Cancellation Policy
REFUNDS Once you book a course with us, we can offer a refund with the minimum notice of two weeks before the course starts. This is so we can resell the place. Please note refunds can take 5-7 business days to be processed by our website provider. MISSING CLASS / DEFERRING YOUR PLACE Missed classes due to illness, travel, work, or other circumstances are your responsibility and cannot be compensated by Savage Heart. As we can only offer a limited number of places on each course, when someone wants to defer, this means losing a space that could be taken by another student. If for some reason you book the course and then become unavailable, it is sometimes possible to defer your place to next term. This is on a case-by-case basis and if it is possible, then we will charge a small admin fee for this. If you have already attended classes in the course you booked onto, this will not be possible. We will not defer a student's place more than once. MOVING COURSE If you decide you would like to move to another level after starting a course, this can be discussed with your facilitator on a case by case basis. There may be an admin fee for this. SAFE SPACE Our courses and work shops are safe spaces. Any hate speech, bullying or threatening behavior (physical or emotional) will not be tolerated. We reserve the right to remove anyone from the class who behaves in a way that makes other students or our facilitators feel unsafe, or intimidated.
