8. Omnia Personal Training shall never be liable for consequential damage. If despite the provisions in these general terms and conditions liability of Omnia Personal Training nevertheless exists, only direct damage shall qualify for compensation. Direct damage is exclusively understood to mean:

ARTICLE 14. CANCELLATION POLICY

1. Session Cancellation Notice: Participants are required to provide a minimum of 36 hours' notice for the cancellation of a personal training session. The cancellation should be performed via the Omnia Portal or communicated in writing to Omnia Personal Training. Failure to provide the required notice will result in the forfeiture of that session.

2. Membership Cancellation Notice: Participants must provide a cancellation notice for their membership at least 4 weeks prior to the desired cancellation date. The cancellation notice should be provided in writing to Omnia Personal Training. If the cancellation notice is not given within the stipulated timeframe, the participant will be responsible for payment of the upcoming membership fee for the following billing period.

Consequences of Late Cancellation:

a. Session Cancellation: If a participant fails to cancel a personal training session within the required 36-hour notice period, the session will be considered forfeited, and it will not be rescheduled or refunded.

b. Membership Cancellation: In case a participant does not provide the necessary 4-week cancellation notice for their membership, they will be responsible for paying the membership fee for the upcoming billing period. The membership will continue until the end of the current billing cycle, and the cancellation will take effect from the subsequent billing period.

It is important for participants to adhere to the cancellation policy to ensure effective scheduling and allocation of resources. Failure to comply with the cancellation policy may result in financial obligations and the inability to reschedule missed sessions or cancel memberships without incurring additional charges.

ARTICLE 15. MEMBERSHIPS

1. Memberships: A membership with Omnia Personal Training refers to a subscription plan that grants individuals access to the training services provided. The duration of the membership can be selected from options of 4 weeks, 26 weeks, or 52 weeks. The specific duration is clearly outlined in the membership agreement signed by the participant and is also available on the pricing information provided on the website. It's important to note that cancellation of the membership within the agreed-upon duration is not possible, as stated in the membership agreement. In such cases, the membership will continue until the agreed-upon duration expires.

2. It is important to understand that the membership agreement will automatically reactivate at the end of the agreed-upon duration unless a cancellation request is submitted. The process and guidelines for membership cancellation can be found in Article 13 — Cancellation Policy. Participants are advised to review this article for a clear understanding of the cancellation process and any associated terms and conditions.

3. Avalid membership is a prerequisite for scheduling and attending personal training sessions. Participants must ensure that their membership payment is processed and up to date in order to be able to schedule and attend sessions as per their chosen membership plan.

4. Membership Sessions and Session Transfer: The membership agreement specifies the number of sessions available within each 4-week period, and this information is clearly communicated to participants upon signing the contract via the Omnia Portal. It is important for participants to review the membership agreement to understand the specific number of sessions allotted to them during each 4-week period.

5. Transferring unused sessions from one period to the next is not possible. Any unused sessions at the end of the 4-week period will expire and cannot be carried over. It is recommended to make full use of the allocated sessions within each period to maximize the benefits of the membership.

6. However, participants have the flexibility to share their sessions with family members or other individuals when they are unable to attend. This allows for the sessions to be utilized by others and ensures they are not wasted.

7. In the case of longer absences, such as vacations, participants have the option to transfer 50% of their unused sessions to the following 4-week period. It is important to note that this transfer does not happen automatically. Participants must explicitly request the transfer by providing written notice to Omnia Personal Training. The request for session transfer should be communicated in advance, allowing sufficient time for processing and arrangement. Participants are encouraged to communicate any session transfer requests or inquiries regarding unused sessions by providing written notice to ensure proper coordination and utilization of their membership benefits. While Omnia Personal Training allows the transfer of 50% of unused sessions to the next 4-week period in case of longer absences, it is subject to resource availability. While efforts are made to accommodate such requests, it cannot be guaranteed due to limited resources and scheduling constraints. Participants should communicate session transfer requests in advance and maintain open dialogue with Omnia Personal Training to explore available options.

8. Memberships: Achiever, Striver, Explorer

Omnia Personal Training offers three distinct memberships: Achiever, Striver, and Explorer. These memberships differ in their length of commitment, with Achiever having a duration of 52 weeks, Striver having a duration of 26 weeks, and Explorer having a duration of 4 weeks.

Payment for these memberships is made every 4 weeks, aligning with the recurring billing cycle. The specific number of sessions allotted within each 4-week period is defined by the respective membership. Participants are advised to review the pricing page, where any changes to the membership names or conditions are visible. It is essential to carefully consider and understand these changes before committing to a membership.

Omnia Personal Training ensures that any modifications to the names or conditions of the memberships are clearly communicated on the pricing page. Participants should diligently review the pricing page for any updates and changes to ensure they are fully informed about the terms and conditions associated with their chosen membership.

Please note that Omnia Personal Training reserves the right to make changes to the names and conditions of the memberships with prior notice to the participants. It is the responsibility of the participants to stay informed and remain attentive to any updates or modifications that may occur. 

1. Flexible Membership: The Flexible Membership offered by Omnia Personal Training is a package consisting of 10 sessions that remains valid for a duration of 3 months from the date of purchase. Upon payment, participants are granted the right to access and use these sessions within the specified timeframe. It is important to note that all sessions included in the Flexible Membership must be utilized within the 3-month period, and any unused sessions will expire at the end of this duration. Participants are advised to plan and schedule their sessions accordingly to ensure optimal use of the membership benefits. Omnia Personal Training reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions related to the Flexible Membership, including session duration and availability, with prior notice to the participants.

ARTICLE 16. FINAL PROVISIONS

1. All agreements and all legal relationships between the parties arising from them are exclusively governed by Dutch law. 

2. Before appealing to the courts, the parties are obliged to make every effort to settle the dispute in mutual consultation. 

3. Insofar as the law does not compulsorily deviate from this, only the competent court within the district of the place of business of Omnia Personal Training shall be designated to take cognizance of legal disputes.
