TERMS OF SERVICE

If not a guest of a member, you must be 18 years or older. If a guest of a member, you must be 16 years or older. A member who is 18 years or older may bring a 13- to 15-year-old guest, but that member must supervise the younger guest to ensure the younger guest is doing age-appropriate exercise.

If a refund is due, a credit will automatically be put on the guest profile as credit for future use. The guest may request that the credit be refunded to a credit card or as cash.

Payments
Payments can be made with a credit card, debit card, personal check, or cash. If paying with a credit card, a 3% service fee will be applied to the charge.
Refunds
If a refund is due, a credit will automatically be put in the member’s respective DAC Wallet as a credit. When a future payment is due, credit in the membership’s DAC Wallet will be applied first and any remaining balance will be charged.

Monthly membership dues must be taken electronically from either a credit card, debit card, checking account, or savings account.

If the payment does not go through, the individual will be charged a $25 late fee and the individual will be restricted at check-in until the balance is paid. An individual is not allowed to participate in programs or use the facilities until unpaid balances are paid in full. If your account is past due it may be turned over to a collection agency. If your account is not paid in full and this account is turned over to a collection agency and/or attorney, then you agree to be responsible for all reasonable fees necessary for the collections of the delinquent account including, but not limited to, collection agency fees for 50% of the balance due and cost and reasonable attorney’s fee of 33% of the balance.
Cancellation
This contract is subject to early cancellation as follows: (1) within 3 business days after the first business day after the contract is signed by you. (2) you may cancel this contract in the event you move residences and such move results in your residence being located farther than 25 miles from DAC and you shall be liable for only that portion of the charges allocable to the time before reasonable evidence of your relocation is presented to DAC plus a fee equal to the lessor of 10% of the unused contract balance or $50, or (3) your death or disability which results in your inability to use or receive all services contracted for, you, or your estate as the case may be, shall be liable for only that portion of the charges allocable to the time prior to death or the onset of disability. DAC has the right to require and verify reasonable evidence of such death or disability. A notice of cancellation shall be made in writing and delivered by certified or registered mail to Decatur Athletic Club at 1010 W South Side Dr Decatur, IL 62521. All refunds to which you or your estate is entitled shall be made within 30 days of receipt of the cancellation notice.
The individual is responsible for all monthly membership dues and charges until a written cancellation is submitted to DAC. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if an individual needs to terminate their contract before it is completed, then the member will be charged a $200 early cancellation fee.
Contract Completion
Once an individual starts a contract, the individual’s monthly rate will not change during the time of the contract. Once the monthly contract period is complete, the agreement will automatically roll into a month-to-month format with the same monthly rate. It is the responsibility of the individual to cancel their membership. After the monthly contract period is completed and the individual is currently in the month-to-month format, if DAC has increased the rates for that respective option, then the individualwill be informed prior to a higher monthly rate being applied (such rate may not exceed 110%) of the rate the individual was paying at the time the original contract period ended. Once the initial contract period has been completed, it is the responsibility of the member to cancel their agreement.
Code of Conduct
DAC is a family-friendly environment. Individuals are expected to act accordingly. DAC may need to terminate a contract due to inappropriate behavior. In these rare instances, dues already paid will not be refunded.
Upgrade
If an individual wants to upgrade to another membership plan, then they may without being required to pay the early cancellation fee. The upgrade would start the “calendar” over. An upgrade is defined as moving to an option that has a higher monthly membership fee.
Hold
There are times an individual may need to put their DAC membership on hold because they, say, plan on being out of state for an extended period. A hold form will need to be completed and the appropriate monthly hold fee will need to be paid. The months a membership is put on hold do not count toward the completion of one’s initial contract period.
Medical Freeze
If a membership needs to be put on freeze for medical reasons, the member needs to provide DAC with a doctor’s note every three months to stay on a freeze unless the original note states how long. For a medical freeze, there is no hold fee applied.
Military Service
If a member is relocated out of the area due to military service, then the member can cancel their membership or put it on hold and there will be no hold fees or cancellation charges applied. Evidence of the military’s actions for the move or deployment needs to be provided. Upon cancellation due to such relocation, any prepaid fees shall be reimbursed in accordance with the terms of their contract.
Participation
The individual understands that the amount and extent to which they participate in exercise and other activities with DAC is their responsibility. Their failure to use DAC facilities does not constitute grounds for a refund or cancellation.
Release from Liability
The individual agrees that use of the facility will be at their own risk. The individual waives any claims for injury to them or for damage, loss or theft of their property arising out of or in connection with the use of DAC.
Marketing Release
The individual grants DAC, its representatives, and employees the right to take photographs and/or videos of them and their property in connection with the subject(s) identified above. The individual authorizes DAC’s assigns and transferees to copyright, use and publish the same in print and/or electronically. The individual agrees that DAC may use those photographs and/or videos of them and their property with or without their name and for any lawful purpose including, for example, publicity, illustration, advertising, web content, and social media.
Legally Binding Agreement
This contract is effective upon signing and cannot be cancelled by the individual except as provided above. The contract is valid upon acceptance by DAC management.
