Nevada: Dance studio and health club contracts
Source: NRS 598.948, 598.950
- A dance studio or health club contract must not contain a clause by which the contract is automatically renewed and must specify the membership term (NRS 598.948).
- A buyer may cancel a dance studio or health club contract within 3 business days after receiving a copy by written notice delivered in person or mailed and postmarked by midnight of the third business day; money is returned within 15 days (NRS 598.950).
- A discount buying organization membership may be cancelled the same way within 3 business days (NRS 598.885); these contracts may not require payments for more than 2 years (NRS 598.880).
The key phrases, copied from the official text:
- “Not contain a clause by which the contract is automatically renewed” (NRS 598.948(8))
- “within 3 business days after he or she receives a copy of the contract by notifying the studio or club in writing” (NRS 598.950)
- “The notice must be delivered in person or by mail postmarked by midnight of the third business day.” (NRS 598.950)
- “The studio or club shall return all money paid by the buyer within 15 days after it receives the notice of cancellation.” (NRS 598.950)
Cancelling a renewal in Nevada
To find the cancellation route and mailing address of the business you are leaving, start with Gym memberships, Planet Fitness, LA Fitness and Crunch Fitness.
Note how and when you agreed
Look up the sign-up confirmation and the renewal date. Your contract sets the method unless the sector law above says otherwise.
Cancel through the protected channel
A health club or dance studio contract may be cancelled within 3 business days after receiving a copy by written notice delivered in person or mailed with a postmark by midnight of the third business day. Keep whatever confirmation the business gives you.
Put it in writing as well
NRS 598.948, 598.950 covers only health club and dance studio contracts, so cite it only if your contract is one of them. Write to the business, cite NRS 598.948, 598.950 and ask for written confirmation. You can build the letter with the free letter template.
If the charges continue
Show the business your proof and the statute, then dispute the charge with your card issuer. What to do if a company keeps charging you walks through it.
Why a letter with proof still helps
Outside health club and dance studio contracts, Nevada law sets no special cancellation route, so your contract's terms apply. A letter sent with tracking adds what an online click often lacks: a dated, third-party record that you asked to cancel, which card issuers and state consumer offices can check.
See certified mail for cancellations for the proof each mail service gives you.
Federal law in Nevada
The federal Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act requires online sellers using automatic renewals to provide simple mechanisms to stop recurring charges. The FTC's 2024 click-to-cancel amendments are not in force: on July 8, 2025 the Eighth Circuit vacated them (Custom Communications, Inc. v. FTC, No. 24-3137), on February 12, 2026, in a rule effective that day, the FTC recodified its Negative Option Rule "as it existed before the effective date" of the 2024 amendments (91 FR 6507), and on March 13, 2026 it asked for public comment on "the need for amendments" (91 FR 12318). Our state-by-state overview and the FTC click-to-cancel guide have the details.
