Policies & Procedures
Terms & Conditions
FlavaFitness Studio reserves the right to refuse services to any person that violates our policies, terms & conditions, or code of conduct and further reserves the right to dismiss any said person in which behavior is deemed offensive, inappropriate, unsafe, or otherwise destructive with no guarantee of any refunds to purchases made for the current or future services.
Release of Liability
Everyone who wishes to attend classes at FlavaFitness Studios MUST complete this Release of Liability form. Parents or legal guardians MUST complete the form for any minor children (under the age of 18) who wish to attend class.
You are responsible for knowing your own limits during class. If you feel uncomfortable with any movements for any reason, you are not required to do them. However, FlavaFitness Studios requests that you keep moving in the same direction as the rest of the class as to not cause an accident or prevent others from participating. If you often need to stop, take a break, or modify movements; we request that you do NOT stand in the front of the class as many times these participants are leaders during times that other participants cannot see the instructor.

Punch Cards are not deemed gift certificates and are entitled to an expiration date. *It is your responsibility to utilize all class credits in the allotted time frame associated with your purchase. You MAY use multiple credits per day or per visit or for a variety of classes within the same “type” as the Punch Card purchased.

Refund Policy
All sales are final. Absolutely no exceptions.
Every patron is given the choice to pay for just one class or multiple classes in a specified period of time. Buyer’s remorse (not liking the class) is not a justifiable reason to demand a refund. Refunds will be given only on rare and extreme circumstances when services where NOT rendered as scheduled.
Cancellation Policy
Weekly Classes - We understand that sometimes you may have every intention on attending a class when you “reservation” online but are forced to miss class due to unforeseen circumstances. Please understand that when you make on online reservation for a service, we honor it 100% and other students may be turned away if the class is full. Therefore, if you do not cancel your online reservation at least 2 hours prior to the start time, a class “credit” WILL be deducted. Cancellations MUST be made online! No telephone cancellations will be accepted. Members with unlimited credits should NOT abuse this feature or their online reservation privileges will be terminated.
Other Services - All special events, workshops, events, camps, rentals, appointments, etc. do not allow for any early cancellation options and/or refunds. All sales are final upon registration, enrollment and/or purchase.
Studio Cancellations - Advance class cancellations due to schedule conflicts, travel, training, special events, etc. are posted on the FFS home page, our social media pages, mobile apps, automated phone system, announced in all classes, and communicated to you via email and/or text message if you have opted in for those services. In rare circumstances a class must be canceled due to inclement weather restrictions, severe illness/injury to the instructor, or a sick family member. FFS makes every attempt to find a substitute or other alternative to canceling a class prior to making the decision to cancel a class. If a class must be canceled at the last minute, every effort will be made to contact you through all available means. If we are unsuccessful, you will be compensated one free class upon your arrival for your inconvenience.

Choreography Clause
I understand that if I am a dance/fitness instructor attending this class that it is for my personal use and not for the use of copying choreography without the permission of the instructor.
