Extras
- Members are able to pay for extra services and products which we offer. Details of the extras services and the fees payable in respect of them are set out in the extras section of part B of these terms and conditions.
payment methods and discount
- If you have chosen a prepaid membership option (including a day pass, a weekday pass or a weekend pass), you must pay the full membership fee payable for that membership (as set out at the end of these terms and conditions) at or prior to the start of your membership. This can be paid via the Lvl5 app, website or in person at our gym.
- If you have chosen a monthly membership, you must pay your monthly membership fee in advance every month, we will take your monthly payment on or around the first day of each calendar month. If your membership begins on a date other than the first day of the calendar month when you join, you will be required to pay a pro-rata amount for your membership until the first day of the following calendar month. By way of example:
If a member joined on a Open Gym monthly membership commencing 22nd March 2022, they would at the time of joining pay a pro-rata’d amount for the period 22nd March 2022 to 31st March 2022. On the 1st of April 2022, their first full monthly direct debit payment of £55 would be made, which would cover the full calendar month of April 2022.
- We may, entirely at our discretion, accept other payment methods.
- Discounts on any memberships or products are discretionary and must be authorised by a Director of LVL 5 Gyms Limited:
Failing to pay
This section is about what will happen if you do not pay your monthly membership fee or any other fees or charges you have agreed to pay because:
- the account details you provided for the direct debit are wrong; or
- there is not enough money available in your bank account; or
- you have cancelled your direct debit without giving us the correct notice period.
If you fail to pay any fees or charges which are owing to us, for the reasons, set out in section 6.1:
- we will ask you to pay by cash, debit card or credit card, and to give us your correct bank details.
- while you owe us payments you will not be allowed to use any of our gyms; and
- if you have not paid the outstanding fees or charges within 7 days of being notified by us and asked for payment in accordance with section 6.2(a), this will be deemed as notice to cancel your membership.
Freezing your membership
You may temporarily put your membership on hold for between one and twelve calendar months for the following reasons only. We may require you to produce proof which is satisfactory to us of any of these reasons that you are relying on to freeze your membership:
- pregnancy;
- serious illness;
- serious injury; and
- redundancy.
- Moving in excess of 20 miles away from the facility
Putting your membership on hold is not the same as cancelling your membership. It is a temporary suspension, while cancellation is the termination of your membership. To cancel your membership you must follow the procedure set out in section 8.
If you want to put your membership on hold, you can request us to do so in writing, by emailing us at info@lvl5gyms.com.
If we receive your request in accordance with section 7.3, and agree to put your membership on hold, we will confirm this in writing to you and your membership will be on hold from the day that we give such confirmation to you.
If you have chosen any of our PIF memberships, we will extend your membership period by the number of months your membership is on hold for. If we increase our prices during the period when your membership is on hold, you may be required to pay any new or additional prices that apply to your membership type when your membership resumes.
You will not be allowed to use our facilities while your membership is on hold, with exception of the coffee/smoothie bar.
cancellation
A member signs up for a 12 Month Open Gym PIF Membership and pays an upfront fee of £495 at the point of joining on 1st January 2022. They notify us via email, on 22nd April 2022, that they wish to cancel their membership as soon as possible. We acknowledge receipt and confirm to the member that their membership will expire on 30th April 2022 (the last day of the calendar month in which the member provided 7 days’ notice of cancellation).
As the member cancelled before the expiry of the 12-month period they committed to at the outset, the fee payable for the period of 1st January 2022 to 30th April 2022 (4 months) would be calculated as £55 per month, i.e. our monthly membership fee for 12 Month Open Gym PIF Memberships. We would therefore refund the sum of £220 to the member and retain £275 as payment for the four months of membership which elapsed up to and including the point of cancellation.
A member signs up for a Open Gym monthly membership on 12th January 2022 and agrees to pay every month. Their monthly membership period, therefore, runs from the 12th of the month until the 11th of the following month. On the 12th of the following month, their monthly membership renews for another month.
The member decides on the 3rd March 2022 to cancel their membership. They email us at info@lvl5gyms.com to notify us, and we acknowledge that their membership will therefore terminate on 11th March 2022, being the final day of their monthly membership period.
If the member had only notified us on 9th March 2022 of their intention to cancel their membership effective from 11th March 2022, this would not provide us with the required 7 days’ prior notice before the end of their monthly membership period. As such, their membership would continue running until the last day of their next monthly membership period, 11th April 2022, at which point it would be cancelled.
Our rights to make changes
If we decide to change the location of our gym or to close it permanently, the following will apply:
- we will make every reasonable effort to give you at least 3 months’ notice of the change or closure (either in writing or by displaying a notice at the relevant gym);
- you can end your membership by providing us with 7 days’ prior notice in accordance with the cancellation provisions set out at clause 8 of these terms and conditions;
- If we cannot give you 3 months’ notice of the change or closure but you want to end your membership, you can give us a written notice which ends on the date when the changes start to apply. We will refund any part of your membership fee you have already paid for a period after that date.
- the length of time our facilities are closed; and
- the period for which we are unable to provide a suitable alternative.
Our rights to end the contract
- if you breach these terms and conditions or the gym rules and you do not, or cannot, put it right within 7 days of us writing to you about it;
- if, with your knowledge or permission, another person uses your membership to access our gyms;
- if you use rude or abusive language or behave or threatening to behave in a violent or aggressive way at any of our gyms.
