The training or weight control center must provide you with a contract which details the conditions of your membership. By law, this is a "health studio contract". Make sure this contract reflects the promises you made to the merchant.

The contract must indicate:

  • the license number issued by the Consumer Protection Office;

  • the name and address of the merchant;

  • your name and address;

  • the place and date of the signing of the contract;

  • the date on which the services will begin to be offered;

  • the address to which the services will be offered;

  • the total amount you have to pay;

  • the statement explaining the terms of cancellation of the contract. This statement is presented in Article 47 of the Implementing Regulation of the Consumer Protection Act.
