Membership Terms & Conditions

Football For Fat Loss ("we", "us") is run by Football for Fat Loss Ltd, a company registered in England [company number to be added], registered office 23 Horsebridge Road, Havant, PO9 2LH. For anything about these terms or your membership, email info@footballforfatloss.com. These terms, together with the club rules and privacy notice, are the agreement between you and us when you become a member.

• You must be 18 or over to join.
• New players join with a BMI of 27.5 or above (see the club rules) — this is a weight-loss league and the entry gate keeps it fair.
• You apply through our website. Your membership — and this agreement — starts when we confirm your place and activate your account, not when you submit the form. Capacity is limited, so you may be offered a waiting-list place instead.
• We may decline or delay an application where we reasonably believe taking part wouldn't be appropriate — for example on capacity, eligibility or safety grounds. If we decline you, anything you've paid is refunded.

• We are a football club, not a medical organisation. Nothing we provide — including weigh-in data, BMI figures and progress charts — is medical advice.
• Speak to your GP before starting any weight-loss or exercise programme if you have any doubt about your health, and tell the coach about any injury or condition that could affect you playing.
• By joining you confirm the information you give us is accurate, that you'll keep it up to date, and that you consider yourself able to take part in the sessions. All sport carries a risk of injury; you take part voluntarily.

• Membership is a monthly fee, collected by Direct Debit through GoCardless. The current fee — and any one-off joining fee — is shown before you sign up. You're protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee, and we never see or store your bank details.
• Your first collection is taken when your membership starts, then monthly.
• If we change the fee we'll tell you by email at least one month in advance — the new amount only ever applies from a future billing date, and you can cancel before it takes effect.
• Sessions are a group activity: if you can't make a week, we can't rearrange or refund it.

• You can cancel within 14 days of us confirming your membership, without giving a reason, by emailing info@footballforfatloss.com. We'll refund what you've paid within 14 days of you telling us.
• If you ask to start playing during those 14 days, we'll deduct a fair amount for the sessions already available to you before your cancellation.

• Membership runs month to month with no minimum term. Cancel any time by emailing info@footballforfatloss.com — your membership ends at the end of the period you've paid for, and no further collections are taken.
• Cancelling your Direct Debit at your bank also stops your membership, but an email helps us free your place for the waiting list promptly.

Follow the club rules and any safety instructions given at sessions. The rules' discipline section applies on the night; behaviour that puts others at risk — violence, discrimination, repeated serious breaches — can lead to us ending your membership under section 8.

• We can end your membership with written notice if you seriously or repeatedly breach these terms or the club rules, or if a payment fails and isn't put right within 14 days of us letting you know.
• Ending your membership doesn't wipe out amounts you already owe, and paid-for sessions before that date aren't refunded unless the law says otherwise.

• Nothing in these terms excludes liability we can't exclude by law — including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.
• Beyond that, we're not liable for losses that weren't foreseeable when you joined, losses not caused by us breaking this agreement, business losses, or loss or damage to personal belongings at the venue.
• If something outside our reasonable control (venue closure, weather, and the like) stops a session or affects the service, we'll work around it where we can but aren't liable for it.

How we collect and use your personal data — including your weigh-in and health data — is set out in our privacy notice.

• If you're unhappy with anything, talk to us first at info@footballforfatloss.com — most things sort themselves out with a conversation.
• These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
• Only you and we can enforce these terms — no one else has rights under them.
• If we make a material change to these terms we'll tell you by email before it takes effect.
