Contract Help Needed
Discussion
I joined my uni gym yesterday signing something along the lines of "'I agree to abide by the rules and regulations of the gym and the terms and conditions of membership attached, in particular, I cannot cancel my membership until I have fulfilled the whole contract period.' To this end, membership refunds will not be issued under any circumstances".
I've now a bit unsure about my decision due to my work load and the contract is for a full 12 months, I therefore want to know whether that contract is all I have or whether there is something that would allow me to get out of it if I so choose - i.e. A cooling off period?
Any help much appreciated, thanks, Arry.

Have you got a copy of the contract you signed? It will say if there is a cooling off period.
It is customary to have a cooling off period with distance selling, but not sure if it applies to other contracts unless it specifically says so in the contract. Did you use the gym when you signed up? as it may be more difficult to cancel once you have actually started to use the service.

I'd say probably think harder before you sign something!!I've now a bit unsure about my decision due to my work load and the contract is for a full 12 months, I therefore want to know whether that contract is all I have or whether there is something that would allow me to get out of it if I so choose - i.e. A cooling off period?

It's quite clear, and in simple language. You can't cancel.

You could try the digy ticker argument, but beware karma. I once had a client who didged court by saying he had a heart problem which had just been discovered. He dropped dead of a heart attack two days later.
You signed it, you're stuck with it!
