Enrollment, Fees & Payment

By enrolling in a program or purchasing any service from ABC Martial Arts, you agree to pay all applicable fees, tuition, and charges as described at the time of enrollment or purchase. You acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • Pricing: All prices are subject to change at any time without prior notice. The price in effect at the time of your enrollment or purchase will apply to that transaction.
  • Recurring Payments: If you enroll in a program with recurring billing (e.g., monthly tuition), you authorize ABC Martial Arts or its designated payment processor to automatically charge your payment method on file at the agreed-upon intervals until you cancel in accordance with these Terms.
  • Failed Payments: If any payment is declined, returned, or otherwise fails, you remain responsible for the full amount due. A late fee or administrative fee may be applied to past-due balances as permitted by applicable law.
  • No Refunds: Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all fees, tuition, and payments are non-refundable. Trial sessions, introductory offers, and promotional rates are subject to additional terms as stated at the time of the offer.
  • Account Freeze & Holds: Requests to temporarily freeze or place a hold on your membership or enrollment are subject to approval and the terms and conditions of your specific membership agreement.
  • Collections: If your account becomes delinquent, we reserve the right to refer the outstanding balance to a third-party collection agency. You agree to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Cancellation & Termination

Cancellation of enrollment or membership must be submitted in writing (including email) in accordance with the specific terms of your enrollment agreement. Verbal requests alone are not sufficient to effect cancellation.

  • Cancellation requests must be received at least thirty (30) days prior to the next billing cycle to avoid charges for the following period.
  • Cancellation does not entitle you to a refund of fees already paid, except as required by applicable law.
  • Any promotional or discounted rate is contingent upon fulfillment of the agreed-upon commitment period. Early termination may result in forfeiture of promotional pricing and assessment of the regular rate for the period of participation.

ABC Martial Arts reserves the right to terminate your enrollment or access to any Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, including but not limited to violations of these Terms, the Code of Conduct, or failure to pay fees when due. Such termination shall not relieve you of any obligation to pay outstanding fees.

Dispute Resolution & Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the province or state in which ABC Martial Arts operates, without regard to conflict of law principles.

A. Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceedings, you agree to first contact ABC Martial Arts in writing to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. The parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of at least thirty (30) days from the date of written notice before pursuing any other remedy.

B. Binding Arbitration

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, you agree that any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or the Services (including the formation, validity, enforceability, or breach thereof) shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except as otherwise required by applicable law. Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in the jurisdiction in which ABC Martial Arts operates, in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules and procedures in that jurisdiction. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

C. Class Action Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against ABC Martial Arts. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and the dispute shall proceed in court.

D. Limitation Period

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms, the Site, or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arose. Failure to file within this period shall constitute a permanent waiver and bar of such claim.

Force Majeure

ABC Martial Arts shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, government orders or restrictions, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, labor disputes, power outages, internet or telecommunications failures, fire, flood, or other catastrophic events. During any such period, ABC Martial Arts's obligations under these Terms shall be suspended to the extent affected by the force majeure event.

Personal Property

ABC Martial Arts is not responsible for the loss, theft, or damage of any personal property brought to our facility, including but not limited to clothing, bags, electronics, jewelry, wallets, keys, and vehicles. You assume all risk of loss or damage to your personal belongings. We strongly recommend that you do not bring valuables to our facility and that you secure all personal items in your vehicle or at home.

Modifications to Terms

ABC Martial Arts reserves the right to modify, amend, supplement, or replace these Terms at any time and at our sole discretion. When we make changes, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we may provide additional notice (e.g., by posting a prominent notice on the Site or sending you a direct communication). Your continued use of the Site or continued participation in our Services after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Site and our Services immediately.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, while preserving the original intent of the parties to the greatest extent possible.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Waiver, and any enrollment agreement or membership contract you have executed, constitute the entire agreement between you and ABC Martial Arts with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. No waiver by ABC Martial Arts of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition.

Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of ABC Martial Arts. ABC Martial Arts may freely assign, transfer, or delegate its rights and obligations under these Terms without restriction or notice, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or other business transaction.

No Waiver

The failure of ABC Martial Arts to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of ABC Martial Arts. A waiver of any right or provision on one occasion shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision on any other occasion.
