4. Payment Terms and Conditions
Prices for Services, memberships, packages, or private sessions are communicated at the time of purchase or booking and may be updated from time to time. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are in Canadian dollars (CAD) and are subject to applicable taxes, including GST/HST/PST, where required by law.
Payment is due in full at the time of purchase unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing. We may use third-party payment processors, and your use of such processors may be subject to their own terms and conditions. We are not responsible for errors, delays, or security issues caused by third-party payment providers, except to the extent required by applicable law.
If a payment is declined, reversed, charged back, or otherwise not successfully completed, we may suspend or cancel your booking, account, or access to Services until the outstanding amounts are paid. You are responsible for any fees imposed by your financial institution.
For corporate wellness programs, private coaching, special events, or custom offerings, additional invoicing, deposits, milestone payments, cancellation fees, or written agreements may apply. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, deposits are non-refundable to the extent permitted by law and may be applied against administrative or scheduling costs.
5. Cancellation and Refund Policy
Our cancellation and refund practices may vary depending on the type of Service purchased. Any Service-specific terms disclosed at checkout, in a booking confirmation, or in a separate agreement will apply in addition to this section.
Unless otherwise stated in a specific program policy:
- Drop-in classes: Cancellations made with sufficient advance notice, as stated at booking, may be eligible for rescheduling or credit, but not necessarily a cash refund.
- Course packages and multi-session programs: Refunds may be limited after the first session or after access to course materials is granted.
- Private coaching: Sessions cancelled within the notice period specified at booking may be rescheduled, while late cancellations or no-shows may be charged in full.
- Prenatal and restorative sessions: These remain subject to the same general cancellation rules, but we encourage prompt notice if you are unable to attend for health or safety reasons.
- Corporate programs: Corporate bookings are subject to the written agreement or purchase order terms, including any non-refundable deposits and minimum attendance commitments.
We may issue refunds, credits, or make-up class options at our discretion where required by law or where we determine it is reasonable to do so. Refunds, if approved, will generally be issued using the original payment method, unless that is not possible. Processing times may vary.
We may cancel, reschedule, or substitute instructors or delivery methods for a class or program due to low enrollment, illness, safety concerns, venue issues, technical problems, or other operational reasons. In such cases, our liability is limited to rescheduling, credit, or refund of the affected portion of the fee, as required by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable Canadian law, including liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where liability cannot be excluded, it shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
