ZIN LICENSE AGREEMENT
ESPAÑOL
This Membership and License Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into between Zumba Fitness, LLC (“Zumba”), and you (“Instructor”), as of the date Instructor completes the Instructor Licensing Program (“Effective Date”). Upon Instructor’s completion of the Instructor Licensing Program, Instructor shall automatically become a Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN™) Member and be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Zumba and Instructor are referred to singularly herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
Zumba owns certain word trademarks and service marks, including Zumba®, Let It Move You™, Party in Pink™, and certain trademarked logos, all associated with its Zumba program, music, clothing, footwear and accessories, such logos being attached as Exhibit A (the word and logo marks are collectively referred to as the “Zumba Marks”).
Zumba also owns certain word trademarks and/or service marks, including Zumba Gold®, Zumba® Toning, Aqua Zumba®, Zumba® Kids and Kids, Jr., Zumba® Step, and Zumba® Gold-Toning, as well as certain trademarked logos, all associated with its specialty Zumba® program, such trademarked logos being attached as Exhibit B (the word and logo marks are collectively referred to as the “Zumba Specialty Marks”). The Zumba Marks and Zumba Specialty Marks are collectively referred to as the “Marks”.
Zumba also owns original works of authorship used in association with the Marks, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic and other works within the meaning of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101, and the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (“Zumba Copyrights”). Zumba has taken all steps necessary to protect the Zumba Copyrights, which are valid, subsisting and in full force and effect.
Zumba uses the Marks and Zumba Copyrights (the Marks and Zumba Copyrights are collectively referred to as the “Zumba IP”) on or in connection with services in the field of dance-fitness (“Services”). Trademarks and/or service marks, including ZIN™ and/or incorporating ZIN™ or the “Zumba Instructor Network” (collectively, the “ZIN Marks”) are used to indicate ZIN Membership. ZIN Membership is open only to individuals; a business, organization, or other entity, including, but not limited to, a gym, cannot qualify for a ZIN Membership.
In consideration of the foregoing, the mutual promises set forth below, and Instructor’s membership in the ZIN program, the Parties agree as follows:
-
Grant of License. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Zumba grants Instructor a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license, without warranty, (i) to use the Zumba Marks to promote and teach Instructor’s Zumba classes and approved Zumba events, and to use the ZIN Marks to identify Instructor as a ZIN Member (“License”); and (ii) following completion of a specialty licensing program, to use the Zumba Specialty Marks associated with that specialty (“Specialty Mark License”) (e.g., following completion of a Zumba Gold® licensing program, Instructor may use the Zumba Gold marks to promote and teach his/her Zumba Gold® classes).
1.1. Territory. The License and Specialty Mark License are not valid in any country to which the U.S. restricts trade or in any country where exercising rights hereunder would violate any local law, regulation or ordinance. For more information, please visit ZIN Home.
1.2. Term. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for indefinite successive one (1) month periods (or such other time periods as Instructor selects from time-to-time) unless or until this Agreement is terminated by Zumba or Instructor cancels his/her membership or places his/her membership “on hold” in accordance with Zumba’s cancellation/on-hold policies (“Term”).
1.3 Affiliation. Any use of the Zumba IP including, but not limited to, the use in connection with a domain name, website, social media page, blog, email address, electronic materials or communication, printed materials or communication, or otherwise, must be made in accordance with this Agreement. Such use must not imply an association or affiliation with any third party, including, but not limited to, an implied affiliation with any other brand, organization or company, and/or with any individual not licensed under this Agreement. Where Instructor wishes to use the name, logo or marks of any third party in connection with the use of the Zumba IP, Instructor must obtain the prior approval of Zumba in advance of any such proposed use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Instructor may use the business name, trade name and/or trademark of a gym or facility where a Zumba class or approved Zumba event is being held, so long as such use is subordinate to the Marks and the use is permitted by the gym or facility.
1.4. Disparagement. Instructor must not, in connection with the use of the Zumba IP, make any unsavory remarks or comments and/or create any materials or content which Zumba determines, in its sole discretion, dilutes, disparages, or is otherwise detrimental to the Zumba IP, the Zumba brand or the goodwill associated therewith. Instructor agrees to promptly comply with any instructions from Zumba, including, but not limited to, the removal, deletion or withdrawal of such remarks, content or materials.
