How to get out of a gym contract?

We signed a contract with a cheer gym for my daughter for th upcoming season, joining their team. The program has yet to begin and no practices have yet taken place. We just learned her grades werent up to par at the end of the school year and immediately notified the gym she wouldnt be able to participate. They stated, per the contract we signed, we are liable for all the payments this upcoming year, regardless. Are we bound to this? We have not yet given them any automatic payment draft info either. Just the initial $290 deposit.

In order to determine whether you are obligated under the terms of the gymnasium contract that you have written about, you need to carefully read the agreement in that its terms and conditions control the obligations owed to you and that you owe the provider.

Whether you are obligated to pay the full contract price even though your daughter is unable to participate due to her poor grades is determined from the language of the contract you write about. Any ways to end the agreement without recourse would be stated in the agreement.
