Notice, postponements & cancellations

If we have to cancel your lesson and you cannot attend a later date we can refund the full amount to your card, inclusive of the payment gateway fee.

If you have changed your mind and want to cancel your lesson we can refund the amount minus the payment gateway fee of 1.5% + 20p. You can find out more about the gateway fee here.

Open sessions

By booking an open session you are agreeing that you/the participant are at a skill level where you/they can use the skatepark features or are able to make informed decisions about how and when to use the skatepark features.

Group lessons

At least 24 hours notice is required if you want to change your booking. A credit note will be offered to the value of your booking. If less than 24 hours notice is given we cannot guarantee a credit note as there is no guarantee we can fill the space.

Private lessons

Service Level Agreement – Coaches will respond to messages within 24 hours.
At least 2 hours notice is required to change a private lesson booking. After this timeframe it is down to School of Skate Management’s discretion as to whether they will either honour the booking at another time at a 50% discount. The management are not obliged to offer this however.
In the event of a no show with no contact, the coach will wait 15 mins before the lesson is cancelled. No refund will be due.
If a School of Skate Management does not provide 2 hours notice of a change of plan, you will receive a 50% discount refunded to your account to recompense you for your time and your booking will be honoured at another time.

Skate camp

If you are later than 15 mins to collect your child there is a charge of £15 for every 15 mins that passes after the due collection time. If a child is not collected, or contact cannot be established via the details provided by the customer, Southwark Social Services will be contacted after 60 mins has passed.
