Some of the key terms of this Agreement are summarised below. You should refer to the noted clause for full details.
• Cooling Off: You can cancel this Agreement within 7 days from the Start Date by giving us written notice (see Details and clause 3).
• Your Safety: You agree to give us all relevant health and fitness information before or during any exercise. Each time you use the Facilities and

should seek medical guidance (see clause 11).

g).
• Tailgating: You must not permit any other person to enter the Club or to use the Facilities and Services, whether a member or not. This will result
in a $250 fine for a breach of this clause 5(b).
• Membership Transfer and Assignment of this Agreement: As a broad rule, if you use another Club more than our Club, (using the criteria set out
in this Agreement) your Membership and this Agreement will be transferred from our Club to the Club you visit the most. If this happens, the Fees,
including your Membership Fees, may change (see clause 9).
• Putting Your Membership On Hold: You may put your Membership on Time Hold for a minimum period of two (2) weeks (1 payment) and a
maximum period of three months (6 payments) in each year. Each year commences on the anniversary of your Commencement Date. To place your
account on Time Hold, please complete the ‘Plus Fitness Time Hold Application’. It is the members responsibility to be aware of when debits will resume
after Time Hold (see clause 9).
• Cancelling your Membership:
If this is a Fixed Term Agreement (paid upfront), you do not need to do anything, as your Membership will end when the Minimum Term ends. We may
contact you before your Agreement ends to discuss renewal. If you chose to renew your Membership or sign a new agreement before the Minimum
Term ends, a Joining Fee will not apply (see clause 8).
If this is an Ongoing Agreement and it has continued beyond the Minimum Term, you can cancel any time by giving us at least 14 days (minimum 1
payment) prior. After the Term, this Agreement will continue until terminated by you. For security and identification purposes, termination must be
completed in club by completing a ‘Plus Fitness cancellation form’. This must be done at your current Plus Fitness home club if the member has been
transferred due to usage (see clause 8).
Cancelling an ongoing agreement within the Minimum Term, you can cancel if you pay the cancellation fee which is 50% of the balance due for the
remainder of the Minimum Term or a sum equal to 2 payments, whichever is greater.
