Termos de Utilização
Last Updated: November 16, 2023
Welcome to ClassPass!
Welcome to ClassPass! These Terms of Use (“Terms“) are a contract between you and ClassPass International Holdings LLC (“ClassPass“ or “we“) and govern your access to and use of any ClassPass website, mobile application (such as for iPhone or Android) or content (the “Site“) or any fitness, recreational, wellness, or other classes, experiences, activities, events, services, recordings, and/or products made available through ClassPass (individually, a “Class” and collectively, “Classes”). Please read these Terms carefully before accessing and using the Site or Classes.
1. Terms of Use
a) Acceptance of Terms. By accessing and/or using the Site and/or Classes, 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 Classes.
b) Amendment of Terms. ClassPass 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 Classes after such posting constitutes your consent to be bound by the Terms, as amended. For the avoidance of doubt, you may cancel in accordance with section 3(f) of these Terms if you consider an amendment to be detrimental.
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 ClassPass Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated by reference.
2. ClassPass Platform
a) ClassPass Platform. The ClassPass platform enables consumers to reserve, schedule, purchase, access and attend a wide range of fitness, recreational and wellness Classes offered and operated by fitness studios, gyms, trainers, venues or other third parties (collectively, “Venues”). ClassPass 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 Classes that are offered at or through such facilities.
b) Membership Options. There are a number of ways to participate in Classes through ClassPass, such as various subscription plans, promotional plans, digital Classes, and non-subscription purchases. These options consist of different Classes, 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 in our discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, you may cancel in accordance with clause 3(f) of these Terms if you consider any changes to be detrimental. From time to time we may permit non-subscribers to access certain Classes, content or features for a cost or at no cost. ClassPass makes no commitment on the quantity, availability, type or frequency at which such Classes, 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) Subscription Plans. To enjoy full access to the Site and Classes, you need to sign up for a subscription. A subscription starts on the date that you sign up for a subscription and submit payment via a valid Payment Method (defined below) or reactivate a pre-existing subscription. 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 “Subscription Cycle”). Your ClassPass subscription automatically renews each month, and we will automatically bill the monthly subscription fee to your Payment Method each month, until your subscription is cancelled or terminated. For example, if you purchase your ClassPass subscription on April 5, your subscription will automatically renew on May 5 (as further explained in “Subscription 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 subscription to your base subscription or if you upgrade or downgrade to a different subscription, all such subscriptions will be governed by these Terms and will continue indefinitely until cancelled or terminated.
d) Use of Credits. Depending on the subscription plan you choose and purchase, you will be allotted credits to be used solely to book Classes each Subscription Cycle. You can choose how you use your credits across the various Classes available to you.
UNLESS THE APPLICABLE ROLLOVER POLICY STATES OTHERWISE OR WE EXPRESSLY STATE OTHERWISE, ANY CREDITS YOU DON’T USE DURING THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION CYCLE WILL NOT ROLL OVER INTO FUTURE SUBSCRIPTION CYCLES. You can find more information about the current rollover policies here. You can see how many days you have left in each Subscription Cycle in your account settings. IF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IS CANCELLED OR TERMINATED, YOUR UNUSED CREDITS WILL EXPIRE AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 3(f) OF THE TERMS. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS, THERE WILL BE NO REFUND OR PAYMENT FOR ANY UNUSED CREDITS AMOUNT. When your Subscription 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 and we can help you.
Credits have no cash value or any other value outside of the ClassPass platform and are not redeemable for cash. For the 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 ClassPass credits. Note that separate from credits, you can also buy a gift certificate. Gift certificates and credits are not the same thing. Our gift certificates are called “gift cards”. Unlike credits, gift cards never expire. Gift cards are discussed further in section 4(b) below.
