Membership does not confer any interest in the property or assets of Active Wellness Center at Petaluma or owner (if not Active Wellness Center at Petaluma) or any right to participate in the management or operations of Active Wellness Center at Petaluma, financially or otherwise.
SECTION 2: FEES & CHARGES
Registration Fees. As a condition of membership, Member shall pay a registration fee to Active Wellness Center at Petaluma.

Dues. Member shall pay dues each month pursuant to an electronic funds transfer (EFT) as set forth on page 1 of this Agreement and may terminate his/her membership in accordance with the resignation procedures outlined in Article III, Section 4 of this Agreement. The dues for each category of membership shall be subject to change. The amount of such dues will be automatically transferred from Member’s bank account or credit card once each month on or after the due date for payment. A service fee may be assessed each month Active Wellness Center at Petaluma is unable, for any reason, to receive payment via EFT for any and all dues and/or charges owed to Active Wellness Center at Petaluma. Member will pay the dues of any and all additional members added to the Member’s membership. If Member elects to prepay his/her dues in advance, at the end of the prepaid period his/her membership dues will automatically revert to monthly dues billing.
Club Charges. Member may establish club charging privileges by providing a credit or debit card account authorization where indicated on page 1 of this Agreement. Such account information is stored electronically by Active Wellness Center at Petaluma for purchases by Member of in-house goods and services which are billed on the date of purchase and reflected on Member’s credit or debit card statement. Club Charge account information is stored electronically and will not be present at the time of purchase.

SECTION 3: FACILITIES & ACCESS
Facility Privileges. Privileges to use one or more Facilities vary depending upon the type of membership selected by Member, which is set forth on page 1 of this Agreement and may be changed from time to time.
Unavailability of Facilities. The obligation to pay dues is not dependent on the availability of all or any particular Facilities at all times, or the type or quantity of the classes or equipment offered at the Facilities. If at any time during the term of the contract, including a transfer of the contractual obligation, Active Wellness Center at Petaluma eliminates or substantially reduces the scope of the facilities, such as swimming pools or tennis courts, that were described in the contract, in an advertisement relating to the specific location, or in a written offer, and available to Member upon execution of this Agreement, Member may cancel the Agreement and receive a pro-rated refund. Member may not cancel the contract pursuant to this subdivision if Active Wellness Center at Petaluma, after giving reasonable notice, temporarily takes facilities out of operation for reasonable repairs, modifications, substitutions, or improvements. This subdivision shall not be interpreted to give Member the right to cancel the Agreement because of changes to the type or quantity of classes or equipment offered, provided Member is informed in the contract that Active Wellness Center at Petaluma reserves the right to make changes to the type or quantity of classes or equipment offered and the changes to the type or quantity of classes or equipment offered are reasonable under the circumstances.
SECTION 4: RESIGNATION & TERMINATION
Voluntary Resignation. The initial term of this Agreement is set forth on page 1 of this Agreement. Voluntary resignation during the initial term is permitted only if the entire amount owed and due through the end of the term is paid.
After Initial Term.

A prorated portion of the current month's hold fee may be applied to the final dues payment. Dues will continue to accrue until the resignation is effective. No resignation will be effective and dues shall continue to be payable until all required payments have been received by Active Wellness Center at Petaluma. After Member’s resignation has become effective, he/she will not be subject to any further dues and all membership privileges will be terminated. Unless otherwise noted, all members on a family or corporate membership will be converted to individual memberships and subject to the dues of that category upon termination of this membership. If membership dues were prepaid, cancellation of membership within the prepaid time period will negate any prepayment discount and any refund will be calculated accordingly taking into account the full, non-discounted dues owing for such period.
Involuntary Termination. Active Wellness Center at Petaluma reserves the right at any time to decline, suspend, or terminate the membership or privileges of any member for failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or with any rules and regulations adopted by the Active Wellness Center at Petaluma, or for any conduct the Active Wellness Center at Petaluma determines in its discretion to be improper or in any way contrary to the best interest of the Active Wellness Center at Petaluma and its membership, or due to a member or applicant's criminal conviction history.
