TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Staff/teachers:
All staff, including cover teachers (who may be brought in at short notice), are qualified, experienced and DBS checked. Volunteer class assistants and trainees on placements are all DBS checked. There will always be a first aider on site.
Attendance:
Students must arrive promptly. It is very important that students arrive in time for their classes, preferably 5 minutes before the start. This allows the group time to settle from the moment the class starts.
Where possible, Momentum Dance will aim to let people know of any changes in venue or class time at least one week ahead of schedule.
Illness/Injury:
Students are advised not to attend classes if they are feeling unwell or have a known injury which could be exacerbated by taking part. This includes presenting any contagious illness including (but not limited to): Flu and as of March 2020, symptoms of COVID-19.
COVID-19: Students are expected to follow government advice regarding when to self-isolate. You must complete a health declaration form before attending Momentum Dance.
Refunds will only be given in the event of illness or injury preventing attendance at classes for a sustained period of time at the discretion of the principal.
Booking:
Momentum Dance does not provide drop-in classes for adults on all term time courses. All courses must be booked in advance. New students may join courses during the term subject to availability. If there are no spaces on a requested course when booking, then Momentum Dance will aim to provide an alternative option where possible.
Payments:
Full payment must be received in advance to confirm a place. For all current students, courses must be registered in advance. Payment must be paid by the last week of the previous term to guarantee the place. If payment for registered places is not received by this time and the Momentum Dance office hasn’t been contacted in advance, then the place may be offered to another student. Payment can be made via bank transfer, or by Direct Debit via GoCardless (please ask for details)
We are here for anyone who may find it hard to make a payment deadline. Contact us to talk in confidence about a possible payment plan.
Late Payment
The payer will receive written notice if payment has not been received in accordance with these terms and conditions. We reserve the right to charge interest for any unpaid fees.
Non-payment
Failure to make payment before term starts may result in no place being available. If this happens Momentum Dance will make every attempt to offer an alternative course or arrangement. If this is not possible then your name will be added to a waiting list. If payment is outstanding, Momentum Dance reserves the right to withhold services.
Cancellation
Occasionally some courses may be cancelled due to circumstances beyond Momentum Dance control. The administration team will endeavour to contact paid customers and will either offer an exchange for the course or, in rare cases of a cancellation, a full refund will be given.
Momentum Dance reserves the right to cancel a course if there are fewer than seven participants on a course and the above efforts will be made to place a student in an alternative course or offer a pro-rata refund where appropriate. If a single class does not take place due to circumstances beyond our control, Momentum Dance will view this class as postponed and will reschedule.
Localised Lockdowns and Pandemics:
If Momentum Dance cannot deliver classes due to force majeure or government directive, we shall implement online classes via video conferencing software as a replacement. A refund will not be offered in this instance.
If a student or household member is told to self-isolate by NHS Track and Trace (or equivalent service), we are unable to offer a refund for classes. However, we are able to offer a make-up session, whereby you can join another class on the timetable, as long as there is space available. This will be at the discretion of the principal.
Refunds:
Momentum Dance cannot offer a refund if you do not attend courses. A full refund will be given if the chosen workshop date/course is fully booked on receipt of payment.
Termination Notice:
You can give consent at the time of registration or by logging into your online account.
If a student wishes to leave a class, we must receive a months notice. However, a refund for the remainder of the term paid will not be given.
Photography and Video footage:
Photographs and video footage of student’s taken by Momentum Dance may be used on our website/Facebook page/Instagram and for publicity purposes.
