The Participating Facility will provide SPLITFIT with basic information required for initial set up including but not limited to trainer short biographies, and trainer photos.

the aggregate Session Fee for such SPLITFIT Session;
LESS the Administrative Fee (defined below);

The Participating Facility will not, and will not permit its personal trainers to, accept payment directly from a SPLITFIT User for a SPLITFIT session.
The Participating Facility will not impose additional fees on a SPLITFIT User for the use of its facility before during the SPLITFIT Session unless the additional fee is accepted at the user’s discretion and is for additional professional services (not merely access to the Participating Facility’s equipment, workout areas and locker room).

For the sake of clarity, the Administrative Fee for any SPLITFIT Session will not be less than zero and will not be greater than 30% of the Session Fee.
SPLITFIT is responsible for payment processing (e.g., credit card fees) costs arising from each SPLITFIT User’s use of the mobile payment processing service.

Discounts & Pricing Incentives for SPLITFIT Users:
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. When a SPLITFIT User uses a SPLITFIT Incentive Credit, SPLITFIT will bear the financial responsibility for making sure that the Participating Facility receives the Participating Facility Fee that it otherwise would have received if the SPLITFIT User had paid the full SPLITFIT User Fee.
In limited instances, SPLITFIT will obtain written or electronic consent from a Participating Facility before issuing a discount code that can be used at that Participating Facility (such discount code to be referred to as a “Partner Discount Code”). When a SPLITFIT User uses a Partner Discount Code, SPLITFIT and the Participating Facility will share financial responsibility for the amount of the discount resulting from the Partner Discount Code proportionate to the Participating Facility Fee and Administrative Fee otherwise owed for that SPLITFIT Session. For example, if the Partner Discount Code is for 50% off a SPLITFIT Session Fee, then the Participating Facility Fee and the gross Administrative Fee will both be reduced by 50% for the SPLITFIT Session against which the Partner Discount Code was used.
Other Obligations of the Participating Facility
At your own expense, you must maintain and carry in full force and effect commercial general liability insurance provided to and acceptable to SPLITFIT, with limits no less than $1,000,000 for each occurrence and $3,000,000 in aggregate.
