We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any booking at our discretion.
Bookings are personal and non-transferable unless agreed in writing.

Transfers: If you contact us at least 72 hours before your open session Workshop start time, we may (at our discretion) allow a one-time transfer to another available open session Workshop within 30 days, subject to availability.
Cancellations or no-shows, are not eligible for refunds or transfers.
Event cancellations by us: If we cancel or reschedule a Workshop (for example, due to instructor illness, venue issues, or low enrolment), you will be offered a full refund or a transfer to another session. Refunds will be issued to your original payment method within 10 business days.
Force majeure: We are not liable for cancellations or postponements caused by circumstances beyond our control (see Section 14).

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive any claims against London Ballroom Skating, its instructors, staff, agents, or venue partners for injury, loss, or damage arising from participation — except where caused by our proven negligence or wilful misconduct.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, costs, or damages (including legal fees) arising from your participation or breach of these Terms.
