Our Terms & Conditions
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These terms and conditions (the “Terms”) govern the relationship between you (“You”), your child or ward (the “Child”) and 2256376 Ontario Inc. o/a AquaStream (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) in relation to the provision of the Services (as hereinafter defined) to you by us.
Services. When you request swim instructions services (a “Request”) from us either in person, by telephone or through our website, we reserve the right to accept or reject such request. If we accept your request for swim instruction services, these Terms will govern our relationship with respect to the provision of such swim instruction services (the “Services”).
Scheduling of Services. You may register for and order Services for your Child by telephone or in person at our location (the “Location”). When you register for the Services, you will be required to select a class schedule (a “Session”) from amongst the schedules offered by us. The Session will set out the times for each individual class included in the Session (each a “Class”). Once you have selected a Session, you will only be permitted to modify individual Class times or the Session generally in accordance with these Terms. Each Session is intended for specific age groups and skill levels and your Child will not be permitted to participate in Sessions not intended for their age group or skill level unless otherwise consented to by Aquastream. All Classes will be held at the location communicated to you at the time of registration. Your registration is not complete until we receive full payment of the required Fees and signature of all required documents by you and/or your Child. Aquastream requires a registration fee of $125 (or such other fee as is communicated to you by Aquastream) which will be applied towards the Fees (the “Registration Fee”).
Cancellations and Rescheduling by Customer. No refunds will be permitted for cancellations unless you cancel an entire Session at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of the first Class included in such Session. In no event are Registration Fees refundable (except as specifically set forth herein). In order to reschedule a specific Class, you must inform Aquastream in writing at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the commencement of such Class (the “Minimum Notice”). Provided that the Minimum Notice is provided in writing (at swim@youraquastream.ca), Aquastream will permit up to one (1) rescheduled class for each Session (each a “Make-Up Class”), subject to availability and these Terms. Aquastream will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a Make-Up Class but cannot guarantee the availability of the same instructor, time or day. Make-up classes must be within the original Session and no Make-Up Classes will be carried over to future Sessions. In the event that the Minimum Notice is not provided in writing, no makeup Classes will be provided. In the event that a Make-Up Class is provided by Aquastream and your Child is not able to or does not attend, you will forfeit your right to further Make-Up, such Class. Make-Up Classes can only be rescheduled if we receive written notice seventy-two (72) hours prior to the start of the Make-Up Class. No Make-Up Class will be provided unless a Make-Up Class is scheduled within three (3) days of cancellation. In the event that a Session has commenced, and you or your child can no longer attend the Classes in such Session, there will be no refunds, transfer of classes to another student and no credits applied to your account, provided, however, that up one (1) Make-Up Class will be available for such Session in accordance with these Terms. In the event, the Session has commenced, and the Child can no longer attend the scheduled day and time, the Class may be changed to a different day and time, and a $25 administrative fee will be applied.”
Fees for Services. Payment of the fees (the “Fees”) for a selected Session Schedule is due in full prior to the commencement of the first Class included in the Session Schedule. If payment is not made in full by the start of the Session, we reserve the right to refuse to provide any Services to you or your Child and remove you or your Child from the Session. No refund or rescheduled Class will be provided in the event that Services are so withheld. The Fee payable for a Session Schedule will be as communicated to you by us via email or in person.
