(ii) purchase Products offered by third parties.
Almax is not a gym, entertainment or recreational venue, fitness studio, wellness studio, or any similar facility, and does not own, operate, manage, or in any way control the Partner Venues. All such offerings are provided solely by the respective referenced Partner Venue or other independent third-party provider, and certainly not by Almax, which neither owns, operates, manages, nor otherwise controls any of the Partner Venues through which such services or offerings are made available. Likewise, Almax does not produce, manufacture, or otherwise design or control the Products offered by Partner Venues or other promotional third-party partners.
Almax is not responsible for the safety, quality, availability, or experience of any Almax Service or any offering made available or provided through it by a Partner Venue or third party, including but not limited to the facility, instructor, or program of services, classes, and Products. You are solely responsible for determining whether any offering provided via the Almax Service or any recommendations available through the Platform and/or the Almax Services or Products meet your preferences and are suitable for you.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release Almax from any liability, claims, actions, lawsuits and/or legal proceedings, costs, expenses, damages, and obligations arising from or in any way related to your participation in or use of the Platform and/or the reservation, attendance, participation in, use or purchase of any Almax Service and/or Product.
Almax does not guarantee the availability of Partner Venues, services, availability or performance of instructors, trainers, etc., experiences, content, inventory, spaces, or other features, or of Products. Their availability may vary and change over time and at any time, including during any subscription cycle. Almax does not guarantee reservations or processing time for bookings. The type, quantity, allocation, and availability of services provided by Partner Venues, as well as the availability or performance of instructors, trainers, experiences, content, spaces, inventory, and other features are determined solely by the Partner Venues and not by Almax. Access to and use of Partner Venues, their instructors, trainers, etc., are subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Partner Venues and/or such third-party service/product providers, including their privacy policies and any other rules or agreements that may apply to them.

These links are provided solely for your convenience, and Almax is under no obligation to review or monitor third-party websites linked to or from the Almax Services, nor does it make any representation or warranty regarding such third-party websites.

Almax bears no responsibility for any information, materials, services, or products obtained through such websites and shall not be liable for any damage arising from your access to these websites. The inclusion of such links does not imply any endorsement, representation, or warranty by Almax regarding any of these websites or the content, services, and/or products provided through them. You agree not to create links to websites from the Almax Services without Almax’s express written consent.

We and our partners store/process personal data such as unique identifiers for ads, content, and analytics — subject to Section 9.
Subscription and Pricing
Almax optionally offers subscriptions through which you can access discounted bookings for Exercise Activities at Partner Locations (the "Subscription Fee"). The Almax Subscription Fee provides access to the Almax Services and Products available on the Platform for the designated subscription period. By subscribing, you agree to pay the applicable Subscription Fee, as determined by Almax from time to time, including any related taxes and charges. To book any Exercise Activity at a Partner Location, you must pay the respective fee required by the Partner Location for the chosen Activity.
A subscription begins on the date you register and pay the Subscription Fee. You must provide a current, valid, and accepted payment method ("Payment Method"), which we will charge for any applicable fees. You authorize us to charge any associated Payment Method if your primary method is declined or unavailable. You remain responsible for unpaid amounts. We reserve the right to update accepted Payment Methods (e.g., debit/credit cards) from time to time. Each billing cycle lasts one (1) month or thirty (30) days ("Subscription Period"). Your subscription will auto-renew monthly and the Subscription Fee will be charged automatically unless you cancel before the next billing date.
You may update your Payment Method by accessing your account settings on our website or mobile app. If a payment fails (e.g., due to expiration or insufficient funds), we may suspend your subscription until successful payment is made. You remain liable for any outstanding amounts. We may continue attempting to charge your Payment Method, including if you attempt to open or reactivate an account. This may affect your billing dates. We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to terminate your access to the Platform if we cannot charge your account.
Almax uses authorized third parties to process your payment data. By submitting your Payment Method, you authorize Almax to store and process your data via such third-party services, which may change periodically. Almax is not responsible for any failure by those third parties to adequately protect your information. Payment matters are governed by the terms of service of those providers. Your issuer may charge fees. Contact your provider for more information.
We reserve the right to change subscription types or pricing at any time, at our sole discretion. Unless stated otherwise, such changes will take effect in the next subscription cycle after notification.
The Subscription Fee includes applicable VAT. You are responsible for any additional taxes, fees, commissions, or charges required by law or third parties. Platform usage carries no additional fee. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled. Renewal pricing may vary, and you will be notified of any changes and given the option to cancel.
By starting a subscription, you authorize us to charge the initial and recurring monthly Subscription Fee at the applicable rate, which may vary. You also authorize us to charge any applicable registration, tax, cancellation, or delay fees. Even if you do not use the subscription or access the Platform/Services, you are liable for subscription fees until canceled or terminated.
