Chinanews client, May 28 (Reporter Xing Rui) It has been nearly two months since Beijing introduced the "7-day cooling-off period for fitness cards".
The reporter learned through interviews that as a clause in the model text of the "Beijing Sports Fitness Industry Prepaid Service Contract", the implementation of the 7-day cooling-off period is not mandatory, and some gyms have not been introduced in their operations.
The introduction of the contract model text is to reduce consumption disputes between customers and the gym due to refunds.
Although the model text is only a guiding document, when consumers sign a fitness contract with a merchant, they can negotiate the terms of the contract or require the merchant to set a "7-day cooling-off period."
