Registration and Use

In order to use the Website, you must complete all required information elements on the registration page of the Website, including in some instance providing a valid credit card or other payment method. You must also pay for all applicable fees, purchases and other obligations arising from your use of the Website. You must provide current, complete and accurate information and maintain it as current and accurate. We may require you to provide additional information as a condition of continued use of the Website or to purchase Goods. We facilitate processing the payment for purchased Goods.

Corporate Members shall invite and/or provide a list of prospective Individual Members to invite to join BetterWorks. Each such prospective Individual Member must register with the Website before he/she can use the Website and its services.

Each user is required to create an account in order to purchase Goods. Through the account, the user can view and print past purchases, pay for Goods, modify preferences, rate or review purchased Goods and post on public forums.

By selecting a Good to purchase, you make an offer to us to purchase the Good you have selected on the terms and conditions stated below. You hereby authorize us to charge the credit card or other payment method you have on file in connection with purchases of Goods. For more information about our collection of personal information, please view our Privacy Policy.

Recurring Purchases: Some Goods are purchasable, and billed, on a recurring periodic basis (e.g., daily, weekly, quarterly or annually). The recurring and periodic terms of these Goods will be presented to you at the time of your purchase. By selecting recurring periodic Goods you authorize us, if applicable, to process payment against the credit card or other payment method you have until you cancel such Goods in accordance with its terms. BetterWorks reserves the right to continue to bill the credit card or other payment method you have on file for any Goods purchased prior to such cancellation. In the event of any change in the price of such Goods (including, without limitation, the termination of any subsidy), BetterWorks will notify you via its platform of such change prior to processing your payment at such higher price.

One-Time Purchases: Some Goods are purchasable, and billed, on a one-time basis, which terms will be presented to you at the time of your purchase of such Goods.

Initial Fees: Some Goods may require a non-refundable initial fee to be charged when you purchase such Good (e.g., a gym initiation fee, country club setup fee, etc.). Any such initial fee will be presented to you at the time of your initial purchase of such Goods.

The Vendor, not BetterWorks, is the seller of the Goods and is solely responsible for providing such Goods you purchased. Members' only recourse with respect to the failure of delivery of such Goods as described shall be against the Vendor from which such Goods were purchased. Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Members agree to make any claims with respect to Goods within 45 days after purchase of such Goods.

Additional Terms and Conditions for Goods

All Goods offered on the Website may be subject to the terms and conditions of the Vendor. Any such terms and conditions are set forth in the Website. By making a purchase, you acknowledge and agree to such terms and conditions.

Goods Are Nontransferable

Your purchase of Goods is nontransferable. In other words, if you purchase a Good, only you have the right to receive such a Good. You cannot transfer the right to receive Goods to anyone else.

No Refunds or Exchanges

Once your purchase transaction is completed, it cannot be returned or refunded by either BetterWorks or Vendor. BetterWorks advises that prior to placing an order for a Good you carefully review your selection. Once you have purchased a Good, You agree to not dispute or otherwise seek a "chargeback" from the credit card or other payment method you used. If you have a question about a charge, you agree to contact us via the BetterWorks platform or at the email address provided in the Contacts and Notices section of these Terms of Use.

Failure to pay such fees and for money owed for Goods purchased will result in your account being turned over to a collection agency. Past due balances will be subject to a finance charge of 2% per month or the highest amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. If your account is past due, you agree to pay all related collection costs including, but not limited to, court costs, attorney's fees, collection agency fees and other administrative costs.

These changes will be effective immediately for new users of our Website and Goods purchased after the effective date.

If a Corporate Member elects to offer such subsidies, the Corporate Member agrees to pay to BetterWorks immediately at the beginning of each billing period the applicable subsidy for each Individual Member who purchases Goods subject to such subsidy. The Corporate Member shall be solely responsible with respect to any required withholding, payroll taxes or other taxes with respect to such subsidies. You authorize us to process payment against the credit card or other payment method you have on file.

BetterWorks hereby grants you, as a Corporate Member, during the term of this Agreement, a worldwide, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable, fully paid license to use BetterWorks' logo and name and a list of BetterWorks Vendors and Goods (but excluding the prices or discounts with respect to such Goods) on your websites and/or corporate literature solely to describe your use of the BetterWorks platform and to promote your use of our platform and services.

ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO VENDORS
Vendor Agreement

Each Vendor shall also enter into a separate Vendor agreement (a "Vendor Agreement") with BetterWorks with respect to the Goods it intends to provide. Each Vendor agrees to provide the Goods described in its Vendor Agreements at the prices or discounts and under the terms and conditions and for the periods of time set forth in such Vendor Agreements.

