The following guidelines apply to training services. Please review carefully!

• Cancellations: I understand that the trainer operates on a scheduled appointment basis for all sessions and thus requires 24 hours’ notice when I cancel/reschedule an appointment. No charges shall be levied should I cancel/reschedule with more than 24 hours’ notice. Should I cancel within the 24-hour window, I will forfeit my session, and I will purchase an additional session if I wish to reschedule.
• Promptness: It is important to arrive on time for a scheduled appointment. I understand that the trainer might have another appointment immediately following my session, and tardiness may result in reductions to the normal length of the session.
• Refunds: There will be no refunds for sessions.
• Expiration: Sessions will expire each new billing cycle. Any unused sessions will notroll over to the next month.

As an organization, we support and protect the dignity and worth of everyone. We stand for equal rights and opportunities for all employees and clients. We do not tolerate harassment or unwelcome comments and actions. We will take prompt action if such occurrences happen including failure to follow any rules or regulations, for reasons of nuisance, disturbance of others, unmoral, or fraud, or if we determine that your actions may endanger yourself or others.
