Ridiculous, since I was only able to cancel via the internet after answering a few questions (previously the site did not 'accept' my cancellation). \nWell, I just did this but now I get a confirmation of my (online) cancellation dd end of July! In other words, as if the month's notice period is calculated from the start of my online cancellation!\n I received confirmation by email from the branch manager of that gym (a large, national chain by the way):\n - that I informed him at the end of April that I wanted to cancel my subscription immediately,\n - that he then said that I had to complete this via the internet (without specifying a deadline!).\n \nNow this gym took my current girlfriend in for a full year two years ago (when it was still just possible) while she knew she would be going abroad that year - she tried to negotiate to come to a mutually satisfactory amount but in the end she had to pay the entire year anyway - legally there is no way around it perhaps, but of course it doesn't feel right. That is why I really don't want them to have this last monthly payment of mine (+\/- 50 euros).\n\n Do I have a chance?\n Thank you in advance for your attention, time and effort!\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n It depends on what is stated in the gym's general terms and conditions.\n\n If there is a provision stating that the subscription must be terminated in writing or via the internet, the gym is right.\n\n If this provision is not included, then you have a problem with proof. It is your word against the gym's.\n\n I advise you to pay and let this matter rest.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55015157924189,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-25050-ik-heb-mijn-sportschoolabonnement-eind-april-2014-mondeling-opgezegd-aan-de-balie-conform-mijn-over","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
