PRIVACY POLICY
FlexFitnessCenter.com is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the users of our Sites. This Privacy Policy is intended to inform you of the guidelines concerning the use of your personal information, including, without limitation, the reasonable efforts we make to protect your personal information in accord with these guidelines, and about what choices you have concerning our use of such information. Please read this policy carefully. We may need to change this policy from time to time in order to address new issues and reflect changes on our Sites. When changes are made, they are posted here to inform you about our policies regarding what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose that information to anyone. Please refer back to this policy regularly. If you have any questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy, please send an email to [email protected] or contact us at: 474 Century Lane, Holland, MI 49423
This Privacy Policy applies to your use of all the sites and services owned or operated by FlexFitnessCenter.com (collectively “we, ” “us, ” or “our”), including Flex Fitness Center’s physical facility, and any other website that we may own or operate currently or in the future (collectively, the “Site” or “Sites”). Unless we say otherwise, all references to the Sites in this policy include all such sites. This policy does not apply to your use of sites to which any of the Sites link. This policy covers only information collected on the Sites and does not cover any information collected offline by us.
Personal Identification Information
We may request personal identification information from you (such as your name, street address, telephone number, credit card number, email address, and/or any other identifier that permits the physical or online contacting of you) in connection with your use of, or participation in, membership registration for FlexFitnessCenter.com, our contests, sweepstakes, promotions, games, surveys, forums, subscription registrations, content submissions, chats, bulletin boards, discussion groups, requests for suggestions, visitors’ requests for free products or services, or additional information (including via email to us), and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on any of our Sites. In all of these cases, we will collect personal identification information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. Except as otherwise provided in this policy, we reasonably endeavor to ensure that we never intentionally disclose any personal identification information about you as an individual user to any third party without having received your permission (through opt-in or similar procedures) except as provided for herein or otherwise as permitted or required under law. Further, we may contact you based on the information you provide online whether in connection with your registration or in such places as the above described forums.
If you provide us with personal information for any of these activities, we may use it to conduct the activity. We may also use cookie technology and Web beacons (discussed in detail below) to improve your experience of these activities, including remembering your preferences, customizing the content and advertisements that you see, or authenticate your access to your personal information. In addition, in the event that your personally identifiable information is requested as part of our surveys, polls or promotions, such personally identifiable information may be added to your registration information.
We may also contact you to confirm your registration and communicate about your account status, as well as regarding changes to the Site’s Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy.
If you give us your permission, we may also use personal identification information for internal or external marketing and promotional purposes. For example, we may send emails to introduce a product or a service that we think might be of interest to the users of our Sites. For us to obtain your permission to send you this information, we will give you an opportunity to “opt-in” at the time our request for your personal information is made. If you do “opt-in,” you may choose to “opt-out” at any time, even after you have provided personal information, by following the procedures set forth below at the end of this Privacy Policy. Please note, however, that under certain circumstances, if you initially do not choose to “opt-in,” or if you later “opt-out,” you may not be eligible for certain benefits for which a name, email address, telephone number or other personal identification information is needed.
We have the following exceptions to these policies: We will release specific information about you or your account to comply with any valid legal inquiry or process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order. We will also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security of the site, or a physical or property threat to you or others. We may also transfer user information, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of related assets or corporate division, or other fundamental corporate change. We may provide access to your personally identifiable information to our contractors who are performing services for us in connection with our site or the services that you have requested.
In addition, on occasion, we may collect personal identification information from you in connection with optional contests, special offers, or promotions. We will share such information with necessary third parties for the purpose of carrying out the contest, special offer, or promotion. Your participation in the contest, special offer, or promotion constitutes your consent to such disclosure and use of such information.
Further, the information you enter when making a purchase or an online donation will be shared with payment processors, financial gateways, and your credit card company to authorize credit card payments. Such information may also be shared with necessary third parties solely for the purpose of carrying out the transactions.
Please note that if you give out personal information online, (for example, on one of our public forums such as a message board or chat room, folder, or chat feature), that information can be collected and used by third parties. Although we strive to protect our users’ privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of information you post in these forums and have no control over how such third parties may use your information. You disclose such information at your own risk.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your information and password. You shall be responsible for all uses of your registration, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your registration or password.
We collect non-personal identification information through the use of, without limitation, the following types of methodology:
- Cookie Technology: A “cookie” is an element of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system.
- IP Address Tracking: An “IP address” is a number that is assigned to your computer when you are on the Internet. When you request pages from our Sites, our servers log your IP address.
