6. Ongoing Plan/ Contracts: Debits, Freeze and Termination

The activation date of your pack/ plan is the date of your first visit regardless of the payment date.

You pay fees for ongoing memberships in advance each fortnight, by direct debit from a bank account. For a Pre-paid membership, you will pay on the day you buy it.

When your membership is due to end, you can choose to renew it before that date at your existing rate, otherwise your membership fee will be set at the current rate. By renewing your membership, you agree to the membership terms that apply at that time.

We will debit your fortnightly club fees from your nominated account on every fortnight starting the day you signed up, as set out in your membership agreement. If you use a credit card (including VISA debit facilities), we will add a 50 cent surcharge to your fortnightly debit. We reserve the right to increase your fees at any time after the minimum period of your agreement has ended. We will make a reasonable effort to tell you about this at least 1 month beforehand by emailing you, displaying a note in the club and displaying the new prices on our website and on our price lists at reception.

You can freeze your membership for 1 or more fortnights, up to a maximum of 6 fortnights each calendar. Kids Plans can be frozen during public school holidays only up to a maximum of 5 fortnights each calendar year. Each time freeze must start and end on a direct debit date and mut be announced at least 1 week prior to the next billing date. The time freeze fee for all memberships is $5 per week, which you can pay in advance or by direct debit. You can freeze your membership for up to 6 fortnights in any 12 months for travel, medical or bankruptcy reasons. However, we must be satisfied by your supporting documents, such as a a Notification of Bankruptcy from the Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA), confirming your bankruptcy or a certificate from a medical practitioner stating that you cannot utilise any fitness services or facilities for the rest of your term because of your permanent illness of physical incapacity. If you are within your minimum term, any time freezes are not classified as a full payment toward your contract.

Cancelling after the minimum term expires

Once the minimum term of your membership expires, you or we may cancel your membership (see 3.1). When you cancel, you must pay us any fees you owe or we may take action to recover them.

You must give us one month notice to cancel, unless you are cancelling for medical reasons (with supporting evidence). We count this period from the date of your request, this means your final debit may be a pro rata amount.

To ensure your direct debit does not continue past your minimum term, you must give us notice within this term. You cannot freeze your membership payments during the notice period.

Permanent sickness or physical incapacity

You may terminate your agreement before the expiry of your Minimum term if time freeze is not suitable if:

• You are sick or incapacitated and time freeze is not a suitable option for your circumstances. You must show us a current certificate from a qualified medical practitioner stating that you cannot utilise any fitness services or facilities for the rest of your term because of your permanent illness of physical incapacity.
• you are bankrupt you must show us a Notification of Bankruptcy from the Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA), confirming your bankruptcy.
• We will not charge you an exit fee in these cases. Otherwise, we will charge an exit fee as per the amounts below based on how much of your agreement remains, or the remaining amount payable on your membership whichever is lesser :
• up to 6 months = $295; 6×12 months = $395 ; 12×18 months = $495

Adults contracts/plans may be transferred under the following conditions. You can transfer your membership to another person (transferee) within the minimum term of your agreement so long as the transferee:

• is not a current member
• completes the new membership sign-up process and pays a transfer fee equivalent to the start-up fee
• is eligible to take up your membership (for instance, you cannot transfer a corporate or concession membership to someone who would not qualify for that membership)
• has not previously been banned by Mosman MAA or failed to pay membership fees.

The transfer is effective only after the transferee has completed the sign-up process.

We do not allow transfers once you have completed your minimum term. You also cannot transfer foundation, family or friends memberships. If you wish to cancel for any other reason, within your minimum term, and have more than 30 days left in your minimum term, you must pay out your agreement.

We calculate the amount you must pay by:

• multiplying your fortnightly fee by the number of fortnights left in your minimum term deducting 5% from the total.

WARNING … Safety first!!

High intensity exercise must be approached cautiously in the beginning, a gradual ramp up of intensity is necessary to allow muscles cells to adapt to the new demands being placed on them. Failure to do so, opens the door to a life-threatening condition, known as ‘Rhabdomyolysis’. In short, the muscle cells are damaged flooding the bloodstream with toxins that can overwhelm the kidneys as they attempt to cleanse the blood, leading to potential shutdown. CrossFit can cause Rhabdomyolysis. It is important that you start at a reduced intensity. Brown urine, complete muscle weakness and/or swelling of joints are warning signs of ‘Rhabdo’. If you develop these symptoms, seek medical assistance IMMEDIATELY.
