Legislation introduced to protect members New legislation limiting the terms and length of prepaid fitness, dance, and health club contracts Will provide increased pro- tection for Ontario consumers, said ('on - sumer and Commercial Relations' :Minister Monte Kwinter. The Prepaid Services Act, introduced in the legislature recently, will provide in- creased protection for consumers entering into prepaid service contracts with clubs associated with health, fitness, modelling, diet, talent, martial arts, sports, and dance activities. The proposed legislation is expected to reduce the size of possible financial loss for consumers by requiring the following restrictions on prepaid contracts: A five day cooling -off period during which time all membership fees trust remain in a trust account: the length of all contracts must he Iltnit(d t4 pga4,: ear. instalment plans be trade available for i)ayn)ent of all money collected and a month h) month payment option must be offered with the difference In cost Of each plan indicated. Sesquenhal or concurrent contracts for the same or similar activity are prohibited. Automatic• renewals are permitted only with the prior notification of members, reminding there of their right to refuse to renew. Pre -selling memberships is permitted but all consumer money received roust be plac- ed in a trust fund until five days after the club opens for active membership if the facilities do not open as scheduled, the con- sumer's consent would be required to retain any portion of 'the trust money beyond the promised date. Initiation fees cannot be greater than twice the annual membership fee. (Tubs should continue to honor their ex- isting multi-year and lifetime contracts. In many instances, high pressure sales tactics have contributed to the purchase of long term, expensive contracts that members may never use and are unable to cancel. The hill reduces to one year the maximum length of membership contracts. It also allows the member to pay month to month and thus avoid large advance payments. "The large number of failures of such clubs and their current practice of deman- ding full, up -front payment of membership and initiation fees, has meant considerable financial loss to many consumers." said Mr. Kwinter. By imposing restrictions on the terms and length of membership contracts, the risk of serious financial loss to the consumer will be reduced. Other important features of the proposed legislation include a requirement for op- tional instalment plans for paying both membership and initiation fees, plus a clear indication of the types of plans available and their individual costs. The risk to consumers will be further reduced with the requirement that all money collected from potential members be placed in a trust fund until five days after the club opens for active membership. The provision will ensure the individual's 'investment' is fully protected even if the club fails to open. Mr. Kwinter said the health and fitness in- dustry was instrumental in the development of the Prepaid Services Act and was com- mitted to providing the best and most reliable service possible to clients. Legislation can't stop the financial col- lapse of clubs, nor can it totally protect con- sumers from losing their membership and initiation fees when it happens, but the Prepaid Services Act will substantially limit how much they will lose by restricting the length of the contract and ensuring reasonable payment options are available. Be safety • conscious Animal -related injuries occur frequently on Ontario farms. Many such mishaps can be avoided by respecting the size and speed of livestock. Never take anything for granted when working around farm animals. Young or old, large or small, all animals are unpredictable. When working with livestock, respect your animals for safety's sake. "DO IT OUR WAY - IT WON'T HURT" This has been a message from the Farm Safety Association.
