Desi Dance Fitness Membership and Policies Overview

Payment and Billing:

1. Payment Due Dates: Membership fees are due at the beginning of each month or before attending the first class of the month. It’s important to ensure payments are made on time to maintain access to classes and avoid any interruptions in your membership benefits.

2. Late Payments: If payments are not received within five days of the due date, a late fee of $10 will be added to the outstanding balance. This fee helps manage the administrative costs associated with late payments and ensures timely payment from all members.

3. Autopay: By enrolling in a monthly membership, you agree to allow Desi Dance Fitness LLC to automatically charge the payment method you provide. This convenient option ensures you never miss a payment and allows for seamless continuation of your membership without manual payment each month.

Pause Membership:

- Members have the option to pause their membership for up to four weeks, twice a year, for reasons such as vacations or other personal matters. To utilize this option, members must inform Desi Dance Fitness before the billing month begins. This advance notice is necessary to adjust billing and ensure the pause is properly recorded in the system.

Cancellation Policy:

- Membership operates on a month-to-month basis, providing flexibility to members. If you wish to cancel your membership, you must notify Desi Dance Fitness before the start of the next billing month. If a member stops attending classes for three consecutive weeks without notifying the studio, their membership will automatically be considered canceled. To resume membership after such a cancellation, there will be an additional $15 onboarding fee.

Class Schedule and Cancellations:

1. Class Schedule: A schedule of classes will be provided at the beginning of each month. Members must sign up for classes in advance to ensure adequate space and resources are available.

2. Class Cancellations: If a class needs to be canceled by the studio, members will be notified at least 24 hours in advance. A makeup class will be scheduled to compensate for the missed session. This ensures that members can maintain their fitness routine without disruption.

Attendance and Conduct:

1. Attendance: Regular attendance is encouraged to maximize the benefits of the classes and improve learning experiences. Members are expected to arrive on time to avoid disrupting the class and to get the full benefit of the session.

2. Code of Conduct: Respectful behavior towards instructors and fellow members is mandatory. Any form of disruptive behavior can lead to immediate termination of membership without a refund. This policy ensures a positive and supportive environment for everyone.

Safety and Liability:
