Any Member so expelled or that has their Membership terminated or suspended shall forfeit all privileges to Membership of the Studio and shall not be entitled to any refund.

2.11 Members may cancel any purchase of any Membership made online at any time up to the end of the seventh working day from the date the Member receives confirmation of the ordered Membership provided they have not already attended a Class using the Membership purchased. Members do not need to give TGR any reason for cancelling the Membership nor will Members have to pay any penalty. Members cannot cancel any Membership if the Membership has been used. To cancel Membership under this condition
2.11.1 Members must notify TGR in writing or by email ([email protected]). Once a Member notifies TGR that they are cancelling their Membership, any sum debited to TGR from their credit or debit card will be credited to their account as soon as possible and in any event within 35 days of cancellation.
2.13 A Membership can only be used by the person who purchased it or by the person it was purchased for and breach of this condition will lead to termination of the Membership.
2.14 A person attending the Studio is allowed to purchase an Introductory Offer once only, and upon production of photographic proof of identity (including driver’s licence, passport ID card). In the event that a Member is found to have previously purchased an Introductory Offer any monies taken will be treated and used as the purchase of a single drop-in class (90 minutes) and any balance will be credited to the account of the Member for any further purchases.
3. MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS, 365 DAY PASSES AND CLASS CARDS
3.1 The provisions of this condition shall only apply to a Member who purchases a Monthly Subscription Membership (aka ‘Monthly Rolling Contract’) by monthly direct debit, standing order or debit or credit card.
3.2 A Monthly subscription is for the Minimum Subscription Period published on the Website and in the Studio and will continue automatically until terminated. The first payment shall be taken on the date of purchase, which shall be the start date of the Membership and the date upon which monthly Subscription fees are due and paid in advance for the following month.
3.3 A Member who is purchasing classes by Subscription may, at the discretion of TGR, suspend (or “freeze”) their membership three times in any calendar year, each time for up to 30 days. An administration fee of £15 per suspension will be payable. Any member who chooses to suspend their membership must do this by emailing the studio directly and requesting a suspension via the email address, [email protected]. They should receive written confirmation of the freeze. When the member wishes to continue their Subscription they must contact the studio directly again. If they do not contact the studio by the end of the 30 day period then the Subscription will automatically unsuspend (or “unfreeze”).
3.4 Subscription fees must be paid in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the type and price of the Membership offered on the Website and in the Studio irrespective of whether or not the Member uses the Studio’s facilities.
3.5 Subscription fees may be increased at TGR’s discretion. Members shall be given at least 14 working days’ notice of any increase in Subscription fees.
3.6 Any Member that is purchasing classes by Subscription agrees that they can cancel their Subscription without any Minimum Subscription Period.
3.7 Subject to condition 3.6 and any right of TGR to cancel or suspend the Subscription, the Subscription will continue indefinitely unless and until a Member cancels their Monthly Subscription which can be done by emaiing the studio at [email protected]. Members should be aware that the cancellation of their Subscription will be effective immediately from the moment they cancel. Membership does not extend for a month from the date of a member’s last monthly payment. This means from the moment they cancel they will no longer be members at TGR with the right to book or attend classes. No refunds shall be given to Members in respect of any Subscription fees that have been paid.
3.8 If a Member does not pay their Subscription for the Minimum Subscription Period (or cancels their Subscription during the Minimum Subscription Period) the Member remains liable in full for any outstanding Subscriptions in respect of the Minimum Subscription Period.
3.9 By agreeing to the Minimum Subscription Period the Member agrees and acknowledges that they are being given preferential rates by TGR and therefore it is fair and reasonable that the Member is liable for any payments referred to in condition 3.7 above.
3.10 It is the responsibility of the Member to cancel any direct debit or standing order with his bank on termination of his Subscription. TGR cannot be held liable for any payments processed due to the failure of a Member to cancel a direct debit or standing order.
3.11 Members who do not wish to accept a change proposed by TGR to any Subscription fees may cancel their Subscription by giving notice to TGR in accordance with condition 3.7 but must continue to pay subscriptions at the rate current immediately prior to any proposed increase until the end of such notice period or in the case of a Member whose Minimum Subscription Period has not ended until the end of such period.
3.12 If the Subscription is paid by debit or credit card (or any Subscription fees remain outstanding beyond the due date) the Member unconditionally and irrevocably authorises TGR to debit any credit or debit card provided by the Member with the monthly Subscription fee (or any outstanding fees) without notice to the Member.
3.13 Our 365 Day Pass entitles you to attend an unlimited number of classes at our studio in a year starting from the date that you first use the pass.3.14 You can freeze your 365 Day Pass three times every calendar year for up to 30 days each time. There is a £15 admin fee for each freeze. Please note that The Good Rooms will be closed for up to 3 Bank Holidays per year.
3.14 There is a cooling off period of 14 days from the date of purchase, in which you have the right to cancel any purchase and be fully refunded. You will however be charged for the cost of returning any goods (if relevant) and you cannot cancel any service or goods if they have been used.
3.15 After this 14 day cooling off period, or if the pass has been started, there can be no refunds or partial refunds for this pass for any reason. This is a heavily reduced pass for people who wish to pay for a full year in advance. If you wish to take account of the possibility that your circumstances may change in the next year, we recommend that you purchase the Monthly Rolling Unlimited pass instead, which gives you the option to cancel at any time.
3.16 Late Cancels and No Shows for monthly and annual members, plus 14 Day Pass and 30 Day Pass holders – There is a charge for monthly and annual members who book into a class and then either do not make it to that class or do not cancel their booking in time for somebody to take that spot. A £5 Late Cancellation/No Show Fee will be charged to your stored bank card.
3.17 Class Cards – A 5 Class Card with 45 day expiry entitles you to attend 5 classes to use within 45 days starting from the date that you purchase the pass. A 10 Class Card with 90 day expiry entitles you to attend 10 classes to use within 90 days starting from the date that you purchase the pass. A 20 Class Card with 180 day expiry entitles you to attend 20 classes to use within 180 days starting from the date that you purchase the pass.
3.18 Extending your Pass – If you don’t use your classes up, of any 5, 10or 20 Class Card, within this period then the card will expire and you will lose your classes, but we know that won’t happen to you because you will come to class regularly! It is possible to extend the duration of a Class Card by contacting the reception team via email ([email protected]) and paying a £15 admin fee to extend this pass by 30 days. Please note – Pass extensions are only possible before this pass has expired. Once the expiration date has been reached, it is no longer possible to extend this pass.
3.19 No Show/Late Cancellation Policy for Class Cards – If you do not attend any class booked or fail to cancel any class with more than 2 hours to go before the class, you will be charged one Class Credit, as if you attended the class.
