CLASS TRAINING FEES:
I understand that the Shoshin Karate monthly class training fees have been calculated based on the number of weeks actual class training is provided (44 weeks) per year, minus the standard holiday and closure periods (8 weeks) per year and are then divided into equal monthly instalments for ease of budget and administration. I also understand and agree that as such monthly class training fees must be paid continuously throughout the year for the duration of annual membership (1st January to 31st December), this includes throughout the holiday and closure periods.
I understand and agree that no refunds will be given for non-attendance or cancellations. Should you at any time miss your regular class, Shoshin Karate would welcome you to make up your class time at any of our other participating Shoshin Karate venues within a one-month period. Refunds will be considered if you are absent for a minimum of one month and can provide a doctor’s note. Please speak to your instructor should this occur.
Should you wish to cease training at any time, the process is simple and without penalty. Simply give 30 days’ notice in writing to your instructor and bank, and then cancel the standing order with your bank.
