Terms & Conditions
TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Our discounted uniform offer is subject to students signing up and making initial payment for one of our programmes.
MEMBERSHIP
Provision of our service is subject to payment of our published fees and conduct in accordance with the traditions of our style and standards laid out in our safeguarding and federation members' handbooks (all available on request). In certain circumstances, we have the right to decline requests for membership - a full written explanation will be provided on request.
You must give full disclosure of any possible conflict of interest when signing up to one of our programs, such as membership/affiliation to any other martial arts organisation – failure to disclose can result in the termination of your membership and recovery of any losses/damages to our school because of any undisclosed activities.
Breach of safeguarding and federation rules or non-payment may result in our cancelling your membership.
If for whatever reason, you decide to cancel your membership, we require 30 days' notice in writing of the cancellation.
FEES AND BILLING CYCLE
Tuition fees are collected at a discounted rate for either payment by direct debit on the 1st, 15th or 28th of the month or by one of our annual discount rates.
Each billing cycle assumes an equal number of four weeks per calendar month thus, direct debit collection amounts do not vary. Therefore, each member only pays for 48 weeks of a 52-week year - this allows for school closures during holiday periods and student voluntary absences.
Opening over bank holiday weekends is at the owner’s discretion.
Every endeavour will be undertaken by us to provide you with the highest quality of lesson content regularly - unforeseen circumstances such as equipment failure, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, pandemics, outbreaks of war, riots, civil unrest and/or illness may lead to lesson cancellations we will give you as much notice as feasibly possible in such circumstances.
