All membership fees and charges shall be paid by you monthly through “automatic” withdrawal (“ACH”) or electronic fund transfer (“EFT”) from the account you provide us.  All monthly fees and charges will automatically be withdrawn from your account on this day of each month. If your start date differs from your end date, you will be charged a pro-rated membership fee upon execution of this Agreement and your full membership fee on the date specified. You agree the automatic withdrawals (payments) will continue during your membership unless this Agreement is terminated in writing as provided herein. The provisions in this Section shall not apply to Paid in Full memberships which shall be paid in one payment in advance through ACH or EFT. All fees and charges paid are non-refundable except as otherwise stated herein. 

You hereby authorize us to access information from your checking/debit/credit account indicated above, to withdraw funds from that account for your fees/charges hereunder, and to initiate credit and/or debit entries by ETF or ACH transfer from the account. This authority is to remain in full force and effect until we have received written notification from you of its termination in such time and in such manner as to afford us a reasonable opportunity to act on it.

If your payment account information (such as credit or debit card) has changed or expired, it is up to you to update us as to that account.  You will be notified given the email address you provided us if your card is near expiration. Contact us at (608) 788-0441 regarding how to change your payment account in our billing system. We are not liable for any incorrect, erroneous, or false credit card, debit card, bank account, routing number, or wire transfer information that you provide to us. You agree to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify us for any causes of action, claims, damages, demands, expenses, fines, investigations, liabilities, and penalties incurred by us to any third party arising out of your providing us any incorrect, erroneous, or false credit card, debit card, bank account, routing number, or wire transfer information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may cancel your membership during the first thirty (30) days of your Membership Term by giving written notice of cancellation to us and you will receive a full refund of all payments that you made to us. In addition to the other cancellation provisions set forth herein, you can also terminate your membership after the expiration of the Membership Term by providing us with thirty (30) days advanced written notice of termination.  You will be charged membership fees and other charges hereunder through the effective date of termination. You may also cancel your membership for any of the following reasons:

(a) If you are pregnant or have an illness (that is not a disability) which precludes you from using the facility for three (3) consecutive months and the condition is verified by a physician.  Upon cancellation under this paragraph, you will be assessed a charge equal to 50% of the membership fees per month for each month remaining in the Membership Term and any fees paid to us in excess of the aforementioned total cancellation charge will be refunded to you.
