If membership is suspended, Member may have membership reinstated to active status by paying all past due and current membership fees and charges in full.
Section 2. Cancellation for Violation of Rules or Misconduct. All Members agree to and are subject to Fox Fitness` published rules and policies, as they may be amended from time to time by Fox Fitness in its sole discretion. The rules are posted in the clubs, are available at the front desk, or can be found in this agreement. Fox Fitness reserves the right at any time to cancel the membership, or membership privileges of any individual on a membership, for failure to comply with any of the rules and policies of Fox Fitness, for any violation of the terms of this contract, or for any conduct Fox Fitness deems to be improper or harmful to the best interests of Fox Fitness, its staff and its members. The membership, or membership privileges of a particular individual on a membership, may be canceled in person, by email notification, or written notification mailed to the last address on Fox Fitness records for the membership.

Failure to provide the verification within ten (10) days of Fox Fitness` request will delay the effective date of the cancellation to the date the verification is received by Fox Fitness.

Should Member move further than 30 miles from Fox Fitness, Member shall be relieved from the obligation of making payment for services other than those received prior to the move. Member must submit documentation verifying the relocation within ten (10) days of Member seeking to cancel the membership based on the relocation.
