This blog is about our dealings with the owners of a American Taekwondo Association (ATA) martial arts school in Anthem, Arizona in the northwest Phoenix area. I advise caution in your dealings with them.

The auto renew was cancelled nearly a year ago, in anticipation.

Another cancellation email sent to ATA Martial Arts in Anthem

I did not receive a reply to the email I sent on Saturday to the owners of ATA Martial Arts in Anthem. I sent another email this morning:

Our membership agreement states that "At end of memberhsip agreement, buyer may cancel. Otherwise membership agreement will automatically renew for an additional 12 months at a rate of $200 per month." Our membership expires on 3/12/10.

We stopped attending your school nearly a year ago. Given our history, it is obvious that we would not wish to "automatically renew" our agreement. Nonetheless, I wish to avoid misunderstandings, so I will state explicitly: We do not wish to renew the agreement.

I would appreciate the courtesy of a reply to acknowledge the receipt of this notice.

Thank you.
