EGYM is not directly party to the legal relationship between such users and does not assume any obligations or liability in this respect. The arrangement of the legal relationship between users, especially with a personal trainer, is exclusively the responsibility of the users concerned. Notwithstanding this, all users are obliged to comply with their obligations towards EGYM according to these General Terms and Conditions.

A further requirement for installation and use on the user's mobile device is a current and valid user account for the respective App Store and an Internet connection. The contractual relationship of the user with regard to their App Store user account shall be governed exclusively by the agreements concluded between the user and the respective App Store.

3.3 EGYM may further develop the app at any time, as well as extend or change its functionality and issue updates for the app, but shall not be under any contractual obligation to do so. Any updates will be displayed to the user in the app or via the functionalities of the respective App Store.

IV. Final provisions

1. Subject to alterations

1.1 With your consent or if your consent is deemed to have been given in accordance with the following paragraph, we may amend the Terms of Use (e.g. when new functionalities or new EGYM products are introduced).

1.2 If we wish to change the Terms of Use, we will inform you of this at least 6 weeks before the proposed effective date in so-called text form (e.g. by e-mail). If you do not object within 6 weeks after receipt of this notification in text form, your consent to the change is deemed to have been given and the changes will take effect at the announced time. We will point out this consequence separately in the notification.

1.3 Irrespective of the above provisions, we reserve the right to amend the Terms of Use with effect for the future, insofar as essential provisions of the contractual relationship with the user are not affected by this and these amendments are necessary in order to take account of developments (e.g. changes in the legal situation or supreme court rulings, fundamental changes in market conditions leading to a so-called disruption of the basis of the business) which were not foreseeable by us and whose disregard would lead to a fundamental disruption of the contractual relationship.

2. Applicable law / Place of jurisdiction

2.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to contracts between the provider and the user, to the exclusion of the UN Sales Convention. The legal regulations for the restriction of the choice of jurisdiction and for the applicability of mandatory regulations, in particular of the state in which the customer as a consumer has their habitual residence, remain unaffected.

2.2 The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from the contractual relationship between the user and EGYM is the registered office of EGYM, provided that the user is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law.

2.3 The contract remains binding in its remaining parts even if individual points are legally ineffective. In place of the ineffective points, the legal regulations, if any, shall apply. However, if this would represent an unreasonable hardship for one of the contracting parties, the contract as a whole shall become invalid.
