TERMS AND CONDITIONS

MEMBERSHIP
The membership fee and any other fees are payable in advance by each member (irrespective of actual use of the gym) either by cash, debit/credit card or direct debit agreement. If you wish to pay monthly by direct debit, these fees are collected on the 1st of each month, or the nearest working day thereafter, and membership is automatically renewed each year. Your monthly direct debit subscription will be collected on the first working day of each calendar month. Your monthly direct debit membership fee is a full calendar month regardless of the actual collection date. Members must be a named account holder of the account to be debited and be the only person required to authorise debits. If your Bank fails to make a direct debit payment from your account when due, unpaid Direct Debits will be reclaimed on or just after 10th of relevant claim month without prior written or verbal notice. An administration fee up to 25 may be charged for each failed direct debit payment. Members will be refused entry if outstanding payment issues are not settled and any payments outstanding 30 days after becoming due are liable for immediate recovery by lawful means. Membership may be refused or rescinded with good reason at the discretion of the management at any time and admission to METX Fitness premises may also be refused to any member or their guest at the discretion of the management. Membership is personal to the member and may not be assigned, transferred, sold on or otherwise dealt with and members who misuse or lend their membership card to third parties will have their membership rescinded without a refund. Membership fees and other fees are reviewed periodically and may be varied by the management without notice.

Cancellation of membership payable by direct debit must be in writing or email to METX Fitness providing one full calendar months notice e.g. written notice received on or before 31 December will terminate membership on 31 January and written notice received during January will terminate membership on 28 February. Notwithstanding the cancellation fee you remain liable for one calendar months subscription during the notice period. Cancelling your direct debit instruction for the monthly fee or a verbal instruction to any member of staff is not sufficient. Proof of postage requesting cancellation, hand delivered letters countersigned/photocopied by METX Fitness staff or e-mail are the only criteria accepted as confirmation of cancellation in the event of a dispute. No member of staff is authorised to give verbal confirmation of termination of membership. 1

Membership cards must be returned to METX Fitness when your notice is given. Annual/short term fees paid in advance cannot be refunded under any circumstances.

The fee will be collected in place of your usual direct debit payment or in advance for fixed term memberships. It is the responsibility of members to cancel the direct debit mandate after the final payment has been received. METX Fitness will not be held responsible for payment issues arising more than 60 days from the effective cancellation date. A member who terminates their membership will have no claim to any refund of their charge(s).
