  2. Should a public health order be made by the New Zealand government both parties agree that they will do everything possible to comply with that order in relation to these Terms and Conditions and the use of the Facilities.

  4. If you are a Massey student then in addition to these Terms and Conditions you are subject to the Massey student contract and the rules and regulations of the University while you are at the Facilities.

7. Transfer

  1. Your membership is personal to you and it is not transferable on an ad-hoc basis. However, Massey will consider requests to transfer membership where the member seeking to transfer has an eligible person willing to take over the remainder of the membership term. You agree that allowing another person to use your membership prior to being officially transferred, is a breach of these Terms and Conditions.

8. Payment of membership fees

  1. If you have chosen to pay the membership fees by lump sum, you agree to pay the membership fee for the full term of your membership immediately.
  2. If you have chosen to pay by instalment arrangements (whether using the services of a direct debit provider or by any other arrangement with Massey), then you will ensure that the fees under these Terms and Conditions are paid in accordance with the instalment arrangements. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to keep your account in funds and to pay all your own bank fees, including any fees which your bank charges if your account is overdrawn because of the deduction or payment of any instalment. If you fail to pay any instalments for any reason (including the failure of any direct debit deductions or credit card payments), in addition to any rights under any applicable direct debit contract, Massey (and/or the direct debit provider as applicable) may either add the outstanding sum to the next instalment or make additional direct debits or take additional credit card payments to recover the overdue amount, and may also charge their reasonable administration and collection costs. For the purposes of clarity, administration costs include, but are not limited to, any bank charges Massey and/or Massey's "Payment Services Provider" may incur due to a payment instruction being dishonoured. A default fee of $14.95 will be charged for each dishonoured payment.
  3. At any time when your membership fee has not been paid up to date, Massey may in its discretion, refuse you entry to the Facilities or require you to pay casual fees over and above your membership fees for your use.
  4. Your membership is for the term as stated on your membership. If you have contracted with a direct debit provider the term may be extended or automatically renewed in accordance with the new terms agreed. If automatically renewed, the membership fees for any future terms will be at the rates then charged by the Facilities.
  5. Massey reserves the right to change the fees charged to members for use of the Facilities. Massey agrees to use reasonable endeavours to provide you with written notice of the changes at the most current email address you have supplied. The changes will take effect no less than 30 days after the notice has been received by you. We deem the receipt to have occurred 5 business days after the notice was posted. If you are not agreeable to the fee increase, you have 5 business from the date you received the notice to communicate this with your Facility where normal cancellation terms will apply in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

9. Complete and accurate disclosure

  1. You agree that all information given by you to Massey is truthful, complete and accurate.

10. Force majeure

  1. Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms and Conditions by reason of strike, lockouts, industrial action, fire, storm, government direction, or other cause beyond its control, provided that this does not include a lack of funds for any reason.
  2. Massey may be prevented from meeting its obligations under these Terms and Conditions as a consequence of a cause beyond the reasonable control of Massey. These causes include those identified in clause 10.1. In these circumstances, Massey may need to suspend your access to the Facilities or your membership generally and your membership fees may be suspended until your membership is restored.

11. Change in Terms and Conditions

  1. Massey reserves the right to update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. Massey agrees to use reasonable endeavours to provide you with written notice of the changes at the most current email address you have supplied. The changes will take effect no less than 30 days after the notice has been received by you. We deem the receipt to have occurred 5 business days after the notice was posted. If you are not agreeable to the new Terms and Conditions, you may terminate your membership by providing 10 days' written notice using the contact details above, in which case clause 5.4 will apply.

12. Entire agreement

  1. You agree that these Terms and Conditions (together with any applicable terms contained in any agreement you enter into with the direct debit provider in relation to payments under these Terms and Conditions, the rules of the Facilities and Massey University Code of Conduct) are the entire agreement between me and Massey and supersedes and cancels all previous agreements, understandings and arrangements (whether implied or made expressly).

13. Invalid clauses

  1. If any part of these Terms and Conditions is held to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal for any reason, these Terms and Conditions will be deemed to be amended by the addition or deletion of wording necessary to remove the invalid, unenforceable or illegal part, but otherwise to retain the provisions of these Terms and Conditions to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law.

14. Members under 18

lf you are under 18 years of age you may be asked for your parent or legal guardian sign the below consent and indemnity before your membership will be accepted.

Parent/Legal Guardian consent and indemnity:

I am the parent/legal guardian of the member. I have read these Terms and Conditions and consent to the member entering into this agreement. In consideration of the Facilities accepting the member as a member, I accept responsibility for the obligations of the member under this agreement (including payment of any fees payable) if these are not enforceable against the member because of his or her age or lack of capacity, or if the member does not have sufficient financial resources to cover his or her obligations under these Terms and Conditions.
