Release of Liability: I acknowledge that activities with Elev8 Dance Inc may involve the risk of serious injury and /or death. I have read this policy document, release and waiver of liability, assumption of risk and indemnity agreement, fully understanding its terms. Understanding that I have given up substantial rights by signing it and have signed it freely and voluntarily without any inducement, assurance or guarantee being made to me, I intend my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law. Images and videos taken during classes, events or performances or provided to the Elev8 Dance Inc of myself or my child may be used online or for promotional purposes.

Payment Policies: The school year operates from September through June. By registering, I agree to pay my account in full or set up a pre-authorized credit card for automatic payment instalments or provide post-dated cheques. Pre-authorized instalments are due on the 1st day of each month. Monthly instalments represent a portion of the program fees for the school year and may increase or decrease for longer or shorter months. There are no refunds or transferals on any fees paid. If classes are held online, fees will be collected as scheduled. N.S.F. fees are the responsibility of the account holder to repay. To avoid a 10% late payment surcharge, a three-day grace period is provided to update payment information or make arrangements with the administration. With missed classes (e.g. absence, illness, inclement weather, force majeure or government order), time/fees will not be refunded or recovered.

Uniform Policy: Tuition fees do not include personal items such as uniforms (e.g. tights and shoes). The uniform is only available from Elev8 Dance. A proper and approved uniform is required to participate in classes and performances. My child, out of uniform, will be provided with the necessary items, billed to my account. Failure to honour this policy will result in missed classes or dismissal. The Uniform and Dress Code is available in the studio and online.

Early Withdrawal Policy: To withdraw my student from a program mid-school-year at Elev8 Dance Inc, I understand that I must notify the administration in writing (in person or by email to info@elev8danceinc.com) 14 days prior to the next billing date. Fees are non-refundable or transferable. Without a doctor's note, a mid-school-year withdrawal will incur a $49.00 early cancellation surcharge per program. Not attending classes does not indicate a withdrawal.