Availability of Goods

The Vendor will make available and provide the Goods that BetterWorks and the Vendor mutually agree. BetterWorks, in its sole discretion, will decide which Goods to offer to Members Vendors must always provide Goods to BetterWorks at its best price and highest discount across North America. If at any time the Vendor offers the Goods on a similar basis to anyone anywhere in North America at a price lower than the price offered to BetterWorks or at a discount greater than that provided to BetterWorks, then the Vendor will immediately notify BetterWorks and the terms of the Goods to BetterWorks will be immediately revised to reflect such lower price or greater discount. If we discover such lower price or greater discount, we will contact you to revise pricing and may suspend your account until you match the price or discount.

Member Purchase of Goods; Payment for Goods

BetterWorks will collect payment for Goods purchased by Members and will periodically remit payment for such Goods to the Vendor in accordance with the Vendor Agreement between the Vendor and BetterWorks.

In the event that BetterWorks is unable to collect payment from a Member despite BetterWorks commercial reasonable efforts, and BetterWorks is therefore unable to remit payment to the Vendor, the Vendor's only recourse with respect to such payment shall be against the Member in question.

Vendor Terms and Conditions

The Vendor may subject Members' purchase of Goods to such standard terms and conditions as are set forth in the Vendor Agreement and as the Vendor may reasonably require with the prior written consent of BetterWorks.

Vendor Fees

If you are a Vendor, you agree to pay to BetterWorks the fees set forth in the Vendor Agreement. You authorize us to process payment against the credit card or other payment method you have on file.

In addition, upon cancellation or termination of your account, BetterWorks will immediately charge you for all amounts due plus any early termination or other fees you have agreed to. As a Vendor, you may not cancel your credit card or other payment form, or your account, until all fees are paid in full. If we are unable to charge your credit card or other payment form, we may send the charges to collection.

Goods Warranties

The Vendor represents and warrants that the descriptions of the Goods (including without limitation the "regular prices") provided by the Vendor to BetterWorks are accurate and complete, and the Vendor acknowledges and agrees that BetterWorks will provide such descriptions to Members. Improper description of Goods, including quantity, price, delivery times, support, service or any other relevant characteristics of Goods may allow BetterWorks or a Member to refuse payment or acceptance of such item.

Grant of License

As a Vendor, you hereby grant to BetterWorks, during the term of this Agreement, a worldwide, nonexclusive, fully paid license to use your name and any logos, menus, images and descriptions of Goods provided by you (including, without limitation, provided by you in connection with the Vendor Agreement) or images or descriptions we find in the public domain for the purpose of promoting your services and products as well as for promoting the Website and BetterWorks' services. Such use may include, without limitation, posting such materials on our main page or other pages on the Website and including them in our other marketing materials. You also agree that BetterWorks may grant a sublicense to its affiliates and business partners to use such materials for such purposes. You understand that BetterWorks will make such materials available on the Website on your behalf and that such materials will be subject to our Terms of Use, including terms applicable to materials posted on our website by you as a " user."

BetterWorks hereby grants you, as a Vendor, during the term of this Agreement, a worldwide, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable, fully paid license to use BetterWorks' logo and name on your websites and/or corporate literature for the purpose of promoting your services and products as well as for promoting the Website and BetterWorks' services.

Noninterference

Until the later of the termination a Vendor's account and the termination of all of the Vendor Agreements to which a Vendor is a party, and for 12 months thereafter, the Vendor and its employees and authorized representatives will not directly or indirectly, either on the Vendor's own behalf or on behalf of any third party, disrupt, damage, impair or interfere with the business of BetterWorks, including without limitation by way of interfering with the BetterWorks' relationship with, or raiding, Members or other third parties with which BetterWorks does business, or in any manner attempting to persuade, solicit, recruit, encourage or induce any such persons to discontinue their relationship with BetterWorks.

Termination of Vendor Agreements and Accounts

After the completion of any initial offer period set forth in a Vendor Agreement, each of the Vendor and BetterWorks has the right to terminate such Vendor Agreement at any time upon 60 days prior notice to the other party. (For purposes of clarity, such a termination notice may not be given until after completion of the initial offer period, and, accordingly, the earliest that a Vendor Agreement may be terminated pursuant to such a notice is 60 days after completion of the initial offer period.) In addition, in the event either BetterWorks or the Vendor fails to cure a breach of a Vendor Agreement within 30 days after receiving notice thereof, then the non-breaching party may terminate the Vendor Agreement immediately upon notice given following the expiration of such notice period. A Vendor may not terminate its account until all of its Vendor Agreements have been terminated. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if BetterWorks terminates a Vendor's account in accordance with these Terms, it may also immediately terminate the Vendor Agreements to which such Vendor is party. All notices shall be done by default online via our platform unless another written agreement is in place allowing other notice.
