What the health club bond actually covers
Alabama's Health Studio Services Act (Ala. Code §8-23-1 et seq.) requires a health studio that sells contracts for services to be rendered at a planned studio or one under construction to purchase a security bond of not less than $50,000, or file an equivalent irrevocable letter of credit. The point is to protect members who pay up front before a facility is fully open.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. A buyer who suffers a loss by reason of the seller's breach of contract or bankruptcy may bring an action on the bond and recover against the surety. The surety's total liability can't exceed the aggregate amount of the bond, regardless of how many claims are filed.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a buyer's claim, you repay the surety. Whatever your situation, we issue the $50,000 bond at a flat 3% with no credit check. If your facility doesn't fall under the preopening/planned-studio rule, send us your details and we'll confirm whether a bond is required.
