The services offered by Zumba Fitness, LLC (“Zumba” or “us” or “we” or “our”) include all websites, applications, toolbars, widgets, or other distribution channels we may, from time to time, operate for purposes of offering the SOMMOS platform (the “Platform”) and any other features, content, services or applications offered, from time to time, by us, or by third party service providers related thereto (collectively, the “Services”). These Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) set forth legally binding terms for your use of the Services. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. By browsing, creating or using the Services you are agreeing to this Agreement, and this Agreement along with any other guidelines we may post from time to time, such as our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use (the “Guidelines”) will govern your use of the Services. If you do not agree to this Agreement or any of the Guidelines, you must cease use of the Services. You represent that you are fully able and competent to enter into this Agreement and you agree that the terms “you” and “your” as used herein refers to you, your company or legal entity.
Teaching virtual classes using the Services generally requires you to have a public performance license with one or more of the Performance Rights Organizations located in the country in which you are teaching. Each country has their own Performance Rights Organization(s) (PROs) and the license is generally not too expensive. If you are already paying for a performance rights license (to teach in-person classes), this license may also cover your virtual classes — please contact the Performance Rights Organization(s) in your country to confirm. Failure to obtain all necessary public performance rights could result in you facing liability for, among other things, copyright infringement.
Zumba DOES NOT host any video on demand classes; rather, if you wish to offer video on demand classes you must post them as ‘unlisted videos’ on YouTube. Please be advised that you are solely responsible for obtaining all rights, including all music licensing rights, necessary to create and post your video on demand class as an ‘unlisted video’ on YouTube. Failure to obtain all necessary rights could result in you facing liability for, among other things, copyright infringement.
You understand and acknowledge that if you schedule a class through the Services that you must join the class at the scheduled time. If you fail to appear, you are solely responsible for reaching out to all participants who signed up for the class and for issuing refunds.
You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing any person or entity by reason of any Content streamed and/or otherwise disseminated by you to or through the Services, including any and all public performance and other music licensing fees, if applicable.
You understand, acknowledge and agree that Zumba may remove any Content made available by you to or through the Services at any time and for any reason without prior notice or warning to you.
Zumba provides the Services on an “as is” and “as available” basis. You acknowledge that your use of the Services is at your own risk and that you must provide your own device and internet access. Your use of the Services could be impacted by your Internet service.

These terms apply to the names, email addresses, and student goals, of student’s who signed up for Your online classes through the Platform (“Student Personal Data”) and agreed to allow Zumba to collect and share this Student Personal Data with You, the Instructor.

Without limiting the foregoing, You agree to promptly comply with any student request pursuant to Article 16 (Right to rectification), Article 17 (Right to erasure), or Article 18 (Right to restriction of processing) of the GDPR that relates in any way to the Student Personal Data.

In the event You suffer any actual or suspected data breach (including any unauthorized access or use) with respect to the Student Personal Data, You shall notify Zumba without undue delay and the parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in taking such measures as may be necessary to notify affected individuals, comply with each party’s obligations under Applicable Privacy Law, and mitigate or remedy the effects of such data breach.

The Services contain proprietary content that is owned by Zumba and/or its third-party licensor(s) and is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property rights and laws in the United States and around the world (the “Proprietary Content”). Zumba and/or such third-party licensor(s) owns and retains all rights in and to the Proprietary Content and the Services. Zumba hereby grants you a limited, freely revocable, non-sublicensable license to use the Services solely for your personal use, so long as such use is made in strict accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. All the intellectual property rights in the ZUMBA Content and Zumba technology, which does not include your Content, are owned by Zumba or its third-party licensor(s).
We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions you may have about Zumba or the Services, but you understand that we may use any suggestions you provide to us without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).

By granting these licenses, you waive any so-called “moral rights” that you may have. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a license “condition” applicable to Zumba; rather, any breach of a term by Zumba hereof shall give rise to, at most, a claim for breach of contract only.
If you are using the Services to teach dance, fitness and/or exercise programs that are not owned by Zumba (e.g., Zumba® and STRONG Nation®), you represent and warrant that you have the right to teach those classes using the Services. Moreover, it is recommended that you have an insurance policy that covers the dance, fitness and/or exercise programs you are teaching, including the programs you are teaching using the Services.

THIRD PARTY CONTENT AND INTERACTION; THIRD PARTY SITES
You understand that by using the Services you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, objectionable, or indecent, and that you use the Services at your own risk.

You release Zumba, its officers, directors, employees, agents and successors from claims, demands and damages of every kind or nature arising out of or related to any disputes with other users and third parties. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” And, if you are not a California resident, you waive any applicable state statutes of a similar effect.

Zumba expressly disclaims responsibility for the accuracy, quality, legality, nature, availability or reliability of Third-Party Content linked to by or through the Services.

You shall not hold yourself out contrary to the terms of this Section and Zumba shall not become liable by any representation, act or omission you may make contrary to the terms hereof. You agree to comply with all policies applicable to Zumba and the Services. In addition, you agree to comply with all applicable laws. The failure of Zumba to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should try to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect. Your accounts are non-transferable. The parties are independent contractors with respect to each other. You may not delegate your duties under this Agreement or assign this Agreement, in whole or in part. Zumba may assign this Agreement in whole or in part in its sole discretion without your consent and without notice. Any unauthorized use of any Zumba computer system is a violation of this Agreement and certain federal and state laws, including without limitation the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. Section 1030, et seq.). Such violations may subject you and your agents to civil and criminal penalties. This Agreement, including links to any third-party provider terms and conditions, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Zumba and governs your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements (whether written or oral) between you and Zumba regarding the subject matter hereof. Zumba will not be liable for any delay or failure caused by (a) acts of God/natural disasters (including hurricanes and earthquakes); (b) disease, epidemic, or pandemic; (c) terrorist attack, civil war, civil commotion or riots, armed conflict, sanctions or embargoes; (d) nuclear, chemical, or biological contamination; (e) collapse of buildings, fire, explosion, or accident; (f) labor or trade strikes; (g) interruption, loss, or malfunction of a utility, transportation, or telecommunications service; (h) any order by a government or public authority, including a quarantine, travel restriction, or other prohibition; or (i) any other circumstance not within Zumba’s reasonable control, whether or not foreseeable (each a “force majeure event”). In the event of a force majeure event, Zumba shall be relieved from full performance of the contractual obligation until the event passes or no longer prevents performance.