1.5. Ownership of the Zumba IP. Instructor acknowledges that Zumba owns all right, title and interest in the Zumba IP and that he/she will take no action inconsistent with Zumba’s ownership of the Zumba IP. Instructor agrees that Instructor’s use of the Zumba IP inures to the sole benefit of and is on behalf of Zumba. In that regard, Instructor agrees that Zumba shall own any and all live performance copyright rights in and to any Zumba classes or events taught by Instructor, including any copyright rights in the filming, recording, streaming, uploading or reproduction in any way of such classes or events. Instructor further agrees that nothing in this Agreement gives Instructor any right, title or interest in the Zumba IP other than the right to use the Zumba IP as permitted in this Agreement. Instructor agrees that he/she will not contest Zumba’s right, title and interest in the Zumba IP, the validity or enforceability of the Zumba IP, or the validity of this Agreement. Instructor agrees that he/she will not register or attempt to register any trademark, service mark, copyright, trade name, business name and/or business entity that incorporates in any way the word Zumba and/or any of the other Marks, designs or any derivations thereof, nor will he/she assist any third party in doing so.
-
Subscription Fee. Instructor must pay Zumba a subscription fee in an amount to be set by Zumba from time-to-time (“Fee”), each and every month during the Term. The Fee is subject to change at any time, at Zumba’s sole discretion. Zumba reserves the right to establish, revise, modify or amend its billing practices, methods and fees, including, without limitation, its collection practices, payment practices, and fees for content or services provided on its website(s). Instructor agrees to accept notice of any such changes by way of the changes being posted on the ZIN home page accessible on www.zumba.com (“ZIN Home”). Instructor’s failure to timely make any payments due under this Agreement is a material breach permitting Zumba to immediately cancel Instructor’s ZIN Membership benefits and/or terminate this Agreement.
2.1. Third Party Payments. Zumba accepts payments of the Fee from third parties, such as gyms, facilities or individuals. It is Instructor’s sole responsibility to ensure that the Fee is timely paid each month, regardless of whether the Fee is paid by Instructor or by a third party. A third party paying the Fee on behalf of an Instructor may, at any time, contact Zumba directly to cancel payment of the Instructor’s Fee. In the event the third party cancels payment of the Fee, it is the sole responsibility of Instructor to ensure that any current and future Fees are paid in a timely manner. Zumba will make a reasonable attempt to inform Instructor, by way of an email to the email address provided by Instructor in his/her ZIN Registration Form or as updated by Instructor through his/her profile on ZIN Home, of the cancellation of payment by the third party. Zumba is in no way responsible for making any further attempts to contact Instructor in this regard and accepts no liability for any loss or damage, including termination of this Agreement, suffered by Instructor as a result of non-payment of the Fee.
- Use of ZIN Materials By a Third Party. This Agreement is between Zumba and the Instructor, regardless of whether the Fee is paid by the Instructor or a third party. All ZIN materials distributed to Instructor as a result of this Agreement are the property of Zumba and the Instructor. Any other use or distribution of such materials is strictly prohibited, including, but not limited to, the use of such materials by a gym, facility, or individual who makes one or more payments of the Fee on behalf of Instructor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, gyms and other facilities hosting Instructor’s Zumba classes and/or approved Zumba events may make use of marketing and promotional materials that are made available to such third parties by Zumba in its sole discretion.
- Use of Third Party IP Rights. Instructor must not include third party intellectual property rights in materials promoting Instructor’s Zumba classes or approved Zumba events without the prior written approval of Zumba. However, use of the name or mark of the gym or facility where a Zumba class or approved Zumba event is being held is permitted if subordinate to the Marks and the use is permitted by the gym or facility.
-
Proper Use of the Marks. Instructor agrees to use the Marks only in the forms shown in Exhibits A and B, including adhering to the correct colors, fonts, stylization, proportionality and other elements of the Marks. Instructor must follow the guidelines provided by Zumba, and always use the appropriate trademark symbol (® or ™) with each use of a Mark. Instructor agrees to follow all instructions, requests and/or demands made to Instructor by Zumba concerning Instructor’s use of the Marks and/or the Zumba IP. Instructor must use its best efforts to use the most current versions of the Marks as provided by Zumba.
3.1. Used Under License Language. Instructor must use the following “used under license” language on all materials, printed or electronic, which bear one or more of the Marks:
Zumba®, [insert other Marks, i.e., Zumba Gold®, Aqua Zumba®] and the Zumba logos are trademarks of Zumba Fitness, LLC, used under license.
3.2. Quality Standards. Instructor agrees that the nature and quality of Instructor’s marketing and services using the Marks must conform to the standards set by Zumba (a) in the Instructor Licensing Program; (b) in the Instructor Licensing Program manuals; (c) at ZIN Home; (d) in any brand use guidelines provided by Zumba; and (e) in this Agreement. Instructor further agrees to cooperate with Zumba in facilitating Zumba’s control over the nature and quality of Instructor’s marketing and services using the Marks, to permit observation of Instructor’s Zumba classes or approved Zumba events, to promptly comply with all instructions from Zumba, and to supply Zumba with evidence confirming compliance with this Agreement upon request.
3.3. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Instructor must comply with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances in the country, state and locality in which Instructor is teaching Zumba classes and approved Zumba events and obtain all appropriate government approvals pertaining to marketing, advertising, or providing Instructor’s services, including any applicable requirements for the instruction of children.

