Services provided by bellicon+

bellicon+ offers users access to video training courses with bellicon trampolines on the website. In addition, bellicon+ provides a database on the website, where users can find trained trainers for private training with trampolines.

After a free registration, a user can first conclude a free trial subscription on the website and then purchase paid subscriptions with different terms for the use of the video database, watch training videos (max. 10 per day) or find a qualified bellicon trainer.

bellicon+ offers users, who wish to become a bellicon trainer, the opportunity to take part in paid trainer courses.

Furthermore, bellicon+ offers a free app (for Android and Apple) for download in the App-Store. The app is only used to retrieve and play the content posted on the website. Registration with bellicon+ and the conclusion of a subscription or other contracts are not available via the App and must be carried out on the bellicon+ website. Only after registration on the website and purchase of a (paid) subscription, the user will be able to use the app without restriction and, in particular, to play the training videos or education videos via the app or find a certified bellicon trainer.

Registration on the Website, Required Age

To be able to purchase a subscription and watch training videos and thus use the app to its full extent, the user must first register and create a user account. The user is asked to create a nickname and an individual password. He/She undertakes to keep the password secret and for his/her own protection not to disclose it to third parties. Until the registration process has been completed, the user will be able to correct the entries continuously using the usual touchscreen, keyboard and mouse functions. Before completing the registration process, the user must also accept these Terms of Use as well as an instruction on his/her own responsibility when repeating the exercises.

After initial registration, the user receives an e-mail with a confirmation link. The customer account will only be activated after the confirmation link has been clicked. A registration that a user does not confirm within one week by clicking on the activation link can be deleted by bellicon+.

Upon confirmation of registration by the user, a contract on the use of the website (hereinafter referred to as the "contract of use") is concluded between bellicon+ and the respective user. bellicon+ confirms the conclusion of the contract of use to the user by e-mail and sends him/her the conditions of use. There is no entitlement to the conclusion of a contract of use.

Registration on the website and use of the services of bellicon+ is only permitted to natural persons with unlimited legal capacity. Minors may not register with bellicon+.

Each user may have only one account; a transmission of the account is not possible.

The user has the possibility to provide further information and in particular to upload a profile photo. If the user wishes to order a paid subscription, he/she must choose one of the payment methods offered on the website and enter all relevant information for the payment. The data provided will be stored in his/her user account.

Subscriptions

After completing the registration, each user initially acquires a free trial membership for 7 days.

To order a video subscription, the user selects the desired duration. The user then has the option to bindingly order the subscription by clicking the "Buy" button. Receipt and confirmation of the order are communicated to the user via email, and he/she receives instructions on how to cancel, as well as these terms and conditions.

The user has the option to cancel his/her subscription during the trial membership. If the subscription is cancelled during the trial membership, the user will not be charged any fees; otherwise, the payment becomes due.

A user can choose from different subscriptions with different durations and prices. The paid subscription can already be ordered during the trial period. This does not shorten the trial period.

The duration and the respective prices of the subscriptions can be found on the website and will be announced to the user before the purchase. The prices are including VAT.

All subscriptions are limited to 10 videos per day.

Voucher cards

Users have the possibility of redeeming voucher cards previously purchased in the bellicon online shop by means of a code on the bellicon+ website. The requirement for redeeming the voucher card is the existence or opening of a user account.

The voucher cards are used to purchase months of membership. This means that the voucher card is not for a specific amount of money, but for a specific number of months of membership for participation in the bellicon video courses. If the user redeems the voucher card during the trial membership, the voucher card thus extends the free use by the months of membership acquired with the voucher card. If the voucher card is redeemed as part of an existing paid membership, the next debit date will be postponed according to the months of membership purchased.

A refund of the voucher amount or a payment will not take place.

The voucher card is transferable. bellicon+ can make payments to the respective owner with discharging effect. This does not apply if bellicon+ has knowledge or grossly negligent ignorance of the non-authorization, legal incapacity or lack of authorization to represent the respective owner.

The risk of accidental loss, destruction or illegibility of the voucher card is transferred to the purchaser when handed over. bellicon+ is not liable for lost or stolen voucher cards or for voucher cards used without authorization.

bellicon Trainer-Education

In addition, users have the opportunity to be educated as bellicon trainers with various focal points by means of paid video trainer courses. Each offered course covers only one focus and can only be booked separately. The various trainer courses are listed and described on the website. The trainer courses build on each other. Before a follow-up course can be completed, all courses preceding this course must have been successfully completed.

For the participation in the video trainer courses a previous registration is necessary (see paragraph 3). The price for the trainer course will be announced to the user before ordering the course. The user selects the desired trainer course and a payment method shown on the website and then has the option of bindingly ordering the trainer course by clicking the "Buy" button. The user will be notified of receipt and confirmation of the order by e-mail and will receive a Cancellation Policy and these Terms of Use.

After successful completion of the trainer course, the trainer is listed in the bellicon+ trainer database. Other users can view the profile of the bellicon trainer and, if necessary, contact him/her to arrange private training, for example. Any agreements take place without the participation of bellicon+.

Payment

The price for a subscription is due in advance for the entire duration (prepayment).

Payment can be made using the payment methods indicated on the website. If a user defaults on his/her payment obligations, bellicon+ may claim damages in accordance with the statutory provisions.

bellicon+ always issues an invoice to the user, which is sent to him/her by e-mail.

Duration and Termination of Subscriptions

A subscription can be purchased for 1 month or 12 months. Subscriptions are valid for the duration of the selected term, beginning on the day following the end of the trial subscription.

