32. Liability of 180

We provide secure lockers for the storage of personal items within the 180 Health Club during your visit and all reasonable efforts are made to provide a secure environment for our members.

39. Delay

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later: If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the product or service requested, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
