01

Article 1, Applicability

1. These terms and conditions apply to all agreements between CrossFit Gold Pact and its members or customers, including memberships, trial memberships, drop-ins and other services.

2. The terms are made available to the member before or when the agreement is concluded and are accessible electronically.

3. By entering into an agreement, the member confirms that he or she has been able to read and accepts the terms.

4. Additional or deviating agreements are only valid if CrossFit Gold Pact has confirmed them in writing or electronically.

02

Article 2, Membership

1. A membership gives the member access to the services and the number of classes included in the chosen membership.

2. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, an initial minimum term of 3 months applies. After that, the membership continues for an indefinite period until cancelled in accordance with Article 4.

3. Trial memberships, drop-ins, event tickets and other one-off products or services may have their own terms and duration and do not automatically constitute an ongoing membership.

4. Memberships are personal and may not be transferred to or used by another person without prior permission from CrossFit Gold Pact.

5. The specific services, class credits and other benefits are determined by the chosen membership.

03

Article 3, Membership fee and payment

1. The member is liable for the membership fee that corresponds to the chosen membership.

2. The membership fee is charged in advance every four weeks. This means there are 13 payment periods of four weeks per year.

3. Unless otherwise agreed, the payment is automatically collected by direct debit at the beginning of each new four-week period.

4. The current price, payment frequency and any additional mandatory costs are clearly communicated before the agreement is concluded.

5. CrossFit Gold Pact may adjust its rates periodically. Members will be informed at least one month before the new price takes effect.

6. Price adjustments may occur due to inflation, higher operating costs, tax changes or other circumstances that reasonably affect the cost of service delivery.

7. If a price adjustment substantially increases the membership fee and the member has a statutory right to cancel as a result, the member may do so before the new price takes effect. The member's statutory rights remain unaffected.

04

Article 3.1, Failed or overdue payments

1. If an automatic direct debit fails, CrossFit Gold Pact may inform the member and request payment of the outstanding amount.

2. The member remains responsible for timely payment of the membership fee.

3. If payment is not made, CrossFit Gold Pact may temporarily suspend access to classes, Open Gym and/or other services until the outstanding amount is paid. Suspension does not automatically terminate the membership or payment obligation.

4. Before charging statutory collection costs to a consumer, CrossFit Gold Pact sends the legally required payment reminder with a period of at least 14 days to settle the amount, in accordance with Dutch law.

5. Collection costs and statutory interest are only charged to the extent the law permits.

6. CrossFit Gold Pact reserves the right to terminate a membership in case of repeated or prolonged non-payment, without prejudice to the right to collect outstanding amounts.

05

Article 4, Duration and cancellation

1. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, a membership has an initial minimum term of 3 months.

2. After this minimum term, the membership automatically continues for an indefinite period.

3. After the minimum term, the member can cancel your membership at any time with four weeks' notice.

4. Cancellation can be done by email to info@goldpact.nl, via the member portal (where this function is available) or via another method offered by CrossFit Gold Pact.

5. Where the law requires it, the member may also cancel the membership in the same way as the agreement was concluded.

6. CrossFit Gold Pact confirms the cancellation and the end date of the membership.

7. Membership fees are due until the effective end date.

8. If the member has already paid membership fees for a period after the end date, this portion will be refunded where applicable.

9. Statutory rights to cancel or terminate an agreement early for valid reasons remain unaffected.

06

Article 5, Changing a membership

1. Members can request an upgrade or downgrade of their membership at any time.

2. Unless otherwise agreed, a change takes effect at the start of the next four-week billing period.

3. A requested change is only final after confirmation by CrossFit Gold Pact.

4. A change does not automatically create a new initial minimum term unless explicitly agreed with the member.

5. Any change to the membership fee will be communicated before the change takes effect.

07

Article 6, Pausing a membership

1. CrossFit Gold Pact offers the possibility to temporarily pause a membership.

2. A pause can start from any agreed date and is not limited to the start of a four-week billing period.

3. The minimum duration of a pause is four consecutive weeks.

4. A pause must be requested in advance by email to info@goldpact.nl or via another method offered by CrossFit Gold Pact. Unless otherwise agreed, the request must be submitted at least 10 days before the desired start date.

5. The member provides both the desired start date and the intended reactivation date with the request.

6. During the pause, membership rights, including access to classes and Open Gym, are suspended.

7. No regular membership fee is charged for the pause period. If the four-week membership fee has already been paid and the pause starts within that period, the unused portion will be credited or the next payment date will be moved.

8. At the end of the pause, the membership is automatically reactivated. Access and payments resume from that date.

9. The four-week payment cycle may shift due to a pause.

10. A pause does not constitute cancellation of the membership.

11. Unless otherwise agreed, a pause suspends the initial minimum term of 12 weeks during this period. The remaining portion continues after reactivation.

12. In exceptional circumstances, such as prolonged injury, pregnancy or other reasonable situations, CrossFit Gold Pact may make alternative arrangements.

08

Article 7, Classes, schedule and facilities

1. CrossFit Gold Pact strives to offer the published class schedule and services as consistently as possible.

2. CrossFit Gold Pact may reasonably change the schedule, coaches, class formats, opening times or availability of facilities when necessary for business operations.

3. Individual classes may be changed, moved or cancelled due to, for example, public holidays, insufficient registrations, illness or absence of a coach, maintenance, safety reasons, force majeure or other circumstances that reasonably prevent the class.

4. Incidental changes, substitutions or cancellations do not automatically entitle the member to a refund or compensation.

5. If CrossFit Gold Pact is unable to provide a substantial part of the agreed services for an extended period, the member retains the rights that Dutch law provides.

3. If CrossFit Gold Pact bases the use of identifiable photos or videos for promotion or marketing on consent, members are given the opportunity to opt-in.
