CANCELLATION AND BOOKING POLICIES
In order to cancel an Elements Studios class, you may cancel online or by calling the studio NO LATER THAN 12 hours prior to your scheduled class. Once your class is canceled by this time it will be returned to your account. If you have not canceled your class by the 12 hour window, the online system will not permit you to do so. Cancellations via electronic mail (email), Facebook messenger, Instagram, or text message will not be taken and you will be charged.
If you book multiple classes or waitlist multiple classes, you are solely responsible for canceling your classes within the bounds of the cancellation policy. Elements Studios staff cannot be held responsible for accidental bookings by clients or double bookings or double waitlisted classes made by clients. Late cancel and no show fees apply if you do not cancel within the bounds of the cancellation policy for double bookings.
Please be aware that we release bikes EXACTLY five minutes prior to the start of class to those on the waitlist. If you are running late, please CALL the studio and speak to the front desk to assure we hold your bike. Elements Studios staff will add walk-in waitlisted clients in the order in which they were added to the waitlist by the computer system, top to bottom, and EXACTLY five minutes prior to the start of class. There is no wait list priority given for early arrival.
You MUST SIGN IN next to your name upon arrival. If you do not sign in, we may release your bike to another guest five minutes prior to the start of class. DO NOT ASSUME THE FRONT DESK STAFF KNOWS YOU ARE IN ATTENDANCE.
PACKAGE PURCHASES AND CREDIT CARDS ON FILE
By purchasing a package from Elements Studios, you agree to our terms and conditions in full. Packages cannot be shared between clients. Unlimited and auto debit contract clients are required to keep a credit card on file. If a client holding an unlimited or auto debit package does not keep a card on file, their contract will be terminated and the package will not renew if holding an auto debit package. If a client on an unlimited or auto debit contract either cancels late or does not show to class, and no credit card is on file, the package will be reduced by one day and the auto debit contract suspended.
Specially priced expiring packages may not be extended, transferred, refunded, shared, or frozen. Packages that expire will activate on the first class either booked OR waitlisted. Placing yourself on a waitlist with an expiring package will, in fact, activate your package. Elements Studios staff will not adjust or extend special packages due to waitlisted classes or accidental bookings through the acts or omissions of clients. The expiration date set on an expiring package is the date on which the package may no longer be used. Clients purchasing expiring packages do so with the understanding of these terms and agree to be bound by such.
Clients may elect to keep a credit card on file using their Elements Studios account online. By placing a card on file, the cardholder and account holder gives permission to the Elements Studios staff to charge the card for any auto debit packages and/or cancellation fees accrued in accordance with the Elements Studios cancellation policy detailed supra.
AUTO DEBIT CONTRACTS
The following terms and conditions apply if you are enrolled in an unlimited auto-debit contract:
I, the Client, authorize Elements Studios to, on a recurring basis, automatically charge the debit or credit card account I specified, for monthly payments due on my unlimited auto-debit plan associated with my account. I understand that Elements Studios will initiate transfers/charges pursuant to this authorization not to exceed the amount shown on my auto debit contract and/or in connection with cancellation fees according to the Elements Studios cancellation policy. Elements Studios will initiate charges each month on the date my contract is set to renew.
Elements Studios may discontinue processing of recurring charges if the Company is unable to secure funds from my debit or credit card I have authorized due to, but not limited to, insufficient or uncollected funds in the account or insufficient or inaccurate information I provided. I understand that the Elements Studios booking system allows for booking through the week regardless of the renewal date of my contract. I understand that if I am booked in classes past the date of renewal, and my credit or debit card fails to bill properly, I will be removed from any classes past the renewal date and notified via electronic mail. I understand that if I am removed from class due to the circumstances as described, it may not be possible to place me back into the class for which I was originally booked and that I will not be given any priority in waitlisted classes. I also understand that it is my responsibility to keep my card on file current and my billing address and zip code accurate. Elements Studios cannot be held responsible for errors in processing due to expired or inaccurate information.
