By clicking “I agree to the Terms and Conditions”, the Venue referenced (“you”) hereby accepts and agrees to be bound to these Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”) effective immediately (the “Effective Date”). You and Pound Rockout Workout, LLC, (“Pound”) hereby agree and acknowledge as follows:
- Authorization.The Pound workout (the “Pound Workout”) consists of a fitness class (“Class(es)”) combining elements of music and choreography with the use of weighed drumsticks (“Ripstix”) to achieve a strenuous fitness experience developed by Pound and led by a Pound instructor who holds a valid license to lead Pound classes (a “Pound Pro”) (“Authorized Workouts”). Pound hereby authorizes you to offer the Pound Workout and host Classes at the venue listed above (“Venue”) for the Term in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The foregoing authorization is on a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable basis. Nothing herein or otherwise provided by Pound to you shall operate as a guarantee or implication that you will successfully locate Pound Pros to lead Classes, or generate revenue from the activities authorized by this Agreement.
- Restrictions.At all times during the Term, you hereby agree to use or permit only Pound Pros to lead the Classes. You shall only permit official Pound Ripstix and products (“Authorized Products”) to be used during Classes, and no other products shall be offered or used during Classes. Authorized Products held at your facility shall be used exclusively for participation in the Pound Classes and no other use of such products is approved or may be made. You shall only permit Authorized Workouts to be performed and/or taught during Classes, and no other type of workouts may be offered, performed or taught during Classes. Classes must be offered, performed and taught with, during or in connection with Authorized Workouts. Teaching of Classes without Authorized Workouts is hereby expressly prohibited. Neither you nor any of your agents or employees shall pass on, any express or implied warranty on behalf of Pound to any third-parties.
- Pound Marks.Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Term, Pound grants you and you accept a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-delegable, and non-sublicensable license to use the Pound name, trademarks, trade names, service marks or logos set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto (collectively “Pound Marks”) in connection with the marketing, advertising and promotion of the Classes, Pound Workouts and Authorized Products. Any reproduction and use of the Pound Marks must make use of the specific Pound Mark(s) in exactly the format as such mark appears of Schedule 1 attached hereto.

You acknowledge that there is great value and good will associated with the Pound name and Pound Marks, and that the Pound Marks have a secondary meaning in the mind of the public. You shall use your best efforts to preserve, protect, and enhance the good will and value in the Pound name and Pound Marks. Use of the terms ‘Pound’, ‘Ripstix’, or any derivative of such, in a registered URL is prohibited without Pound’s prior written authorization.
