1.2 Members: people we accept to become members of the Scheme, being aged 16 or above. If the Member is under the age of 18 years the Members parent or guardian must act as a guarantor for the membership and will be responsible for the payment of the membership.

2. Membership Entitlement

2.1 Membership of the Scheme gives you the right to use certain facilities and activities operated by SIV, as specified in relation to the Scheme, subject to the exclusions outlined below.

2.2 Each Venue has its own individual management rules, which we may change or alter from time to time. Copies of the individual rules are available on request. You must comply with the management rules for the facility and the Venue that you are using.

2.3 At certain times, access to or use of a particular Venue or activity may not be possible. You will not be entitled to any refund or compensation should this happen.

2.4 We reserve the right to alter the terms of the Scheme (including these Terms and Conditions) at any time, by, for example, amending the list of facilities and venues that can be used under the Scheme, altering the activities offered at each Venue and varying the times at which off peak membership applies. Where a change is proposed that is more than minor or technical (for example, an increase in membership fees) you will be given no less than 28 day’s notice. SIV reserves the right to reject an application for membership of the Scheme for any reason and will not be liable to you in respect of any such rejection.

2.5 You will comply with the conditions of use applying to each Venue from time to time, however, if there is a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the conditions of use for any Venue, these Terms and Conditions will prevail.

2.6 SIV reserves the right following your gym induction to ask for appropriate documentation to prove that it is appropriate for you to enter into this Agreement. This includes, without limitation, a doctor’s certificate of fitness to exercise or certificate of fitness to enter into this contract. Where such documentation is requested your Membership will be suspended until the documentation is provided and you will not be entitled to use any of the facilities referred to in clause 2.1.

2.7 Certain categories of Member may not have access to all of the facilities at each Venue included in the Scheme.
