BOOKING AND CANCELLATION POLICIES

RESERVING SESSIONS AND CLASSES: You are solely responsible for the booking and canceling of your sessions and classes. You may schedule private sessions and group classes on the Movement Remedies Website. From there, You must log into your account, and either have an existing private session or group class credit in your account, or purchase a private session or group class to secure the reservation.

Your reservation is not considered complete until it is paid in full at which point an email receipt confirming the same will be sent to You.

Acuity provides You the option to store your credit card information in your account. As all reservations for private sessions and group classes are booked through Acuity (either the Website or application), You may choose to add this information to your account for ease of transaction; otherwise, You will be asked to re-enter payment information at each checkout.

  

CANCELLATIONS: All private sessions and group classes may be canceled without penalty by canceling up to: 24-hours prior to the start time of either your private sessions or group class. This may be done online only via 1) the Website, or 2) via the links available in the confirmation email sent at the time of booking.

If the cancellation is made within the cancellation window prior to Your session or class, it will be considered a ‘late cancel’ and the session/class credit will be forfeited, and/or You will be charged the full amount. If You do not show up to the scheduled session or class it will be considered a ‘no show’ and You will forfeit the session/class credit.

Cancellations via texting, email, Facebook messenger, Instagram, and other social media platforms are not valid forms of cancellation, and You will be charged if the booked session is not properly canceled outside the cancellation window.

In the event of an emergency, Movement Remedies reserves the right to move your session/class to another mutually agreeable time, or to cancel it outright. In this rare instance, You will not be charged for the changed session/class, and You session will be promptly rescheduled.

 

LATE ARRIVALS: You are expected to arrive at your private session or group class on-time, with the required equipment, and ready to begin your workout. Accordingly, if You arrive late to your scheduled private session or group class, it is within the discretion of the instructor whether to proceed with the session or allow You to enter class. However, if You are more than 5-minutes late to a group class, You will not be admitted to class and Your tardiness will be considered a “no-show,” forfeiting your class credit.

In the instance that the instructor does proceed with the private session, the private session time will not be extended due to Your tardiness, and will end at the scheduled time. In the event that You are so late that it is not feasible to train, your tardiness will be considered a “no-show” and the session will be forfeited from Your account.

CREDIT CARDS ON FILE: Clients may elect to keep a credit card on file in their Acuity account online for (1) ease of transaction and/or (2) incidental charges related to the services provided by Movement Remedies. By placing a card on file, the cardholder and account holder gives permission to Movement Remedies to charge the card through their account for any session, class and/or cancellation/no-show fees accrued in accordance with the Movement Remedies cancellation policy detailed above. For reference Acuity processes payment through its own internal payment processor, but clients will likely see the charges as from “Movement Remedies’’ on their credit card statement.

 

HOSTING PLATFORM: The Website is hosted via an integration with Acuity, which is responsible for all login/account information and payment transactions. In the event of technical issues, Movement Remedies refers You to Acuity for support as Movement Remedies does not have access to account details other than session and class sign-ups.
