Part B: Terms for Purchase of Premium or Subscription Services

           This Part B applies in addition to Part A when you purchase any of the Purchase Services (defined below) available through the Services.

  1. PURCHASES

Guideness may offer Services that are subject to a fee (e.g., pay-per-class, pay per series of classes, monthly subscription to classes) (“Purchase Services”). The scope, features, and fee of such Purchase Services are outlined in the respective Service descriptions.  

In connection therewith, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

  1. a)  If you buy Purchase Services by clicking “Get”, “Buy”, “Install”, “Download”, “Accept”, “Agree” or a similar button in the respective online stores such as, without limitation, the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store (“Online Store”), then the relevant Online Store provider’s terms and conditions shall also apply and, accordingly, any issues with the Purchase Services relating to billing and transactions will only be raised with the Online Store provider.
  2. b) You will carefully review any terms and conditions of Online Store providers, which will also apply in addition to these Terms of Service.
  3. VIRTUAL ITEMS

Our Services may enable you to acquire certain virtual items. This includes, without limitation, virtual currency, points, or similar virtual items (“Virtual Items”). Virtual Items shall be due for payment immediately after confirmation of the order. Virtual Items have a period of validity as described in the Services descriptions. You agree that the virtual value of any Virtual Item does not correspond or equate to any real-life monetary value, credit balance or currency. You acknowledge that Virtual Items cannot be used outside of the respective Services.

Any virtual currency or similar balance does not constitute a real-world balance or comprise any stored value. Your right to use the Virtual Items is personal to you unless we agree otherwise, and is limited to your right to use the Services for non-commercial entertainment purposes. You may not re-sell or trade any Virtual Items.

Virtual Items to be used for purchase of Services (such as virtual currency) have a period of validity of three (3) years beginning with the end of the calendar year in which you purchased the Virtual Items (or if shorter, for the period the applicable Services remains available). The Virtual Items will expire after this period. Additionally, please note that if you remove and reinstall a Services on a new device, you may lose your in-Services purchases, including any accrued Virtual Items.

  1. TRIAL VERSIONS

We may, at our sole discretion, offer you Purchase Services for a certain time free of charge (“Trial”). Unless you opt out of the Trial as described in the Services descriptions, we will convert the Trial to a Purchase Services subject to a fee.  

If you use the Services free of charge in any manner as described herein, we are only liable for damages as specified in these Terms of Services.

  1. USE RIGHTS; TERM; TERMINATION

The term for a Purchase Services begins with the placement of an order (i.e., by clicking “Get”, “Buy”, “Install”, “Download”, “Accept”, “Agree” or a similar button) in the respective Services (“Purchase Date”) and ends when you have completed the Purchase Services as described in the Services description.

The term of a Trial begins with the placement of the order as specified herein and ends after the term announced in the Services descriptions (“Trial Period”). The term of a Trial ends automatically after the Trial Period without requirement of a termination of either party. Once your Trial Period expires, you will no longer be able to access the Trial of the Services. Guideness reserves the right (i) to determine if you are eligible to use the Trial and (ii) to discontinue any Trial without notice at our sole discretion. 

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Services at any time (including by limiting or discontinuing certain features of the Services), temporarily or permanently, without notice to you. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, we will have no liability whatsoever on account of any change to the Services or any suspension or termination of your access to or use of the Services. Upon the termination of your account, any aspect of the Services, or this agreement for any reason, Guideness may at its option delete any data you submitted through the Services.

  1. PAYMENT

Fees for Purchase Services will be charged to by our third-party payment processor to the account information provided when creating your account or confirming purchase. If you make a purchase by accident or want to refund your purchase, please contact the Online Store provider within 24 hours after you place your purchase.

When you purchase services from Guideness, you authorize Guideness to charge all sums as described herein, for the services you select, to that payment method. When you become a member in one of our paid subscription services, you understand that it is a membership that automatically renews itself every month indefinitely without action. Depending on your subscription selection, Guideness’s payment processor will charge the then-current fee (plus sales tax, if applicable) to the payment method you specify at the time of purchase. Before you enroll in the subscription services, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are non-refundable, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. If you use the Services to update or cancel any existing authorized one-time or recurring payment, it may take up to 24 hours or such longer period as necessary to process the update/cancellation for the update or cancellation to take effect. If Guideness changes the fees for the Services, including by adding additional fees or charges, Guideness will provide you advance notice of those changes. If you do not accept the changes, Guideness may discontinue providing the Services to you. If you pay any fees with a credit card, Guideness may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase. If your payment is not successful, your access to the Purchase Services will be suspended until payment is received, provided payment is received within approximately 10 business days . If payment is not received within 10 business days, your membership will be cancelled. You may cancel your subscription at any time as follows:

o  If you signed up for Guideness through your Apple iTunes account, you may cancel at any time by going to your “Apple Subscriptions” settings, choosing “Manage Subscription”, and cancelling or changing your subscription details. 

o  If you signed up for Guideness through Guideness website or mobile site, you may cancel at any time by signing in to your account at [PLACEHODLER FOR URL] and cancelling your membership under the “My Account” tab. 

If you have any questions about updating or cancelling your account, please contact us at (310) 826-8899 or by email at info@guideness.co. 


 [A1]@BD, please confirm age.

 [A2]@BD, please confirm this URL when the new privacy policy is posted. The privacy policy should be linked to on the homepage and all other pages. 

 [A3]@BD, at the very least you will need some type of subscription (even if just one time only) to access content, so we think this makes sense.

 [A4]@BD, not sure if you’re doing any type of interactive classes but we thought it made sense to leave it in just in case they’re offered in the future.

 [A5]@BD, please confirm this is accurate.

 [A6]@BD, please confirm this is accurate. We can discuss what these might look like.

@BD,  [A7]Please note, we did not find DMM in the DMCA designated agent directory. Is your agent registered under a different name? In order to benefit from the DMCA’s safe harbor, you must have registered an agent with the Copyright Office. Should this be the same for Body Department?

 [A8]@BD, let’s discuss how you intend on communicating with users, including notifications and alerts. These paragraphs are basically 2 different options and we can select the one that more closely aligns with what you’re planning.

@BD,  [A9]We suggest including a hyperlink to the policy here.

 [A10]@BD, would this apply?

 [A11]@BD, This section would only apply to the extent you offer the platform via an app. If you’re offering it strictly via web now, we can remove this section.

 [A12]@BD to confirm

 [A13]@BD, please confirm whether this is the correct information for Guideness. 

 [A14]@BD, have you determined how you will indicate what offers/subscriptions/etc. will be available?

 [A15]@BD, for discussion so we can better understand the user experience when paying for classes

 [A16]@BD to confirm if any virtual items will be available via the platform

 [A17]@BD, for discussion

 [A18]@BD, we should include here what happens if someone cancels mid-month – for example, would they get a refund if they pre-paid for that month, or does their account remain active until the end of that subscription period?

 [A19]@BD to confirm

 [A20]@BD, for discussion

 [A21]@BD, would this apply?

 [A22]@BD, could you sign up via iTunes or only through the website?

 [A23]@BD to confirm
