Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Re: Can health club set expiration date for services paid in full

like most transactions, typically the wording of the agreement or contract will be controlling on both parties. if you have your written agreement, you should look at the language regarding terms and usage of the training sessions your paid for to further evaluate your rights in this matter. if the agreement was oral, were there any conditions mentioned regarding expiration of the sessions? if you would like further assistance, email my office directly today with more details on the agreement, what was said or written, as well as how much you are out of pocket now based on the opposing party failing to honor your sessions now.

Re: Can health club set expiration date for services paid in full

I have not seen a law that prohibits a health club from setting an expiration date. I can tell you, however, that there are some very good consumer protection laws in California that protect members of health clubs. It's very possible that the health club violated one of these laws, thus giving you an indepedent reason to get out of your contract.

If you fax me a copy of your contract -- 312-913-9401 -- I would be happy to take a look at it and give you a more complete answer (free of charge).
