AUTHORIZATION TO THE YMCA

I have given my authority to the named bank / credit card company to honor preauthorized EFT/charge drawn by the YMCA on my account for the membership payments as indicated above. It is understood that the YMCA's transmission of a preauthorized draft to the bank as payment becomes due shall constitute valid notice of such payment due on the above named activity. When the bank honors the draft by charging my account, such draft shall constitute my receipt for the payment. Should any preauthorized draft not be honored by said bank when received by them, then it is understood that an additional service fee of $25.00 will be applied to my account. Monthly Memberships are a continuous membership plan. I understand that the membership will remain in effect until I initiate its termination by giving the YMCA a written notice 30 days prior to my next scheduled monthly withdrawal date. Failure to give 30 day written termination notice will result in that month's fees being non-refundable.

Member's Ongoing Right to Cancellation: After the first thirty days of membership, you may cancel the remainder of your membership at any time by giving the YMCA written notice thirty (30) days in advance of your next scheduled day of monthly EFT/Charge.

WAIVER

The YMCA of Centre County does not grant insurance or carry medical insurance for participants; therefore, all participants in our programs are at their own risk. The YMCA attempts to conduct all programs in the safest possible manner, however, accidents sometimes do occur. We urge all participants to investigate their own medical insurance to assure that they have adequate coverage.

MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT

  • Suspension or termination of YMCA membership privileges may result from a determination by the CEO if in his/her discretion a violation of the YMCA Member’s Code of Conduct has occurred.

  • Membership cards remain the property of the YMCA and must be surrendered upon demand of the YMCA.

  • All fees paid for membership including Joining Fees are non-refundable.

  • The YMCA also has my permission to photograph or tape myself, spouse and child(ren) while participating in YMCA activities.

  • If my membership dues are paid monthly through Credit Card Draft or Electric Funds Transfer: I understand this is a continuous membership plan. I understand that the membership will remain in effect until I initiate its termination by giving the YMCA written notice thirty (30) days in advance of my next scheduled day of monthly withdrawal. Failure to do so will result in that month's fee being non-refundable.

  • The YMCA Board of Directors may, at their discretion, adjust the monthly rate applicable to my category of membership at any time. I understand that I will receive at least thirty (30) days notice prior to any such change.

  • Should any draft not be honored by my bank for any reason, I realize that those funds plus a service charge of $25.00 will be applied to my membership account and that facility usage will be suspended until dues are paid. The YMCA service charge is in addition to any service fee my bank may charge. I understand it is my responsibility to notify the YMCA of any change in address, bank account information (if utilizing bank draft for payment of dues) or credit card information / expiration date (if utilizing credit card for payment of dues).

  • I understand that after two unpaid drafts, the YMCA will immediately terminate my membership until I have brought all payments up to date.

MEMBER CODE OF CONDUCT

The YMCA is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all members and guests. To promote safety and comfort for all, all individuals are asked to act appropriately at all times when in our facility or participating in our programs. We expect persons using the YMCA to act maturely, to behave responsibly, and to respect the rights and dignity of others. Our Member’s Code of Conduct outlines prohibited behavior, but the actions listed below are not an all-inclusive list of behaviors considered inappropriate in our facilities or programs:

  • Using or possessing alcohol or illegal chemicals on YMCA property

Members and guests are encouraged to take responsibility for their personal comfort and safety by asking any person whose behavior threatens their comfort to refrain from such behavior. Anyone who feels uncomfortable in confronting a person directly should report the behavior to a staff member on duty. YMCA staff members are eager to be of assistance. Members and guests should not hesitate to notify a staff member if assistance is needed. In order to be able to carry out these policies, we ask that members and guests identify themselves to staff when asked.

I acknowledge the waiver and membership agreement set forth above and being in sympathy with the Mission Statement of the YMCA of Centre County, hereby apply for membership.
