Punctuality
Lessons will start and end at the specified times. Lessons will not be extended due to lateness. If regular tardiness becomes an issue, the teacher reserves the right to make the student's lesson time available to others.
48-Hour Cancellation Policy
If you cancel or change your lesson within 48 hours you will need to pay the full fee for that lesson (unless there is an emergency - this is determined on a case-by-case basis). Our coaches dedicate time to lessons whether they are attended or not so we feel it is important that they are remunerated for that time. We therefore appreciate you giving us more than 48 hours' notice to allow us enough time to offer your lesson to another student who may be on the waiting list if you are unable to attend 🙂
Payment
Invoices are automatically emailed the Monday morning before your lesson and automatically charged to your stored credit card through Stripe. Invoices must be paid the week in which service is provided in order to avoid late payment fee.
Communications / Privacy
We may contact you from time-to-time with news and updates related to the studio. You may also receive a weekly email during terms with a list of available casual lessons for the week. You can opt-out of non-account-related emails at any time. We respect your privacy and your contact information is only used internally and will never be sold to or shared with any other company.
