Newsletter subscription can be cancelled at any time via the settings menu or from the link at the end of every newsletter.

2.3 Paid content
In addition to the free program, the Provider offers various paid programs. The User is not obliged to opt in to these services, which would make their training experience even more effective. Users can also opt for paid content as described under 2.4.

Initially, the User has the possibility of choosing a 3-month training program. Following completion of the initial program, the User can select the 6-month or 12-month follow-up program.
The program consists of a training plan as well as program content in the form of emails, PDF documents, video streaming and an online software tool.

The additional chargeable programs provide access to the following additional content:

  • more exercises and workouts,

2.4 Contract conclusion

With the [PAY NOW] button, the User submits an offer to conclude the contract for the selected training program. A confirmation email will be sent as acceptance by the Provider. The contract shall hereby be concluded.
By registering and supplying appropriate bank details or necessary payment information, subscribers grant the Provider a debit authorisation. By issuing debit authorisation, a fee is collected from the subscriber's account. In case of a chargeback for which the subscriber is responsible (e.g. due to insufficient funds in the supplied account), failed debit chargeback fees in the amount of 6.50 EUR shall be collected by the payment service for every chargeback. These chargeback fees shall be passed on by the Provider to the customer. In addition, fines shall be charged in the case of late payments. The subscriber is entitled to prove that no or negligible damage is incurred. In this case, the charge shall be reduced to the proven sum. Outstanding debt shall remain fundamentally unresolved.

The collection is carried out by the payment method selected by the customer, e.g. direct debit or credit card.

3. Costs, contractual period, termination

3.1 The following additional programs are offered on the platform

  • 3-month entry program
  • 6-month follow-up program
  • 12-month follow-up program

The current fees for the respective programs can be found at https://www.muscle-heroes.com/get-pro .

All prices are inclusive of VAT.

3.2 The fee for the initial program is valid for one-time participation. Use ends automatically after the three months. It will not be renewed automatically and does not need to be terminated.
The fees for the follow-up programs will become payable in the specified cycle. The follow-up programs can be terminated from 14 days before the end of each cycle. If no termination notice is given, then the contract duration is automatically extended by the previous contract period. Subscription can be terminated by phone on 08005895405 or by email at info.de@ccsupport.biz . This will be the date of termination.

3.3 This does not affect the legal right to extraordinary termination for good reason. A good reason for termination would, in particular, include false identity given by the customer for contract initiation or breach of material contractual obligations. Such good reason for the Provider in particular would be

  • if the User persistently breached obligations pursuant to paragraph 5 and 6;
  • if the User's credit card or the account cannot be charged or the User payments in accordance with 3.1 are delayed for other reasons; or

if the User provides false, inaccurate or incomplete information about himself, or the Provider has reason to believe that such false or incomplete information has been provided, and the User does not remedy this even after setting a deadline.

As a service Provider, the Provider is responsible for the content available under the offer, in accordance with §7 para. 1 of the German Telemadia Act under general laws. The Provider presents posts and information in good faith, however does not guarantee their accuracy, completeness or timliness. References and links to third party websites do not reflect the Provider's own views. The content does not establish any responsibility on the part of the Provider for data and information contained in other websites. The Provider has no influence over the content behind the link and therefore is not liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content or for damage caused by the use of linked content.

8.6.2 Third-party content
According to the statuatory provisions of §§ 7 to 10 of the German Telemedia Act, the Provider is not obligated and furthermore not in a position to comprehensively examine or challenge the legality of posts uploaded and published by third parties, including posts in the Community, or to monitor or investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. This also applies to links.

8.6.3 Blocking / removing illegal content
Should the Provider receive knowledge of third party infringing content or linked third party websites, the corresponding content/ links will be immediately removed. The Provider reserves the right to block or permanently remove Users from the content made accessible within the Community, including links.

9. Community

9.1 All content (information, text, graphics, photos, questions, suggestions, feedback, news, comments, ideas, recipes, notes, drawings, articles and other materials), which are posted on the website (hereinafter "posts"), is the sole responsibility of the person who created the post.

9.2 The Provider does not guarantee the accuracy, the content or quality of User posts.

9.3 While the Provider allows the transfer of posts within the Community, he acts solely as passive agent and expressly disclaims any obligation or liability in terms of posts or other events in the Community.

