We Support
Our class paying system depends on item purchases, reflected in our class schedule. You will be notified when class fees are due and notified periodically when there is an outstanding bill on the account due to lessons or coaching fees.
Any payments not received within two weeks of the notifying email will be subject to a five percent late payment fee.
There are no refunds for class and lesson fees after the first two sessions.
We are happy to take cash, check, efos card (1.5% surcharge may apply) or bank transfer for all class and lesson fees. The easiest way to ensure bills are paid on time. This policy ensures all bills are paid on time so that we are not chasing late payments.
Private lessons are available with any BFC coach through the Email or text message. Lesson billing will be handled at the office.
If you want to cancel your lessons, must be cancelled 24 hours in advance or will be subject to a cancellation fee. No show will be charged 100% of your total amount.
