Agreement to Terms
Welcome to SereneCircle Network. These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement between you and SereneCircle Network regarding your use of our website, programs, and services. By accessing our website, Registration for programs, or participating in any of our wellness activities, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms and all applicable laws and regulations.
If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you may not access or use our services. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time, and your continued use of our services following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review these terms periodically to stay informed of any modifications that may affect your rights and obligations as a user.
Eligibility and Registration
Our services are designed for individuals aged 18 and older, with specialized programs for adults 55 and above. By Registration for our programs, you confirm that you are legally capable of entering into binding agreements and that all information provided during registration is accurate, current, and complete. You agree to maintain and promptly update your registration information to ensure it remains accurate and current throughout your participation.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel programs at our sole discretion, particularly if we determine that your behavior violates these terms or disrupts the positive environment we strive to maintain.
Health and Safety Responsibilities
Participation in our wellness programs requires personal responsibility for your health and safety. Before beginning any program, you must consult with your healthcare provider to ensure that physical activity and yoga practice are appropriate for your current health condition. You acknowledge that participation in physical activities carries inherent risks, and you assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages that may result from your participation.
You agree to inform our instructors of any health conditions, limitations, or medications that may affect your ability to participate safely. During all activities, you commit to practicing within your personal limits, listening to your body, and stopping any activity that causes discomfort or distress. Our instructors provide general guidance and modifications, but they are not medical professionals, and their suggestions should not be considered medical advice or treatment.
Program Policies and Conduct
All participants are expected to maintain respectful, supportive behavior that contributes to a positive community environment. This includes arriving punctually for scheduled sessions, treating instructors and fellow participants with courtesy and respect, following facility guidelines and safety protocols, and maintaining appropriate attire for yoga and wellness activities. Disruptive behavior, inappropriate language, or actions that compromise the comfort and safety of others will result in removal from programs.
Program schedules, formats, and instructors may change due to circumstances beyond our control, including instructor availability, facility limitations, or health and safety requirements. We will provide reasonable notice of significant changes when possible. Attendance policies, cancellation requirements, and makeup session availability are communicated during registration and may vary by program type. Regular attendance is encouraged to maximize program benefits and maintain community connections.
Payment Terms and Refund Policy
Program fees are clearly outlined during registration and must be paid according to the specified payment schedule. We accept various payment methods for your convenience, and all payments are processed securely through trusted payment providers. Late payment fees may apply if payments are not received by the specified due date. You are responsible for ensuring that payment information remains current and that sufficient funds are available for recurring payments.
Refund policies vary by program type and timing of cancellation requests. Generally, full refunds are available for cancellations made at least 48 hours before program commencement. Partial refunds may be available for medical reasons with appropriate documentation. No refunds are provided for missed sessions due to personal circumstances, though makeup sessions or program credits may be available in certain situations. All refund requests must be submitted in writing and will be processed within 30 business days of approval.
