Terms and Conditions

Section 1: General Terms

Vanklas (the “Licensed Application”) is a fitness classes discovery platform. Section 1, General Terms, applies to all users of the Licensed Application.

1. License

You are granted permission to use the Licensed Application, but it is not sold to you. Your use is subject to the terms of this license, and Vanklas retains all rights not specifically given to you. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Licensed Application.

2. Scope of License

The license provided to You by Vanklas for the Licensed Application is a non-transferable right to use the application on any device that You own or control. For Apple users, this usage must also comply with the Usage Rules outlined in Section 9.b. of the App Store Terms and Conditions (referred to as the “Usage Rules”). This license restricts You from using the Licensed Application on devices You do not own or control, and prohibits distribution or making the application available over a network where it could be accessed by multiple devices simultaneously. You are not permitted to rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the Licensed Application. Additionally, You may not copy (except as explicitly allowed by this license and the Usage Rules), decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code, modify, or create derivative works of the Licensed Application, its updates, or any part thereof (except where such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law or permitted by the licensing terms of any open-source components included in the Licensed Application). Any such actions would violate the rights of Vanklas and its licensors and may result in legal consequences, including prosecution and damages. This license also applies to any upgrades provided by Vanklas that replace or enhance the original Licensed Application, unless a separate license accompanies the upgrade, in which case the terms of that license will apply.

3. Consent to Use of Data

You acknowledge and agree that Vanklas may collect and use personal and technical data, along with related information. By using the Licensed Application, you confirm that you have read and understood the Vanklas Privacy Policy (which is incorporated into this agreement by reference and available within the Licensed Application) and consent to the collection and use of your data as outlined therein. If you do not accept all terms of this agreement, including those in the Vanklas Privacy Policy, you must not use the Licensed Application.

4. Termination

This license remains in effect until terminated by either you or Vanklas. Your rights under this license will automatically end without notice from Vanklas if you fail to comply with any of its terms or the intent of this license, or if your actions create potential legal risks for Vanklas. Upon termination, you must immediately stop using the Licensed Application and destroy all copies, whether full or partial, of the application.

5. Services – Third Party Materials

The Licensed Application may provide access to Vanklas and third-party services (referred to collectively and individually as "Services"). Using the Licensed Application may require internet access, and you agree to comply with any additional terms of service that apply to these Services.

By using the Licensed Application, You acknowledge that you may encounter content that could be considered offensive, indecent, or objectionable. This content may include explicit language or unintentional links to such material generated through searches or URLs. You agree to use the Licensed Application at Your own risk, and Vanklas will not be liable for any offensive, indecent, or objectionable content you may encounter.

The Services may display, include, or provide access to content, data, information, applications, or materials from third parties ("Third Party Materials") or links to third-party websites. Vanklas is not responsible for evaluating or ensuring the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, validity, legality, decency, quality, or copyright compliance of such Third Party Materials or websites. Vanklas does not endorse or assume any liability for third-party Services, Materials, or websites, which are provided solely for Your convenience.

Location data provided by the Services is intended for basic navigation purposes only and should not be relied upon in situations where precise location information is critical. Vanklas and its content providers do not guarantee the availability, accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of location data displayed by the Services.

You agree that the Services contain proprietary content, information, and materials protected by intellectual property laws, including copyright. You are not permitted to use this proprietary content in any way except as allowed by the Licensed Application. Reproduction, modification, distribution, or creation of derivative works based on the Licensed Application is prohibited. You also agree not to use the Licensed Application in any unauthorized manner, including for harassment, abuse, stalking, threats, defamation, or infringement of others rights. Vanklas is not responsible for any such misuse by you or for any offensive, threatening, or illegal messages or transmissions you may receive while using the Licensed Application.

Vanklas does not guarantee that these Services or Materials are appropriate or available for use in your location. If You choose to access them, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for complying with applicable laws, including local laws. Vanklas reserves the right to change, suspend, remove, or disable access to any Services at any time without notice. Vanklas may also impose limits on the use of or access to certain Services without liability. In no event will Vanklas be liable for the removal or disabling of access to any Services.

6. No Warranty

You expressly acknowledge and agree that using the Licensed Application is entirely at your own risk. The responsibility for the quality, performance, accuracy, and effort required to use the application lies solely with you. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Licensed Application and any related services ("Services") are provided "as is" and "as available," with all faults and without any warranties of any kind. Vanklas disclaims all warranties and conditions, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement of third-party rights.

