Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

815 ILCS 645/8

(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.