e) Class Availability and Allocation. The exact number and type of Classes you take during any Subscription Cycle will depend on the number of credits needed to book the particular Classes you select. The number of credits needed to book a particular Class will vary and is determined based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to Venue requirements, time of day, equipment, facilities, the number of times you’ve visited a studio in the cycle, location, pricing, popularity and other characteristics. For example, a Class offered at a peak time is likely to require more credits to book than the same Class offered in the middle of the afternoon. Or, a Class that uses equipment is likely to require more credits to book than a class without the use of any equipment. Furthermore, a Venue may require more credits for a certain Class under certain circumstances, such as when the Venue makes only a small number of spots available to ClassPass or after multiple visits in a cycle. Note that credits needed to book Classes also vary from city to city. Accordingly, if ClassPass permits you to reserve classes in a city that differs from your home location, your credits may enable you to reserve more or fewer classes when you are traveling from your home location. As such, the number of credits you need to reserve a particular Class or service may change at any time or vary day to day depending on the factors described here. ClassPass also reserves the right to change the number of credits you receive, including per cycle, plan, geography or otherwise; the number of reservations you can make; and/or the number of Classes you can miss or cancel. For the avoidance of doubt, you may cancel in accordance with section 3(f) of these Terms if you consider any changes to be detrimental.
ClassPass does not guarantee the availability of particular Venues, locations, Classes, 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 Venues, Classes, and other inventory offered, are determined by ClassPass in its sole discretion. ClassPass takes certain steps to release, promote and otherwise make available spots and inventory at varying times and in an ongoing and evolving way. For the avoidance of doubt, you may cancel in accordance with section 3(f) of these Terms if you consider any changes to be detrimental.
f) Digital Classes. ClassPass may allow you to access to a variety of audio or video Classes from your computer or mobile device, via live stream and/or on demand. To access these digital Classes, you need to comply with certain technical and hardware requirements. Certain digital Classes may involve your participation through connected devices such as heart rate monitors. If you participate in such digital Classes through a connected device, we may collect heart rate and other metrics (e.g., points) to calculate your ranking in a Class leaderboard (if you sync your heart rate monitor to the Site), display a record of your participation, and otherwise provide, learn about and improve the Site and our services. If you sync your heart rate monitor with the Site to participate in digital Classes, you will automatically be part of the leaderboard experience, and other participants in the Class will see your profile information (including your profile picture and username) and rank in the Class. Additionally, your profile information may appear on our Site and be viewable by other ClassPass users. For example, ClassPass may show a weekly leaderboard displaying the profiles of the ten users who have the highest cumulative point totals for the week. If you do not want your profile picture or username to be seen by other ClassPass users, don’t include any identifying information in your profile, or go to your settings to change it. ClassPass is not responsible for the accuracy of the heart rate monitor used in connection with the digital Classes. The heart rate recommendations and goals provided through these digital Classes may not be right for you and it is solely your responsibility to make sure that you participate in the manner and at the intensity level that is right for you. The recommendations and goals provided through these digital Classes may not be right for you and it is solely your responsibility to make sure that you participate in the manner and at the intensity level that is right for you.
g) Non-Subscription Purchases. ClassPass may permit you to purchase certain products or Classes through the Site, in addition to your subscription or without having a subscription. 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) Co-Memberships. From time to time ClassPass may permit you to sign up for a co-membership that provides you with a membership to ClassPass as well as a membership to a third-party Venue, such as a gym (“Venue Membership”). If you sign up for a co-membership, you will be subject to these Terms as well as additional terms applicable to the co-membership and the Venue Membership. You understand and agree that ClassPass does not own, operate or control the Venue Membership and is not responsible for the Venue Membership, which is provided entirely by the applicable Venue.
i) ClassPass Account. Your ClassPass account is personal to you and you agree not to create more than one account. You cannot transfer or gift Classes or credits to third parties or allow third parties to use your ClassPass account, including other ClassPass users. You must not use or exploit the Site and/or Classes for commercial purposes. We continually update and test various aspects of the ClassPass platform. We reserve the right to, and by using the Site and/or Classes you agree that we may, include you in or exclude you from these tests without notice. You understand and agree that ClassPass may take actions we deem reasonably necessary to prevent fraud and abuse
You agree that the information you provide to ClassPass 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 unauthorized users. To use the Site you must have access to the Internet and may be required to download a ClassPass mobile application to use some or all of ClassPass features. You are solely responsible for providing your own access (e.g., computer, mobile device, Internet connection, etc.) to the Site and Classes.
j) Eligibility. The availability of all or part of our Site and/or Classes may be limited based on geographic, age, or other criteria as we may establish from time to time. You understand and agree we may disallow you from subscribing to ClassPass 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 the Site and/or Classes and/or purchase a ClassPass subscription. You further understand that the Site and/or Classes may not be available in every geography.

