We encourage you to leave your valuables at home. When<br />
using a locker we recommend you use a lock to secure your<br />
items. The <strong>YMCA</strong> is not responsible for lost or stolen items.<br />
Any lost or stolen personal items should be reported<br />
immediately to the Member Service Center. Found items<br />
are held in our lost and found for 14 days.<br />
REFUNDS, CREDITS AND CANCELATIONS<br />
The <strong>YMCA</strong> reserves the right to cancel, combine or modify a<br />
program due to insufficient enrollment. If the <strong>YMCA</strong> cancels<br />
a program, every attempt will be made to place the enrollee<br />
in another section <strong>of</strong> the same level program. If the enrollee<br />
cannot be accommodated, the <strong>YMCA</strong> will issue a full refund.<br />
If a participant decides not to take a class, credit for that<br />
class must be requested prior to the first class <strong>of</strong> the session.<br />
After the session has started, credits will only be issued for<br />
extended illness/injury and with a doctor’s note. Credits will<br />
be prorated based upon attendance and all requests for credit<br />
are subject to a $20 processing fee. Credits are good for<br />
one year from issue date. Credit requests are available at the<br />
Member Service Center.<br />
CLASS MAKE-UPS<br />
Please attend your scheduled class, as make-up classes are<br />
not available for non-attendance. No credits or refunds will<br />
be given.<br />
AUTO PAY<br />
A 15-day written notice is required prior to your next<br />
scheduled draft date to stop auto pay. It is the member’s<br />
responsibility to check monthly bank/credit card statements<br />
to ensure the cancellation has taken effect. No refund will<br />
be given for an auto pay that occurs during the 30-day<br />
cancellation period. The <strong>YMCA</strong> will not take responsibility<br />
to cancel your auto pay. Accounts with non-sufficient<br />
funds (NSF) will be re-drafted the next auto pay date for the<br />
returned draft, the current draft, plus a $25 service fee. If the<br />
account drafted has NSF a second time, or has been closed,<br />
the <strong>YMCA</strong> has the right to suspend the membership until all<br />
fees have been reconciled.<br />
All membership rates are subject to change with 30 days<br />
written notice.<br />
NON-SUFFICIENT FUNDS<br />
Your personal check and ACH draft is welcome here at the<br />
<strong>YMCA</strong>. If your check or draft is returned NSF, it will be<br />
collected electronically and you will be charged a $25 NSF fee.<br />
If the account has NSF a second time, or has been closed, the<br />
<strong>YMCA</strong> has the right to suspend the membership until all fees<br />
have been reconciled.<br />

Members and guests are encouraged to take responsibility for their<br />
personal comfort and safety by asking any person whose behavior<br />
threatens their comfort to refrain from such behavior. Anyone who<br />
feels uncomfortable in confronting a person directly should report<br />
the behavior to a staff person on duty.<br />
In order to be able to carry out these policies, we ask that members<br />
and guests identify themselves to staff when asked.<br />
The <strong>YMCA</strong> will investigate all reported incidents. Suspension or<br />
termination <strong>of</strong> <strong>YMCA</strong> membership privileges may result from a<br />
determination by the <strong>YMCA</strong> if in its discretion a violation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>YMCA</strong> Member’s Code <strong>of</strong> Conduct has occurred.<br />
