Once you accept these terms and conditions as part of the sign-up process, they will create a legally binding contract between you and Tiree Community Gym C.I.C. 

You must accept these terms if you wish to become a member of Tiree Community Gym C.I.C.

If you do not wish to be bound by these terms you should not accept them, and your membership of the gym will  not proceed.


Membership:

We offer two membership options to make the gym as accessible as possible:

(a) Standard Membership - an ongoing membership, with a 3-month minimum term (initial term);  and

(b)   Short Term Membership - a single monthly  membership.

Regardless of which membership option you chose, you are required to  become a registered member of the gym before use. Where you become a registered member you shall be bound by these and to accept these terms and conditions.

You can become a registered member and pay your membership subscription on your phone or computer at https://tireegym.clubright.co.uk/register or join in person by appointment.

You must be 13 years or older to become a registered member. Members aged under 16  must be always accompanied and supervised by an adult member who is over the age of 18.

 

Payment of member subscription:

We do not charge a joining fee. Where you have an ongoing membership we will collect the first month's membership by Debit / Credit card at time of purchase. Thereafter your subscription will be collected monthly by Direct Debit. 

Where you sign up for a single monthly membership you will pay this by Debit/Credit card at the time of purchase.  This payment will not be refundable.

If any Direct Debit is returned unpaid or if any other form of payment is not honoured for whatever reason we may suspend your membership until you have paid any overdue amount. If  despite us having notified you of a missed payment, further payments are missed, we may terminate your membership, upon giving you written notice of our intention to do so.

From time to time, we may need to increase the price of membership. We will give you at least 1 full months' notice of any incoming price increase and will make it very clear when the price increase will take effect and how much your membership will cost after the increase. During this period, you will have your usual right to terminate your membership. If you do not terminate the membership by the date given to you in the notice, then the price of your membership will be increased in accordance with our notice.


Access and inductions: 

To use the gym, or to attend a gym class,  even for a single session, you must become a registered member of the gym and be issued with an access PIN and/or QR code. The facility is not staffed, and you require to access the gym via our electronic entry system. 

You will need to complete a Health Declaration / PARQ  (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) on joining and  provide us with your personal details. You should advise us immediately of any changes to the PARQ (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) which may mean that you should not use the gym.

Your personal details will be processed in accordance with our privacy policy https://tireegym.clubright.co.uk/privacy

You will also be required to undergo an induction with one of our approved and qualified instructors (which may take several days to organise depending on their availability) to become familiar with the equipment, the entry & exit procedure, and gym etiquette. This will take approx. 15-60 minutes, depending on your previous experience of gym use. If you are in any doubt, please book an induction aimed at an inexperienced user which allows more time for assistance and questions.  There is no charge for the induction but where you book an induction and fail to turn up or cancel on less than 12 hours’ notice, we reserve the right to charge you a fee of £10 to cover our costs.

 

Security of Pin and QR Code:

The pin and/or QR code is personal to you. You must keep this safe and not share it with anyone or allow anyone else to use it to access the gym (whether they are with you or not). Use of pin numbers/ QR codes are  monitored in the interests of the safety and security of all our members. You may be asked to provide proof of identification. 

You should use your Pin or QR Code to swipe in and out each time (even if you are with other members). This allows us to monitor the number of users in the gym at any time.

If we believe that your Pin or QR Code has been used by another individual we may suspend your membership pending the conduct of an investigation.  If following investigation we, acting reasonably,  believe that your Pin or QR code has been used by another individual we may either terminate your membership on giving you written notice or charge you an access fee each time your Pin or QR code has been used by another individual

 

Termination of Membership and Cancellation:

We may terminate your membership where you fail to pay your membership subscription (See Payment of Member Subscription) or where you allow your Pin or QR Code to be misused (See Security of Pin/ QR Code). In addition, we may terminate your membership where you materially breach any other provision of these terms on giving you written notice.

 By law, you are entitled to cancel your membership and receive a full refund of any fees paid within 14 days of completing your membership application form. if you have already started your membership within that 14-day period, you agree that if you subsequently cancel your membership within the 14-day period, you will be refunded any monies paid, less an amount for the membership you have already used commencing from the day of joining.
