Publish your documents

There are four documents:

DocumentPurpose
Membership termsPrice, notice, commitment, pauses and how to cancel, in plain words.
Liability waiverWhat the member takes responsibility for when training.
Health declarationThe member only answers whether they are fit to train.
House rulesShown to members; not required to join.
  1. Click Add (or Edit) on a document.
  2. Pick the Language, then enter a Title and the Text.
  3. Click Publish new version.
  4. Repeat for each language your members use.

Members who join online must accept every published document except the house rules. Staff selling at the desk confirm the member accepted the current terms.

Each publish creates a new version. New members accept the newest version; members who already accepted keep the version they agreed to. The member's page shows which version they accepted, when and how (online, on the tablet or recorded by staff).

Failed payments and debt

When a membership payment fails, the membership becomes Past due and the member is told. Stripe retries card payments by itself; these settings decide what Nola does meanwhile.
