Refund & Cancellation Policy
No Refunds
In general, the club has a strict No Refund policy; in that funds will not be returned unless the circumstances are deemed extraordinary, warranted, & worthy by the club. However we will attempt to provide & facilitate transfer, credit or replacement whenever possible, practical, or reasonable to do so in order to provide the purchased service or product.
We are a not-for-profit club run solely by volunteers. We don't have the capacity or margin to just write off costs or lost earnings. If you are reasonable with us, we will be more than reasonable with you.
Courses
A person who gives more than 48 hours notice of their inability to attend a course can:
Have their course registration be rescheduled to another course date at no additional cost; OR
Nominate an eligible substitute participant aged 10 or above, at no additional cost;
A person who gives less than 48 hours notice of their inability to attend a course will not be eligible for a refund or transfer, however:Â
They may nominate an eligible substitute for an eligible participant aged 10 or above, at no additional cost; OR
They may request that their course registration be rescheduled to another course date at no additional cost; Honouring that request is likely, but not guaranteed.
A request of a refund or transfer after a course has commenced (a "No Show") will not be considered unless there are extraordinary circumstances. e.g. "I slept in", "I forgot", "I thought it was on a different day" etc do not count.
Payments for course fees made on the day of a course are non-refundable.
If an event is cancelled by the club due to circumstances beyond its control (e.g. Severe weather), it will:
Attempt to notify participants via the contact details they have provided to the club, & via Facebook post as soon as a decision has been made; AND
Transfer participants free of charge to the next suitable course date or arrange a special replacement course.
