Hello, I have just separated from the Military and I have been going to one Martial school, around my duty station. I am going to move back home and I want to break my a year long contract. When I signed up for that school on of the instructors there suggested me to sign up for a year and just to break the contract when I will get my orders to separate from the military. However he was not the owner of the school. I still have 5 month left on that contract and it’s about 150 dollars a month so it is relatively expensive.
Dose any body know what the law says about my right to cancel such contract in case the owner of the school will not be the good guy and will just let me go.
Thank you.

Read through the contract again. Hopefully, there will be a buyout clause. If not, I'd submit in writing, the termination of your contract. Give them thirty days notice. Hand deliver this to the owner or manager of the gym. I'm sure if they are in a military town, they are used to people leaving before the contract is complete. Their employee, the instructor, acted as a representative for the owner, and you, in good faith, entered into this contract based on his verbal instructions. Good luck. Oh, thanks for all you've done for me and this country. Guys like you are why we are able to enjoy the freedoms we have.

If the owner is not a bad person, he/she should just let you out of your contract. But if that doesn't work, you can say you had a verbal agreement with one of the other instructors, saying it would be OK to break contract for military reasons. Although I'm pretty sure the verbal contract will not override the written contract you signed in a court of law (unless it's in the contract). Them, being of martial arts background, they should should have the courtesy to let you out of your contract. Hope it doesn't get to that. Good luck.

Is there a clause that says anything about military deployment or discharge? If not you may have to pay. I think you're safe. I don't think the owner would make you pay since you're military and moving. If you just wanted to quit because you didn't like it then you might would have a problem.
