OTHER WAYS A MEMBERSHIP CAN END.

If the Club doesn’t keep its end of the deal: I understand that I can cancel my membership by written notice if the Club breaches any of its obligations under this agreement and has not remedied that breach within a reasonable time after I have given the Club a written request that the Club do so. No fees will be applicable for canceling in accordance with this clause apart from, to the extent not impacted by the Club’s breach, the joining fee, membership fee for the time that I have been a member calculated on a pro-rata basis and any outstanding fees for other services already supplied to me.

I understand that I can cancel for medical reasons: I am able to end my membership by telling the Club in writing if I cannot exercise for the remainder of the Agreement’s term due to my death, illness or a physical incapacity and I or my estate produce supporting documentation to the Club’s reasonable satisfaction. In that event, I will only be charged the joining fee, membership fees for the time I have been a member calculated on a pro-rata basis and any outstanding fees for other services already supplied to me.

If my membership is no longer convenient: Otherwise, I understand that I can end my membership during the Minimum Term with immediate effect at any time by simply telling the Club in writing. The Club understands that circumstances change and so I do not need to give any reason. I understand that the Club will consider any request to transfer my membership and may agree to the transfer at the Club’s reasonable choosing subject to satisfaction of reasonable eligibility conditions and my payment of the transfer fee. The Club will never charge a cancellation fee if it agrees to a transfer to someone who is not currently a member and they have paid the standard joining fee. In any case if my membership ends during the minimum term under this paragraph, I agree that I will be liable for the joining fee, membership fees for the time I was a member calculated on a prorata basis, any outstanding fees for other services already supplied to me and, except as mentioned above, the cancellation fee for MinimumTerm or Pre-Paid Memberships. The cancellation fee applied will be calculated at 25% of the monthly fees remaining after the notice period. All refunds will be by credit or direct deposit into a nominated account – there are no cash refunds.

When can the Club end my membership? In addition to any other rights the Club has under this Agreement, I understand that the Club can terminate my membership by written notice to me if I fail to act in accordance with any obligation under this agreement or any other agreement between me and the Club and, if capable of remedy, I do not remedy the failure within a reasonable time of the Club giving me written notice requiring me do so. However, I Acknowledge that the Club will not seek to end my membership in this way if I have failed to make a payment and the Club is also in breach of a material condition of this Agreement. If the Club cancels this Agreement under this paragraph I agree that I will be liable for the joining fee,membership fees for the time I was a member, the cancellation fee and any other fees payable for further fitness services already supplied. I acknowledge that on rare occasions the Club May cancel a membership by written notice to the member without the need to give a reason .If the Club cancels my membership under this paragraph I agree that I will only be liable for the membership fees for the time I was a member and any other fees for other fitness services already provided. I acknowledge that no cancellation fee will apply and the Club will refund my joining fee together with the sum of $50. I agree that this payment is my sole entitlement to compensation for cancellation of my membership under this paragraph.

I understand that I am liable for all financial obligations until that date. I accept that the Club Owner also reserves the right to terminate my membership for any reason not stated above if not prohibited by law.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

I acknowledge that the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) contained in the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (CCA) provides certain guarantees insections 60 to 62 (statutory guarantees) which generally require that services supplied to me: are rendered with due care and skill; are reasonably fit for any purpose which I, either expressly or by implication, make known to the Club and might reasonably be expected to achieve a result I have made known to the Club; and are supplied within a reasonable time (when no time is set). Permitted exclusion: However, I acknowledge that the CCA permits a supplier of recreational services to ask me to accept some limitations on those statutory guarantees. 

Accordingly, to the extent permitted by section 139A of the CCA, I acknowledge and agree that the Club excludes all liability to me for death or injury resulting from a failure by the Club to comply with any statutory guarantee. In the previous sentence, “injury” means: physical or mental injury (including the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of such an injury);the contraction, aggravation or acceleration of a disease; or the coming into existence, the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of any condition, circumstance, occurrence, activity,form of behaviour, course of conduct or state of affairs in relation to me that is or may be harmful or disadvantageous to me or the community, or that may result in harm or disadvantage to me or the community.

State based notices (SA and VIC Clubs only): I understand that prior to using the Club, I will be asked review the ACL Exclusion Notice which contains complementary information about the statutory guarantees and the limitations that the Club is allowed to place on me. These are without prejudice to the limitations contained in this clause.General exclusions: Please note that nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any term, condition, warranty, guarantee, right or remedy (including under a statutory guarantee)which cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified. Otherwise, and except as expressly included in this agreement, all implied terms, conditions, warranties, rights or other additional obligations that can be lawfully excluded are excluded from this Agreement. In particular, but subject to the preceding paragraph, I acknowledge that the Club is not liable for: negligence; or breach of terms implied that services will be provided with reasonable care and skill, at common law that in either case results in my death or injury (as defined above) in connection with or under this Agreement, but to avoid doubt the Club does not exclude liability for its reckless conduct.

Some of the things that maybe decided include: take steps to rectify the problem or issue you have raised; provide you with additional information or advice so that you can understand what happened and how it has been dealt with; take steps to change Lift Brands’ policies or procedures if your complaint identifies a problem in the way things are being done. It is not always possible to resolve a complaint to everyone’s satisfaction. In that case, you might want to escalate the matter to the Privacy Commissioner via an online privacy complaint form which can be found at: http://www. oaic.gov.au/privacy/making-a-privacy-complaint.