Upon subscribing, your first billing cycle will be charged immediately. We may adjust billing times and corresponding charges as we see fit. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled before the renewal date. The renewal date may change due to modifications to your subscription.
Fees (including monthly subscriptions or other charges) are non-refundable unless otherwise communicated. Refunds for bookings are granted only in the following cases:
User cancellations: (i) Canceling at least six (6) hours before the scheduled start grants a full refund credited to your in-app balance, not your Payment Method. (ii) Canceling less than six (6) hours before the start incurs a five euros (€5,00) cancellation fee, with the remainder credited in-app. (iii) Canceling less than one (1) hour before or failing to attend/scan the QR code on arrival results in no refund, and the booking fee is forfeited. Almax may still charge service fees for any accessed services prior to cancellation.
Partner Location cancellations: A full refund is issued to your in-app balance, not your Payment Method.
Refunds must be used within the App, credited to the user’s balance. They are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash. NO REFUNDS OR ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE FOR PREVIOUS MONTHS, including unused services.
You may cancel your subscription at any time via account settings or by contacting us. Your access will continue until the end of the current paid period unless you cancel, in which case access ends immediately. Any pending bookings can still be used before the billing period ends. Upon cancellation or termination, you lose all access and user data will be deleted. Rejoining will require a new account. A reactivation fee may apply, or access may be restricted if you return in future months. Failed payments mean no renewal and loss of any discount privileges.
Bookings, cancellations, and product purchases must be made through the Platform. Booking or canceling directly with a Partner Location (including through their own systems) violates these Terms. If done, we reserve the right to charge you the full Partner Location price and any cancellation fees, or suspend/terminate your subscription.
You may voluntarily suspend your subscription for a set period and restart it at any time. Access continues until the end of your current billing cycle.
Subscription Fees are non-refundable, and no refunds are issued for partial usage. After cancellation, access continues until the current cycle ends. We may, at our sole discretion, offer refunds (in-app only), discounts, or credits, but doing so does not establish a right or obligation for future cases.
Using Almax without a subscription: Non-members may book select Exercise Activities. You will pay the stated fee for the activity, including VAT, any legal taxes, and our service fee, as determined by Almax. Additional charges per booking may apply. These Terms apply equally, and you remain responsible for applicable fees, which may change at any time.
We may adjust any charges at any time. Unless communicated otherwise, pricing changes apply to your next billing cycle following notice via the Website, App, email, or SMS. Continuing your subscription implies acceptance of the new charges.
Accessing a Partner Location incurs fees payable via your Payment Method. In addition to the Subscription and other applicable charges, Partner Locations may charge for equipment, extra services, space use, or other fees, for which you are solely responsible. Almax only facilitates your booking and participation in the activities/products provided by Partner Locations as listed on the Platform.
Payment for booking or participating in an Exercise Activity or purchasing Products will be made to Almax at the time of booking via a digital payment platform (e.g., Stripe) or another method of Almax’s choosing. Payment covers full participation and is non-refundable, subject to exceptions noted above.
Fees for Exercise Activities are set solely by Partner Locations and may change without notice. Almax is not responsible for pricing policies or fees imposed by these locations.

Responsibility of Partner Venues
Your activity at Partner Venues and the use of any offers and/or services provided by a Partner Venue may be subject to additional policies, rules, or terms of that specific Partner Venue. You acknowledge that your use, booking, or attendance of Exercise Activities at a Partner Venue and/or the use, access to, or participation in the services of the Partner Venue may be prohibited if you fail to comply with its respective policies and the use of its Facilities. If you have any questions regarding the waiver of liability or disclaimer applicable to a particular Partner Venue or regarding other policies, procedures, or terms of a specific Partner Venue, please visit the website of the respective Partner Venue or contact the Partner Venue directly.
Indemnification
By using the Almax Services, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, partners, officers, members, executives, and employees from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising in any way from your use of the Almax Services — including, without limitation, the creation, posting, or transmission of any message, information, software, or other material through the Platform and/or the Almax Service by you, or from any violation of these Terms by you (collectively, the “Indemnifiable Cases”). We shall control the defense of any Indemnifiable Case through legal counsel of our sole and exclusive choosing.
Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances shall Almax or its affiliated companies be liable for any loss of profits, lost data, business interruption, or any other direct and/or indirect, civil, criminal, special, consequential, or incidental damages or claims (whether based on contract, tort — including omissions, negligence — or otherwise) arising from or related to the Almax Service and/or the Products, or the use of Partner Venues, their services, or the inability to use the Almax Service, the Partner Venue, its services, or participation in any Exercise Activity booked as mentioned above, or due to the availability of any Partner Venue, Exercise Activity, or program. Users participate in all Exercise Activities at their own sole discretion, responsibility, and risk.
