Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21a-217: (Formerly Sec. 19-341b). Contracts for health club services. Right of cancellation and other relief.

(a) Each contract for health club services shall provide that such contract may be cancelled not later than three business days after the date on which the buyer under such contract receives a copy of such contract, by written cancellation notice delivered, with delivery tracking, to the health club or the health club's agent at an address that shall be specified in such contract. Not later than ten business days after the health club or the health club's agent receives such written cancellation notice, the health club shall provide to the buyer a written statement confirming that such contract has been cancelled and disclosing the effective date of such cancellation. After receipt of such written cancellation notice, the health club may request the return of any cards or equipment that were delivered to the buyer as part of the membership. Cancellation shall be without liability on the part of the buyer, except for the fair market value of services actually received and the buyer shall be entitled to a refund of the entire consideration paid for the health club contract, if any, less the fair market value of the services or use of facilities already actually received. Such right of cancellation shall not be affected by the terms of the health club contract and may not be waived or otherwise surrendered.

(b) (1) Each health club contract shall also provide that:

(A) The buyer or the buyer's estate shall be relieved of any further obligation not due and owing under such contract (i) if the person receiving the benefits of such contract (I) relocates further than twenty-five miles from a health club location operated by the health club or a substantially similar health club location which would accept the health club's obligations under such contract, or (II) dies during the membership term following the effective date of such contract, or (ii) if the health club ceases operation at the health club location where the buyer entered into such contract;

(B) If the buyer becomes disabled during the membership term, the buyer shall have the option of (i) being relieved of liability for payment on that portion of the contract term for which the buyer is disabled, or (ii) extending the original term of such contract, at no cost to the buyer, for a period equal to the duration of the disability; and

(C) The buyer may, at the buyer's option, void such contract prospectively if (i) the health club ceases to offer facilities or amenities that are substantially similar to the facilities or amenities that such health club offered to the buyer when the buyer initially entered into such contract, or (ii) the services offered under such contract are no longer available, or are substantially unavailable, because the operations of the health club have permanently discontinued or there has been a substantial change in the operations of the health club location primarily used by the buyer.

(2) For the purposes of this subsection, the health club location primarily used by the buyer shall be (A) the health club location designated by the buyer as the buyer's preferred health club location for delivery of services under the health club contract, or (B) if the buyer does not designate a health club location as the buyer's preferred health club location for delivery of services under the health club contract, the health club location most frequented by the buyer during the preceding calendar year.

(c) A health club shall have the right to require and verify reasonable evidence of relocation, disability or death. In the case of disability, a health club may require that documentation from a licensed physician, a licensed physician assistant, a licensed advanced practice registered nurse or another credentialed medical provider be submitted as verification.
