  • SplitFit will unilaterally implement various pricing incentive programs to encourage user adoption that may include loyalty credits, discount codes or the like (each to be referred to as a “SPLITFIT User Incentive Credit”)that can be used for a SPLITFIT Session at any Participating Facility without prior consent from that Participating Facility.
