LOST OR STOLEN ITEMS<br />

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 />
