SALT Cycle Membership Contract
Membership Terms & Conditions
This Membership Contract (“Contract”) is an agreement between the undersigned member (“MEMBER”) and SALT Cycle Studio (“STUDIO”). By signing this Contract, the MEMBER agrees to the following terms:
1. Membership Details
• Membership Type: Unlimited Rides 6-Month Minimum Commitment
• Membership Fee: $159 per month
• Minimum Commitment Period: 6 Months
• Billing: Autopay recurs monthly (forever) until terminated by the MEMBER.
• Booking Window: 18 days
• Guest Allowance: 1 guest per month (no rollover)
• Shoe Rental: Complimentary. Guests’ shoe rental is an additional charge.
• Excludes: Ticketed events
2. Cancellation Policy
• All cancellation requests must be submitted via email to info@saltcyclestudios.com at least 30 days in advance.
• If cancellation occurs before the minimum commitment period is fulfilled, an early termination fee of 50% of the monthly membership fee for each remaining month will apply.
• Example: If canceling a 6-month membership at $159 per month during month 2, the early termination fee would be $79.50 (50% of monthly fee) x 4 months remaining = $318.
• Requests made within 30 days of the next billing cycle will result in one additional month being charged, plus any applicable fees.
Moving Clause
If a MEMBER relocates more than 25 miles away from SALT Cycle Studio, they may request to cancel their membership early without penalty. The MEMBER must provide written notice and proof of relocation (such as a utility bill, lease, or other documentation) to info@saltcyclestudios.com. A 30-day notice is still required, and the membership will remain active during that time.
3. Freeze Policy
• Membership freezes are offered in one-month intervals only, with a maximum freeze period of three months per calendar year.
• The first freeze is complimentary. Each additional month will incur a $25 fee.
• Medical freezes are available free of charge with supporting documentation.
• Freezing time does not stop your membership payments. The time of any freeze will be added to the end of your membership’s original term.
4. Reservation & Class Policies
• Cancellation Policy: Class cancellations must be made at least 5 hours prior to the class start time.
• Late Cancellation: $5 fee
• No Show: $10 fee
5. Termination by the STUDIO
The STUDIO reserves the right to terminate a membership for violation of any rules, policies, or failure to make payments as required. In the event of termination, all outstanding fees, including early termination fees, will be due immediately.
6. Payment
A. Authorization
By signing this Agreement, you authorize SALT CYCLE STUDIO to electronically deduct monthly dues, fees, and any other charges from the payment method on file. These charges will recur automatically on the calendar day of purchase and will continue until your membership is canceled or terminated. You are financially responsible for all amounts owed in connection with your membership, including any fees due upon cancellation.
B. Payment Terms
• You are financially responsible for paying any dues, fees, and charges associated with your membership, which may vary month-to-month.
• In the event that your credit card is declined due to expiration or other changes, you authorize SALT CYCLE STUDIO to reprocess your payment using an expiration date updater program.
• The expiration or cancellation of your credit card or other payment method does not automatically cancel your membership.
C. Three-Day Grace Period
• If a payment is declined, you will be notified immediately via email. You have a three-day grace period to update your payment information and fulfill your dues. During this grace period, you will still be able to access the studio and book classes.
• If payment is not received within the three-day grace period, your account will be suspended, and you will not be able to book or attend classes until the balance is paid.
D. Late Fees and Membership Suspension
• If you fail to pay any dues or balances 20 days past their due date, a late fee of up to 18% per annum or $2 per month (whichever is greater) will apply.
• If you fail to pay any dues or balances 30 days past their due date, your membership may be suspended. Full payment of outstanding balances and applicable fees will be required to reinstate your membership.
E. Collection of Outstanding Balances
• If any outstanding balances remain unpaid for more than 60 days, SALT CYCLE STUDIO may pursue collection efforts, including turning your account over to a collection agency. Any collection costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, will be the responsibility of the MEMBER.
F. Cancellation Fees
• Early termination of a membership before the minimum commitment period will result in an early termination fee as outlined in the membership agreement.
G. Refund Policy
• All membership sales are final. No refunds will be issued for unused classes, packages, or memberships, including in cases where the MEMBER does not use the studio facilities during the membership period.
• In the case of early termination of a membership before the minimum commitment period, no refunds will be issued for any portion of the membership fees already paid, and any applicable early termination fees will still apply.
7. Chargebacks
• If a MEMBER disputes a payment (chargeback) through their credit card provider without prior notice to the STUDIO, their membership will be immediately suspended, and their ability to book or attend classes will be revoked until the issue is resolved.
• If the chargeback is found to be valid, any applicable fees and outstanding balances must be paid before the MEMBER’s account can be reinstated.
• The MEMBER is responsible for any chargeback fees incurred by the STUDIO as a result of the dispute.
• The MEMBER agrees to contact the STUDIO directly regarding any billing issues before disputing a charge with their financial institution, allowing the STUDIO the opportunity to resolve the matter.
