Safety first. As with any cycling or fitness activity, where participation in our Services is no exception, prioritize your physical safety and follow the rules of the road and local laws while cycling. Similarly, before engaging in any physical training exercises or following any nutritional plans that may arise out of your use of our Services, always seek advice from your medical professional and prioritize your wellbeing. Do not engage in or practice any unsafe riding techniques, physical training, or eating behaviors. This also means not posting any Content that demonstrates, promotes, or glamorizes any unsafe actions.
No cheating. Your participation with the Services will abide by fair play, and you will not attempt to game any part of the process to yield better results than you can genuinely perform. Your riding activity on your account and linked devices is generated by you and no one else. This includes but is not limited to having someone else ride with your cycling devices while logged into your account, or manually or programmatically spoofing or editing your riding data. It is in Saga’s sole discretion to review and determine which activities and behaviors are considered cheating, and we reserve the right to disqualify, suspend, or terminate the offending user’s account or their posted riding activity on the Services.
Commitment to sportsmanship. You commit to ethical behavior and general goodwill toward other users on the Services. For example, no trolling or flaming other users, or introducing obstacles and destructions after your completion of the cycling routes. The upkeep of the community’s integrity is shared by each and every user. If you see anyone breaching these Terms in any way, you are encouraged to flag the user on the Services or report the user to us.
No illegal activity. You cannot do anything unlawful or fraudulent while performing any activity on or in connection with the Services.

If you are a resident of California: You waive your rights with respect to California Civil Code Section 1542, which says “a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
The disclaimers, limitations, and exclusions in this section apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Limitation of Liabilities
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER SAGA NOR ANY PARTIES INVOLVED (INCLUDING CREATORS) IN THE CREATION, DEVELOPMENT, MANAGEMENT, PRODUCTION, AND DELIVERY OF THE SERVICES AND ASSOCIATED CONTENT ARE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER AND DEVICES DAMAGE, PERSONAL AND BODILY INJURIES, OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS RESULTING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH (A) YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES AND CONTENT, (B) THESE TERMS, (C) ANY INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS ONLINE OR IN PERSON, OR (D) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY OR USER OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OR CONTENT.
In no event shall Saga’s aggregate liability for any claim or dispute relating to the Services exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100.00). The preceding does not affect any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
If applicable law does not allow for the limitations of liability declared in these Terms, then the above limitations may not apply to you.
Indemnity
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Saga, its affiliates and personnel, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable legal and accounting fees) arising out of or in connection with (a) your use or misuse of the Services and any Content or personal data you access or share via the Services, (b) your activities in connection with the Services (including but not limited to cycling and fitness activities or interactions with other users online or in person), (c) your breach of these Terms, or (d) your breach of any laws or violations of any rights to other persons or entities.
Dispute Resolution
Resolution of Disagreements
Parties shall commit their utmost effort to resolve any disputes, queries, claims, or disagreements by means of direct, honest negotiations. These negotiations shall act as a prerequisite before either party initiates a lawsuit or arbitration. However, disputes pertaining to Saga's intellectual property rights (including but not limited to trademarks, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, patents, and trade dress) or in case you opt out of this arbitration agreement, all disagreements arising from these Terms and your usage of our Services will be conclusively resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS (jamsadr.com), in line with its provisions and procedures for disputes related to consumers, barring any rules or procedures that govern or permit class actions.
The arbitrator, rather than any court or agency, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle all disagreements arising out of or related to these Terms. This includes, but is not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in a court. However, the arbitrator will not have the authority to award damages, remedies, or awards that conflict with this agreement. The arbitrator’s award shall bind the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and Saga expressly renounce the right to a jury trial where permissible. You also agree not to engage in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if Saga is a party to the proceeding. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern this dispute resolution provision. You acknowledge that, without this mandatory provision, you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. You further acknowledge that, in certain cases, the costs of arbitration could surpass the costs of litigation and that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
Waiver of Class Action
Parties agree further that any arbitration will be conducted in their individual capacities only, and not as a class action or other representative action. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver outlined in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision outlined above will be deemed null and void entirely, and the parties will be deemed not to have agreed to arbitrate disputes.
How to Opt Out
You reserve the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class-action-waiver provisions outlined in this section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: Saga One, LLC., Attn: Legal Department, 74 E Glenwood Ave Unit #5453 Smyrna, DE 19977. The notice must include your name, address, phone number, and email address. The notice must also be sent within 30 days of registering to use the Services; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Saga also will not be bound by them. Additionally, if you choose to opt out of these arbitration provisions, Saga may terminate your use of the Services.
Law and Forum Selection
Any action related to the Terms, your content, the Services, and your relationship with Saga will be governed by, construed, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding its conflict of laws principles. IT WILL SPECIFICALLY NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE. Subject to the Section entitled “Resolution of Disagreements”, the parties irrevocably consent to bring any action to enforce this Agreement in the federal or state courts located in the District of Delaware. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts within the District of Delaware. If any party brings any suit or action against another for relief, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of these Terms, the prevailing party will have and recover against the other party, in addition to all court costs and disbursements, such sum as the court may deem reasonable for attorneys’ fees. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the parties agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. The Services are controlled by Saga from its offices within the United States of America. Saga makes no representation that the content or Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Access to or use of the Services and your content from territories where such access or use is illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access the Services from locations outside of the United States do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.
Updates to Our Terms
We reserve the right to revise these Terms at any time for any reason. Some of these reasons include but are not limited to: changing our offerings and business operations, adhering to legal and regulatory obligations, or enforcing and preventing misuse of the Services. If we deem the changes material, we will notify you. Continuing to access or use the Services after changes to our Terms signifies your acceptance of the updated Terms.
