Terms & Conditions for The Nest Pole Studio
​
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
By attending The Nest Pole Studio as a student, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the following Terms and Conditions and agree to be bound by them. These Terms and Conditions are available in studio, on our website and are sent via the app or email after purchasing membership.
For phrasing purposes, an outright term is a one-off payment made at the beginning of the 8-week term and allows you to join the full term. A membership is ongoing automatic payments every 8 weeks that allocates you class credits to use within an 8-week period.
Membership class credits can be used to book into any type of class; pole class, dance class, or flexibility class.
1) Membership Details:
Membership payments are debited from your nominated card details every 8 weeks after membership commencement date. Membership commencement begins from the start date specified when buying your membership. You will not receive any correspondence before money is debited. Money is debited every 8 weeks from your commencement date, so we advise you to set yourself a reminder to have your funds ready by the first day of term.
When payment is made, your account will be automatically loaded with 8 weeks’ worth of class credits according to the chosen membership level. You need to use these class credits to individually book into each of your classes. For our Cancellation Terms and Conditions and Class Change Policy please see below.
Membership payments are unable to be reversed or refunded. To see our Membership Suspension Terms and Conditions please see below.
2) Failed Payments:
Failed payments need to be amended by the student. You will receive an email notifying you of a failed payment with a link to amend payment within 7 days. Until failed payments are amended, your account is flagged and you will be barred from attending The Nest Pole Studio. Our admin team is happy to help with amending a failed payment should you not understand the instructions.
If your account is in arrears for more than 7 days (failed payment not amended), your account will be flagged and automatically suspended. In this case, an arrears fee of $15.90 may be applicable before account renewal.
3) Class Change Policy (Make-up Classes) – Applies to both memberships and outright terms:
The Nest Pole Studio has a 12-hour class change policy. If you are unable to attend an upcoming class, you need to unbook your class credit at least 12 hours before the class runs to be able to use that class credit at a different time. Failure to unbook your class credit will result in a forfeit class credit. For phrasing purposes, booking into a class that is not your usual weekly class is referred to as a make-up class. After unbooking your class credit, you may book into any class at the same level or below your current level as a make-up class.
You can book into a class until one hour before it runs, subject to pole availability.
4) Late Arrival Policy
Students who arrive 10 or more minutes late may be refused entry to class. Being barred from class due to late arrival will result in a forfeit class. Please arrive early to avoid forfeiting your class.
