Good point, but I'm not saying that people shouldn't pay it, that would be breech of contract. I'm saying that these shorts of condition should not be there in the first place.

The worst case i've heard of was a gym that after a year membership had expired, they still wanted to to charge 3 CALENDAR months to leave (£480.00). Not even phone companies do that.

Now i don't know about you, but I would not be able to remember every single term of every contract after a year, in enough detail to remember that I would have to let them know 3 months before cancelling membership.
