Terms & Conditions

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR APTON DANCE STUDIO

PAYMENTS

Our aim is to make things as easy as possible for our customers. You can pay as you go at any class. Payment is due at the start of each class that you take by card, apple pay or cash.

VENUE/LIVE CLASS PROBLEMS

If for any reason the venue is unavailable or the live class is not able to go ahead (regardless of the reason), we will do our best to arrange a replacement venue or if this isn’t possible, we will live-stream the classes. 

CLASS POLICY AND CODE OF CONDUCT

Clothing: All students need to be in appropriate clothing and footwear: something comfortable that allows for free movement. If taking a Latin American / Ballroom class, it is advisable that you invest in the proper dance shoes. If you are undertaking exams it will be necessary for you to have the correct dance footwear.

Arrival Time: Students should aim to be ready for classes 5 minutes prior to the start time to ensure a smooth transition between classes.

Behaviour: Teachers and staff expect respect and polite behaviour from all involved with Apton Dance Studio at all times.  Any inappropriate behaviour will be recorded and suitable action will be taken. If any inappropriate behaviour takes place from either staff or customers, we ask kindly that it be reported to us to help resolve the situation as this too will not be tolerated.

We are within our rights to ask anyone to leave the premises at any time if a behaviour is deemed inappropriate and threatening.  In the event of this being a minor, the appropriate guardian will be contacted.

MEDICAL DISCLAIMER

Any information or guidance we provide is not a substitute for the consultation, diagnosis, and/or medical treatment of your doctor or healthcare provider.

You must not rely on any information or guidance we provide you or your child with as an alternative to medical advice from your doctor or healthcare provide and we expressly disclaim all responsibility, and shall have no liability, for any damages, loss, injury, or liability whatsoever suffered by you or your child or any third party as a result of your reliance on any information or guidance we provide you with.

If you have any specific questions or concerns about any medical matter, you should consult your doctor or healthcare provider as soon as possible.

If you think you or your child may be suffering from any medical condition, you should seek immediate medical attention from your healthcare provider. Do not delay seeking medical advice, disregard medical advice or discontinue medical treatment because of the information or guidance we provide you or your child with.

Nothing in this disclaimer will limit or exclude any liability that may not be limited or excluded by applicable law.

YEARLY EVENTS

Local Events: We take part in local fairs and events throughout the year – these change from year to year but one regular event that we attend is the Bishops Stortford Carnival. We invite certain classes to take part in these events which will be discussed with you and all relevant information is given a few months prior to the event to ensure you are able to attend.

Special Events: We do provide special events every couple of years including performing in London. These events will come at a cost but we try to keep them as affordable as possible. Rehearsals for these events will be separate from dancing and there will be a charge for this class to cover staff and any additional costs.

For all events, extra rehearsals may be required.

You agree that you or your child are participating in the dance classes, fitness classes and events at your own risk and that we shall not be liable under any circumstances for any matter arising out of your participation (other than for matters for which we are not legally able to exclude or limit liability).
