Hi,

I paid a local gym upfront for 6 months from 30/01/2020, now the gym was closed due COVID for 2.5 months, the contract on hold. I knew that I’ll move away again after the 6 months, so now I have an extended gym membership that I don’t need and missed out on almost 50% the usage and paid for nothing.

what’s the legal side of things here? Does the gym Owner need to pay me back if I move away? There are no terms in the contract about it. See attachment. Thanks for your help, Linda

If the contract doesn't cover situations like closures or moving away, it can be tricky to demand a refund. Gym contracts often favor the business, and unless there's a specific clause about refunds or prorated membership for unexpected closures, you might face some resistance.

Some gyms are willing to offer partial refunds, credits, or even transfer options for unused time.

I’ve been looking for a good platform for online gaming, and I was really impressed by the range of features offered. The user interface is intuitive, and it’s easy to navigate through various options. The variety of games available is also a huge plus. I was particularly drawn to the seamless integration of payment systems, making it easier to get started.
