General
SiO Athletica is a part of Studentsamskipnaden SiO. The membership terms are a part of the membership agreement between the member stated in this contract and SiO Athletica. As a member of SiO Athletica you agree to comply with current rules and regulations always stated under «Sports» at sio.no. SiO Athletica may with immediate effect cancel the membership of any member who does not comply with the membership terms and/or gym rules and regulations, or if the member does not adhere to warning(s) issued by SiO Athletica. SiO Athletica is not responsible for reduction in services when the cause of the reduction lies beyond SiO Athletica´s control (Force majeure).

Membership
SiO Athletica’s memberships and prices are at any time stated on sio.no, where additional information about our products, services and prices can be found. A membership is effective from enrolment date until termination/cancellation of the membership. Cancellation of the membership is subject to current cancellation terms. Types of memberships where you sign up for a preset period, will after the expiration of the subscription continue until cancelled. When enrolling on a membership with a commitment period, the commitment period will be a minimum of 12 full calendar months. SiO Athletica can make changes to their gyms, equipment, or other offers without any implications to the membership. Membership at SiO Athletica is available for individuals over the age of 18.

Access
Members of SiO Athletica must have an active membership to access the training facilities. A valid admission certificate must be presented at each visit. The membership is personal and cannot be used by anyone else but yourself.

Personal details
It is the responsibility of the member to ensure that member information on "my page" at sio.no is always up to date. This includes information such as correct address, e-mail address, phone number and other personal details. Information about how your personal data is managed relating to your membership can be found by reading the SiO privacy policy here: https://www.sio.no/en/about-sio/privacy-policy-and-cookies.

Consent
At the time of enrollment, the member consents to SiO Athletica being able to send information to the member through SMS, e-mail, and other means of communication. This is to be able to inform and market Athletica's products and/or offers and is in accordance with § 15 of the Norwegian Marketing Act. The member has the right, at any time, to revoke one's consent to receiving information regarding marketing of Athletica’s offers, by contacting SiO Athletica about this matter.

Prices
Prices are set according to the price guidelines available at sio.no. To acquire and maintain your student price for your membership, proof of valid student identification and a paid semester fee to your institution is required. It is your duty to inform SiO Athletica about all changes with regards to circumstances that might affect the price of your membership or other services that SiO Athletica offer. Should the price of your membership change due to lack of valid documentation proving your right to a discounted membership, your membership will continue without a discount for the remaining period, according to your membership agreement. If valid proof of right to discounted prices is not presented, you will be charged for any price difference that has not been paid. SiO Athletica reserves the right to adjust membership prices. Should price alterations occur, changes will be stated at sio.no and members will be notified through current means of communication.

Payment
Primary means of payment is by direct debit (Avtalegiro) with your Norwegian bank account. Due date for your membership fee is the first (1) of each month. You are responsible for ensuring that your membership fee is paid and for the setup of direct debit with your bank. Late membership fee payments may result in SiO Athletica claiming payment for any surcharges and interest, all in accordance with the Norwegian law regarding late payments (“Lov om renter ved forsinket betaling m.m”).

Termination of membership
There is a one (1) months’ notice for termination of the membership, effective from the first (1) of the month after we receive notification. At termination, your membership will continue at a minimum the amount of time obliged to by initial agreement. Termination of membership can be done at My Page or in person at any SiO Athletica facility.

Membership put on hold («freeze»)
To put your membership on hold is a temporary pause in your membership. You cannot use your membership and will not be receiving any invoice(s) for membership fees during this period. A membership freeze period can start the day after you have given notice. A membership can be frozen for a period of one or two whole months, with regards to the member being in or without a commitment period, within the calendar year. If you have signed up for a membership where you are committed for a certain amount of time, a hold will result in your commitment to us being extended for the corresponding amount of time you have put on hold. To put your membership on hold you are required to do so at MyPage or in person at any of the SiO Athletica facilities. It is not possible to freeze your membership once you have given your final notice.

Right of withdrawal
If the membership is entered outside one of our SiO Athletica training facilities, the member has the right to terminate the membership agreement (right of withdrawal) by giving written notice to SiO Athletica within 14 days after the initial agreement, cf. § 11 of the Norwegian law of right of withdrawal (“Angrerettloven”). When using the right of withdrawal, SiO Athletica can demand payment for the membership from the day the membership is entered, until the day the member invokes the right of withdrawal.

Safety
The member is responsible for being in a state of mental and physical condition which allows safe use of the training facilities. All exercise at SiO Athletica is at your own risk. It is the individual member's responsibility to take out individual insurance if the member finds this necessary in relation to the activity carried out at SiO Athletica. Only Athletica employees are allowed train and instruct other members. SiO Athletica is not responsible for any loss or damage to personal items, because of break-in or other reasons. SiO Athletica has no tolerance for threatening and aggressive behaviour, violence, harassment, or unwanted sexual advances.

Anti-doping
SiO Athletica has an agreement with Anti-doping Norway to keep our gyms free of doping. As a member of SiO Athletica you agree to not use any form of prohibited stimulants or doping substances which are listed on Anti-doping Norway's list of prohibited substances. The list can be found on www.antidoping.no. SiO Athletica can, in collaboration with Antidoping Norway, carry out doping controls at the gyms. As a member of SiO Athletica, you will have to voluntarily sign a doping control declaration form where you accept to provide a doping sample. A positive doping sample, omission to sign the doping control declaration form, or failure to attend a doping test, is considered a material breach of the membership agreement and can result in termination of the agreement with immediate effect. With effect from July 1st 2013, all use of doping agents is criminalized according to the Act on Medicinal Products §24 a. Clearly effected, or suspicion of drug abuse on SiO Athletica may be reported to the police.
