FINANCIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Membership term
 

• All monthly membership subscriptions are for an initial period of three months. The ‘initial period’ is the full three-month period from the 1 st of the month after the date you made your membership application, together with the part of a month.
• Annual membership subscriptions are non-refundable once paid.

Membership renewal

• All direct debit memberships will automatically renew each month until notice is given as below.

Cancelling your membership

• After the initial period, you can cancel your membership by giving a minimum of one months’ notice.
• Notice must be given in writing either in person or by email.
• Your notice is not effective until we have received it. We strongly advise that when you give notice you get proof that we have received it. For example:
• If you send us notice by post, send it by recorded delivery (we will have to sign the delivery notice when we receive it);
• If you hand your notice in at your club, ask for a receipt; or
• If you send us your notice by email, ask for a delivery receipt.

Fees and Subscriptions

• Membership prices will be reviewed annually and we reserve the right to amend pricing during the year. We will always provide no less than one months’ notice for any changes in membership prices.
• Members who choose to pay by direct debit will be notified in writing of any change in the monthly subscription price and will be given a minimum of one months’ notice.
• Membership prices include VAT at the prevailing rate and may vary if the rate of VAT changes.
• Discounts applied to subscriptions will be monitored and automatically removed if you no longer qualify for them. We will notify you in writing with at least one months’ notice of this change.

If you do not pay your membership fee when it is due

• If you do not pay your membership fee when it is due, we will write to you and let you know. If you are paying by direct debit, we will try to take this payment from your account again later in the month. If that is unsuccessful, but your direct debit instruction is still in force, we will try to take payment again in the following month for the payment you have missed and the amount due for the current month.
• We may refer any missed payments, including any future payments that are due as part of your contract (for example, payments you owe for the rest of an initial period or notice period), to a debt collection agency. If you fall behind with your membership payments for more than 30 days, we will charge you an administration fee of £75. We will also charge an administration fee of £15 for each missed payment.
• If you do not pay for your membership, we may prevent you and any linked members (adults or children) from entering any club. This does not mean we will end your membership. Cancelling your direct debit does not mean you have given us notice to end your membership. You must give us written notice.
