Membership Ts&Cs

• We reserve the right to cancel memberships for any reason that contravenes the college's Safeguarding policy.
• Due to the gym being part of an educational institution, and our Keeping Children Safe responsibilities, we require members to disclose any criminal convictions. The Designated Safeguarding Officer (DSO) will review the disclosure details and decide if your membership can be approved.

Cancellations

Memberships can only be cancelled by a member of staff, you do not have the authority to cancel your membership through ClubRight. Gym memberships must be cancelled directly through the club (EDC GYM) and not by cancelling your Direct Debit. If you cancel your Direct Debit without cancelling your membership, your payments will continue to be due and any unpaid amounts will accumulate on your account. 

Please provide at least two weeks' notice before your Direct Debit collection date to cancel your membership.

Not attending the gym/classes does not mean your membership will automatically be cancelled, we will only cancel a membership if notified by the member.

To cancel, contact us on 0191 518 8310 or email leanne.tinkler@eastdurham.ac.uk.

For more information, please speak to a member of our team.
