UNLIMITED MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP AND UNLIMITED YEARLY MEMBERSHIP
The Unlimited Monthly Membership and Unlimited Yearly Membership entitles the member to an unlimited number of Classes during the term of the Membership.
The minimum Membership term for the Unlimited Monthly Membership is one (1) month. After the first month, a Student’s Unlimited Monthly Membership is tacitly converted into a continuing agreement for an indefinite period. The minimum Membership term for the Unlimited Yearly Membership is twelve (12) consecutive calendar months. After the twelve months, a Student’s Membership will be tacitly converted into an Unlimited Monthly Membership for an indefinite period.
The Membership commences either on the agreed starting date or on the day the first payment is made by IDEAL or Credit Card. The next monthly cycles will be paid by direct debit, until termination.
After the minimum term of one (1) month, a Student’s Unlimited Monthly Membership may be terminated every month. Membership must be cancelled prior to the individual renewal date in order to end membership charges. Cancellation of Unlimited Monthly Membership must be processed by the Student through the Website. Studio Balance will not reimburse the Student for the remainder of any paid subscription period, nor will reimbursements be made for membership cancellations prior to any renewal date.
A Student may use any Membership only in the event of payment by direct debit (monthly Membership only).
The Membership fee will be debited from the Student’s bank account around the twentysecond day of each month. If the Membership starts during the month (i.e. not on the first day of a month), the Membership fee for the first month will be calculated on the basis of dividing the Membership fee by the days in that month, multiplied by the remaining days in that month counted from the start of the Membership. In case Studio Balance is unable to collect the Membership fee on the first collection moment, Studio Balance will send the student a notification by email informing the student that the collection of the monthly membership payment has failed. There will be a second collection moment around ten (10) days from the aforementioned notification. In case Studio Balance remains unable to collect the Membership fee with the second collection moment, an administration fee of €25 will be charged without prior notice. If the payment has not been made through no fault of the Student, no administration fee will be charged.
