This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements between the parties, whether written or oral.

Failure to comply with these rules and regulations, including but not limited to non-payment of scheduled dues, is grounds for immediate suspension or termination of services to the Participant. Suspension or termination shall not entitle the Participant to a refund or credits for any accounts already paid or cancel any unpaid balance due. The failure or inability of Participant to use the facilities, classes or services of the Business for any reason, except as otherwise provided herein, does not relieve or suspend the Participant’s obligation to make all payments required under this Agreement on a timely basis, nor entitle the Participant to a refund or credit. If this Agreement is in default, the entire amount owed hereunder shall become immediately due and payable. Litigation may be initiated to collect all amounts due or the account referred to collection. Business shall be entitled to recover their reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, and interest on any past due amount at the rate of 1.5% per month and a collection fee equal to 20% as a collection fee and not a penalty, to collect any past due amounts of cure any breach.
