A suspension of payments is granted upon written request to info@secretninjaschool.com for a minimum of two weeks and maximum of 16 weeks at a time. You may pause your membership for 20 weeks in total across a calendar year. Personal or family holidays are not considered exceptional circumstances. Injuries are not considered exceptional circumstances unless Doctors certificate states a non-attendance period of more than 31 days. A maximum of 3 months suspension (pause) of training fees will be granted, then full Re-Registration of the Primary family member must occur again. Members are encouraged to attend to watch sessions even when injured, so that they can continue to study skills from the sidelines and make notes. Please PRINT all your receipts (including any above payments) and take them to your Instructor for verification if requested. All amounts unless noted are inclusive of GST and are non-refundable once drawn from nominated account. Credit/Debit card surcharges or fees may apply – they are listed on the establishment of the billing. If insufficient funds prevent a payment, there are fees imposed by Stripe and Westpac which will be passed on to the member. Please always ensure you have sufficient funds in your account. No training is delivered on Public holidays unless your Manager/Instructor offers a special deal. A 2 week session-free period is factored into all memberships from late December until mid January. Your recurring billing will pause for this period but you will maintain your membership. Your Manager/Instructor may offer sessions over this time as part of any special deal or casual attendance. If your training fees fall behind you may be invoiced directly for outstanding amounts PLUS 1 months (31 days) fees. If you fail to pay the invoice within 14 days then membership may be cancelled and debt recovery action commenced. Where a Manager/Instructor must cancel a class at short notice due to unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances then an offer may be made for a ‘make up’ session or extended session to compensate for time missed. You may be invited in good faith to attend a session that would not normally be your routine session to make up for the missed session, however this is not always possible with other community users using facilities. In these circumstances no refund is payable, however replacement or extended sessions may be. Casual visit costs will be incurred if your attendance is greater than your Training Fees/Subscription plan allows for (eg 3 sessions per week but only paying for 1 session per week). Plans may be adjusted by a member only once every 3 months. SNS and Regional Managers adjust all fees and costs once per year to allow for inflation and other associated rising costs.Costs description – All bundled into Subscription payments unless otherwise noted:Registration Fee (RF) is the upfront Administrative charge – for processing organisational Registration.Training Fees (TF) is the ongoing amount on Subscription / Recurring billing that a member pays for ‘Session Packages’ – this pays such things such as hall hire, Instructors and regional managers.
