Apex Club Subscription Terms
Subscription Billing & Minimum Term
The Apex Club is a recurring monthly subscription. By enrolling in the Apex Club, the customer authorizes Shift Arcade to automatically charge the selected payment method each month at the published subscription rate.
All Apex Club subscriptions have a minimum commitment of two (2) months. The subscription may not be canceled during the initial two-month term.
After the minimum term has been satisfied, the subscription will continue on a month-to-month basis unless canceled by the customer.
Renewal & Cancellation
After the initial two-month minimum term, the customer may cancel the subscription at any time by providing notice through their account or by contacting the location directly.
Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are issued for unused time, credits, or benefits within a billing period.
