The agreement that the fitness card cannot be returned is not an exemption clause, but an act that infringes on the rights and interests of consumers. The services agreed between consumers and gyms are not special goods and services, and should follow the rules that operators should bear the responsibility for replacement and return. Because personal fitness involves the contractual nature of personal rights, it is not an enforceable contract. The fitness service contract formed between consumers and gyms has strong personal attributes and does not belong to the contract that can be enforced; The refund of fitness card is not an unbreakable iron law. Even if the agreement signed with the gym indicates that it is not refundable, once it is sold, the fee will not be refunded, and other similar terms can be deemed invalid.
Gym is non-refundable, and the rights protection methods are as follows:
1. negotiation: both parties to the contract reach a settlement agreement through negotiation;
2. Mediation: the intervention of the third party urges the parties to understand each other and reach a settlement agreement, thus solving the dispute;
3. Arbitration: an arbitration clause concluded by both parties in the contract or an arbitration agreement voluntarily reached by a third party;
4. Litigation: Disputes between the parties shall be settled through litigation.
To sum up, the recharge service of the gym can be refunded, and the non-refund clause agreed between the gym and the consumer is invalid, so if the gym does not refund, you can defend your rights according to the above sharing.
