JIBE STUDIOS WAIVER & POLICIES
By registering with Jibe Studios, I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and agree to the following terms and policies for myself and/or the student(s) I am registering.
1. AUTHORIZED SIGNER
I confirm that I am at least 18 years old and am either the participating adult, the parent or legal guardian of the participating minor, or have been authorized by the parent/legal guardian to complete registration on their behalf. I confirm that I have authority to agree to these terms for the student(s) being registered.
2. AUTO-ENROLLMENT & CONTINUING AUTHORIZATION
By enrolling in a Jibe Studios class, I understand and agree that the student will be automatically enrolled in the same class for each subsequent 10-week session unless I opt out or request a schedule change in accordance with Jibe Studios' communicated deadlines and procedures.
This auto-enrollment authorization will remain in effect for the duration of the student's enrollment at Jibe Studios unless I withdraw my authorization or discontinue enrollment.
I understand that class schedules, instructors, tuition, fees, and other enrollment details may change from session to session. Jibe Studios will communicate applicable enrollment and payment information prior to the start of each new session.
I authorize Jibe Studios to charge the payment method on file for tuition and applicable fees according to the payment schedule communicated for each session. I understand that I may cancel future auto-enrollment by submitting Jibe Studios' online Schedule Change Form or through another cancellation method communicated by Jibe Studios.
3. ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP
Jibe Studios maintains an annual membership period beginning each July. An annual membership fee may apply and will be communicated in advance.
4. PAYMENT & ACCOUNT POLICIES
Returned payments and credit card chargebacks are subject to a $35 fee. Outstanding balances may be subject to applicable finance charges.
Credits under $95 remaining on an account for more than one year may be donated to the Jibe Studios scholarship fund.
5. REFUND & CHANGE POLICY
For each class, $35 of tuition per session is non-refundable and non-transferable.
A tuition refund, less the non-refundable portion, will be issued only when a class, camp, or event is dropped at least 24 hours before its first meeting. Once the activity has begun, no refunds or credits will be issued for late enrollment, early withdrawal, missed classes, outside activities, illness, injury, or other student absences.
Class additions and schedule changes are subject to availability and registration deadlines and must be processed by Jibe Studios administrative staff.
6. CLASS SCHEDULES & STUDIO POLICIES
Jibe Studios reserves the right to change instructors, class days or times, or cancel a class due to low enrollment or other circumstances. A minimum of five students is generally required to hold a class. If Jibe Studios cancels a class, families may be transferred to another appropriate class or receive a credit for the unused portion of tuition.
Studio holidays, closures, performances, and other important dates are listed on the Jibe Studios calendar. Families are responsible for reviewing the studio calendar.
There are no make-up classes or credits for student absences. Session pricing is structured to account for up to two missed class meetings per session.
Students are expected to follow staff instructions and behave in a manner that supports a safe and productive environment. Jibe Studios reserves the right to remove a student from a class or activity if the student's behavior creates a safety concern or substantially disrupts the class or activity. Serious or continued behavior concerns may result in suspension or termination of enrollment.
7. PERFORMANCES & COSTUMES
Participation in Jibe Studios' Spring and Fall shows is expected for participating classes.
Applicable costume and show fees are non-refundable regardless of participation. Costumes not picked up by the date of the applicable show may be forfeited without refund or credit.
8. SUPERVISION, GUESTS & PERSONAL PROPERTY
Jibe Studios is responsible for students only during their scheduled class, rehearsal, or supervised activity. Jibe Studios is not responsible for students before, after, or between scheduled activities.
Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising siblings and other minor guests who accompany their family but are not participating in a scheduled Jibe Studios activity. Family members, friends, and other guests must follow Jibe Studios rules and staff instructions and use studio facilities, seating, equipment, and other property only as intended.
I understand that entering and remaining on Jibe Studios premises may involve risks to students and visitors, including slips, trips, falls, contact with dancers or equipment, and other risks associated with an active dance and tumbling facility.
Jibe Studios is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal property. Items remaining in lost and found may be donated at the end of each month without additional notice.
9. PHOTO & VIDEO RELEASE
I authorize Jibe Studios to photograph, video, and/or record the student and members of my family or guests accompanying us while attending Jibe Studios classes, rehearsals, performances, events, or other studio activities. I authorize Jibe Studios to use these images, recordings, likenesses, voices, and/or performances in Jibe Studios promotional, educational, social media, website, and other studio-related materials without compensation.
