2(b) The duration of this agreement is based on a monthly rolling from the 1st of each month, until you choose to cancel your membership.
2(c) In the event of cancellation, you are liable to a month’s notice and Aphobos CrossFit will not refund any classes not used by you as part of your selected membership(s) in that billing month or backdated, as fees are charged on a whole month basis.

3(c) You acknowledge that to provide the highest standards of facilities, Aphobos may need to close certain or all facilities temporarily for decorating, cleaning, essential repairs or maintenance of equipment. This might disrupt the provision of services but you agree that this shall not amount to a breach of this agreement by Aphobos.
3(d) In the event that Aphobos is required to close its premises, change or adapt its timetable, programs and/or any other services, due to force majeure (see also item 11) (e.g. Covid-19) we are not responsible for providing a refund but an alternative service.

No refunds or reductions will be given in this event.
