1. New Member Introduction

New students are entitled to one complimentary session. Subsequently, you are required to establish a direct debit for ongoing training fees. The initial payment may be adjusted to cover training for the remainder of the current month.

 

2. Training Subscription Changes

To switch from training once a week to unlimited training, please contact the ESKA office at 01603 418751 or via email at [email protected]. This upgrade becomes effective from the date of payment and is valid for one calendar month.

 

3. Payment Policies

Payment Failures: If your direct debit is declined by your bank for any reason, you are responsible for any costs incurred by ESKA. A £10.00 administration fee will be charged per failed payment. You must then initiate the payment process again.

Alternative Payment Options: If direct debit setup is not possible, annual or bi-annual payments can be made via cash or bank transfer.

 

4. Membership Freezing

Memberships can be frozen if you cannot attend classes for at least one full month. During this period, members must continue to pay a reduced monthly fee for insurance and membership (£3.50 for Tiny Tigers and Juniors, £5.00 for adults) to maintain the benefits of catching up on classes within a 12-month rolling period and being able to attend TSKUK member events. Freeze requests must be submitted to [email protected] at least 28 days in advance. Verbal confirmations are not accepted.

 

5. Class Participation

Members are encouraged to attend any ESKA class suitable for their age and grade.

 

6. Making Up Missed Classes

Missed classes due to holidays or illness can be made up at any suitable ESKA class within a 12-month rolling period, provided your membership is active.

 

7. Fee Policies

Non-Refundable Fees: Fees for training, gradings, licenses, competitions, etc., are non-transferable and non-refundable.

Event Booking: Bookings for gradings, competitions, or events must be completed by specified deadlines. Late bookings will incur a £5.00 administrative fee, payable at the time of booking. This fee is non-refundable.

 

8. Membership Cancellation

To cancel your membership, written notification must be sent to [email protected] at least 28 days in advance. Verbal notifications are not accepted.

 

9. Breaks in Membership

If there is a break in membership of one month or more, any accrued lessons will be forfeited.
