TERMS AND CONDITIONS
- Membership Freezes; Club Closures: Members may freeze their memberships (temporarily suspending usage privileges and dues payment obligations) for up to three (3) months for any reason. If a member becomes disabled during the membership term for more than three (3) months (and such disability is confirmed by a physician), the member may extend the membership contract for a period equal to the duration of the disability. All freeze requests must be emailed to billing@balancegym.com at least seven (7) days before the next billing cycle. Freeze periods do not constitute final thirty (30) days if a member cancels before the end of the agreed-upon term; a 30 day 1 active billing cycle is required in order to cancel a membership. A one-time administrative fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) will be assessed when the freeze is requested. All memberships will automatically restart billing upon conclusion of the requested freeze period.
If the club is closed for more than one (1) month, the club may freeze memberships and add the lost time once services resume, or transfer the membership to another similar health club facility within five (5) driving miles of the club. The choice of remedy is made by the club if the club is at no fault for the interruption of service; if the club is at fault, the choice is made by the member. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, if an act of God (earthquake, pandemic, national emergency etc.), causes the club to close temporarily, the club may provide access to digital or virtual fitness programs or content in lieu of physical access to the Club, in which event the member agrees that (a) such access is available only to members without freezes placed on their accounts, (b) such access is a suitable temporary replacement for in-person access to the club, and (c) the club need not place a freeze or otherwise take any further action with respect to such member’s account (provided, however, that the member may affirmatively place a freeze on the account in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement). If the club closes temporarily (i.e. for more than one month), it shall within fourteen (14) days from the time of the temporary closing provide notice of the date it expects to reopen, which date shall be within a reasonable period of time from the time the club temporarily closes. Except as otherwise required by law, contractual dues obligations will otherwise not be affected unless the club cannot reopen with one (1) year.