I understand that content posted on social media may be shared, commented on, or identified by third parties outside Jibe Studios' control.
10. PHYSICAL CONDITION
I confirm that the student is physically able to participate in the activities for which they are registered. I understand that it is my responsibility to notify Jibe Studios of any condition, injury, restriction, or other information that may affect the student's safe participation.
I understand that Jibe Studios does not provide medical insurance or medical benefits for participants and that I am responsible for medical expenses incurred on behalf of myself and/or the student.
11. ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I understand that participation in or attendance at dance, tumbling, rehearsals, performances, camps, events, and other Jibe Studios activities involves inherent risks.
These risks may include, but are not limited to, falls, collisions, slips, trips, sprains, strains, fractures, impact injuries, and other bodily injury, as well as loss of or damage to personal property.
I voluntarily assume these risks for myself and/or the student. I also understand that family members, friends, and other guests who enter Jibe Studios or attend Jibe Studios activities may encounter risks associated with an active dance and tumbling facility, whether or not they are participating.
This assumption of risk applies to participation in and attendance at Jibe Studios activities held onsite, offsite, virtually, and during studio-sponsored performances, events, and activities.
12. RELEASE & WAIVER OF LIABILITY
In consideration for participation in Jibe Studios classes, programs, rehearsals, performances, events, and activities, I voluntarily release and hold harmless Jibe Studios, its owners, employees, instructors, agents, contractors, volunteers, affiliates, successors, and representatives from claims for injury, death, property damage, or other loss arising from participation in Jibe Studios activities, including claims resulting from the ordinary negligence of Jibe Studios or the released parties, to the fullest extent permitted by California law.
This release applies to activities conducted onsite or offsite and to Jibe Studios-sponsored classes, rehearsals, performances, events, camps, transportation, virtual participation, and other related activities.
I understand that by agreeing to this provision, I am giving up certain legal rights for myself and/or the student, including the right to bring certain claims against Jibe Studios and the other released parties.
13. EMERGENCY MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION
In the event of an emergency involving the student and if a parent or guardian cannot be reached promptly, I authorize Jibe Studios and its representatives to contact emergency medical services and authorize the student to receive reasonably necessary emergency medical care.
I understand that Jibe Studios does not assume financial responsibility for medical treatment and that I am responsible for any resulting medical expenses.
14. ONLINE & VIRTUAL PARTICIPATION
Jibe Studios may occasionally offer classes or other activities through electronic or virtual means. I understand that participation in a virtual class may result in the student's image, likeness, or voice being visible or audible to other participants.
The assumption of risk, release of liability, and other applicable provisions of this agreement also apply to virtual participation.
15. EVENTS BEYOND JIBE STUDIOS' CONTROL
Jibe Studios is not responsible for providing refunds or credits for classes, rehearsals, workshops, programs, or performances that are cancelled, interrupted, or prevented by circumstances beyond Jibe Studios' reasonable control, including natural disasters, fire, severe weather, government orders, public health emergencies, acts of war or terrorism, or similar circumstances.
16. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by California law, any liability of Jibe Studios arising under this agreement will be limited to the amount of tuition paid by the student to Jibe Studios during the three months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in this agreement is intended to limit liability that cannot legally be waived or limited under California law.
17. GENERAL TERMS
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California.
If any provision of this agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
This agreement, together with any additional written enrollment terms or program-specific agreements accepted by the participant or parent/guardian, constitutes the agreement between the parties regarding the matters addressed here.
18. TERM OF AGREEMENT
This agreement applies to the student's participation in Jibe Studios classes, programs, rehearsals, performances, events, and related activities and remains in effect throughout the student's continuous enrollment with Jibe Studios unless replaced by a subsequent agreement or otherwise terminated in writing.
I understand that Jibe Studios may periodically update its policies or require a new agreement to be accepted.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I acknowledge that I have read and understand this Waiver & Policies Agreement, including the Auto-Enrollment & Continuing Authorization, payment authorization, assumption of risk, and release of liability. I voluntarily agree to these terms for myself and/or the student(s) I am authorized to register.
