We ask that you give us 3 months notice to cancel. We understand that in the case of medical/redundancy reasons 3 months notice is not always possible. Under these circumstances we can cancel or suspend your membership immediately. Doctors note/proof of redundancy required.You need to be aware that if you sign a contract to join ANOTHER gym (for say a "minimum period of 12 months"), you are most likely to be committed to paying for a year's membership. If this is the case, you may not be able to cancel the contract. This can be the case, even if you pay by instalments or by direct debit. Once you have signed the contract you are legally committed to paying for the minimum duration. In cases where the membership subscription has been made in advance ("up front payment") you may not get a refund/partial refund. 1escape will issue a proportionate refund if requested for annually paid subscriptions. While it is open to you to stop your direct debit at any time, you should be aware, that this would not remove your payment obligations under the contract.
