2    Using the Service

Training, classes and boot camps

Depending on the pass or service you have purchased, the Company will provide training classes, boot camps or personal training sessions. The following membership schemes are available:

    Pre-purchase seasonal passes:

2.1    These entitle you to the classes specified in the relevant description of the pass and  must be pre-purchased . Personal Training sessions are not included and need to be paid in advance of session starting.

2.2    You will be emailed a notification of booking once we have received payment. There are no physical passes – you fill out a register at each class. Passes are valid for the term(s) stated only and unused sessions CANNOT be carried over to the next term.

2.3    Passes can be used across all venues. You do NOT have to let us know which workouts you are coming to. Your pass excludes boot camps (although you may be entitled to a discount).

2.4    We do not operate a refund policy except in accordance with clause 3.4 below and passes are non transferable. All clients must fill out and sign a booking form with a Fitness questionnaire AND client disclaimer form.

Direct debit membership schemes

We currently offer the following direct debit membership schemes at £51.25 pcm:

2.5    Direct Debit Pass includes: all weekday and weekend classes across all venues and on-line membership of Fit for a Princess (see below).

2.6    Direct Debit Pass does not include: personal training sessions and boot camps (although you will be entitled to a discount which will be displayed on-line at the time of the boot camp and you need to pay for your boot camp via the online shop)

2.7    On-line membership includes: your own personal training page and lifestyle diary with access to on-line recipes, fitness videos, cartoon workouts and e-books and other benefits listed under on the  ‘On-Line membership’ page at www.fitforaprincess.co.uk .

2.9    When is the contract concluded? We will try to process your pass promptly, but do not guarantee that it will be activated by any specified time. By submitting your payment and other subscription details, you are making an offer to us to buy a monthly Direct Debit pass/On-line membership as appropriate. Your offer will only be accepted by us and a contract formed when we have successfully verified your payment details, the ParQ Fitness questionnaire and email address. You will then be emailed a notification of booking. We reserve the right to reject any offer in our discretion, for any or no reason. You will then be entitled to attend classes/on-line membership as appropriate. There are no physical passes – you fill out a register at each class.

2.10    Payment details: when you subscribe you must provide us with complete and accurate payment information. By submitting payment details you promise that you are entitled to purchase a pass using those payment details. If we do not receive payment authorization or any authorization is subsequently cancelled, we may immediately terminate or suspend your access to your subscription and may in suspicious circumstances contact the issuing bank and/or law enforcement authorities/other appropriate third parties. If you are entitled to a refund under these terms and conditions we will credit that refund to the card or other payment method you used to submit payment, unless it has expired in which case we will contact you. If you buy a subscription using a corporate credit card than we will treat your subscription or temporary access pass as being for the benefit of both you and the relevant company.

2.11    Pricing: the subscription price will be made clear to you on our sign-up pages or otherwise during the sign-up process and may vary from time to time. You agree to pay the fees at the rates notified to you at the time you take out your subscription. Eligibility for any discounts is ascertained at the time you subscribe and cannot be changed during the term of your subscription. We will always tell you in advance of any increase in the price of your subscription and offer you an opportunity to cancel it if you do not wish to pay the new price.

2.12    Pricing errors: if we incorrectly state a price to you whether online or otherwise, we are not obliged to provide you with a subscription at that price, even if we have mistakenly accepted your offer to buy a subscription at that price, and reserve the right to subsequently notify you of any pricing error. If we do this, you may cancel the subscription without any obligation to us and we will refund you any money you have paid us in full or you may pay the correct price. If you refuse to exercise either of these choices then we may cancel your subscription or temporary access pass and will refund you any money you have paid us in full. We will always act in good faith in determining whether a genuine pricing error has occurred.

2.13    Validity: your subscription is for a minimum period of 3 (three) months and will continue until you tell us that you no longer wish to receive it, in which case you will stop paying the monthly fees. Please see the “Cancellations by you” section below for details of how to cancel your monthly subscription.

2.14    Cancellations by you: you may notify us of your intention to cancel, provided you give us 14 days notice, such notice to expire on or any time after the initial minimum  period of 3 (three) months  and before your next direct debit payment is due. For clarification: If you signed up on the 15th of the month and your direct debit is taken out on the 15th of the month, you must notify us by the 1st of the month.   This is for both outdoor workouts AND online membership. Such notice will take effect at the end of the 14 days in which you give notice and your pass/on-line membership rights will continue until the end of the 14 days. Fit for a Princess will not remind you when your direct debit date is and it is your responsibility to know your own cut off date. You may notify us of your wish to cancel your subscription by contacting princess@fitforaprincess.co.uk or clicking the unsubscribe button on the Fit for a Princess direct debit page.
