The monthly draft is a continuous membership with payments made through convenient automatic draft. Drafts may not be canceled
within first 4 months of membership.* To put a membership on hold or to cancel, a draft change form must be completed and returned to
the YMCA by the first of the month of the next scheduled draft. Membership holds may be submitted online at www.ridgewoodymca.org/

RIDGEWOOD Y SCREENS
The YMCA conducts regular sex offender screenings on all members, participants and guests. If a sex offender match occurs, the YMCA
reserves the right to cancel membership, end program participation and remove visitation access.
CREDIT / REFUND POLICY
The purpose of our credit/refund policy is to allow the YMCA to offer quality programs and proper class ratios while maintaining flexibility
to our members. The YMCA reserves the right to cancel or combine programs (sessions of classes) because of insufficient enrollment or
conditions beyond our control. A full or prorated voucher will be given for any program canceled by the Y. If registration in a program is
canceled by a member before the start of the session, a refund for the program fee will be issued, minus a $10.00 service fee. After the
first class, a prorated voucher minus a $10.00 service fee will be issued. There will be no vouchers for registrations canceled after the
second class unless a physician’s note is issued. There will be no refunds for canceled registrations after the session has started. In order
to keep our program fees as low as possible, we are unable to issue refunds, vouchers or makeup classes for individual classes canceled
as a result of unscheduled building closures (such as closure from inclement weather). Class attendance is the responsibility of the
participant. The Y does not provide make-up classes or vouchers due to member absences unless a physician’s note is issued (this includes
private swim lessons). There will be no refunds for missed classes. Vouchers are applicable toward any YMCA program and are good for
two years from date of issue. Vouchers are not redeemable for cash. No refunds or vouchers are given for memberships, joiner’s fees,
swim team or gift certificates. Note: above cancellation policy does not apply to camp. Please see our camp guide for camp cancellation
policy.
