REFUND & CANCELLATION POLICY:
REFUND & CANCELLATION POLICY:
Refund Policy for Class Packages
We understand that plans change and want to provide a fair and transparent refund policy for class packages. Please review the terms below:
Cancellations Before Any Sessions Are Used
Participants may receive a full refund if they cancel before attending any sessions in the package.
Cancellations After One or More Sessions Are Used
Refunds will be prorated based on the number of sessions used at the single-session rate (not the discounted package rate) and will be reduced to include the processing fees charged by the payment processor. An administrative fee of $25 will also be deducted from the total refund.
Example: If a 4-session package costs $150 (at $37.50/session), payment processing fees are 2.9% +.30 per transaction (as of 2025 and are subject to change) and one session has been used, the refund will be calculated as follows:
If a 4-session package costs $150 (at $37.50/session), and payment processing fees are 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction (as of 2025 and subject to change), and one session has been used, the refund will be calculated as follows:
- Package Price: $150
- Payment Processing Fees: (2.9% of $150) + $0.30 = $4.65
- Per-Session Rate (at full package price): $37.50
- Used Session(s): 1 session = $37.50
- Administrative Fee: $25
- Final Refund Amount for remaining 3 sessions: $82.85
This ensures that refunds fairly account for the session(s) attended, the non-refundable processing fees incurred at the time of payment, and the administrative fee for handling cancellations and adjustments.
Transfers
Class packages are non-transferable. Unused sessions may not be transferred to another person or applied toward a different class or event.
Expiration of Packages
Packages must be used within the time frame specified at the time of purchase (e.g., 6 months from the first session). Refunds or extensions will not be granted for unused sessions after the expiration date.
Cancellations by the Organizer
If the organizer cancels a class included in your package, participants will be given the option to:
- Reschedule the session.
- Apply the missed session toward a future class.
- Receive a prorated refund for the canceled session(s) at the package rate.
Emergency Situations
If participants are unable to complete their package due to unforeseen circumstances, they may contact us to discuss options for partial refunds. Requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Policy for Instructor Discontinuation
We strive to provide a consistent and high-quality learning experience for all participants. However, in the rare event that an instructor discontinues teaching before a class package or session series is completed, the following policy will apply:
Instructor Discontinuation Before the Start of a Class Package
If the instructor is no longer available before the first session begins, participants will receive the option to:
- Transfer to another class of equal value.
- Receive a full refund.
Instructor Discontinuation Mid-Series (After One or More Sessions Have Been Completed)
If the instructor is no longer available to complete a class package, participants will receive a pro-rated refund based on the number of remaining sessions.
Replacement Instructor
If a suitable replacement instructor is available, the class will continue as scheduled. In this case, refunds will not be issued unless the participant opts out before attending a session with the new instructor.
Special Considerations
If the instructor discontinuation is temporary due to an emergency, sessions may be rescheduled rather than refunded. We will communicate any changes as soon as possible and do our best to accommodate participants.
