All sessions offered by the club may be offered in person (group and 1 to 1), online live and online anytime.

Refunds, Cancellations and Notice Period

Example 2

Occasionally annual memberships may be offered. Members agreeing to annual memberships fully understand the terms and rates agreed reflect that there is no recourse to any form of refund, cancellation, on hold or extension or any other change to the original agreed period regardless of situation howsoever that arises and there are no exceptions to this. There is no right to ongoing annual memberships. Unless offered in advance, any member(s) on an annual agreement will automatically be transferred to monthly membership plans at the current membership rates upon completion of their annual agreement.

Membership payments can only be made by regular bank transfer as set up by the client. It is the clients responsibility to ensure their regular payments are cancelled correctly where membership is terminated (see above examples). Ongoing payments received by Max Exertion Athletics post cancellation will supersede the cancellation and be deemed as the clients wish to continue with their membership regardless of whether they attend any classes or not.

Client’s default: Client shall be deemed in default of this agreement upon the failure to comply with any of the terms and conditions of the agreement, including, but not limited to, the obligation to make any payment as and when due.

Enforceability: The parties agree that if any provision or portion of this agreement is declared void and unenforceable, such provision or portion of a provision shall be deemed severed from this agreement, which shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. However, client specifically agrees all the terms and conditions are to be enforced and client specifically waives any statute or other right of any type, which would invalidate the enforceability of any provision or portion of a provision of this agreement.
Legal fees: In the event either party finds it necessary to commerce litigation or other court action to enforce the terms and conditions of this agreement, the prevailing party in such litigation or court action shall be entitled to receive their actual lawyer’s fees incurred, together with court costs, and other charges from the other party as a part of any ruling or judgment.

The following information has been produced to ensure that all members are assured of a comfortable and enjoyable experience on each and every one of their visits. Although the items in this list are detailed in their nature, it is anticipated that for the majority of members there will be little or no need ever to refer to them. They do however allow the management of the club to provide a service that we believe is second to none.

Membership fees

Membership fees shall be fixed by Max Exertion Athletics Ltd (also known as CrossFit Chain Reaction) and may be altered at any time. Members will be notified (by notices posted on club notice boards and/ or in writing by email communication) of any changes in the fees prior to the date of the alteration.
