COVID-19
Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19 The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, national, federal, state, and local governments and national, federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.

I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my attendance at the Club or participation in Club programming (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Club, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Club, its employees, agents, and representatives or sponsors, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any Club program.

8. MEMBERSHIP TYPES
Midnight Runners offers two Membership packages: - Quarterly Memberships - Annual Memberships For these package types, payment is collected on the 1st day of the membership period. These Memberships each have a minimum contract term, and Membership continues to roll on a quarterly or annual basis after the minimum term has expired. See Point 6, below, on how to cancel a Membership. • "Quarterly / by Season Paid in Full" – minimum term of three full calendar months. • "Annual Paid in Full" – minimum term of 12 full calendar months. Midnight Runners reserves the right to introduce, withdraw and vary categories of Membership.
9. CANCELLING YOUR MEMBERSHIP
Members on a Quarterly Membership contract may cancel their Membership after or with effect from the end of the minimum term, by giving one full calendar month's advance written notice, effective from the 1st of the following month. This should be done by email to info@midnightrunners.co. Where the payment method is Direct Debit, the Member must advise their bank to cancel the Direct Debit instruction after the final payment has been made. Midnight Runners is not obliged to refund any fees where the Member has not cancelled the instruction and cannot provide proof of a valid cancellation request. All fees must be paid to date at the time of cancellation. No refunds are applicable for any portion of fees paid upfront, excluding in the following circumstances: redundancy, permanent illness and permanent injury preventing club usage Valid documentation will be requested as proof in such circumstances. Any Member with three or more months remaining of the minimum term may terminate their Membership at the end of the then current month by paying in full 50% of the total future fees due until the end of the minimum term.

All members should use suitable measures to maintain basic standards of hygiene, such as using deodorant, showering if needed, and wearing clean fitness attire whilst training.

Crew Captains are independent professionals, and not employees or agents of Midnight Runners.
4. CLASSES
Midnight Runners timetables, crew captains and classes are subject to change at any time. Midnight Runners will endeavour to provide notice when a class is unable to take place for any reason. Members must book in advance to ensure that a boot camp or class has space for them.
5. BAG DROP AND LOST PROPERTY
