Terms & Conditions of Purchase
These Terms & Conditions of Purchase apply to everybody who purchases any type of class, series, workshop, private lesson or package of classes (“Purchaser”) directly from Pilates V or indirectly through a 3rd Party Payer (including but not limited to ClassPass and Groupon).
SECTION 1: FEES AND PAYMENTS
- Purchaser’s Obligation. Purchaser shall not be relieved of the obligation to make payments agreed to, and no deduction from any payment shall be made because of Purchaser’s failure to use the facilities of Pilates V (the “Studio”).
- Form of Payment. All payments (including per class payments and incidentals) are payable by electronic funds transfer from the Purchaser’s credit card account or debit card account. Purchaser must authorize payments to be made through a third party administered electronic funds transfer system. Purchaser maintains full control and privacy over his or her account at all times, and the transfer of funds affects only those fees that have Purchaser’s prior authorization and when a Purchaser authorizes any additional transaction, including but not limited to single classes, class series, class packages, and retail or product transactions either on the Studio’s website or in the Studio’s facilities, as well as charges associated with late cancellation and/or no-shows.
- Returned Payment Penalty. Purchaser will automatically be charged any bank fee imposed on the Studio, plus a processing fee, for any returned payment item due to closed accounts, insufficient funds or similar issue. On such occasion, the Studio retains the right to collect the current and past due balances in any subsequent month.
- Disputed Charge Penalty. In the event that a Purchaser initiates a credit card dispute that is subsequently resolved in the Studio’s favor, the Studio shall have the right to charge Purchaser up to $50 per occurrence.
- Cancellation of Classes and Waitlist Policy. In order to make a reservation, you must first purchase a pass, session, workshop or series. To do this, you can go to www.pilatesv.com to “Sign Up” and create a username if you have not done so already. You should be aware that services expire and class and future services prices are subject to change. We accept Mastercard, Visa, and Discover. We do not accept American Express. All Studios are cashless and accept credit cards only. Reservation and cancellation deadlines apply regardless of website, phone or facility functionality.
Your credit/debit card will be charged for your order when you make a purchase. Pilates V will not process reservation charges that use an incorrect, expired, or over-the-limit credit card. We will make our best efforts to contact you if this occurs. If you fail to pay any fees or charges when due, services or privileges may be suspended or terminated. You shall be responsible and liable for any fees, including attorneys’ fees and collection costs, that Kismet LLC may incur in its efforts to collect any unpaid balances from you.
Please reserve your spot for class on https://pilatesv.pike13.com. Click on the Book Classes page and choose a class time you would like a spot. If a class is full you will see a ‘Sign up for the Waitlist’ button to joint the waitlist for that class. If a spot opens up in that class at least 12 hours before the class begins, you’ll be placed into the class and notified via email. If a spot opens up within 12 hours before the class begins, we will reach out to offer that spot first to clients who waitlisted earlier.
It is recommended that you sign up in advance for Pilates V classes. You are able to book classes out as far as you like. Clients with an active pass, plan, sessions or membership can sign up in advance by calling, texting, sending an email or signing up online through this website. All reservations are held until the class begins.
SECTION 2: CLASS CANCELLATION POLICY
Class reservations are valid only if you are ready and in the class studio within 5 minutes of the class commencing. In fairness to all our customers, spots will be released 5 minutes after the class commences. You can cancel your reservation by logging on to your account through https://pilatesv.pike13.com.
Due to limited spots available in each group class or private session, Pilates V has two types of charges to motivate attendance. A LATE CANCEL charge of $15 occurs if you cancel within 12 hours of the scheduled class time. A NO-SHOW charge of $25 occurs if you do not cancel out before the scheduled class time, if you arrive more than 5 minutes late to class, or if you are signed up for a class and do not attend at all.
If you cancel your spot within 12 hours before the start time of class, your class will be returned to your pass or plan to be used at a future date; the class is not refunded but you will be charged the “LATE CANCEL” fee. If you do not show up and do not cancel your reservation, your scheduled class will not be refunded and you will be charged a "NO-SHOW" fee.
SECTION 3: PURCHASER RISKS
- Medical Recommendations. Purchaser is strongly advised to consult with his or her physician or to have a physical examination before using any of the Studio’s facilities or enrolling in any of the Studio’s classes, especially if Purchaser is elderly, pregnant, has a history of heart disease, high blood pressure or other chronic illness, or is unaccustomed to strenuous physical exertion or has any other physical limitations that could create an increased risk of injury or adverse health consequences from strenuous exercise.
