;
  3. improper use;
  4. failure to follow the product instructions or to perform any preventive maintenance;
  5. modifications;
  6. combination or use with any products, materials, processes, systems, or other matter not provided or authorized in writing by Echelon Fitness Multimedia, LLC;
  7. unauthorized repair;
  8. normal wear and tear; or
  9. external causes such as accidents, abuse, or other actions or events beyond our reasonable control.

(d) What is the Period of Coverage?

This limited warranty on Products starts on the date of your purchase and lasts for the period as indicated above for the different equipment and parts (the “Warranty Period”). The Warranty Period is not extended if we repair or replace a warranted Product or re-perform a warranted service. We may change the availability of this limited warranty at our discretion, but any such changes will not be retroactive.

(e) Echelon Premier Warranty

(i) All active Premier Members receive an additional four (4) years of total warranty coverage in addition to the one (1) year limited warranty on equipment, for a total of five (5) years of total coverage.  You must be and continue to be an active Premier Member to receive this benefit; past Premier Members are not eligible.  The warranty period for Echelon Premier Warranty begins as of the date of purchase of the equipment; provided, however, that if a member decides to enroll in and maintain an Annual Premier Membership after the purchase of equipment, the member will receive the Premier Warranty beginning as of the purchase of Premier Warranty, and ending five (5) years from the original purchase of equipment.  For example, if a member purchase a Premier Warranty two (2) years after purchasing the Product, the member would have extended coverage under the Premier Warranty for an additional three (3) years.  The new Premier Warranty program begins immediately, and includes all existing Premier Members, who will receive the Premier Warranty for five (5) years from the date of equipment purchase. The Premier Warranty does not extend the limited warranty period on the treadmill motors or frames.  The Premier Warranty does not cover other membership tiers, such as CHOICE Membership.

(ii) For active Premier Members who previously purchased an extended warranty, the Warranty Period shall be extended an additional four (4) years.  For example, if an active Premier Member purchased a two (2) year extended warranty at the time of purchase, the member would receive seven (7) years of total coverage: one (1) year base warranty coverage + two (2) year extended warranty coverage + four (4) year Premier Warranty coverage. 

(iii) Will Echelon still offer extended warranty coverage?  Yes, for customers who chose not to purchase a membership, or who purchase a membership other than Premier Membership, we will still offer extended warranty options.

(f)  What Are Your Remedies Under This Warranty?

With respect to any defective Product during the Warranty Period, we will, in our sole discretion, either: (i) repair or replace such Product (or the defective part) free of charge, or (ii) refund the purchase price of such Product. We will also pay for shipping and handling fees during the first 12 months to return the repaired or replacement product to you if we elect to repair or replace the defective Product. After month 12, if a replacement product is required, we will charge a fee for shipment of the new or refurbished replacement product to your location. For 2023 the replacement product shipping fee is $99. This replacement product shipping fee does not apply to items under the “frame” warranty.

With respect to any defective Service during the Warranty Period, we will, in our sole discretion, either: (i) repair or re-perform the defective Service free of charge, or (ii) refund the price paid by you for such Service.

(g) How Do You Obtain Warranty Service?

To obtain warranty service, you must call 833-YES-BIKE or email our Customer Service Department at cs@echelonfit.com during the Warranty Period, and one of our Customer Service Specialists will be happy to assist you to obtain an RMA number. No warranty service will be provided without an RMA number. It is possible we will need to send a technician to your location to complete the repair (Not available in all areas, please contact customer service to check for availability in your area).

(h) Limitation of Liability

THE REMEDIES DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND OUR ENTIRE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. OUR LIABILITY WILL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEED THE ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT OR SERVICE THAT YOU HAVE PURCHASED, NOR WILL WE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PRODUCTION, WORK, DATA, USE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, REPUTATION, REVENUE OR PROFIT, ANY DIMINUTION IN VALUE, COSTS OF REPLACEMENT GOODS OR SERVICES, OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOSSES, WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT.
