Taster Classes

Monthly Subscription
4.3. This is the most cost effective way of booking Classes as there are no booking fees. When a Parent signs up the first time, they will initially pay for the remaining Classes left in that month. Then, monthly payments will be taken automatically on the first (1st) day of each month for the number of Classes in that month. An email will be sent by Mini Athletics Kingston & Wimbledon on a monthly basis detailing when the Classes are (for the month) and the total amount charged.

4.6. It is your responsibility to make sure there are sufficient funds in your account and that the saved card is valid. If an automatic payment has failed, you will be notified via email with a payment link to re-try. Failure to make payment will result in the Child’s place in the Classes being cancelled.
4.7. If you have selected a monthly subscription payment method, you hereby authorise Mini Athletics Kingston & Wimbledon Ltd to take automatic monthly payments (continuous payment authority) on the basis described above until you cancel this authorisation. Payments will be taken from the card from which you made your last payment. If you want to change the card details, please do so by logging into your account dashboard.
Block bookings
4.8. Block booking is when you pay for a block of either 6 or 12 consecutive Classes. The Classes paid for must be taken weekly in succession as they fall due. You will then have 48 hours after the final Class to book another block through the Website after which your place will be made available to others. Booking fees apply.
4.9. There are no refunds for missed Classes by you under block bookings. If Mini Athletics Kingston & Wimbledon cancels a class then an additional Class will be added to the end of the block.
Termly Bookings
4.10. Termly booking is when you pay for the termly period that Mini Athletics Kingston & Wimbledon has set. If joining during a term, you will just pay for the sessions remaining in the term. You will then be made aware of when the next term is available to book and pay via the Website accordingly. Booking fees apply.
4.11. There are no refunds for missed Classes by you under termly bookings. If the franchisee cancels a class then a discount code (to the value of one class) will be given for the next term.
