Cancellation and Discount vouchers
​
1) Discount vouchers are at the discretion of XLR8 Dance & Wellbeing and based on individual circumstance. If you wish to leave any XLR8 Dance & Wellbeing Class, Club, Workshop or Camp you must email (xlr8danceandfitness@gmail.com) or fill in our online contact form stating your reason for leaving and when you plan to leave. For the avoidance of doubt, discount vouchers will not be offered to customers who contact XLR8 Dance & Wellbeing on/after the day of the event that they were unable to attend.
​
2) Discount vouchers (if agreed by XLR8) will only be for the remaining classes in the term, not for classes already taken place, whether you have attended them or not. Discount vouchers will be calculated, less an administration fee of £6.50, based on the number of classes/lengths of the course remaining and any hall hire agreements already in place which need to be covered.
​
3) If a participant has attended 3 or more classes of a course, term or club and decide they no longer wish to continue then a discount voucher will not be applicable and full-term payment will still be required. This is due to the class, term and club place now unable to be offered to a new participant wishing to join as they will have missed 3 key sessions of the term.
​
4)For the avoidance of doubt, classes missed by a participant due to illness, including COVID-19 symptoms or being unable to attend school due to COVID-19 or any other pandemics (whole school or class illnesses), school trips or other absences will NOT be offered a discount voucher.
​
5) Should an XLR8 Dance & Wellbeing camp, workshop, class or club have less than 6 participants booked, we reserve the right to cancel this event. Participants will be given at least 48 hours notice. Where possible XLR8 Dance & Wellbeing will use all reasonable endeavours to offer alternative opportunities. Should this not be possible, a full refund will be given.
