6. FOR MEMBERS ON A FIXED TERM CONTRACT

6.1 Where you enter into a Fixed Term Contract, you acknowledge that you are entering into a

entered into this commitment in full consideration of any likely changes in your own personal

circumstances over this period and acknowledge that the Contract can only be cancelled in very

limited circumstances (see Clauses 11.1 and 12).

the time the Fixed Term Contract expires. If you do not wish your Contract to extend in this way

after expiry of the Fixed Term, you must give us notice that you do not wish for your Contract to

extend no less than one calendar month before the end of the Fixed Term Contract (or, where

you have chosen to freeze your Contract, the Extended Term). You may give us notice in person

at the Hub or by email / phone which can be located at https://www.leisureunited.com

7.1 The Direct Debit payment amount is due from you to us. You must make Direct Debit

payments for the duration of your Membership.

 

7.2 Direct Debits are collected on or after the 1st day of every month and every month

thereafter. If your Rolling Term Contract starts on a date other than the 1st day of the month,

then, you will be required to make a pro-rata initial payment for the first part month. This sum

must be paid by cash or card payment on the day your Membership starts. Your first Direct

Debit payment shall be collected on the 1st day of the next month.

 

7.3 Where you are on a Rolling Term Contract, your membership shall automatically continue in

accordance with Clauses 7.4 and 7.5 below.

until your Rolling Term Contract is terminated in accordance with Clause 7.5 or otherwise in

accordance with your Membership. Please note that we do not provide reminders regarding

your Direct Debit payments. If your Membership includes the benefit of a free period, then we

will stop making collections during that free period and recommence making collections on the

renewal date. We will give you at least 1 calendar month written notice to the email address you

supplied on joining of any increase to the Direct Debit and, following such increase, we will

continue to collect Direct Debit payments for the increased amount every month until your

Membership is terminated in accordance with Clause 7.5 or otherwise in accordance with your

Membership.

 

7.5 You may cancel your Rolling Term Contract at any time. You may give us notice in person at

the Hub or by email / phone which can be located at https://www.leisureunited.com. If

the end of the same calendar month. If cancelled after the 21st day of the month, your Direct

Debit for the next month will be taken and your Rolling Term Contract will terminate at the end

of the following calendar month.

 

8. REFURBISHMENT AND REPAIR

8.1 Members acknowledge that it may be necessary for us to close all or parts of our Hub from

time to time to carry out refurbishments or repairs and that this may disrupt our provision of

the Services.

Subject to Clause 8.2, Members agree that any such disruption shall not constitute a material

breach of the Contract. We will always take care to minimise any inconvenience caused.

 

8.2 If a Member’s Hub is closed for an extended period, we will use our best efforts to provide

suitable alternative facilities for the duration of the closure. Where we are unable to do so, we

may, at our discretion, refund a proportion of the Membership Fees already paid that relate to

the period of closure and/or add any closure period onto the end of your Rolling Term Contract

Term), as appropriate.

‘significant’ is at the Hub’s discretion.

 

11.8 You may freeze your Contract at any time by giving us 10 days’ notice and upon payment of

a £5 administration fee for every month that your membership is frozen (which shall be

11.10 Once the Freeze Period expires, your regular payments shall immediately recommence

and the length of your Contract (as set out in your Membership Agreement) shall be extended

Membership Fees due on a monthly basis under your Contract shall continue to be due each

month until the end of the Extended Term.

Clause 11.1 of these Terms and Conditions. Joining fees and administration fees are not

refundable in any other circumstances.

Membership will end at the end of the calendar month of your final payment. No refund of

payments already made shall apply.

 

12.5 If you paid an Upfront Fee and you cancel your Membership under Clause 11.4, you may be

entitled to a partial refund of your Membership Fee pro-rated for the remaining months of the

Fixed Term Contract although we reserve the right to retain a reasonable sum to reflect any

price difference between Memberships for a Fixed Term Contract and those on a Rolling Term

Contract (where such Memberships are available). For example, a refund may be calculated as

follows:

Refund = Upfront Fee less (number of full months since Membership was entered into

multiplied by the standard monthly Rolling Term Contract Membership Fee applicable to those

months).

not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that should not be taken as us

having waived our rights against you and you will still have to comply with those obligations. If

we do waive a default, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will

automatically waive any later default.

matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by, and

construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Each party irrevocably agrees that