3.6. Domain Names. Instructor may use “Zumba” or one or more of the Zumba Specialty Marks, for which Instructor is licensed, as part of Instructor’s domain name for a website that promotes only Instructor’s Zumba classes, approved Zumba events and related, but subordinate, Zumba clothing and accessory sales. For example, www.zumbagoldbyjennifer.com is an acceptable domain name for an Instructor named “Jennifer” who is licensed to teach Zumba Gold® classes and whose website, under this domain, promotes only her Zumba classes, approved Zumba events and approved, related Zumba activities. Instructor may not, at any time, register a domain name containing, in whole or in part, any of the other Marks. Registration and/or use of a domain name must adhere to the terms of this Agreement, including the following:
(a) Competing Services/Goods. Under a domain name containing the ZUMBA mark, Instructor must not sell, offer for sale, advertise or promote any services or goods except Instructor’s Zumba classes, approved Zumba events and related, authorized Zumba goods and activities.
(b) Transfer of Domain Names to Zumba. In the event Zumba determines it has a need or desire, in its sole discretion, to own a domain name registered or operated by Instructor that incorporates in whole or in part any of the Marks, Instructor must, at Zumba’s request, immediately transfer such domain name to Zumba. Zumba may reimburse Instructor for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, which Instructor has paid to the Registrar for registration of the domain name. Zumba will not reimburse Instructor for any costs incurred in designing Instructor’s website, creating marketing materials, or any other costs incurred in connection with the domain name.
(c) Identification of ZIN Member. Instructor must be identified in the domain name WHOIS listing as the Registrant of any domain name used by the Instructor that contains, in whole or in part, any of the Marks.

