Terms and Conditions

By enrolling a student at Inspirations Dance, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.

Classes are invoiced on a Monthly basis (if your child cannot attend a class, you will not receive a refund). No refunds will be given under any circumstances unless classes are cancelled. Any goods (e.g uniform) must be paid for prior to ordering.

Inspirations Dance operates for 47 weeks of the year, with the annual cost of classes divided equally over 12 monthly payments.

The monthly fee is calculated as:
Class price × 47 weeks ÷ 12 months

Monthly payments are due on the date stated on the invoice.

Inspirations Dance does not operate on a pay-as-you-go basis.

No refunds or reductions will be given for missed classes, including holidays, illness, appointments or other personal circumstances, unless the class is cancelled by Inspirations Dance.

Any goods, including uniform, clothing or other merchandise, must be paid for in full before an order is placed.

Families with two or more students enrolled will receive a 10% discount on the second child and subsequent children.

To terminate a student’s enrolment, one month’s notice must be provided in writing.

Fees remain payable throughout the notice period, whether or not the student attends classes.

To ensure that we can continue providing the high standard of classes, teaching and experiences our students enjoy, it is essential that fees are paid promptly.

Unfortunately, we are spending an increasing amount of time chasing overdue fees, with unpaid invoices now amounting to several thousand pounds. This takes valuable time away from running the school and supporting our students.

As a result, the following procedure applies to overdue accounts:

• • If fees remain unpaid 14 days after the due date, the student’s classes will be suspended until the outstanding balance has been settled.
• • Suspension of classes does not cancel or reduce the outstanding balance.
• • Suspension of classes does not cancel any applicable notice-period fees.
• • Any account that remains unpaid following our final reminders may be referred to Federal Management, our appointed professional debt recovery agency.
• • Any additional costs or fees that are legally recoverable as a result of debt recovery may be added to the outstanding balance.
• • Inspirations Dance reserves the right to refuse further enrolment where an account remains seriously overdue.

We sincerely hope that debt recovery will not be necessary. However, we can no longer continue to absorb the time and costs associated with repeatedly pursuing overdue payments.

If you are experiencing genuine financial difficulties, please contact us before your payment becomes overdue. Where possible, we will discuss the situation with you and may agree a suitable payment arrangement.

We greatly appreciate the support of the vast majority of our families who pay their fees on time and help us keep Inspirations Dance running smoothly.

Class times, teachers, venues and timetables are subject to change at the discretion of Inspirations Dance.

Where a significant change is required, families will be notified in advance wherever reasonably possible.

Inspirations Dance reserves the right to combine, alter or discontinue classes where necessary, including where student numbers are insufficient to operate a class effectively.

Inspirations Dance will not be liable for cancellations, closures or interruptions to classes resulting from circumstances beyond our reasonable control (“Force Majeure Events”).

A Force Majeure Event may include, but is not limited to:

• •⁠ Acts of God;
• • Interruption of power, water or other utilities;

Dance, acrobatics, cheerleading and other physical activities involve an inherent risk of injury.

Due to the nature of dance and the requirements of teaching and safely assisting students, it may sometimes be necessary for a member of staff to use appropriate physical contact with a student. Any physical contact will be appropriate, proportionate and carried out for teaching, positioning, assistance or safety purposes.

All teaching staff are appropriately trained for their roles and hold the required safeguarding checks, including a current DBS certificate where applicable.

Inspirations Dance takes reasonable steps to provide a safe environment for all students while they are attending classes.

All reasonable steps will be taken to minimise the risk of injury. However, accidents can happen and participation in physical activities carries an inherent risk of injury.

Inspirations Dance will not accept responsibility for injury or loss arising from circumstances outside our reasonable control or from risks inherent in participation, except where liability cannot legally be excluded or limited.
