Terms and Conditions Membership
CycleMasters offers services on a membership basis. It provides, among other things, access to fitness videos (‘CycleMasters Content’). The content can be streamed to devices which are connected to the internet, such as certain Smart TVs, Computers, and other (mobile) devices. The CycleMasters Service is offered by CycleMasters B.V., a privately held Dutch company with limited liability, situated on 26, Jan van der Heydenstraat, Bleiswijk, the Netherlands, and registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (Kamer van Koophandel, KvK) under the KvK number: 74468065.
Usage of the CycleMasters services is subject to our Terms and Conditions. When we use the term ‘CycleMasters Service’, we’re referring to the services provided by CycleMasters concerning discovering and watching CycleMasters Content. This includes the website, user interfaces, and all features, reviews, and recommendations. This also includes all content, apps and software connected to our service.

1.1. Your CycleMasters membership will be continued on a monthly basis until it’s cancelled by you. You will need to have access to the internet and own a CycleMasters compatible device in order to use the CycleMasters Service. You will also need to confirm a valid, approved payment method. The payment method may be amended from time to time. When agreeing to the Terms and Conditions, you grant us permission to deduct your membership fees on a monthly basis for the subsequent month via the selected payment method, unless you cancel your membership before the billing date.

2 Free Trial Period
2.1. In some cases your CycleMasters membership will start with a free trial period. The duration of the free trial period for your CycleMasters membership is 7 days, unless indicated differently. This free trial period is meant to offer new and—in some cases—former members the opportunity to try the service.
2.2. In order to prevent abuse of the offer, CycleMasters will determine at its own discretion whether you’re eligible for a free trial period. The applicable criteria may be amended. We reserve the right to retract and to block a free trial period if it becomes apparent that you’re not eligible. Persons who have an existing or a recent CycleMasters membership aren’t eligible for a free trial period. We will be able to determine your eligibility through the data used for an existing or a recent CycleMasters account, such as the device ID or an email address. Restrictions might apply to combinations with other offers.

This takes place on the calendar day on which your paid membership went into effect. In certain cases we’re able to amend the payment date, for example, if we were unable to deduct an amount on a date specified by you or when your paid membership has gone into effect on a day which doesn’t occur in a certain month. On our website, go to the page ‘My Account’ and click on the link ‘Billing Information’ in order to see the payment date.

When you select a payment method, you grant us permission to deduct your membership fees on a monthly basis via the payment method of your choice. You remain personally responsible for any unsuccessful payments. Please note that the monthly billing date may change as a consequence of unsuccessful payments.

By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you agree not to use the service for any public displays such as, for instance, showing the classes or any other CycleMasters Content in a fitness centre.
4.3. The available content and, for example, the number of devices on which you can watch the content, can depend on your geographic location and your chosen type of membership. CycleMasters Content may only be watched in the country where you opened your account and on locations where we offer our services and provided you with the licenced content. Furthermore, the available content is subject to change.
4.4. The CycleMasters Service, which includes the content catalogue, is amended on a regular basis by CycleMasters. We continuously test varying aspects of our Service—among which our website, user interface, promotions and the availability of CycleMasters Content—in order to optimize the user experience.
4.5. In addition to the customary CycleMasters Content online, we also offer certain offline content. You can temporarily download this content on certain supported devices (‘Offline Titles’). Your chosen membership type will determine, among other things, the maximum number of devices which can include Offline Titles, the duration of availability, the number of Offline Titles per device, and the replay period.

For HD content (defined as: a resolution of 720p or higher) a minimum download speed of 5.0 Mbps per stream is required. The starting time for CycleMasters Content depends on various factors, among which, your location, the configuration of your (CycleMasters compatible) device, the selected content and the bandwidth available at that particular moment. Several conditions will influence the image quality of CycleMasters Content, including; the device used, the available bandwidth, the speed of your internet connection, and your location. The same conditions can also restrict the availability of HD-quality. Some content is not available in all image qualities, and not all membership types offer the possibility to watch content in all image qualities. You are responsible for any potential costs incurred to obtain internet access. Please contact your internet provider for more information on the costs of using internet data.
4.8. Updates to the CycleMasters software are required from time to time in order to guarantee maximum user experience. Both the software and the regular updates have been developed by or for CycleMasters and are designed to watch CycleMasters Content on compatible devices.

You agree to receive automatically amended versions of the CycleMasters software and any associated software from third parties. You acknowledge that using the CycleMasters Service might involve software from third parties which is subject to licences of those third parties.
