Break the Love Inc. (hereinafter “BTL”,“we”, or “us”) provides the website https://www.breakthelove.com/ (the “Site”), our application (the “Application”), our software, data, content, information, tools, functionality, updates, and similar materials delivered or provided by us (collectively, the “Service”), subject to your agreement to and compliance with the conditions set forth in this Terms and Conditions Agreement (the “Agreement”).
This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions governing your use of the Service. By using the Service or otherwise entering into this Agreement, you are creating a binding contract with us. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you may not use the Service.
This Agreement is subject to change. If this Agreement changes, we will let you know by posting the revised Agreement on the Service and/or otherwise making you aware of the changes. Your continued use of the Service following our notice of changes to this Agreement (or other method of legal acceptance) means you accept such changes. Please refer to the “Last Updated” date above to see when this Agreement was last updated.
As long as you are in compliance with the conditions of this Agreement and all incorporated documents, we hereby grant you a limited, revocable, non-assignable, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license to access, receive, and use the Service. No rights not explicitly listed are granted.
The following additional terms are incorporated into this Agreement as if fully set forth herein:
The Service is designed to serve as an online platform for sports enthusiasts (“User”) and related organizations (“Brands”) to connect, learn, and organize and attend events (“Events”).
In order to access or use certain aspects of our Service, its content, or its functionality, you may need to create an account with us (“Account”), which may, depending on the type of Account, have to be paired with one or more payment methods (“Payment Method”), including without limitation your bank account, credit card number, credit card verification or other security code, the expiration date of your credit card, and/or your address. All information about your Payment Method(s) must be accurate and complete. Verification of information may be required prior to the completion or acknowledgment of setting up any Payment Method.
In order to download and use the Application, you must download it from either your Apple App Store or Google Play Store (each an “App Store”) account to your mobile device.
For the purposes of this Agreement, if you are an employee, agent, or other representative of a company or an organization, “you”, “your”, and similar terms shall refer to such entity and your ability to bind it legally to the terms of this Agreement.
You must be at least thirteen (13) years old to have an Account. By creating an Account, you represent that you meet(s) this minimum age requirement. In the event an User is under the age of thirteen (13), their parent or guardian (each a “Parent”) can manage the child’s information in the Parent’s Account.
Some parts of the Service may not be available to the general public, and we may impose additional eligibility rules from time to time on those portions of the Service. We reserve the right to amend or eliminate these eligibility requirements at any time.
By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into this Agreement, and that you commit to abide by all the terms and conditions herein.
This Agreement and the Privacy Policy are subject to the provisions of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“EU GDPR”), the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR, together with the EU GDPR, the “GDPR”), and other applicable privacy laws. BTL agrees that under the GDPR, BTL is a data “Controller”, and that you, if you are located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or Northern Ireland, are a “Data Subject” with certain protected privacy rights concerning your “Personal Data”, and BTL will take commercially reasonable steps to maintain compliance with GDPR requirements.
While we make reasonable efforts to ensure that the Service remains available at all times, we do not represent or warrant that access to the Service will be error-free or uninterrupted, or without defect, and we do not guarantee that you will be able to access or use the Service, or its features, at all times.
By electing to participate in an Event, in addition to the other terms herein, you agree: (i) that you may be required to pay third-party fees related to an Event (e.g. equipment fees or session time), and if applicable that you will do so in advance of the Event; (ii) that we may make your contact information available to other Event participants, and if applicable, sponsors or hosts of such Event, including Brands; (iii) to honor other participants’ request to cease contacting them about a particular Event; and (iv) that you will not disclose the contact information of another participant to a third party unless that participant provides their express written consent to do so.
The Service, and any Content (defined below) posted therein, are for information purposes only. We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice.
The Service may contain typographical errors or inaccuracies, and may not be complete or current. We reserve the right to correct any such errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice.
The materials appearing on the Services are for information purposes only and are not intended to and DO NOT constitute medical advice. If you access the materials appearing on the Services, you should not act upon them without first seeking the advice of a medical professional, and are otherwise feeling well. The materials should not be used as a substitute for consultation with a professional adviser.
Our Service is maintained by charging fees to Users and to Brands. To do this, we may use a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”). The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Processor.
Users may be, and hereby agree that their Payment Method will be, charged transactional fees including, but not limited to for Events they wish attend or participate in (“Transactional Fees”), whether such Event(s) are singular or recurring in nature. Transactional Fees for one-off Events shall be charged upon a User’s registration for such Event.
For recurring Events, the User acknowledges that it may be required to pay fees for ongoing, self-renewing monthly access to the Service (“Subscription”) and that User’s Payment Method will be charged in the amounts and at the times identified at the time User registers for the first occurrence of such Event. When you sign-up for a Subscription, you will be granted access to the Event for the length of time identified when you signed up (“Subscription Term”). We reserve the right to change the applicable Subscription fees or charges and to institute new fees and charges at the end of the current Subscription Term, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to the user, which may be sent by email. WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION, UNTIL THE USER PROVIDES PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT IT HAS TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT.
A Brand may also be charged certain fees to the extent that they agree to host and/or sponsor an Event (“Sponsorship Fees”), and the Brand agrees and acknowledges that BTL may, through its Payment Processor, charge the Brand’s Payment Method for the Sponsorship Fees at the time that the Brand agrees to host and/or sponsor such Event.
Each User or Brand, as applicable, hereby represents and warrants that it has the legal right to use any credit card(s) or other payment means used to initiate any transaction. We will automatically charge applicable User’s or Brand’s Payment Method when payments are due, as more fully identified on the Services.
An Account will be considered delinquent if payment in full is not successful when a charge is initiated. Unless specified in an invoice, amounts due are exclusive of all applicable taxes, levies, or duties, and the User or Brand, as applicable, will be responsible for payment of all such amounts. If a Brand or User, as applicable, believes that any specific charge under this Agreement is incorrect, in order to obtain a credit, it must contact us in writing within 30 days of invoice date setting forth the nature and amount of the requested correction; otherwise, invoices are final.
In addition to other applicable remedies, we reserve the right to suspend and/or terminate access to the Service and/or terminate this Agreement if a Payment Method is declined or fails and the corresponding Account therefore is delinquent. Charges to delinquent Accounts are subject to interest of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
All fees are non-refundable, including any charges incurred prior to cancellation of a Subscription.
For any Subscriptions, the applicable User agrees that neither its license to the Service, nor the applicable recurring Event, is a service, repair, or maintenance to real or personal property.
If a user wishes to cancel its Subscription, it may do so at any time through its account. Previously incurred fees are non-refundable, and User shall remain responsible for any unpaid fees remaining in the then-current Subscription Term, if any. If a User or Sponsor cancels or terminates their Account (or Subscription, if applicable), such Sponsor’s or User’s right to attend, host, sponsor, or participate in an Event which they paid for in full prior to the effective date of termination shall survive termination of such Account, or Subscription.

You and BTL agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both you and BTL agree that each have waived any right to a jury trial.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property or other proprietary rights, or to collect unpaid amounts.
To the extent arbitrations does not apply, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service, or to us, may only be brought by you in a state or federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware.
