  • At Football4U’s training location by completing the on-site registration form.
• If you enroll through the website, you have the right to cancel your membership within 14 days of the day of enrollment without stating cancellation related reasons. You can do this in the manner described in art. 10c. If the 14th day falls in the weekend, or on a publicly recognized holiday, the reflection period runs until the end of the first subsequent working day. If you decide to cancel your membership within the 14-day reflection period, and the membership has not been used during this period, this cancellation is free of charge. If the membership has been used during this period, Football4U may charge a pro rata fee for the membership (from the activation of the membership to the day of cancellation).

• At the time of membership registration and enrollment, you may enter into a membership for:
  • Flexible term with a payment every 4 weeks for membership;
  • 1 year fixed with an automatic renewal indefinitely with a payment every 4 weeks for the membership, or
  • 1 year fixed with an indefinite automatic renewal, paying the membership costs in one lump sum in advance.
• If you have chosen a change in your membership form, you have the right to cancel this change without giving reasons within 14 days from the date of the change, as described in article 2.b (reflection period). In this case, the change will be cancelled, and your original membership will be reinstated until the end of your original contract (and for any renewals thereof).

• If you choose a one-year contract with full prepayment, the first annual payment will be made at registration by an online payment and subsequent payments annually in advance via SEPA direct debit. If the contract has been renewed for an indefinite period, it can be terminated at any time with a notice period of 30 days and the surplus amount of the membership fee, insofar as applicable, shall be returned in the event that the contract is terminated.
• If you choose a contract with payment per 4 weeks, the first payment will be made at membership registration by an online payment and subsequent payments in advance per 4 weeks via SEPA direct debit. Our collection period is 4 weeks.
• If we are unable to collect your payment for whatever reason (e.g., reversal of the payment instruction, insufficient balance, etc.), we will send the direct debit collection request to your bank again. If you do not fulfil your payment obligations, your membership will be suspended until the payment obligations are satisfied in full.
• If you do not fulfil your payment obligations even after we have given you a notice of default, you will be in default. At that point we may charge collection costs and we may hand over the claim to third parties for collection. We will also have the right also terminate the contract with immediate effect. At that time, you will have to pay all membership fees that would have been due during the term of the contract plus any extrajudicial collection costs as charged.
• Once a year, on January 1, we may increase our fees with a reasonable and market conform price rate percentage. If we do make use of an increase in price for membership, it shall not give you the right to terminate the contract, unless the price rate percentage occurs within three months of the conclusion of the contract.

• We hope you will join us in good health. If for medical reasons you are permanently unable to use your membership, you can terminate it prematurely with a notice period of 30 days from the notification. You must then submit proof that you are no longer able to make use of your contract in view of your medical situation, for example through a doctor’s statement.
• It is not possible to suspend your membership for any reason.
