These general terms and conditions concern the services provided by Brach \u2013 Le Club de Sport (hereinafter the \u201cClub\u201d). In addition to the terms of their membership contract, each Club member undertakes to comply with these general terms and conditions (hereinafter the \u201cT&Cs\u201d) and the R\u00e8glement Int\u00e9rieur<\/em> [internal regulations] appended hereto.\u00a0 Certain provisions of the T&Cs, indicated with the letter (C),<\/em><\/strong> may only concern clients acting as consumers within the meaning of the French consumer code, i.e., only natural persons acting for purposes that do not fall within their trade, industrial, craft, independent or agricultural business activity. When the law requires that these provisions extend to non-professionals within the meaning of the French consumer code, i.e., legal entities not acting for professional purposes, this is specified.<\/p>\n

People who are not members but benefit from an invitation or trial session or are expressly authorised by the Company to attend the Club pursuant to specific agreements are subject to the same obligations as members.<\/p>\n

Hereinafter, \u201cclient\u201d means a member or non-member.<\/p>\n

Members are given a detailed list of the sports activities that can be practised and their rates when they join the Club. They are, furthermore, available at the Club reception and on the website www.brachparis.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Section 1 \u2013 Joining the Club \u2013 Membership<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Article 1 \u2013 Admission<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Club is a private club which places limits on the number of members to maintain a high-quality service. It is expressly agreed that the Company remains entirely free to set the maximum number of members. A waiting list will be created once the maximum number has been reached.<\/p>\n

Any membership application is subject to prior approval of the Company. The Company pays close attention to each application submitted. The joining process will take a minimum of 48\u00a0hours once the completed application has been received, and may be preceded by an interview.<\/p>\n

Article 2 \u2013 Membership card<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Each member receives their personal membership card upon payment of the fees and dues required under the contract. The card grants access to the facilities (fitness room, swimming pool, hot water bath, steam room, sauna and salt cave) as well as the water-based and fitness activities set out in the card\u2019s sales documentation. The membership card must be shown at reception and can be requested at any time. The card is personal and cannot be transferred, except as stated in article 7. Loan of the card constitutes a violation of these T&Cs and could entail application of the termination clause.<\/p>\n

The member is invited to provide their bank card details to the reception staff in order to make purchases at the Club. The amount of any purchase made thereafter will be automatically debited from the card. To validate the transaction, the client is invited to present their membership card and sign the corresponding receipt, an electronic version of which will be systematically archived.<\/p>\n

Article 3 \u2013 Membership fee<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The membership fee, regardless of the payment method, is contractually payable in full in one single transaction upon signing up for the duration of the membership, and upon each renewal. The price of the membership is that in force on the day the member signs up or on the membership renewal dates. It is expressly agreed that the Club reserves the right to reflect any change to the VAT rate applicable to Club services in the price of the membership. In the event of a payment incident, the member is invited to promptly rectify the situation so they can access the facilities and avoid implementation of article 7.<\/p>\n

Each membership contract between the Club and one of its members is entered into on an intuitu personae basis.<\/p>\n

Article 4 \u2013 Lost or stolen card<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

As soon as the member becomes aware of the theft or loss of the card, and except in the case of force majeure, they undertake to inform the Club\u2019s staff in writing or at reception as soon as possible to prevent the card’s fraudulent use by a third party. Creation of a duplicate card may be invoiced at the current rate displayed in the Club during the event (administrative fees).<\/p>\n

Article 5 \u2013 Changes during the membership<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The member undertakes to inform the Club of any changes that take place over the course of the membership (name, address, bank details, etc.).<\/p>\n

Article 6 \u2013 Membership \/ Renewal<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Club will inform the member in writing (by email or text message), at least one month before the expiry of their contract, of its date of expiry and the option of renewing their membership. Regardless of the payment terms in force, the contract can only be terminated subsequent to the contractual expiry of the membership, subject to application of the cases described in article 7.<\/p>\n

Article 7 \u2013 Suspension \/ Termination \/ Freeze or cancellation of the membership<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

If applicable, any remaining amounts due until expiry of the contractual commitment period will remain payable. The member may benefit from the Club services again once the cause of the suspension has been remedied, and their personal membership card will, in this case, be automatically reactivated.<\/p>\n

7.2 Termination \/ Freeze or cancellation of the membership<\/p>\n
