Sec. 702.252.  COMPUTATION OF CLAIM.  (a)  Recovery on a claim filed under Section 702.251 is limited to the amount of actual financial loss suffered by the member as a result of the closing or relocating of the certificate holder's health spa.
(b)  For purposes of this section, actual financial loss is computed by:
(1)  rounding the date of the health spa's closing or relocation and the contract's expiration date to the nearest full month;
(2)  subtracting the date of closing or relocation determined under Subdivision (1) from the expiration date determined under that subdivision, with the result expressed in whole months and representing the number of months remaining on a contract;
(3)  computing the gross monthly payment by adding all payments made under the contract, including any down payment and initiation fee, and dividing the resulting amount by the total number of months in the term of the contract;  and
(4)  multiplying the number of months remaining on the contract computed under Subdivision (2) by the gross monthly payment computed under Subdivision (3).
