Relates to the cancellation of a health club contract
This bill amends state law to strengthen consumer protections for health club memberships by requiring clubs to accept cancellations within ten business days of receiving notice. It mandates that contracts include clear notices about cancellation rights, which apply during an initial three-day cooling-off period and under specific circumstances such as death, significant disability, moving more than 25 miles away, or if services are discontinued. The legislation also updates refund timelines to ten business days and expands the methods through which members can cancel, including via website, email, phone, mail, or in person. Additionally, it adjusts cancellation windows for contract renewals, allowing members to cancel annual renewals within fifteen business days and monthly renewals within three business days after the renewal takes effect.