3. Fees, Billing, Cancellation.
a) Recurring Billing. By initiating a ClassPass subscription, you authorize us to charge you for your initial subscription period and a recurring monthly subscription fee at the then current rate, which may change from time to time. in accordance with section 3(d) of these Terms. 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 authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts, which may be billed monthly in one or more charges. You also authorize 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 subscription or access the Site and/or Classes, you will be responsible for subscription fees until you cancel your subscription, or it is otherwise terminated.
b) Subscription Cycle. When you sign up and purchase your ClassPass subscription, your first Subscription Cycle will be billed immediately. Unless we expressly communicate otherwise, your subscription will automatically renew each month and you will be billed on the same date each month. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing (and if we do, we'll make adjustments to the amounts we charge, as appropriate). In the event your paid subscription began on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your Payment Method on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your ClassPass subscription or became a paying member on 31 January, your next payment date is likely to be 28 February, and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. Your renewal date may change due to changes in your subscription.
c) Refunds. Generally to the extent permitted by law, our fees (including the monthly membership fee and any other fees) are non-refundable, unless we specifically communicate otherwise at the time of purchase. However, we will provide a refund to subscribers for their current prepaid Subscription Cycle only in the following circumstances: (i) if you are cancelling your subscription and request a refund within 5 days of the date of your first payment for your subscription or (ii) if your subscription is cancelled prior to the end of a Subscription Cycle for which you have incurred a charge, due to your relocation, disability or death; provided, however, in each case we reserve the right to charge a fee to cover the cost of any Class 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. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR MAKE GOODS FOR ANY PRIOR MONTHS INCLUDING FOR UNUSED CREDITS OR CLASSES. Nothing in this section 3(c) is intended to have the effect of contracting out of the provisions of the CGA except to the extent permitted by law.
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 through a posting on the ClassPass website or mobile application or such other means as we may deem appropriate from time to time, such as email. ClassPass will provide advance notice of a price increase before it becomes effective (other than any increases due to legal or tax requirements such as the application of GST) by posting a notification on the Site, sending an email or such other means as ClassPass reasonably determines. For the avoidance of doubt, you may cancel in accordance with section 3(f) of these Terms if you consider any price changes to be detrimental. 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 website or 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 authorize 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 of Subscription. Unless we communicate otherwise, you may terminate your subscription at any time before your subscription renews by going into your account settings on the ClassPass website and letting us know you would like to cancel. Unless we communicate otherwise, and except for during a Trial, following any cancellation you will continue to have access to your subscription through the end of your current prepaid Subscription 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 ClassPass or to restrict your access in future months. If you cancel your subscription or it is terminated for any reason, you will lose access to all Classes, content, credits or features available through the subscription once the cancellation or termination is effective.
g) Other Fees. You are responsible for paying applicable fees if you do not cancel a Class you had reserved with appropriate notice or do not attend your scheduled Class. Click here for our current cancellation and missed Class rules, including the applicable fees. We reserve the right to change the policy regarding when we charge fees, to introduce additional fees (such as a sign-up fee) and to change the amount of any such fees at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, if ClassPass increases the price, you may cancel in accordance with section 3(f) of these Terms.
h) Reservation and Cancellation of Classes. As a ClassPass user you must reserve and cancel your Classes only through the Site. The fees and charges associated with cancellations are set out in section 4(a) below. It is a breach of these Terms if you reserve or cancel directly with a Venue, including through any online or mobile account you have with a Venue, independent of ClassPass. If you reserve or cancel directly with such Venue, we reserve the right to charge you the full amount that the Venue charges for such Class and/or any applicable cancellation fees, and/or to terminate your subscription.
i) Fees Charged by Venues. In addition to fees we charge, Venues may also charge equipment or other amenity fees that you will be responsible for directly. For example, some Venues might charge extra to rent a yoga mat or cycling shoes. Further, ClassPass only gives you access to the class for which you signed up on the Site (and at the specified time and location). The Venue may have additional fees for use of additional Classes or spaces.
