1. GENERAL
The following terms are applied between the person (the “Member”) who purchases the BLX Membership in the BLX app and BLX. The member hereby enters into a ”Membership Agreement”.
In addition to the Membership Agreement, the Member is also bound by the general terms and conditions in force at any given time and special terms that may apply to other services and offers at any time. These terms are available on our website.
BLX offers membership with a subscription with a certain term ”Subscription membership” and without a subscription (pay-per-use) ”PPU membership”. Membership is signed through a purchase of a BLX service that provides access to BLX facilities.
Membership in BLX is not linked to the Swedish Climbing Association and should not be confused with membership in a climbing association.
A purchase is personal in the sense that only the person who is to become a member can sign the agreement via the app, in addition to what is stated in section 2.2.
The following terms are an integral part of all the Membership Agreements regardless, but some points may be irrelevant for membership without a subscription and are therefore listed as ”PPU membership” or ”PPU member” versus ”Subscription member” or ”Subscription membership”. Where nothing is stated, all Members and Memberships are meant.
