ACCESS

  1. You should have your personal access chip with you at all times while training. This is what allows you to enter and exit the training center. You may pick up your access wristband/chip at one of our introductory hours. Remember to do this before your temporary access code expires (read more about “retrieving access chip” on MyEVO).
  2. As a member at EVO, you may train at your primary center and all our centers in Switzerland that have not exceeded the maximum capacity of memberships. You can find an overview of which centers you have access to on MyEVO under “Primary Club”.
  3. Each EVO membership is tied to one single person. Therefore your access wristband/chip may not be loaned/transferred to others. If two people go through the entrance consecutively with the same access chip, the surveillance camera by the entrance will be activated and the security company alerted. The membership can, in such an event, be terminated without further warning, and registration and membership fees will not be refunded.

 

ADMINISTRATION OF MEMBERSHIP

  1. As a member at EVO, you administer your own membership via MyEVO. This means that if you wish to change personal information, primary center or bank card, set up a freeze period, terminate membership, etc. you must log in to MyEVO. Termination via e-mail or a handwritten letter is not valid. Upon terminating your membership, you will receive an email confirmation.
  2. You can freeze your membership for up to three months per calendar year. Freezing a membership costs 20,-CHF per month and must be performed in the month prior to the beginning of the desired freezing period. Be aware that a membership cannot be terminated while in a freeze period. If you freeze a 12-Month Commitment Membership, the membership commitment length will be extended by the number of frozen months.
  3. You are responsible for keeping your personal information up to date at all times. You can edit this yourself on MyEVO. EVO waives responsibility for any errors in your information that you may have registered.
  4. All inquiries regarding your membership should be directed to ‘Contact us’ on MyEVO. You have access to this as a member.

 

PAYMENT

  1.  As a member at EVO, you accept that your bank card will be charged the agreed-upon membership fee on the first day of each month. You are responsible for having updated payment information at all times, such as making sure that your bank card is valid. You can change the payment information on MyEVO.
  2. Receipts for paid membership fees are available as .pdf files on MyEVO under “Payment”.
  3. EVO sends reminders via e-mail and text message for unpaid membership fees, as well as warnings of automatic termination of membership if fees remain unpaid.
  4. If you have 2 months of unpaid membership fees, EVO will deactivate your access to our EVO clubs from the beginning of the second month of being debtor. The access will be reactivated within 2 business days upon receiving from you a proof of payment by e-mail to [email protected].
  5. After 2 months of unpaid membership fees, the outstanding amount is sent to a debt collection agency.
  6. If your EVO membership is cancelled due to outstanding debt, and you want to avoid having the debt sent to a collection agency, you can pay the outstanding amount via bank transfer. For this EVO charges a processing fee of 40,-CHF. To arrange this, you must contact EVO by email at [email protected] latest by the 5th day of the month following the cancellation of your membership. EVO will then send you an invoice for the outstanding debt and the processing fee. You must pay the invoice and send proof of payment to [email protected] by the 8th day of that month. Later payments will not be accepted.
