Terms & Conditions

Please read our company’s terms and conditions carefully prior to booking all classes, courses, parties and first dance tuition. We cannot afterwards be held responsible for any errors caused by failure to read or understand them in full. The terms and conditions will differ slightly for each different type of event. Please ensure that you have read the relevant section of the terms and condition.

Party Bookings

For party bookings we require a deposit which is non-refundable. All payments and numbers must be finalised at least two weeks before the party date, the instructor cannot take any money from clients.

A minimum of two weeks notice prior to the party date is required to cancel a party, from which you will receive a refund of the balance. Cancelled parties within two weeks are non refundable.

All sessions times include changing, filling out a disclaimer, warm up and cool down.  Any medical conditions / pregnancy should be addressed before any event or class due to the physical nature of this exercise.  Participants take part at their own risk and everyone is required to sign a disclaimer and physical health questionnaire.

Property & Venues

Any props used within parties (e.g. pom poms) are the property of Bounce Studios and must be returned to the instructor at the end of the session.

Parties will be held in either a dance studio or function room.  Only the space for the lesson can be used, participants must not tamper with any equipment in the studio or en route to the studio.

Age Stipulation

Participants must all be over 18 if their party is held in a bar, and you should ask Bounce Studios regarding younger participants taking part in studios.  If within any group bookings there are found to be prospective participants who are under age, we reserve the right to request their removal from the party.

Alterations

Occasionally due to circumstances beyond our control, we must reserve the right to change the start times, dates, or venue locations previously established for your courses, classes, parties and First Dance tuition. We will endeavour to find a replacement instructor for classes, tuition and courses, however for parties where we cannot meet your needs, we will offer a full refund.

First Dance

A deposit (50% total) payment is required to secure the booking. A minimum of 72 hours notice prior to lesson commencement is required by the couple to cancel / re-schedule a lesson.   All deposits are non refundable.

Bounce Studios cannot guarantee that new dates will be available to suit both parties.

Cancelled lessons within 72 hours notice & rescheduled lessons are non-refundable.

Bounce Studios do not refund payment if:

- The client decides they are unhappy with their choreographed routine at the end of the lessons. (See Note below)

Note: The routine will evolve over the course of the lessons. This will be in conjunction with the client and so it is not possible for the client to be unhappy with their routine.

- The client decides not to continue the lessons half way through the booking for no other reason or if the wedding is cancelled

Transfer Policy

We cannot make changes to dates or times once your booking has been confirmed.

Health and Safety

All prospective applicants for courses, classes and parties are required to fill out a medical questionnaire and sign a risk disclaimer. First Dance customers must warrant that they are fit to undertake the First Dance and advise the instructor of any medical conditions which may affect participation in the First Dance. Furthermore, you must at all times follow the instructions issued by our teachers, who are trained to be mindful of your health and safety at all times. Any failure to follow instruction will automatically invalidate your insurance in the event of any injury you sustain as a consequence of this failure. Similarly, failure to follow the advice of your own GP will also render your insurance invalid for the purpose of claims.  A responsible adult must sign an Informed Consent form for all participating children.

Courses

In order to obtain a refund when cancelling a course, at least 14 days notice is required.   Anything less, we are unable to offer a refund.

In the unfortunate event that you are unable to appear at one or more of the classes in a course you are currently attending, we regret that you will not be eligible to apply for extra classes as compensation for the shortfall.

Quality

In the event that the client are unhappy with the service provided by Bounce Studios, the client must raise the issue immediately with head office. A complaints claim will then be processed centrally.

In the event that the client is grossly unhappy with the service provided by Bounce Studios due to extraordinary circumstances, the same procedure as above is followed and if successful the client will receive a full refund of all lessons taken.