4. Promotions
a) Trials. From time to time we may offer a trial membership that includes access to the ClassPass Site during the trial period. The Classes, content and features available during your Trial may differ from those available during subsequent Subscription Cycles. Trials will have the duration and price communicated at the time you sign up. Unless otherwise communicated, a trial begins at the moment of sign up (even if you choose not to take your first Class until a later date) and ends at 11:59pm NZT on the last day of the trial (for a one-week trial, this would be the same weekday of following week). If you cancel your Trial, your cancellation will be processed and your Trial period will end immediately, your credits will expire, and your upcoming reservations will be cancelled, unless we communicate otherwise. Each trial membership will automatically convert to a regular monthly subscription and monthly membership fee at the then-current rate unless cancelled by 12:00pm (midday) NZT on the day before the last day of trial. Customers that cancel and do not convert to a regular subscription may not attend Classes taking place after the end of the trial membership period (even if booking occurred before the end of the applicable trial period). Trials, discount offers, and promotions (collectively “Trials“) may be redeemed as described in the specifics of the promotion and may be subject to additional or different terms. Unless we expressly communicate otherwise, Trials are not transferable, may not be combined with other offers or redeemed for cash and are void where prohibited. You understand and agree that unless we expressly communicate otherwise, Trials are available only to new users that have never had a ClassPass account before and there is only one Trial permitted per credit card or Payment Method and it is a violation of these Terms to sign up for a Trial if you have signed up for an account or trial in the past or to have more than one account or trial at the same time. ClassPass reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Trial. If in our discretion we believe you are not eligible for a Trial, we reserve the right to prevent you from signing up for a Trial or to terminate your promotional subscription. If we terminate your Trials because you have violated these Terms, you understand that you will not be eligible for a refund.
b) Gift Cards. From time to time we may make available ourselves or through third parties gift cards for ClassPass membership. The purchase and redemption of gift cards may be subject to additional terms and conditions. The current terms that apply to gift cards can be found here. Other than gifting a gift card as described in the gift card terms, you may not gift Classes or credits to third parties and your use of ClassPass is personal to you.
c) Refer a Friend. From time to time we may make available certain incentives for ClassPass users to refer a friend to use ClassPass. The current terms that apply to referrals can be found here.
d) Other Promotions. ClassPass may offer additional types of offers and promotions which will be subject to additional terms and conditions that ClassPass may provide.
5. Termination or Modification by ClassPass
You understand and agree that, at any time and without prior notice ClassPass may (1) terminate, cancel, deactivate, disable, delete and/or suspend your subscription, your account, any orders placed, or your access to or use of the Site, your subscription and/or Classes (or any portion thereof, including but not limited to your access to any or all Venues, credits or classes or services) and/or (2) discontinue, disable, suspend, modify or alter any aspect, feature or policy of the Site, including of your subscription. This includes the right to terminate or modify any subscription prior to the end of any pre-paid or committed period. Upon any termination or otherwise, we may immediately deactivate your account and all related information and/or bar any further access to your account information and the Site. To the extent permitted by law, ClassPass shall have no liability for, and you shall have no recourse for, any such termination or deactivation, except as set forth in the following sentence. If you are a subscriber, then upon any such termination by us without cause, we will issue you a pro rata refund of the prepaid portion of your subscription applicable to future unused services (less any fees or costs for classes or services already used) as your sole and exclusive remedy. tTo the extent permitted by law, if you have violated these Terms or otherwise engaged in illegal or improper use of Classes and/or the Site or your subscription, you will not be entitled to any refund and you agree that we will not be responsible to pay any such refund. To the extent permitted by law, you agree that ClassPass will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination or modification to the service regardless of the reason for such termination or modification. You acknowledge that your only right with respect to any dissatisfaction with any modification or discontinuation of service made by us is to cancel or terminate your subscription in accordance with section 3(f) of these Terms. If ClassPass deletes your account for these reasons, you may not re-register for or use the Site and/or Classes under any other user name, email, payment method or profile. ClassPass may block your access to the Site to prevent re-registration.

You consent to ClassPass collecting, holding, using and disclosing any such personal information for all purposes specified in the ClassPass Privacy Policy.
