3. Cancellation Requests

3.1. Submission Process

All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to ensure clarity and accuracy. You can submit your cancellation request via email to [Your Company Email] or in person at the gym's reception during operating hours. Please note that cancellation requests will not be processed over the phone to maintain a documented record of all communications.

3.2. Notice Period

To facilitate a smooth cancellation process, a minimum of 30 days' notice is required for the cancellation of any membership. This notice period allows us to manage membership transitions effectively and ensure continuity of service for all members. Please plan your cancellation accordingly, as any requests submitted less than 30 days before the intended cancellation date will result in an additional month's charge to cover the upcoming billing cycle.

3.3. Early Cancellation Fee

In some cases, early cancellation of a membership may incur a fee. This fee helps offset administrative costs associated with processing early cancellations and ensures fairness to all members. The specific early cancellation fee, if applicable, will be communicated to you upon submission of your cancellation request.

3.4. Membership Status During Notice Period

During the 30-day notice period, your membership benefits and access to gym facilities will continue as usual. We encourage you to take full advantage of your membership until the effective cancellation date to maximize your fitness journey with us.

3.5. Confirmation of Cancellation

Upon receipt of your cancellation request, we will acknowledge it within [2 business days]. A confirmation of your cancellation and the effective date will be sent to you via email. Please retain this confirmation for your records.

4. Fees and Refunds

4.1. Cancellation Fees

Upon cancellation of your membership, a non-refundable cancellation fee of $[0] will be applied. This fee covers administrative costs associated with processing your cancellation request and updating membership records.

4.2. Refunds for Annual Memberships

For annual memberships, refunds will be pro-rated based on the number of months remaining in the contract term from the cancellation date.

Please note that the $[0] cancellation fee will be deducted from the total refund amount.

4.3. Refunds for Monthly Memberships

No refunds will be issued for monthly memberships. Upon cancellation, members will retain access to the gym facilities until the end of the current billing cycle. This ensures that you can continue to enjoy your membership benefits until the scheduled expiration date.

Refunds, if applicable, will be processed within [14 business days] from the date of confirmation of cancellation. The refund will be issued using the original method of payment unless otherwise requested and approved by the member.

Requests for exceptions must be submitted in writing and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by management.

In the event of any disputes regarding refunds or charges, members are encouraged to contact our customer service team promptly. We are committed to resolving disputes fairly and promptly in accordance with our company's policies and US consumer protection laws.
