PRINCIPLE TERMS
This agreement is an agreement between you and us
This agreement commences once you have indicated your acceptance in the in-club or on-line sign up process. If you did not sign up on the club’s premises you have 14 full days after signup to cancel this agreement for any reason. To exercise this right you must inform us of this by post, email or telephone using the details above. If you exercise this right to cancel we will reimburse you all joining and membership fee payments received from you using the same means of payment you used for the initial transaction. If you have used the service before requesting to cancel then we will reduce your membership fee refund by a pro rata amount equal to the number of days from signup to the date cancellation was requested.
Your membership starts immediately unless you choose at the time of sign-up, a start date in the future (not available on all membership options).
You will be entitled to all the rights and privileges exercisable for the Type of Membership chosen, subject to your timely payment of the fees and charges set out below and the successful processing of your direct debit instruction.
