(815 ILCS 645/8) (from Ch. 29, par. 58)
Sec. 8. Prohibited contract provisions. (a) (Blank).
(b) (Blank).
(c) The initial term of services to be rendered under
the contract may not extend
over a period of more than one year from the date the parties enter into
the contract; provided that the customer may be given an option to renew
the contract for consecutive periods of not more than one year each for
a reasonable consideration not less than 10% of the cash price of the original
membership.
(d) No contract for physical fitness services shall require or entail
the execution of any note by the customer which, when separately negotiated,
will cut off as to third parties
any right of action or defense which the customer may have against the physical
fitness center. No right of action or defense arising out of a contract
for physical fitness services which the customer has against the center
shall be cut off by assignment of the contract whether or not the assignee
acquires the contract
in good faith and for value. Such an assignee is not a holder in due course.