9.4 The Provider reserves the right to remove posts and exclude certain Users from using the Community without prior notice; he is however not obliged to remove certain posts that other Users deem to be vulgar or offensive.

9.5. Netiquette: We request that our Users adopt a factual style, a friendly tone, tolerance and respect for other opinions when publishing content and/ or communication with third parties about our offer. To clarify, we point out, however, that the User is legally responsible for their own published content. The User's right to use the Community and to post assumes that the User observes the following behaviours:

  • to make only true and non misleading statement in his profile and in communication with other Users.
  • to ensure that the public reproduction of the photos and pictures  provided by him is permitted within the Community.
  • in particular the User must check whether he has the necessary rights to publish content (here one must particularly think about copyright and the right to their own image) or if posts are otherwise legal (risks that arise here are right-wing, pornographic, racist, abusive, slanderous and defamatory or business harmful content).
  • the following annoying actions are to be avoided, even if they do not concretely violate any laws, e.g sending chain letters; performing, advertising and promoting structural distribution measures, commercial activities or offensive or sexually oriented communication (explicit or implicit).

9.6 If the User does not follow the Community Guidelines mentioned in point 9.5, the Provider is entitled to terminate at his discretion the participation of the User in the Community or to block his access temporarily.

9.7 All contributions to the Community are public and explicitly not private. The Provider reserves the right to monitor the Community to verify compliance with the Community Guidelines.

9.8 When creating posts, the User agrees that the Provider may use the content posted for promotional purposes outside the Community (for example in the form of customer quotes on websites using the first name and image of the User).

10. Data protection and use

On the subject of data protection and data use, please refer to the current data protection policy.

11. Blocking

The seller has the right to exclude a User from accessing registration based content with good reason. This right is given in particular to the Provider if the User continues to violate material provisions of these Terms and Conditions despite a warning; if the User is guilty of misconduct towards a third party, in which he uses the Provider's offer or the payment systems for illegal purposes or to harass third parties.

12. Deletion

The Provider is authorised to delete access and any associated data of the customer after a period of 6 months of inactivity (no login via web browser) and following a query after a period of 4 weeks, as long as the customer has no ongoing paid programs. The customer's Username is then released for use by other customers.

13. Applicable law, amending the Terms and Conditions, miscellaneous

13.1 German law shall apply. For Users who close the contract for a purpose that cannot be attributed to professional or commercial activity (consumers) this choice of law does not affect the mandatory legal provisions of the State in which the customer has his habitual residence.

13.2 The rest of the contract shall remain binding even if individual provisions should prove to be legally invalid. Statutory provisions shall replace ineffective points, if any. Insofar as this would constitute an unreasonable hardship to a party to the contract, however, the contract shall be invalid as a whole.

13.3 The provier is entitled to amend these Terms and Conditions in whole or in part at any time and at his discretion, e.g. to take new or changed services into account. Notice of the amended contract terms shall be made in the Member Area. If the User continues to use the services of the Provider after the notice, this is considered as tacit acceptance of the amended terms. The User is otherwise authorised to object, in writing, to the amended terms within 14 days (email is sufficient). If the User objects to the amended terms, however, the Provider has the right to terminate his account without notice for good cause. If the customer raises objections at the time the changes are announced, he will receive a proper cancellation.

13.4 The Provider is entitled in the context of the amendment of the Terms and Conditions, in the case of the invalidity of a condition, to extend or replace it with applicability to existing contracts; in case of changes to legal provisions or High Court legislation, if one or more conditions of the contract is affected by this change, to adapt the relevant conditions to suit the purpose of the new legal situation, provided that the User is not disadvantaged by the new or amended conditions.

13.5 The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all current and future claims arising from business relations with registered traders shall be the place of residence of 778mobile GmbH. The same place of jurisdiction applies if the User has no general place of jurisdiction within Germany, moves his place of residence or normal abode abroad after conclusion of the contract, or his place of residence or normal abode is not known on the date the legal action is filed. Should any of the aforementioned provisions be invalid or infeasible in whole or in part, the validity of the other provisions shall remain unaffected. The parties agree to replace the invalid or infeasible provision with a provision which most closely approximates the economic purpose of the invalid or infeasible provision. The same applies in the case of a loophole.
