1. Lead Member Responsibilities

 Every person who completes the online membership application will be individually responsible under this agreement for themselves and linked bundled members.  This same person will be responsible for paying all the appropriate membership fees for themselves and bundled members.

2. Membership 

 Your membership will begin on the day you are successful in your application.  Fees paid will be for the current months tuition.
 Membership will continue until renewed the following month by submitting fees online.

3. Membership Fees

 For standard monthly membership your membership fees are due on the 1st of each month (for the following month).
 You must pay for your membership by making manual monthly payments using Stripe Checkout unless agreed otherwise with the Club Instructor.
 After four weeks of being a member of ESKA Stevenage, a Karate license must be purchased in order to train.  This is an association cost and must be renewed annually (A fee that covers member insurance - the initial four weeks are covered by default).

4. Changing Membership Category

 People’s needs change over time, so it makes sense that you can apply to change your membership category by contacting ESKAStevenage@Gmail.com
 When you change category, your membership fees will change to the current fees for that category.
 Any changes to your monthly payments caused by adding or removing a linked member will apply from the 1st of the month the change takes place.

5. Notice of Termination

 If you wish to give notice, it must be by email to ESKAStevenage@Gmail.com and be successfully received. 
 Membership is calculated in calendar months and so where a member gives notice to end membership, enrolment will finish at the end of the current month.
 ESKA Stevenage retains the right to terminate this agreement at any time.

6. Complaints

 If you have a complaint, we would like to know about it as soon as possible so we can investigate accordingly, please speak to our Club Instructor or contact us by email.

7. Health & Fitness

 Before you start any class, you must inform the instructor about any medical conditions, injuries or allergies that may affect your health or ability to train.
 If you have any concerns about your physical condition, you must not do strenuous physical activities without first getting medical advice.
 You are responsible for monitoring your own physical condition.  If you suffer from unusual symptoms, you must immediately stop the activity and tell the instructor or any other member of staff at the venue.
 All Members acknowledge the nature of a karate class attended and take part at their own risk.

8. Unforeseen Circumstances

 Unforeseen events that may prevent a class taking place e.g. Community Voting are factored into the monthly membership fee.
 ESKA Stevenage will do everything within its gift to ensure classes take place at the allotted time.
 It is worth noting that several months out of 12 on a monthly subscription will receive 9 lessons as opposed to 8 (monthly subscription is based on 8 lessons) due to the way the days fall for a given month.
