In the event of any dispute as to the meaning of the terms outlined above the Director of Sport or their nominated deputy’s reasonable interpretation of the terms is final.
Non-compliance with these Terms and Conditions may result in membership being withdrawn or cancelled. Exceptions to these Terms and Conditions will be at the discretion of 色狗导航 Sport Management.
Misuse Fines
1. Any individual found attempting to enter a facility using another member's card or phone will incur a £50 surcharge. If the individual is not a member, the charge will be added to their account, and access to sporting facilities will be denied until the surcharge is paid. Additionally, a £50 surcharge will be imposed on the account holder whose card or phone was used. Their access will be suspended until the surcharge is paid or proof is provided that the membership card or phone was reported lost or stolen to University Security.
Late cancellation fines
1. The late cancellation period for swimming sessions, studio classes, gym floor classes, and recreational sport sessions is 1 hour. Bookings must be cancelled at least 1 hour before the scheduled start time to avoid a late cancellation fee or loss of payment.

4. These fees apply only to members who receive the above activities as part of their membership. Individuals using a free pay-as-you-go account will not incur an additional late cancellation fee.
