Terms, Conditions & Participation Policies

We're committed to providing a safe, supportive and professional learning environment for everyone joining our trainings.

Please read the following information carefully before booking. These policies apply to all A Fine Balance teacher trainings, instructor trainings, courses and CPDs, unless otherwise stated.

By booking, you agree to our Terms & Conditions and Participation, Health & Safety Acknowledgement.

1. Terms & Conditions

Bookings & Payment

Your place is secured once the required payment or deposit has been received.

Full payment is required unless an instalment plan has been agreed. Any payment plans and course-specific terms will be confirmed at enrolment.

Cancellations & Refunds

Our trainings have limited spaces, and bookings represent a commitment to attend.

If you're unable to attend, please notify us in writing as soon as possible.

Refunds are not normally available for cancellations due to illness, injury or changes in personal circumstances, except where required by law.

Any cancellation charges will be fair and proportionate, taking into account costs incurred, reasonable losses and our ability to refill your place. We will take reasonable steps to minimise those losses.

Your statutory cancellation and refund rights remain unaffected.

Transfers

Bookings are personal and cannot be transferred to another participant, course or future training date, except where required by law.

Changes or Cancellations by A Fine Balance

We may make reasonable adjustments to training schedules, venues, faculty or course content where necessary.

If we cancel a training, you'll receive a full refund of the course fees paid.

If we reschedule and you're unable to attend the revised dates, you'll be entitled to a full refund.

Any other material changes will be handled in accordance with your statutory rights.

Participation & Entry Requirements

Participants must meet any prerequisites specified in the individual course description.

Please inform your trainer of any relevant injuries, health conditions or limitations that could affect your participation, and follow all safety guidance.

Attendance & Certification

Full attendance, participation and completion of any required coursework or assessments are expected.

Certificates are awarded following successful completion of the requirements specified for each training. Additional practice or reassessment may be necessary, with any associated charges communicated in advance.

Unless expressly stated, our courses do not provide regulated qualifications or guarantee professional accreditation, employment or eligibility to teach independently.

Participants are responsible for ensuring they have the appropriate qualifications, competence and professional insurance for their intended teaching activities.

Course Materials & Copyright

Training manuals, sequences, resources and teaching materials remain the intellectual property of A Fine Balance or their respective copyright holders.

Materials are provided for personal learning and permitted teaching use. They must not be reproduced, distributed, sold or used to deliver other teacher training programmes without written permission from the relevant rights holder.

Liability & Statutory Rights

A Fine Balance will take reasonable care in delivering its training. Participants are expected to follow safety instructions and act responsibly.

Nothing in these terms excludes or restricts liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

2. Participation, Health & Safety Acknowledgement

Our trainings are designed to be engaging, supportive and, where relevant, physically active.

Training may include movement, practical teaching, partner work, hands-on assists and adjustments, props and equipment, breathwork, meditation, relaxation and other course-specific activities.

I understand that participation may involve physical or emotional discomfort, fatigue, strains or injury.

By participating, I agree to:

• Inform my trainer privately of any relevant injuries, health conditions, pregnancy, recent surgery or other considerations affecting my safety, and seek medical advice where appropriate.

• Follow safety guidance, use equipment responsibly and work within my own abilities, taking rest or modifications when needed.

• Stop and inform my trainer if I experience pain, dizziness, unusual discomfort or distress.

• Respect others' boundaries and consent, particularly during partner work and hands-on adjustments.

• Take reasonable care of myself, other participants, the premises and equipment, and promptly report hazards, accidents or injuries.

I understand that participation in individual practical activities is voluntary, and I may decline or stop an activity.

I understand that attendance does not automatically guarantee certification or eligibility to teach professionally. Where applicable, certification is subject to successful completion of coursework and assessments.

I acknowledge that A Fine Balance and its trainers will take reasonable care in delivering the training, and that I share responsibility for participating safely.

By agreeing, I confirm that I have read and understood this acknowledgement and have had the opportunity to ask questions.

Nothing in this acknowledgement excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or affects my statutory rights.
