For persons 16 or 17 years old, exceptions are granted where written parental consent has been provided.
HEALTH:
The Member confirms that he/she does not suffer from health problems that would hinder exercise or prevent him/her from engaging in exercise, or that would be detrimental or adverse to the Member’s health, safety or physical condition if he/she did exercise. In case of any doubt, the Member shall seek advice by a medical doctor who must confirm the ability to exercise. CF shall have no obligation to perform a fitness assessment or similar testing to determine the Member’s physical condition. If an assessment is done at CF, it is for the sole purpose of compiling comparative data in order to track the Member’s progress in a programme and not for diagnostic purposes.

Any and all use of CF facilities shall be at Member’s own risk at all times. The Member shall not utilise any equipment unless he/she knows the appropriate operation.
CF shall not be liable for any injuries, physical impact or damages to the Member, or the property of the Member, or be subject to any claim arising out of the use of the premises and/or of the equipment made available to the users.
PERSONAL BELONGINGS:
Limited storage is available for personal belongings within the CF facilities. We recommend that valuables, such as mobile devices/wallets etc. be left in the member’s vehicle. Should any possessions be brought into CF, each Member must collect all items when leaving the facility. CF has the right to remove/dispose of all belongings if the Member is not in the facility.

CF does not take responsibility for loss or theft of any personal belongings. Any items left on CF premises will be kept for a period of one week before being disposed of.
CODE OF CONDUCT:
The Member shall respect the behavioural and operating principles of CF, as laid out in our code of conduct.

Classes are available according to times stated in the CF booking system. Classes and instructors are subject to change with no prior notice.
PAYMENT:
The Member is responsible for the payment of the membership. This is true even if the amount is debited directly by CF. Agreed price only applies if the Member pays according to the agreed conditions.
- The first month’s payment or pro-rata amount and any sign-up fee are paid at the point of this agreement.
- The following monthly payments will be debited on the same date each month. The member is responsible for all payments, also in the case of automatic debits by CF.
- If the payment is late the member will receive a reminder email from CF and access may be suspended. The membership continues to run even if the access is suspended. If after 30 days the amount is still not paid, the Member is in violation of the contract and the total outstanding amount of the contract will be due. CF may transfer the case to a debt collector, which will add additional fees.
- The Member has given approval for an automatic debit from his/her account or card.
- The cancellation must be announced a minimum of 60 days before the next debit by emailing barry@carrickfitnesscentre.com

- A cancellation is exceptionally granted if the Member moves more than ten miles away from the CF facility, on presentation of an official document to prove change of address.
- It is also possible to cancel the membership upon changes of a members health status, so long as health conditions affect the members ability to exercise and a medical certificate.
PRICE CHANGES:
All prices are fixed for the duration of a membership. Any price changes will be communicated at least one month prior to implementation.
