3. Types of Memberships | 3a. Monthly Memberships Contracts: Each monthly membership contract (or “contracted membership”) has a commitment period (or “contracted month(s)”) that the member agrees to complete payments for. A valid credit card or ACH must be used to complete payments and is subject to be charged for the contracted months. Payments are due each month on the established billing date and are automatically processed. | 3b. 1 Year Membership Contract: This membership contract requires a full one-time payment due at the time of sign-up/activation. | 3c. Class Packages: Class packages will activate as “class credits” once the first class is used and will be valid only for the length of time as listed. Failure to use any remaining class credits between activation and expiration date will result in a forfeiture of class credits. Refunds will not be given for unused credits. | 3d. Use of Classes: Assigned weekly class credits for limited monthly membership (i.e. memberships that do not include unlimited class participation) can be used any time between each month’s billing date. Failure to use class credits will result in a forfeiture of them for that month. Refunds will not be given for unused credits. (For example, if an individual is currently on a 2x/Week membership contract, he/she will have a total of 8 class credits to use each month during his/her membership.) | 3e. Other Types: 3 Day Trial Periods occur for 3-consecutive days and begin on the first day of attendance; no extensions.

(Rates of existing/executed contracts will not be affected by changes.)
4. Freezing a Contracted Membership | Memberships can be frozen after one month from activation. Freezing of a membership can only be done on a per month basis and absolutely cannot exceed more than 3 months in a year; exceeding 3 months may result in cancellation of a membership and all membership cancellation policies will apply. Please note that the month(s) when an account is frozen is/are not counted toward a commitment period or contracted months. Requests to freeze an account (notification and reason) must be submitted to info@breathejiujitsu.com at least 48 hours before the member’s next billing date to avoid being charged for that billing period; refunds will not be given in the event that the request is sent after the billing date.
5. Membership Cancellation Policies | All memberships are non-refundable, non-transferable and come with a 30-day cancellation notice policy.

This does not apply to no-contract memberships or packages. The first month will not be refunded and the membership will expire (1) month from activation. (For example, if you signed up on November 25, 2018 and submit a request to cancel your membership before November 28, 2018, the remaining contracted months of your membership will be cancelled. A refund for the first month of membership will not be provided and your membership will remain valid until December 25, 2018.) | 5b. Cancellations before the commitment period is completed: If a contracted membership is requested to be cancelled after the 3-day window has passed and before the commitment period is completed, the individual is subject to a penalty fee due to breach of contract. No exceptions. The penalty fee is equivalent to the price of (1) month of his/her current membership. The fees are due immediately and termination of the membership will occur on the next scheduled billing date. Requests to cancel a membership must be submitted 30 days before the member’s next billing date in order to avoid being charged for that billing period; refunds will not be given if a request to cancel a membership is not submitted within the required time frame and a bill has already been paid.
