The fees for the Single Training Session Option or Membership Plan that you select, as well as additional described in the preceding sentence, will be displayed when you checkout (collectively, the “Fees”). If you subscribe to a Membership Plan you will have until the end of the billing period (the one-month period after your subscribing to the Membership Plan and each one-month period starting on the one-month anniversary of your subscription thereafter) (each a “Billing Period”) to complete your pre-selected number of Training Sessions for that Billing Period.

Fees for a Membership Plan will become due and payable as follows: (a) the first payment of the Membership Monthly Fee will be due and payable upon your subscribing to a Membership Plan; and (b) each subsequent payment of the Membership Plan Monthly Fee will be due and payable on the commencement of a new Billing Period. You authorize Rookie to charge your credit card, debit card or other payment method on file in the Account and to collect payment through such method for any and all Fees as they become due and payable. If you desire to designate a different payment method to be charged for future Fees, or there is a change in validity or details with respect to such payment method, you shall update the Account promptly. At Rookie’s sole discretion, pro rata refunds or credits may be granted in extenuating circumstances for Training Sessions that Client did not receive, as a result of specific refund guarantee promotion, to correct any errors made by Rookie, or in the event that Rookie permanently terminates or ceases to offer the Marketplaces Services or terminates your access to the Marketplace Services for any reason other than your breach of these Terms.

14.Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Rookie Parties from and against any and all Losses arising out of, relating to, resulting from or in connection with:

  • (a) your breach or violation of any term, condition, obligation, representation, warranty or covenant set forth in these Terms, violation of any applicable law or violation of the rights of Rookie or any third party damaged by your actions or by the actions of anyone else accessing the Account;
  • (b) any information (including your User Content or any other content) that you submit, post, or transmit on or through the Rookie Platform; or
  • (c) any activity that occurs in connection with use of the Account, your activity and conduct in connection with any Training Session, or your dispute with any other user of the Rookie Platform or with other individuals or entities that you communicate, interact or deal with as a result of your use of the Rookie Platform, including, but not limited to, Clients, Trainers, and other third parties (each of the foregoing for the purposes of this Section 13, a “Claim”).

Rookie shall have the unilateral right to undertake the control and defense and settlement or other disposition of any Claim hereunder with counsel of its choice with all attorney fees and costs paid or reimbursed by you on demand, provided however that (i) you at your own expense may participate with Rookie in the defense of any Claim, and (ii) you shall not stipulate or consent to judgment or settle any Claim without Rookie’s prior written consent. You shall provide Rookie with reasonable cooperation in connection with any such defense.

15.Other Provisions

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section. Rookie’s failure to act with respect to any failure by you or others to comply with these Terms does not waive Rookie’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar failures. These Terms may not be amended by any course of dealing, usage or trade practice. A failure in the Rookie Platform, including, without limitation, the Sites, Content, or any portion or any of the foregoing, cannot be imputed to Rookie if such failure arises by reason of an event of force majeure, such as labor strikes, floods, earthquakes, war, terrorism, or unforeseen acts of god or any other cause, either similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, which is beyond Rookie’s reasonable control and Rookie shall not be deemed to be in breach in its performance of an obligation under these Terms to the extent that such performance is temporarily prevented or delayed as a result of such an event. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy (and, if you are a Trainer, the Terms and Conditions for Trainers), set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and Rookie with respect to the subject matter hereof. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Rookie, and any assignment or transfer in violation of this provision shall be null and void. Rookie reserves the right to seek all remedies available at law and in equity for violations of these Terms, or any other special terms or rules set forth on or through the Rookie Platform, including, without limitation, the right to block access from a particular internet address.
