• Refunds for late students will not be issued.
• The Pole Studio reserves the right to alter the timetable or teacher due to circumstances beyond our control.

This waiver extends to all claims of any kind what so ever, foreseen or unforeseen, known or unknown, direct, indirect or consequential losses.
• Nothing in this waiver shall exclude or limit The Pole Studio’s liability (i) for personal injury caused by its own or its instructor’s negligence; (ii) for fraud; or (iii) in any way that is not permitted under applicable laws.
