Terms and Conditions

Membership Draft: This membership drafts monthly. By signing and initialing this contract:

I hereby authorize Inner Peaks, Inc. hereafter referred to as ‘IP’, to effect payment for the draft of monthly dues, including but not limited to fees and authorized special charges by drafting my debit/credit card.

I understand the initial terms of this contract include applicable join fees and prorated and/or monthly dues for an Individual (IND), Household Primary (HHP), and/or Household Additional (HHA).

I understand that monthly dues will automatically renew on a month to month basis as a continuous contract until such time as a Termination Request is received by completion of the Termination Request Form found on the IP website.

I understand that in the case of Household Memberships, the IND/HHP member is financially responsible for all members listed on the contract and any that are added after the contract has been enacted.

Membership Freeze/Termination Policy: I understand that I may Freeze or Terminate my membership under the following conditions:

I understand that to FREEZE or TERMINATE the membership, I must submit a Membership Change Form (found under the ‘Membership’ tab on the website) by the 25th of the month prior in order for my selected date(s) to be honored by the 1st of the month billing.

I understand that in freezing, I will not be billed membership dues for the month(s) nor will I have to pay a join fee to thaw my membership.

I understand that each membership unit (IND, HHP, HHA, HHY) that freezes will be charged a Freeze Fee of $10/membership unit per month and collected in lieu of monthly dues.

I understand that when submitting a Membership Change Form for a membership Freeze I am required to select a Freeze START date and a Freeze End date.

I understand that members may request Freezes for only full calendar months with a maximum of six (6) consecutive calendar months per submission.

I understand that the monthly draft will automatically resume on the 1st of the month following the Freeze END date indicated on the submitted Freeze form.

I understand that any membership may be THAWED/UNFROZEN at any time before the original Freeze End Date by submitting a Membership Change Form and selecting the ‘Unfreeze’ box. This action results in billing the card on file the prorated dues of that month.

I understand that I may Freeze all or part of my membership; if the IND/HHP is frozen, the next active member will be charged the IND/HHP rate and additional members will be charged the respective HHA rate.

I understand that any member may climb when a Membership is Frozen by paying regular day pass & rental fees.

I understand that Membership Freeze(s)/TERMINATION(S) are not effective until a MEMBERSHIP CHANGE FORM has been submitted, received and processed. The deadline for this action is the 25th of each month.
