1. Parties to the purchase
This Agreement is between the member ("customer") and YMCA North Incorporated. ("The Y").
2. Definitions
Freedom Agreements mean agreements paid via weekly or monthly direct debit that have no fixed term period of renewal. Therefore, they will continue indefinitely until terminated by the customer or The Y.
Minimum Term Agreements means agreements that have a minimum term commitment to maintain payments. Post the minimum term the agreement will continue indefinitely until terminated by the customer or The Y.
Fixed Term Agreements means agreements that have a fixed term. If paying by direct debit this means no further payments will be debited after the end of the fixed term unless a new agreement is agreed between the customer and The Y.
Cycle Fees means an agreed fee paid in advance via monthly or weekly direct debit.
Upfront means paid in full or paid when the customer confirms before the customer commences the course or membership term.
3. Age Restrictions
Customers under the age of 16 must have their membership agreement submitted and approved by their legal guardian, who will be legally responsible to ensure they comply with terms and conditions of the membership.
All customers under the age of 18 may have their data shared with Oranga Tamariki and this data is managed in accordance with the Privacy Act 1993.
4. Fees and Charges
The customer must pay all membership fees and charges plus GST as applicable, for the term of their membership with The Y. Interest may be charged on all overdue fees and charges at the rate of 8% per annum. Depending on your membership, these fees may include a Joining Fee, a pro rate fee calculated between the day you join and your next billing date, all regular payments to be made in advance by direct debit from your designated account or by credit card beginning on the date specified in your Membership Agreement.
5. Direct Debits
Direct debits may be administered by The Y or by a third party appointed by The Y. The Y will provide the customer with the appropriate Direct Debit Authority Form to complete when they sign up to be a member. The direct debit facility will be used for payment of all fees and charges owed by the customer as they become due in relation to this Agreement.
The customer is required to submit their direct debit information accurately and complete any associated forms before the commencement date of the customer’s membership. The customer can opt to print and sign the direct forms and present them at the site; the customer must do this if the bank account needs a joint signatory. If the customer selects this option, the bank mandate must be presented to The Y before the commencement date of the customer's membership. Direct debits will be deducted from the customer's nominated account or credit card in line with the payment frequency agreed to. If a direct debit cannot be processed (e.g. because of insufficient funds or changes to the customer’s bank account), The Y or its agent, may charge a dishonour fee of $10 per week until the outstanding amount is cleared. Any other charges incurred due to insufficient funds will be the responsibility of the customer.
After one missed payment, The Y may deny the customer access until the overdue amount is paid or a payment plan is in place. If the outstanding balance is not settled within four (4) weeks The Y may terminate the customer's membership by giving him/her written notice of termination. To re-join as a member or end any suspension due to non-payment of fees, the customer must pay all amounts owing, plus any applicable joining or administration fees.
6. Changes in Membership Fees
Outside of any minimum term obligation agreed to by the customer, The Y may increase membership fees at any time giving thirty (30) days' notice.
Fixed Term Agreements fees are fixed for the term of that agreement only and may increase upon renewal.
Where there have been material variations to services, times and/or facilities at the customer's home facility, The Y may reduce the fees at its discretion in line with the extent and length of disruption.
7. Suspending of membership
Customers are entitled to apply to suspend their membership due to medical, travel or personal reasons for a minimum period of two (2) weeks up to a maximum of eight (8) weeks at any one time for a maximum total of eight (8) weeks in any membership year. For the purposes of this clause a Membership Year commences on the anniversary of the day the customer commenced their membership. Customers are not entitled to accumulate unused suspension entitlements from one Membership Year to another. Written notice or completion of the Y Membership Suspension form, including a reactivation date in each case, must be provided at least one (1) week prior to the suspension being activated in order for The Y to process the membership suspension. Suspensions can take up to one (1) week to process and the customer agrees direct debits will not be stopped within this period. Customers will not have access to any bookings or facilities that form part of this agreement while the suspension is in place.
Please note customers may not suspend their membership during the first four (4) weeks of membership. In addition, customers may not suspend their membership for less than two (2) weeks at a time or for longer than eight (8) weeks in total per membership year. If the customer suspends their membership within the Minimum Term or Fixed Term, the length of the Minimum Term or Fixed Term period will be extended by the length of suspension that is agreed. There is an administration fee of $10 for each membership suspension of 28 days or less and an administration fee of $25 for each membership suspension of more than 28 days. No fee will be charged for medical suspensions when suitable proof of medical suspension reason has been provided. The Y reserves the right to waive this fee at our sole discretion. At the sole discretion of The Y, a request to extend your membership suspension may be approved with terms relating to your specific situation.
8. Termination
If a customer wishes to terminate their agreement, they must give fourteen (14) days' written notice. Any direct debit payments due within the fourteen (14) days' notice period will be debited in full. No further direct debit payments will be taken after the fourteen (14) days' notice period. Depending on the terms of your agreement you may be liable to pay a cancellation fee.
If a customer has agreed to a Freedom Membership, there is no fee required to cancel. If a customer has agreed to a Fixed Term or Minimum Term Agreement and wishes to terminate their membership within the Fixed Term or Minimum Term period, the customer must pay a cancellation fee dependant on the length of time remaining on their agreed term. If there are 30 days or less remaining the cancelation fee is $25, if there are 31-90 days remaining the cancelation fee is $50, if there are 91-180 days remaining the cancelation fee is $100, if there are more than 180 days remaining the cancelation fee is $150. If a customer has an agreed to a Minimum Term Agreement and wishes to terminate their membership outside the minimum term period, they must give fourteen (14) days' written notice and no fee will be charged. If a customer has agreed to an Upfront Membership and wishes to cancel before the end of their term no refund will be given for unused time.
Termination of membership is to be made by the customer in writing to their The Y. Customers will have access to facilities during the termination notice period, up to the final day customer has paid for, and this date will be stipulated on the The Y confirmation of termination. All deposits or Cycle Fee payments processed up to and during the termination notice period are non-refundable. If the customer fails to comply with these terms and conditions and/or any YMCA North policies (which may vary from time to time) and/or on-site facility notification boards and notices and does not remedy such failure after being given one weeks’ notice in writing to do so the Y may, at its discretion terminate the customers agreement with immediate effect.
If the breach is one that cannot be remedied, The Y may terminate immediately. Termination by The Y does not reduce any fess and associated charges owed by the customers in accordance with this agreement.
If The Y terminates a Fixed Term Agreement, the customer will be refunded a pro-rate amount of the remaining value of the agreement less any fees owed to The Y.
9. Overdue payments
If a balance is outstanding for more than four (4) weeks The Y may notify any credit reporting or referencing agency of the default, and may pass the customer’s debt for collection to a third party agency.
