For legislation relative to the cancellation of gym memberships. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 93 of the Massachusetts General Laws by requiring health club sellers to provide an online method for customers to cancel their membership contracts through the same website where they originally purchased or modified their services. Specifically, the bill mandates that if a health club's website allows customers to buy a contract or make changes to their existing contract (such as adding or removing services or benefits), the website must also offer a straightforward online cancellation option. This provision aims to improve consumer convenience and protect consumers' rights by ensuring they can easily terminate their gym membership through the same digital platform they used to initially sign up or manage their contract.
