In consideration for being allowed to participate in any activities, events, classes, workshops, or performances organized or hosted by The Dancers' Choice CT LLC (hereafter referred to as "the Company"), I hereby acknowledge and agree to the following terms:
Assumption of Risk:
I understand that dance and related activities involve physical exertion and may carry some inherent risks, including but not limited to sprains, strains, fractures, and other injuries. I voluntarily choose to participate in these activities and assume all risks associated with my participation.
Physical Condition:
I certify that I am physically fit and have no medical conditions that would prevent me from safely participating in dance activities. I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician before engaging in any physically demanding activities if I have any concerns about my health or ability to participate.
Release of Liability:
I hereby release and discharge The Dancers' Choice CT LLC, its owners, instructors, employees, contractors, and representatives from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or rights of action, whether personal to me or to third parties, arising out of my participation in dance activities with the Company. This release includes, but is not limited to, any and all claims for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death.
Indemnification:
I agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Dancers' Choice CT LLC and its representatives from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including attorney fees) arising out of my participation in Company activities.
Photography and Videography:
I consent to being photographed and recorded during Company events, classes, or performances. I understand that these photographs and videos may be used for promotional purposes by the Company, as outlined in the separate Social Media Release Form.
Compliance with Rules and Instructions:
I agree to follow all safety rules, guidelines, and instructions provided by the Company's instructors and staff. I understand that failure to comply with these rules may result in my exclusion from activities without any right to a refund.
No Refund Policy:
All payments made to The Dancers' Choice CT LLC for classes, workshops, events, or any other offerings are non-refundable under any circumstances. This includes, but is not limited to, missed classes, student withdrawals, or scheduling conflicts. Makeup classes may be offered at the Company's discretion and are subject to availability. In the rare event that the Company must cancel a class or program permanently, a credit may be issued toward future services, or a refund may be considered solely at the discretion of the Company.
Tuition and Late Payment Clause:
If a tuition or other fee is issued with a specified due date, payment must be received by that date. A 7-day grace period will be granted following the due date. If payment is not received by the end of the grace period, a $10 late fee will be automatically applied to the balance due. Continued non-payment may result in suspension of participation until the account is brought current.
Early Withdrawal and Buy-Out Fee Policy:
This policy applies only to full-year classes and Company members. It is not applicable to 3-month session classes or drop-in classes.
If a student withdraws from a qualifying program after January 1st of the current dance season without a valid medical excuse supported by a doctor’s note or another form of probable cause, the withdrawal must be reviewed and approved by The Dancers' Choice CT LLC’s Staff. If the withdrawal is not deemed justifiable, the student (or parent/guardian, if a minor) will be responsible for a $200 Buy-Out Fee to cover lost commitment, costume allocations, choreography planning, and administrative costs.
Minors:
For participants under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must sign this waiver on their behalf. By signing, the parent or legal guardian acknowledges that they have read and understood the terms and consent to the minor's participation.
