hi.. i want to check about cooling off period for gym memberships... is it applicable in Malaysia?

a friend signed up for Myoga Mid Valley on 29th April... then on 30th April her office advised that they have corporate rates at California Fitness at only RM90. Since Myoga & California Fitness both belongs to same management, she has requested to change to CF instead. Unfortunately, the gym not only says that they will not refund her deposit of RM300 paid but will also take legal actions against her since she signed the membership agreement.... she's very upset now that the gym has actually threatened that as a step to make her stay with them... it's a full year membership that she signed up for...

your view on this??

erm.. what is a ghetto gym?? where can i find them in cheras/ampang/mid valley area??

yeah... she's upset not cause of the RM300 but because they force her to join the gym for the full out period of 12 months!! furthermore they are not threatening her

any idea where i can confirm this cooling off period issue? want to gather my facts before go and talk to them...

my boss so the busy today.. dun dare to ask him lar.. and the stupid gym now already calling jwn non stop to ask her go and pay pay pay, that's all they care about

called dkr already... she say she busy furthermore, her contacts is at CF one, not myoga... no jurisdiction konon-nyer

sigh... i had told her don't be rushed into things like this.. it's a long term commitment especially when they say until like that... i wonder.. if all is not possible... transfer memberships leh?

hate them hate them hate them

just got to know.... my boss was the one who drafted it for them

but countries like the US have got cooling off period... and consumer protection is strong...