Your sole remedy for any dissatisfaction or complaint with the Almax Services — including, without limitation, the content offered via the Almax Service, your participation in an Exercise Activity, and our products and/or services as described above — is to stop using the Almax Service and Platform. These limitations shall also apply to damages arising from products or services received or advertised via the Almax Service or any links associated with it, as well as from any information or advice provided or advertised in connection with the Almax Service. These limitations shall also apply to damages resulting from any third-party content or the conduct of third parties on or related to the Platform or the Almax Service.
If the above limitation of liability is found to be partially or wholly invalid or unenforceable, Almax’s liability in connection with the Almax Services, under these Terms, regardless of its source or cause, shall in no event exceed the amount paid for the Almax Services via the App during the thirty (30) calendar days prior to the date of the event giving rise to such liability.
As a consumer, you benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you reside (Greece or Cyprus). Nothing in these terms and conditions, including but not limited to Section 15, affects your rights as a consumer to invoke such mandatory local legal provisions. Applicable law may not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for indirect or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. In such cases, Almax’s liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
It is noted that Partner Venues bear sole and full responsibility for the services and/or benefits offered through the Almax Services and for the operation of the Exercise Activities, including but not limited to: (i) ensuring the safety and availability of the required equipment, (ii) providing qualified trainers, and (iii) complying with all applicable legal and health-related rules and regulations.
Dispute Resolution
Please read this arbitration section carefully. The provisions of this section require you to resolve disputes with Almax through arbitration and limit the ways in which you may seek relief from us (the “Arbitration Agreement”). These Terms of Use, including any amendments thereto, are governed by and supplemented, where necessary, by Greek and European Union law, as well as applicable international treaties, and the courts of Athens shall have exclusive jurisdiction. Almax aims to resolve any disputes that may arise from your use of the Platform and/or Almax Services, or from the interpretation and application of these Terms, amicably and out of court. Almax takes all necessary organizational and security measures and implements the most appropriate technical safeguards to provide users with a secure environment, in accordance with applicable legislation. Nevertheless, errors, malfunctions, or interruptions in the website content, or the presence of viruses or other harmful software (malware), either on the website or its server, may occur.
Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms or any additional terms, their breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity — whether past, present, or future — and/or (b) your access to or use of the Almax Services or Products at any time, whether before or after accepting these Terms (collectively, a “Dispute”), except for any dispute or claim set forth in Section 15.9 of this Agreement (an “Excluded Dispute”), shall be exclusively resolved through binding, final, individual arbitration. You acknowledge and agree that both you and Almax waive the right to a trial and the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any class action or representative proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, this Arbitration Agreement does not apply to claims where such waiver is prohibited by applicable law.
The parties agree to arbitrate disputes only on an individual basis. These Terms do not allow class arbitration or the pursuit of claims as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. Unless you and Almax otherwise agree in writing, the arbitration shall be conducted only on an individual basis, not on a collective, class, combined, or representative basis. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING OR ARBITRATION.
The appointed arbitrator, in accordance with the applicable provisions under these Terms, may not consolidate the claims of more than one person and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If the prohibition on class arbitration is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining arbitration provisions shall remain in effect.
Most user requests or complaints can be resolved quickly and satisfactorily by contacting us using the contact details provided in Section 17. You and Almax agree that sincere, informal efforts to resolve Disputes can lead to efficient and mutually beneficial outcomes. Therefore, before either party initiates arbitration (or a small claims court action), both parties agree to meet in good faith by phone or video conference to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally. If you are represented by counsel, your lawyer may participate, but you must also attend. The party initiating the Dispute must send written notice to the other party of their intent to hold a conference. The conference must occur within forty-five (45) business days of receipt of the notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon in writing. Notice to Almax must be sent by email to the address provided in Section 17 and must include: (i) your name, phone number, mailing address, and account-related email address, (ii) your attorney’s contact details, if any, and (iii) a description of the Dispute. This process must be conducted separately for each party, even if represented by the same attorney, unless all parties agree otherwise. No group conferences are permitted unless all parties consent. Informal communications may continue after notice and before the conference. Participation in this conference is a prerequisite for initiating arbitration.
If your complaint or request cannot be resolved by the process above, you and Almax agree that, unless stated otherwise, all Disputes (each a “Claim”) will be resolved exclusively and finally through binding, individual arbitration initiated by either party upon written notice to the other. Arbitration shall be conducted by a tribunal appointed under the provisions of the Greek Code of Civil Procedure (Articles 867–903) and Law 5016/2023, as in force, and according to the Arbitration Rules of the Arbitration and Mediation Center of the German - Hellenic Chamber of Industry and Commerce. These Rules are an integral part of this agreement (the “AMC-GHCIC Rules”), and in case of conflict, the provisions of this paragraph shall prevail.