In the case of group pages, all Instructors must be ZIN members and all ZIN members must be identified in a conspicuous location on the page. This Section 3.7(f) also applies to social media pages created and/or used for events. Any Instructor Facebook page created on or before December 15, 2011 is exempt from this Section 3.7(f). Such exemption requires that Instructor lists in the “About Me Section” Instructor’s legal name, as it appears on www.zumba.com, and a link to his/her profile or personal zumba.com website.

For example, such fundraising events can be identified under the name Zumba® Class Fundraiser, Zumbathon® Charity Event, Zumbathon® Event, etc. The Zumbathon mark is considered a Mark hereunder for this limited, charity event-related use, so long as Instructor has sought and obtained approval from Zumba. Activities using the Zumbathon mark must be conducted in accordance with applicable laws. Instructor is responsible for the handling of and proper disbursement of all fundraising related to the charity event. Zumba reserves the right to prohibit instructor from using the Zumbathon mark, and/or any of the other Marks, in connection with any fundraising activities that Zumba determines, in its sole discretion, is in conflict with the terms of this Agreement or is otherwise inconsistent with Zumba’s business objectives or interests.

-
Restricted Use of the Marks and Zumba IP. Instructor acknowledges that Zumba may use, or license others to use, the Zumba IP in connection with various goods and services. Instructor has no right to use and must not use the Zumba IP for purposes of promoting any workshop, training, instruction, choreography session, or other activity, program, company, or product/service except Instructor’s own Zumba classes or approved Zumba events. Instructor must not use any Zumba IP to identify a gym, workout facility, business or trade name, or any other type of facility, program or product, except as expressly authorized herein, without the prior written approval of Zumba. Zumba reserves the right to remove any content posted on the Internet and/or otherwise used by Instructor that violates Zumba’s rights in and to the Zumba IP.
4.1. Never Modify the Marks. Instructor agrees to use the Marks in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to refrain from modifying the Marks. For example, Instructor must not (i) refer to a class as, by way of example only, “Zumba Core”, “Zumba Glutes”, “Zumba Warrior”, or “Zumba for seniors”; or (ii) change the spelling of the Marks, such as, by way of example only, using the phrases “Zumbarific” or “Zumba-mania.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Instructor is permitted to modify and/or repurpose any official Zumba wear and accessories for Instructor’s personal use only. Modification and repurposing includes, but is not limited to, the cutting, alteration or destruction of an official Zumba wear product from its original intended use and form into a different use or form. Permitted modification and repurposing expressly excludes the application or combination of any Zumba product or portion thereof, whether bearing the Marks or not, to any other non-Zumba branded merchandise or products. Instructor is prohibited from offering for sale, selling, or distributing modified and repurposed Zumba wear and accessories.

4.7. Videos/Recording. Instructor is prohibited from filming, recording, streaming live video, creating DVDs or reproducing in any manner Zumba classes, or otherwise imitating Zumba/ZIN choreography or music. For example, Instructor is prohibited from offering Zumba® classes over the Internet (including, but not limited to, through a subscription service, on-demand or by way of a live stream). Zumba videos, CDs and DVDs are fully protected under the U.S. copyright laws, and any unauthorized duplication, exhibition, distribution or other use without the express prior written approval of Zumba is strictly prohibited.

4.9. Program Names. Instructor may only use the program names for which Instructor has a License to teach.

5.1. For Cause. Zumba has the right to immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Instructor in the event of Instructor’s breach of any provision of this Agreement or as a result of any action or conduct by Instructor that Zumba deems detrimental to the Zumba IP, the Zumba brand or the goodwill associated therewith.

Instructor agrees to cooperate with Zumba in enforcing and protecting the Zumba IP.
-
Interpretation and Enforcement. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with the laws of the U.S. and the State of Florida. Instructor agrees that any legal action arising from or relating to this Agreement must be brought in a state or federal court located in Broward County, Florida.

Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between Zumba and Instructor is that of licensor and licensee, respectively. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative or employment relationship between the Parties, nor shall Zumba be deemed to be acting in a fiduciary capacity with respect to Instructor. Instructor has no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on behalf of Zumba or to otherwise act for or bind Zumba in any manner.
