3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The Physical Fitness Services Act is amended | ||||||
5 | by changing Section 6 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (815 ILCS 645/6) (from Ch. 29, par. 56) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 6. Contract requirements: cancellation and refund. | ||||||
8 | (a) Every contract for physical fitness services shall provide | ||||||
9 | that: (1) the contract may be cancelled by the customer within | ||||||
10 | 3 business days after the first business day after the | ||||||
11 | contract is signed by the customer, and that all monies paid | ||||||
12 | pursuant to said contract shall be refunded to the customer. | ||||||
13 | For the purposes of this Section, business day shall mean any | ||||||
14 | day on which the facility is open for business. A customer | ||||||
15 | purchasing a plan at a facility which has not yet opened for | ||||||
16 | business at the time the contract is signed, or who does not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | purchase a contract at an existing facility, shall have seven | ||||||
2 | calendar days in which to cancel the contract and receive a | ||||||
3 | full refund of all monies paid. The customer's rights to | ||||||
4 | cancel described herein are in addition to any other contract | ||||||
5 | rights or remedies provided by law; (2) in the event of the | ||||||
6 | relocation of a customer's residence to farther than 25 miles | ||||||
7 | from the center's facilities, and upon the failure of the | ||||||
8 | original center to designate a center, with comparable | ||||||
9 | facilities and services within 25 miles of the customer's new | ||||||
10 | residence, which agrees to accept the original center's | ||||||
11 | obligations under the contract, the customer may cancel the | ||||||
12 | contract and shall be liable for only that portion of the | ||||||
13 | charges allocable to the time before reasonable evidence of | ||||||
14 | such relocation is presented to the center, plus a reasonable | ||||||
15 | fee if so provided in the contract, but such fee shall not | ||||||
16 | exceed 10% of the unused balance, or $50, whichever is less; | ||||||
17 | and (3) if the customer, because of death or disability, is | ||||||
18 | unable to use or receive all services contracted for, the | ||||||
19 | customer, or his estate as the case may be, shall be liable for | ||||||
20 | only that portion of the charges allocable to the time prior to | ||||||
21 | death or the onset of disability. The center shall in such | ||||||
22 | event have the right to require and verify reasonable evidence | ||||||
23 | of such death or disability. | ||||||
24 | (b) Every contract for physical fitness services shall | ||||||
25 | provide that notice of cancellation pursuant to subsection (a) | ||||||
26 | of this Section shall be made in writing and delivered by |
