The Beta App User Agreement (aka “The Boring Bit”)

This is the only dull bit of our mobile app (the “App”) (promise!), but we like to think of it as lifting for your brain (#NoPainNoGain). Seriously though, it is important that you look through these terms properly as they determine how you can/cannot use the App and your relationship to Gymshark. You won’t be able to use the App unless you agree to these requirements.
So - if you are happy- click “agree” to confirm that you have read and understood these terms and that you agree to be legally bound by them. If you do not agree to these terms - you are going to have to miss out on using our App and you need to delete it from all your devices.

You will of course have to comply with your other programs terms with other providers too!

Neither you nor we will have any remedy in respect of any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that are not set out in these terms.

13.4 We are not responsible for third party websites. The App may have links to other independent websites that are not provided by us. These sites are not controlled by us and we are not responsible for and have not checked and approved their content or their privacy policies (if any!). You will need to use your own independent judgment about whether to use such sites, including whether to buy any products or services offered by them.

13.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps in respect of your breaking this contract that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

13.6 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact the alternative dispute resolution provider we use. You can submit a complaint to the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (“CEDR”) via their website at http://www.cedr.com/idrs. CEDR will not charge you for making a complaint and if you are not satisfied with the outcome you can still bring legal proceedings.
