Kato Fitness Service Policies
These policies apply to both in-person and online training services of Kato Fitness.
1. Cancellation of In-Person Services:

Cancellation Notification: Clients wishing to cancel their in-person services must notify Kato Fitness at least two weeks in advance. The notification must include the client's name, client number, the start date of the cancellation, and the reason for cancellation, if desired.
-
Refunds and Adjustments: If the cancellation notification is made within the two-week period, Kato Fitness will assess the possibility of adjustments to future payments or a seamless transition, subject to our discretion and applicable regulations.
-
Late Cancellation: If a client does not notify their cancellation at least two weeks in advance, Kato Fitness does not guarantee eligibility for adjustments to future payments or a seamless transition.

Cancellation Process: To cancel online training services, clients must notify Kato Fitness at least 30 days in advance. Considering that this membership is a monthly payment, the client must notify at the time of receiving their next charge for our monthly membership that this will be their last month using Kato Fitness services. Within this period, Kato Fitness will evaluate the possibility of adjustments to future payments or a seamless transition, subject to our discretion.
