Should a payment be declined for any reason, The Gym Howth reserves the right to process payment at any time to settle any debt owed. If a direct debit is declined due to insufficient funds, the transaction will fail which requires additional administration and yields additional bank costs. Unfortunately, The Gym Howth is unable to absorb these costs and these fees for these failed transactions. This fee is debited 7 days after the failed payment.
The Gym Howth is in no way responsible for additional bank fees that you may incur from your bank. Bank fees are under the terms and conditions of contractual agreements that lie between you and your bank.
