Your recurring dues billing will begin on [firstinstallmentdate] and will continue on the same day each month thereafter until you properly cancel per the terms of this Agreement.

TERM MEMBER: I understand that my Agreement is for a fixed initial term and that, unless I provide [locationname] with a written notice of cancellation at least 30 days prior to the end of my initial term, my membership will automatically roll over to a month-to-month agreement cancellable at any time by me with a 30-day advance written notice.

By signing below, I am authorizing ClubReady, LLC (“ClubReady”), a third-party billing company located at 14515 N.

ALL RESCISSION NOTICES MUST BE MADE IN WRITING AND DELIVERED IN PERSON OR SENT BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL TO: [locationname] [locationaddress].

CANCELLATION RIGHTS. [SAMPLE – NOT REQUIRED] After expiration of the three-day rescission period, you may cancel this Agreement only if you qualify as follows:
(a) You die or become permanently disabled. If, by reason of death or permanent disability, you are unable to receive all services for which you contracted, then you or your estate may cancel this Agreement without penalty and receive a pro rata refund, where applicable, for any prepaid sums. A "permanent disability" means a condition which completely prevents you from using the facilities. [locationname] reserves the right to have your permanent disability verified by a physician. [locationname] shall retain the value for services already provided prior to your death or the onset of permanent disability. [locationname] shall retain the value for services already provided prior to your death or the onset of permanent disability.
(b) You move. If you move more than 25 miles from your original club of enrollment, and [locationname] is unable to transfer your membership to a comparable facility within 25 miles of your new residence, then you may cancel this Agreement without penalty and receive a pro rata refund, where applicable, for any prepaid sums.

TERMINATION OF RECURRING DUES MEMBERSHIP. If you are a M2M member, you may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing [locationname] with a 30-day advance written notice. There is no early termination fee for a M2M membership. If you are a Term member, unless you rescind or cancel your membership as stated in this Agreement, then your membership cannot be cancelled until the expiration of your fixed initial term. To avoid rolling over into auto-renewal, you must provide [locationname] with written notice of cancellation at least 30 days in advance of the expiration of the initial term. If your membership auto-renews, you may cancel at any time without penalty by providing [locationname] with a 30-day advance written notice.

REFUNDS. If you properly rescind or cancel your membership, [locationname] will “turn off” the EFT/ACH draft on your account and you will not be charged a penalty or early-termination fee. Any refund due, if any, will be paid to you within the time prescribed by state law.
