Safety first!

Your health and safety is important to us. This clause sets out some of the things we require of you to help achieve that objective.

(a) Your physical condition

A safe and effective exercise program is dependent upon accurate health and fitness profiling. It is therefore essential that you tell us in writing all relevant personal health and fitness information both before (through our Pre-Screen Form) and during the course of any exercise program or other activity.

You promise that information you disclose to us will be true and accurate and not misleading in any way. You must not attend and use the facilities and services whilst you are suffering from any illness, disease, injury or other condition that could present a risk to the health or safety of other members, guests or yourself.

(b) Proper use of equipment

We will provide you with an instructional consultation with a staff member before using the facilities and services which you must attend before use. In any case, you promise to take care when using the facilities and services and make sure that you use the facilities and services including equipment appropriately and safely. If you are ever not sure how to operate any equipment properly, please ask a staff member before you use it.

We display rules that apply to everyone using the facilities and services in order to promote health and safety and the protection of property called the (A Fit Studio Rules (Rules). A copy of our Rules may be displayed on our website and on signage. Please make sure that you read our Rules carefully and ask us if there is anything you are not sure about.

We may occasionally update our Rules to further promote health and safety or to make other improvements. We will seek to tell you of any changes as set out below, though we expect you to keep familiar with the current version of our Rules by reading our website and signage on a regular basis.

If you break our Rules, the response we take will be at our reasonable choosing and we will try to exercise this right fairly by giving you a warning if we consider the failure is less serious. In this regard however you acknowledge that health and safety of all users and protection of property is very important. Accordingly, if we reasonably consider the failure to follow our Rules is serious or persistent we may suspend or even cancel your client agreement with immediate effect.

(d) We can refuse you entry

We can refuse you entry to the facilities and services or cancel your client agreement immediately if you behave in a way that is seriously risky or inappropriate, such as if you threaten or harass others, deliberately or recklessly damage equipment or facilities or if you use or distribute illegal or performance enhancing drugs.

(e) Please follow our directions

You agree to follow any reasonable direction of a member of our staff relating to health and safety, in an emergency or any other matter.

(b) Video monitoring

We may use video monitoring in our facilities for health, safety and security reasons. If you have any queries in relation to the use of monitors operating in and around our facilities, please contact us.

Outside providers

We will seek to make sure those franchisees, contractors and other authorised persons who provide services at the facilities (outside providers) are appropriately qualified before granting them access. Examples of outside providers include such as coaches, physiotherapists, masseurs and personal trainers who may offer additional services from the facilities that are not included with your Client Agreement. Please note that outside providers are neither employed by us nor are they our agents, even if they happen to be wearing clothes displaying our name and logo. You will know that they are outside providers because they will require payment of their fee direct from you when you engage them.
This is important because we are not liable for any injury, loss or other claims arising from breach of contract, negligence or otherwise that are suffered by you in connection with any outside provider services, other than to the extent caused by our negligence. In addition, you release us and hold us harmless in relation to any such claims.
We have no responsibility in respect of the fees that you must pay directly to outside providers nor for any associated costs or refunds. However, please advise us if you have a problem with an outside provider and we will try to help if we can. Nothing in this clause limits our liability for the actions of our employees or agents.

Other services

There may be other services offered at the facilities that do not form part of your Client Agreement type but are available for you to purchase separately. These are not part of the services provided under your Client Agreement and you will be advised at the time if any additional terms apply to these services.

Our liability to you

(a) Statutory guarantees

ACL: The Australian Consumer Law (ACL) contained in the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (CCA) provides certain guarantees in sections 60 to 62 (statutory guarantees) which generally require that services supplied to you:
are rendered with due care and skill,

are reasonably fit for any purpose which you, either expressly or by implication, make known to the supplier and might reasonably be expected to achieve any result you have made known to the supplier and

are supplied within a reasonable time (when no time is set).

Permitted exclusion: However, the CCA permits a supplier of recreational services to ask you to accept some limitations on those statutory guarantees. Accordingly, to the extent permitted by section 139A of the CCA, you acknowledge and agree that we exclude all liability to you for death or injury resulting from a failure by us to comply with any statutory guarantee.

In the previous sentence, “injury” means:

physical or mental injury (including the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of such an injury);

the contraction, aggravation or acceleration of a disease; or

the coming into existence, the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of any condition, circumstance, occurrence, activity, form of behaviour, course of conduct or state of affairs in relation to you that is or may be harmful or disadvantageous to you or the community, or that may result in harm or disadvantage to you or the community.

Reckless conduct: This exclusion of liability does not apply if you have suffered any significant personal injury that is caused by our reckless conduct (within the meaning given to those terms by the CCA).

(b) General exclusions

Please note that nothing in this agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any term, condition, warranty, guarantee, right or remedy (including under a statutory guarantee) which cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.

Otherwise, and except as expressly included in this agreement, all implied terms, conditions, warranties, rights or other additional obligations that can be lawfully excluded are excluded from this agreement. Subject to the preceding paragraph, we are not liable for:

negligence; or

breach of terms implied that services will be provided with reasonable care and skill

at common law that in either case results in your death or injury (as defined in paragraph (a) above in connection with or under this agreement, but to avoid doubt we do not exclude liability for our reckless conduct.

Loss of property

You promise that you will not unnecessarily bring valuables into the facility. We are not responsible if someone takes your property, other than to the extent we have not complied with our obligations in respect of this service under a statutory guarantee. Maintaining the security of unattended property in the facility is not part of the service we provide under this agreement.

Your responsibility for damage

You agree to pay for any damage to the facilities caused by you or your guests through a wilful act or negligence.

General legal guff

(a) Unexpected events

We are not liable if you cannot use your Client Agreement due to anything beyond our reasonable control. If that failure or delay continues for more than 30 days, then either you or we can cancel this agreement with immediate effect by telling the other in writing. We are entitled to make part or all of the facilities unavailable for up to two weeks during each calendar year to undertake maintenance, repairs or improvements, in which case we will extend your Client Agreement by the time you are unable to use the facilities.

(b) Our logo and intellectual property

No rights in relation to our logo, trademarks or any other intellectual property rights associated with our business, techniques, exercise programs or classes are granted to you under this agreement, except that any exercise program created for you may be used while you are a member for the purpose of your exercise activities.

We can transfer the rights or benefit under this agreement or sub-contract our obligations under this agreement to a third party at any time without notice to you but in doing so we will make sure that the transferee agrees to honour the terms of your Client Agreement.

Severability and waiver

If a court finds that any part of any term of this agreement is or becomes illegal, void or unenforceable, that part is deleted and this does not invalidate the rest of this agreement. If we do not enforce our rights under this agreement at any time, it does not mean that we may not do so on future occasions.

Applicable law

The law of the State/Territory specified in the details applies to this agreement.