Unless otherwise provided, you may seek any remedies available under applicable law through arbitration. You and Almax may seek judicial enforcement, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the arbitrator’s award. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitration tribunal shall consist of one (1) arbitrator. This arbitration agreement is governed by Greek law. The place of arbitration shall be Athens, Greece, and the arbitration shall be conducted in Greek. Any arbitration fees and costs will be allocated in accordance with the HGCCI Rules. By entering into this agreement, Almax does not consent to the jurisdiction of any courts other than those allowed under the Excluded Dispute provisions of this section and reserves the right to challenge jurisdiction.
Excluded Dispute. You and Almax agree that the following claims are not subject to binding arbitration: (i) any claim related to or arising from theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; (ii) claims seeking injunctive relief; (iii) claims involving alleged or threatened violation of intellectual property rights; (iv) individual claims filed in small claims court, where applicable; and (v) any claim where arbitration is prohibited by applicable law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if we make any material changes to this Arbitration Agreement in the future, we will notify you, and such changes will not apply to any claims filed before the effective date. However, the changes will apply to all other Disputes governed by the Arbitration Agreement. If you do not agree with the changes, you may close your account within thirty (30) days of the update, and you will not be bound by the amended terms. However, this will not provide a new opportunity to opt out of arbitration if you have previously agreed and not opted out.
If it is determined that the Arbitration Agreement is unenforceable for a specific claim — by arbitrator or court decision, or if you are an international user to whom the Arbitration Agreement does not apply — you agree (unless otherwise provided by law) that any dispute or claim between you and Almax must be exclusively brought before the courts located in Athens, Greece. Both parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Athens courts for such matters.
Except as provided in Section 15.9 “Excluded Dispute,” if any part of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, that part shall be severed and the remainder shall remain in full force and effect.
Statute of Limitations. You agree that any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated within the applicable statute of limitations for such claim or it shall be barred. All applicable limitation periods shall apply in arbitration just as they would in court under the governing law.
Dispute Resolution with Partner Venues. Any dispute regarding the Almax Service and a Partner Venue shall be resolved exclusively between you and the Partner Venue as the sole provider of the Exercise Activity services.
Miscellaneous
Applicable Law. These Terms, including any amendments, are governed and supplemented, where necessary, exclusively by Greek and Community law, as well as by relevant international treaties, and the exclusive jurisdiction lies with the courts of Athens, subject to the provisions in Section 15 above. Almax consistently aims for any disputes that may arise from the use of the Platform and/or Almax Services or the interpretation and application of the Terms to be resolved amicably and out of court. For this reason, in case you, as a user/member, detect any problematic element or information from a legal and/or ethical point of view on the website's content, please inform us promptly via the link provided in Section 17 (email). Almax, through its designers and administrators, undertakes every possible action towards the development, updating, and improvement of the services provided and the website in general. All necessary organizational and security measures are taken, and the most appropriate technical protection mechanisms are applied to the content to provide as secure an environment as possible for users, in compliance with applicable legislative provisions. However, there is always the possibility that errors/malfunctions/interruption in the website's content may occur or that viruses or other harmful software (malware) may appear on the website or on its server.
Assignment. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms. Almax may, at any time and for any reason, transfer or assign this Agreement and the obligations contained within it to a third party without limitation. By this, you accept and agree that if a third legal entity acquires ALMAX I.K.E., our business, or its assets, the transaction may include the sale or transfer of user content, and you agree to this transfer without any further action or confirmation.
Waiver. The omission and/or failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed or interpreted as a waiver of such right or provision, nor will it affect in any way our right to enforce the same provision at a later time. An explicit waiver by Almax of any provision, condition, or requirement of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of your obligation to comply with the same provision, condition, or requirement at a later time.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is inactive or deemed illegal, invalid, or for any reason unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the invalidity of that provision will be separated from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Acknowledgment and Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that Almax will suffer irreparable harm if the provisions, agreements, and conditions of these Terms are not executed in the manner specified and set forth, and therefore, you expressly, irrevocably, and unconditionally agree that we have the right, without guarantee, other security, or proof of damage, to seek appropriate equitable remedies for any breach of these Terms, in addition to any other remedies that may be available under applicable laws.
Titles – Headings. References to headings and/or titles of sections and/or paragraphs in these Terms are made solely for convenience and do not constitute part of these Terms or this Agreement and are not considered to limit or affect any provision of them. The word "including" means "including without limitation."
Entire Agreement. These Terms and any additional Terms, as they may be modified according to the provisions herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Almax regarding the subject matter of this agreement.
No Relationship of Independent Contractor, Partnership, Joint Venture, or Employer-Employee. No kind of action, regardless of form, arising from or in any way related to these Terms, may be initiated by you after twelve (12) months from the acquisition of the cause of that action. All notices and other communications under these Terms must be in writing and will be considered properly delivered when received. You may send notices to us via email at hello@almaxcollective.com