Vanklas does not guarantee that the Licensed Application will be free from interference, meet your requirements, operate without interruption, or be error-free. Additionally, Vanklas does not warrant that any defects in the Licensed Application or Services will be corrected. No oral or written information or advice provided by Vanklas or its authorized representatives will create any warranty. If the Licensed Application or Services prove to be defective, you are solely responsible for all costs associated with servicing, repair, or correction.

Note that some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on statutory consumer rights, so the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Vanklas shall not be liable for personal injury or any incidental, special, indirect, or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or other commercial damages or losses, arising from or related to your use or inability to use the Licensed Application, regardless of the cause or legal theory (whether contract, tort, or otherwise). This applies even if Vanklas has been informed of the possibility of such damages. Please note that some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on liability for personal injury or incidental and consequential damages, so this restriction may not apply to you. In no event shall Vanklas’s total liability to you for all damages (except as required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed twenty Canadian dollars (CAD$20.00) or the equivalent in your local currency. These limitations will remain in effect even if the stated remedy fails to achieve its essential purpose.

Section 5: Code of Conduct

This Code of Conduct outlines acceptable forms of expression and identifies content that may be reported and removed. Vanklas reserves the right to remove any individual or organization from the Vanklas community if we determine that you have violated this Code of Conduct.

1. Violence and Threats

Safety is Vanklas's highest priority. We will remove content and may report to law enforcement if we detect a real risk of physical harm or a direct threat to public safety. You must not make credible threats against others or organize acts of real-world violence. Individuals or organizations with a history of terrorist, violent, or sexual criminal activities are not allowed to use Vanklas. You are also prohibited from promoting, planning, or celebrating any actions that cause—or could cause—financial harm to others, including theft or vandalism.

2. Self-harm and drug abuse

Vanklas takes threats of self-harm extremely seriously. We do not allow any content that promotes or encourages self-mutilation, eating disorders, or the abuse of hard drugs. Additionally, Vanklas prohibits the promotion or encouragement of performance-enhancing drugs unless supported by appropriate medical, health, and safety licensing, advice, and guidance.

3. Bullying and Harassment

Vanklas has a zero-tolerance policy for bullying or harassment. While we encourage open expression, we thoroughly review all reports of abusive behavior directed at private individuals. Repeatedly targeting other users with unwanted messages or network requests is considered harassment and is not permitted.

4. Hate speech

Vanklas prohibits hate speech but distinguishes between serious and humorous expression. We do not allow individuals or groups to attack others based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or medical condition.

5. Responsible Content Sharing

When sharing content, we expect users to act responsibly. Graphic images shared for sadistic purposes or to celebrate or glorify violence are not allowed on our platform.

6. Explicit Content (Nudity and Pornography)

Vanklas enforces a strict policy against sharing pornographic or explicitly sexual content. We also restrict the display of nudity on our platform.

7. Authentic Identity and Privacy

On Vanklas, users connect using their real names and identities. You must not share others' personal information without their consent. Pretending to be someone else, creating a false presence for an organization, or maintaining multiple accounts harms the community and violates Vanklas's terms.

8. Respect for Intellectual Property

Before sharing content on Vanklas, ensure you have the right to do so. We expect you to respect copyrights, trademarks, and other legal rights.

9. Regulated Goods

Transactions involving regulated goods are not allowed on our platform. If you post an offer related to firearms, alcohol, tobacco, or adult products, you must ensure compliance with all applicable laws and carefully consider the audience for such content.

10. Phishing and Spam

We prioritize the safety of our members and work to prevent any attempts to compromise their privacy or security. We also ask that you respect our members by not contacting them for commercial purposes without their consent.

11. Reporting Violations

Your safety and enjoyment of Vanklas are our top priorities. If you encounter content that you believe violates our Code of Conduct or Terms of Use, please report it to us. While reporting content does not guarantee its removal, every report is reviewed by a member of our team—a real person. All reports are handled anonymously, meaning the user you report will not be notified that you reported them. To report a user, you must specify which part of our Terms of Use or Code of Conduct they have violated. Please review the list and the relevant sections in our Terms of Use to fully understand how we define and interpret these breaches.
