§ 59.1-297.2. Automatic termination of a health spa contract
A health spa contract shall be considered terminated automatically if the health spa facility goes out of business; provided that both the health spa and the buyer shall continue to have all rights under the contract they had at the time of termination. For purposes of this section, a health spa facility "goes out of business" if the facility has permanently closed and the health spa does not provide a comparable alternate facility for the buyer to use. A health spa facility does not "go out of business" if (a) the facility closes and the health spa provides a comparable alternate facility for the buyer to use; (b) the facility is relocated to a comparable alternate facility; or (c) the facility closes temporarily for a reasonable period of time (i) for renovations to all or a portion of the facility, (ii) because the lease for the facility has been canceled, or (iii) because of a fire, or a flood or other act of God, or other cause not within the reasonable control of the health spa. Within 14 days from the time a health spa facility temporarily closes pursuant to subdivision (c) of this section, the health spa shall provide notice of the date it expects to reopen, which date shall be within a reasonable period of time from the time the facility temporarily closes, to the Commissioner and shall conspicuously post such notice both within and outside each entrance to the facility.
