CORE CULTURE POLICIES, PROCEDURE, TERMS AND CONDITIONS

In-Studio Policies

The client must check-in via the ‘iPad’ located on the front desk, upon arrival. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure they check-in correctly upon arrival, to confirm they have attended. If you do not check-in upon your arrival, it is assumed that you have not attended the class and No-Show Fees will apply.

You must attend/have the intention to attend the class if you have checked in. If you check-in without the intention to attend (i.e., you leave the studio after checking-in to avoid a no-show fee), it is at the Owner’s Discretion to charge a no-show fee if it is deemed a ‘check-in’ was not in good-faith.

Terms:

Late Cancel – A class cancellation that is made within 4 hours of the class start time.
No-Show – One is booked-in to a class, does not cancel their booking via the booking platform (app or via the CC website), and fails to attend the class.

Should you late cancel your class, the client is deemed to have attended the class and this will be reflected on the client’s account accordingly. A booked class must be cancelled in the Hapana Booking System (via the Core Culture Au App, or via the Website login) at least 4 hours prior to the commencement of the class. Core Culture may, at its absolute discretion accept a cancellation by email or phone. Core Culture may, at its absolute discretion accept a cancellation within the 4-hour timeframe.

Should you fail to attend your booked class, the client is deemed to have attended the class and this will be reflected on the client’s account accordingly and a $15 No-Show Fee will be applied to your saved payment method, via our payment processing platform.

By purchasing your class passes, you acknowledge that No-Show fees will be charged to your saved payment method, when applicable. You will be sent an email receipt of your payment once it has been processed. No-Show Fees may be processed by Core Culture up-to 14 days after the class date. If there is no valid payment method saved to your Core Culture Account and a No-Show Fee is to be applied, an invoice will be sent via email. This invoice is to be paid within 3 business days, or late fees will apply. This policy is put in place to encourage clients to cancel if they won’t be attending, to allow other clients to take the spot. If a class is cancelled prior to the start of class, no fee will be charged.

CORE CULTURE POLICIES, PROCEDURE, TERMS AND CONDITIONS

In-Studio Policies

Terms:

Late Cancel – A class cancellation that is made within 4 hours of the class start time.
No-Show – One is booked-in to a class, does not cancel their booking via the booking platform (app or via the CC website), and fails to attend the class.

Late Arrivals

Should a client be more than 3 minutes after the class start time (as per the public/official timetable) their spot may be given to a walk-in client. In this instance, the client that has arrived late will be charged accordingly, as a no-show. This policy is in-place to ensure prompt arrival and as minimal disruption to class for other members as possible.

Classes will not accept attendees more than 7 minutes after the class start-time, regardless of whether there are free reformers or not. This policy is in-place to avoid injury and to minimise disruption to the rest of the attendees. Warm-ups are an important part of the Core Culture method and help to keep our client’s safe. By missing the entire warm-up, we cannot do our best to keep you safe. In the instance a client arrives more than 7 minutes late and are unable to participate, they will be deemed a ‘No-Show’, and will be charged accordingly.

Refund Policy

Whilst Core Culture aims to provide a regular and flexible class schedule, the number, type and frequency of classes is subject to change without notice.

Unless otherwise agreed, Core Culture AU does not offer refunds on service's (classes). Class Days, Times and Teachers are offered at the absolute discretion of Core Culture. Classes may be cancelled or re-scheduled at the absolute discretion of Core Culture. You will not be entitled to any compensation where classes are re-scheduled.

Liability Waiver

In proceeding with the purchase of your class passes/membership, you agree that Core Culture is in no way responsible for the safekeeping of my personal belongings while I attend class.

I understand that Core Culture AU classes are physically strenuous, and I voluntarily participate in them with full knowledge that there is a risk of personal injury, property loss, and/or death.

By agreeing to these terms and conditions, I acknowledge that such risks include but are not limited to heart attack, stroke, broken bones, sprains to ankles or wrists, muscle or tendon injury, back or neck injury, shoulder injury, knee injury, tendinitis, shin splints or other injury associated with high-intensity training.

I acknowledge that I have considered these risks and made an informed decision to participate in Core Culture classes regardless of the risks. I have been given the opportunity to address any concerns I may have in relation to the risk of injury due to participating in Core Culture classes.

I agree to disclose to Core Culture and any person conducting a class I participate in any pre-existing condition I experience which may be exacerbated by the exercises performed in the classes before commencing any class.

You acknowledge Core Culture may refuse to allow you to participate in a class if they deem it unsafe to other participants or me. Core Culture often films or photographs the studio, so you may appear in the background. I agree by signing this agreement that I allow Core Culture to use my image in social media, promotional, and other business-related material without any payment or otherwise by Core Culture.

If a provision or part thereof of this agreement is illegal, invalid, unenforceable, or void in a jurisdiction, it is severed for that jurisdiction.

You can pay your membership fees as far in advance as you like, up to the legal time limits (12 months). However, you still need to provide your account details for when your advance payments end. Should there be any arrears in payments, you authorise Core Culture to debit the outstanding balance in order to bring the account up to date. You will be responsible for any fees and charges associated with declined payments.

Paying by Direct Debit

Your membership fees will be debited from your nominated account at the agreed payment frequency, as set out in your membership agreement. You request and authorise us to arrange for any amount we may debit or charge you to be debited by a third-party direct debit billing service provider from your account subject to their terms and conditions.

All payments (memberships and class packages) will incur fees from our External Payment provider, EZYPAY. If a payment declines, you will be sent an alert email and/or SMS (unless client has opted-out of all communications from Core Culture). Core Culture’s CRM system will periodically re-try this payment without further notice, up-to five times. Each payment attempt will incur a processing fee, which will be applied to the outstanding invoicing until invoice has settled. Core Culture is not liable to cover any of these fees at any stage, nor required to alert of multiple payment processing attempts. Core Culture will not attempt to settle a payment more than once (1) in a 24-hour period.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

you tell us if you are transferring or closing your account, at least 48 hours before your next direct debit;
you tell us about any changes to your credit card, such as its expiry date or number, at least 48 hours before your next direct debit.

Please notify Core Culture and your financial institution if you want to change or stop your direct debits.
