IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR HEALTH CLUB MEMBERS
New York State law requires certain health clubs to have a bond or other form of financial security to protect members in the event the club closes. This club has posted the financial security required by law.
YOU MAY ASK A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CLUB FOR PROOF OF THE CLUB’S COMPLIANCE WITH THIS LAW. YOU MAY ALSO OBTAIN THIS INFOR- MATION FROM THE NEW YORK STATE DEPART- MENT OF STATE, DIVISION OF LICENSING SER- VICES, A.E. SMITH STATE OFFICE BUILDING, 80 SOUTH SWAN STREET, P.O. BOX 22001, ALBANY, NY 12231.
PAYMENTS
BeU may offer its customers one-time payment options or installment payment options for its services, as may be specified in specific written offer on-site or offers published online on the website. All one-time payments and already paid installment plan payments shall not be refundable. Any unpaid installment plan payments shall be waived only within BeU’s discretion.
A self-care product purchased at BeU, if not used, returned in unopened original packaging, and returned not later than 25 days from the date of purchase, might be, within BeU’s discretion, exchanged for a full refund of the original price of such returned product.
THIS NOTICE PROVIDES IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PAYMENT OPTIONS
You may make payments on an installment basis or in a single payment. Paying the full amount may be less expensive but may involve financial risks to you. Read this notice carefully before making a decision. New York State law requires certain health clubs to post a bond or other financial security to protect members in the event the club closes.
This club is exempt from this requirement since it gives members the option of paying on an installment basis, therefore it need not post a bond or other form of financial security. In deciding whether to make your payments on an installment basis, you should be aware that if the club closes, although the club will remain legally liable for a refund, you may risk losing your money if the club is unable to meet its financial obligations to members.

GOVERNING LAW
You hereby agree that this Agreement (and any claim or dispute arising in connection with this Agreement or your use of BeU) is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of New York, and waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections thereto.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
You agree in good will that, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement including the documents it incorporates by reference, your use of our Services, your information and content, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, will be decided by negotiation, neutral mediation, and/or neutral arbitration.
Also, by agreeing to this Agreement you are giving up your judicial rights to discovery and appeal except to the extent that they are specifically provided for under this Agreement. If you refuse to submit to arbitration after agreeing to this provision, you may be compelled to arbitrate under federal or state law. Your agreement to this arbitration provision is voluntary.
In the event that the dispute, claim, or controversy is not resolved by negotiations, the matter will be submitted to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), or its successor, for mediation, and if the matter is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration. Nonetheless, legal action taken by us to collect any fees and/or recover damages for, or obtain an injunction relating to, the Platform operations or intellectual property shall not be submitted to mediation or arbitration except as otherwise agreed to in writing by us.
Negotiation. Either party may initiate negotiations by providing written notice in letter form to the other party, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The recipient of such notice will respond in writing within fifteen (15) business days with
a statement of its position on and recommended solution to the dispute. If the dispute is not resolved by this exchange of correspondence, then representatives of each party with full settlement authority will meet in person or otherwise at a mutually agreeable time and place within thirty (30) business days of the date of the initial notice in order to exchange relevant information and perspectives, and to attempt to resolve the dispute.
Mediation. Either party may commence mediation by providing to JAMS and the other party a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting a mediator from JAMS’ panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the mediation proceedings.
The parties agree that they will participate in the mediation in good faith. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or any JAMS employees, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation.
Either party may initiate arbitration with respect to the matters submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial mediation session or forty-five (45) days after the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first. The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if the parties so desire. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the mediator shall be disqualified from serving as arbitrator in the case.
Arbitration. The parties agree that any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement that are not resolved by their mutual agreement by negotiation or mediation shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration before JAMS, or its successor, pursuant to the United States Arbitration Act, 9
U.S.C. Sec. 1 et seq. Either party may commence the arbitration process called for in this Agreement by filing a written demand for arbitration with JAMS, with a copy to the other party. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration.
The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting an arbitrator from JAMS’ panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the arbitration proceedings. The parties covenant that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs.
Enforcement. The terms and results of mediation and arbitration may be enforced by any Court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.
Class Action. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against us and also preclude you from participating in, or recovering relief under, any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against us by someone else.

WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision and does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, you and us nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and that the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
