• Notwithstanding the above, in the event of a Site error or inaccuracy, due to instructor unavailability, we reserve the right to cancel all confirmed class bookings up to 30 minutes prior to the scheduled Service time.

• All Services are subject to availability. We will try to accommodate your preference, but this cannot be guaranteed. The schedule of Services is subject to change without notice, please ensure that there are a number of days and class times which fit your own schedule, as we cannot offer refunds because a particular time slot on a particular day becomes unavailable, whether on a temporary or permanent basis.