Unless otherwise agreed, a subscription is automatically renewed for the originally agreed contract period unless terminated by either party before the end of the contract period. This does not apply to the trial subscription, which always expires after 7 days without renewal.

Termination is possible at any time without notice at the end of the agreed duration.

The right to extraordinary termination for serious reasons remains unaffected.

Any cancellation must be made in writing, e.g. by e-mail.

Liability

bellicon+ endeavors to keep the video platform always ready for operation, but bellicon+ accepts no liability for damage incurred by a user in the event of temporary unavailability of the website or in the event of other technical problems.

bellicon+ does not owe any particular training success. If certain possible training successes are presented on the website, in the individual training videos or elsewhere by bellicon+, these always depend on age, physical condition, personal disposition, regularity of training and other individual circumstances from the sphere of the user and can therefore not be guaranteed for the individual case.

Participation in the video courses (i.e. repetition of the exercises shown in the videos) is at the user's own risk. By registering and participating in the video courses, the user assures that he/she is not aware of any health problems that could constitute a risk for him/her or lead to health impairments as a result of participating in the course. bellicon+ recommends that users who are not sure about this should consult their physician in advance. This applies in particular if, for example, the user has been previously injured, if there are other pre-existing diseases or indications of a possible pregnancy. The instructions and references in the videos are not intended to replace medical advice.

It is in the user's own interest to ensure that his/her trampoline is properly constructed and stable before the start of training. Users who are alcoholized or under the influence of drugs or medications may not participate in the training courses.

The liability of bellicon+ for damages is to the maximum extent permitted by the applicable law excluded. This does not apply to damages which are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by bellicon+, for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health which were caused intentionally or grossly negligently by bellicon+. bellicon+ is not liable for the fault of vicarious agents.

Intellectual Property

Know-how acquired in the courses may only be used by the user for his/her own private purposes and may not be passed on to third parties. The information of third parties is reserved exclusively for certified bellicon trainers who have been educated for this purpose. In particular, users are prohibited from publishing their own videos of the exercises made available via bellicon+ in social networks or on other platforms.

Layout of the bellicon+ website and the App is protected by copyright. The same applies to all works contained therein such as logos, texts, writings, illustrations, and photos as well as the videos. The respective authors reserve all rights to their works. If there is no legal basis for permission, any publication, duplication, distribution or other use or exploitation of the copyrighted or trademarked works or signs not approved by the respective copyright holder is prohibited.

General Obligations, Indemnification in the Event of Infringements

However, should bellicon+ become aware that a user is violating these Terms of Use or legal regulations, the illegal content will be immediately removed or access will be blocked.

Only the user is responsible for the fact that he/she has all rights concerning the contents published by him/her and that thereby no rights of third parties are violated. By posting content and photos, each user irrevocably and free of charge grants bellicon+ the unlimited right to use and exploit the content provided by him/her on the website. Any other use of the content transmitted by the user is only permitted with the user's consent. Under no circumstances do contents represent the opinion of bellicon+ and bellicon+ does not adopt them as its own.

Each user commits himself/herself not to use the website to publish contents or to transmit messages which:

  • are immoral, pornographic, racist or otherwise objectionable in any way,
  • are unobjective or intentionally untrue,
  • violate the rights of third parties, in particular copyrights,
  • otherwise violate any applicable law or constitute a criminal offence,
  • contain viruses or other computer programs that may damage software or hardware or interfere with the use of computers,
  • surveys or chain letters or camouflaged advertising, or
  • serve the purpose of collecting and/or using personal data from other users, in particular for business purposes.

If bellicon+ becomes aware of a violation of the above provisions, bellicon+ reserves the right to change or delete the published content. Every user is obliged to inform bellicon+ immediately if there are indications that his/her access has been misused. In principle, each user is liable for all activities carried out using his access and indemnifies bellicon+ against any claims for damages by third parties, unless the user is not responsible for the misuse.

The user is obliged, unless he/she is not responsible for any fault, to indemnify bellicon+ at his/her own expense from liability, to hold it harmless and to defend it against all claims, actions or lawsuits of third parties against bellicon+ or its legal representatives or vicarious agents, as well as against all associated obligations, damages, settlements, penalties, fines, costs or expenses (including court fees, reasonable attorneys' fees and other negotiation costs) incurred by bellicon+ or its legal representatives or agents as a result of or in connection with any breach by the user of these Terms of Use or any applicable laws or regulations in connection with the use of the website. In such a case, bellicon+ shall inform the user in writing of such claims, actions or lawsuits. The user must participate as extensively as possible in the defense against all claims.

Blocking and Termination

bellicon+ may take the following measures if there are concrete indications that a user is violating legal regulations, the rights of third parties or these Terms of Use, or if bellicon+ has any other justified interest, in particular for the protection of other users:

  • Warning of users,
  • Provisional, partial or definitive closure.

bellicon+ may definitively exclude a user from active use of the website (final block) even if he/she has given false information when registering, if he/she causes considerable damage to other users or bellicon+ or if there is another important reason.

As soon as a user has been temporarily or permanently blocked, he/she may no longer use the website with other user accesses and may not re-register. An account that has been suspended cannot be restored and there is no entitlement to restoration.

bellicon+ reserves the right to take legal action in any case.

The amended Terms of Use will be sent to users by e-mail at least two weeks before they come into effect. If a user does not object to the validity of the new Terms of Use within four weeks of receipt of the e-mail, the amended Terms of Use shall be deemed to have been accepted. bellicon+ shall separately inform the users of the significance of this period in the e-mail containing the amended Terms of Use.
