Terms and Conditions

This Agreement is made between Aligne Studio Ptd Ltd operating fitness instructor training services under the name “ABOUND FITNESS” (the “PROGRAM”) (referred to herein as "The Trainer"), and the individual purchasing and receiving the training package (referred to herein as "The Client").

Definitions

The Trainer: Refers collectively to ABOUND FITNESS (Aligne Studio Ptd Ltd) and/or its agents, contractors, and employees responsible for providing the PROGRAM services.

The Client: Refers to the individual purchasing and receiving the training package.

The PROGRAM: Refers to the fitness instructor training services operated by Aligne Studio Ptd Ltd under the name “ABOUND FITNESS”.

Agreement and Acceptance (By Payment)

By submitting payment or any payment for the first instalment and any subsequent instalments due under this Agreement, The Client expressly confirms, acknowledges, and irrevocably agrees to be fully bound by all the Terms and Conditions set forth below.

The submission of payment constitutes a legally binding acceptance of this entire Agreement, which governs the provision of The PROGRAM by The Trainer to The Client.

Terms and Conditions

1. General Obligations

The Client must strictly comply with all instructions given by The Trainer and must always behave in a respectful and appropriate manner during all sessions and while using training facilities.

2. Instalment Payment

Payment for the first instalment period is due upon acceptance of this agreement (by submitting payment). Subsequent instalments are payable by the same date of each following month (e.g., if the first payment is January 15th, the next is due February 15th).

Should any instalment remain unpaid by its due date, The Trainer will issue a written notice of non-payment and grant a grace period of ten (10) business days to remedy the payment default.

If payment is still not received after this grace period, The Trainer reserves the exclusive right, at their sole discretion, to take either or both of the following actions:

(i) Forfeit all unused sessions from previously paid instalments; and/or

(ii) Terminate the entire package immediately, regardless of remaining sessions in the current instalment period.

These actions will stand unless alternative payment arrangements are mutually agreed upon by both parties in writing (via SMS, WhatsApp, or Email).

3. Cancellation of Scheduled Training Session

The Client must provide The Trainer with a minimum of nine (9) hours’ notice prior to the scheduled training session if cancellation is required. Failure to provide this notice will result in the forfeiture of the scheduled session.

Exceptions: Forfeiture will be waived in cases of documented medical emergencies or sudden illness. For urgent work or family obligations, exceptions may be granted at The Trainer's sole discretion.

Late Cancellation (Under 1 Hour): If cancellation occurs with less than one (1) hours’ notice and The Trainer has already travelled to the session location, the session will be automatically forfeited regardless of circumstances, with the sole exception being a documented medical emergency.

The Trainer reserves the right to request official documentation (e.g., doctor's note) for any exception claims.

4. Punctuality of Scheduled Training Session

Client Lateness: The Client’s session will end at the originally scheduled time even if The Client arrives late. The Trainer may, at their sole discretion, extend the session if their schedule permits.

Trainer Lateness: If The Trainer arrives late, The Trainer will compensate for the lost time by either extending the current session or adding the missed duration to The Client’s next scheduled session to ensure the full contracted training duration is fulfilled.

5. Termination by The Client

a. Medical Termination: The Client may terminate this agreement prior to package completion if they contract a serious illness or permanent physical incapacity. This requires a written request (via SMS, WhatsApp, or Email) with supporting medical documentation, subject to The Trainer's approval. If approved, The Trainer will issue a full refund of all monies paid for unused sessions, processed within sixty (60) calendar days of approval.

b. Non-Medical Termination: For all other reasons for termination, The Client must pay a Cancellation Fee equal to the higher of:

25% of the total remaining package value, OR S$500.

After deducting this Cancellation Fee, any remaining balance for unused sessions will be refunded and processed within sixty (60) calendar days. No refunds will be issued if the Cancellation Fee exceeds the remaining package value.

6. Transfer of Package

The Client may transfer their remaining package sessions to a third party due to travel, medical, or financial hardship. The third party must sign a separate Package Transfer Agreement and be willing and able to bear the liabilities as per this Agreement. Upon signing the Transfer Agreement, the third party must pay any outstanding balance instalment of the package.

7. Non-Compliance of Agreement by The Client

In the event of a breach of this Agreement by The Client (e.g., non-compliance with Clause 1 or damage in Clause 10(c)), The Trainer reserves the right to take action proportional to the severity of the breach, including (but not limited to):

a. Varying or terminating any part or all remaining sessions in the package.

b. Terminating this contract (which may trigger the terms of Clause 5(b) or result in forfeiture based on the severity of the breach).

c. Taking legal actions against The Client.

8. Upgrade of Package

The Client can choose to upgrade their package by paying the difference in price between the new package and their existing package amount paid. The upgrade and payment must be completed before the completion of half of their existing package sessions.

9. Trainer-Initiated Termination and Refund

In the event that The Trainer, at their sole discretion, decides to terminate this Contract for any reason not attributable to the actions or omissions of The Client, The Trainer shall provide a full refund of all monies paid by The Client for any unused personal training sessions or other services under this Contract. The refund shall be processed within sixty (60) calendar days. The Client agrees that this refund constitutes The Client's sole and exclusive remedy for any Trainer-initiated termination under this Clause.
