CA laws for expiration of training services

back end of 2004 I purchased a set of personal training sessions with a local fitness club which I prepaid.

I realized today that I have 3 unused sessions left and I contacted the club to schedule the sessions.

I was told that due to the puchase date the eligibility to take these sessions expired as per the contract. Plus the trainer who was with the fitness place and working with me is no longer there which was stated as the additional reason for expiration of services I already paid for.

1) Is this accurate and in compliance with CA state law? does California law?

2) If not, what is your advice how to proceed?

Regards,

Patricia

Re: CA laws for expiration of training services

The law on point is California Civil Code Sections 1812.80, et seq.

The maximum term of a heath contract is three years. If you entered into this contract more than three years ago, your rights have expired as a matter of law.

If you entered into this contract less than three years ago, your rights will be determined by the contract language. In that event, you should read the contract carefully.