- Web Beacons: A “Web beacon,” or “clear gif,” is a small graphic image on a webpage or web-based document that a website can use to determine information about a user.
Non-personal identification information might include the browser you use, the type of computer, technical information about your means of connection to our site such as the operating systems and the Internet service providers utilized, and other similar information. Our systems may also automatically gather information about the areas you visit and search terms you utilize on our site and about the links you may select from within our Sites to other areas of the World Wide Web or elsewhere online.
We use such information for our business purposes, and, in particular, to administer the site, better manage advertising on the site, and, in the aggregate, to understand how our users as a group use the services, features and other resources provided on our Sites. This way we know which areas of our Sites are favorites of our users, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may continually improve our site.
We may share this aggregate statistical information with our partners, suppliers and other third parties, but we will not share any individual names, personal navigational, or other personal information. For example, we may use a third-party advertising company to serve ads when you visit our site. We may share demographic and preference information with this company to allow them to display appropriate advertisements for you.
Further, from time-to-time we contract with a third party web analytics provider to help manage and optimize our Sites. We use this service to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and how visitors use our Sites. To do this, we use Web beacons and cookie technology on the Sites. The type of information we collect includes such information as the number of hits a webpage receives, type of browser used, and number of times a visitor makes a purchase from a particular promotion. By supplementing our records, this information helps us learn things like what pages are most attractive to our visitors, which products and services most interest our users, and what kinds of offers our users like to see. Although this third-party provider logs the information coming from our site on our behalf, we control how that data may and may not be used.
Special rules relating to children
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that we inform parents and legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from children under 13 years of age. Our Sites are not directed at children under 13 years of age but, we recognize that with proper adult supervision some parents might permit their children to visit our Sites and use our online services. COPPA requires that we obtain the consent of parents and guardians in order for children under 13 years of age to use certain features of our Sites.
When your child attempts to register and/or provide personal information to FlexFitnessCenter.com, we require a parent or legal guardian to:
- Register their child by completing the Permission to Participate Form and returning it, by facsimile or postal mail, to us as set forth on the form;
- Review our Privacy Policy and verify that the child’s parent or guardian knows about and authorizes our information practices related to children protected by COPPA; and
- Verify via email confirmation a second authorization that the parent or guardian consents to these Term of Use and Privacy Policy. Send such email authorizations to [email protected].
Once parental notice and consent has been verified, the information we collect will be treated the same as information collected from any other user. Without verified parental notice and consent, we will not knowingly collect personal information relating to children under 13 years of age, and if we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will promptly delete it.
How parents can access their children’s information
In compliance with COPPA, a parent or legal guardian may request from us to review, delete or stop the collection of personally identifiable information relating to their child or any child in their legal custody who is under 13 years of age. You may do so by following the instructions below regarding Access to/Correction of Information. If you request that no further information about your child be collected or used, we will be required to terminate your child’s ability to use any part of the service or feature that requires a user to “sign in.”

REFUND POLICY
Our goal is to make sure you are completely satisfied with the items you order and your experience with FlexFitnessCenter.com. Depending on the reason for the return and the condition of the product, there may be several options available to you.
- If you would like to return an unopened product for any reason, we can either issue a refund to your method of payment, or we can apply an in-store credit to your account that you can use towards a future purchase. The refund issued or in-store credit applied is for the price of the product only and does not include any shipping fees charged for delivery.
- If you would like to return a product that you’ve opened, we will provide an in-store credit for the percentage of product remaining. Any consumption greater than 20% of the original product is not available to be returned. The in-store credit applied is for the price of the product only and does not include any shipping fees charged for delivery.
- If a product you receive is damaged during shipment, arrives after its expiration date, or is not what you ordered, we can send a replacement right away and provide a prepaid return label for our U.S. and E.U. customers to retrieve the item.
- If a clothing item doesn’t fit properly, we’ll gladly issue an in-store credit to your account for a different size, but must charge for the new shipping fee and the return shipping cost.
- If the item you’d like to return was ordered more than three months ago, or if the item was purchased using in-store credit as part of a previous exchange, we cannot accept the return or issue a refund for any reason.
To begin processing any type of return, please contact our Customer Service team and provide your name, the order number, and the reason for returning the product.
To speed up the returns process, please return the product along with a copy of your invoice with “Attention: Returns” on the address label.
When returning an item, we highly recommend using a shipping method that provides step-by-step tracking information to help ensure its safe arrival. We are not responsible for the amount of time it takes for an item to be returned to our facility, or if the item is lost or damaged during the return process.
Once we have received the product and the return has been processed by our warehouse, we can issue the refund or award the in-store credit to your account.
