Membership, Attendance, Billing, Holds and Cancellation Policy
MEMBERSHIP, ATTENDANCE, HOLDS, AND CANCELLATION POLICY
By enrolling in Primus Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the member and/or parent/guardian acknowledges and agrees to the following:
1. Membership Tuition
Membership tuition reserves a student’s place in the academy and supports the ongoing operation of classes, coaching, facility expenses, equipment, and program development. Tuition is based upon membership in the academy and is not determined by the number of classes attended during any given month.
Memberships are billed on a recurring monthly basis. The payment method provided at enrollment will be automatically charged on the member's billing date each month and will continue to be charged monthly until the membership is cancelled in accordance with this agreement.
2. Missed Classes and Planned Absences
Refunds, credits, prorated tuition, or make-up reimbursements will not be provided for missed classes, vacations, camps, holidays, travel, sports schedules, school activities, work obligations, or other planned absences. Classes and coaching continue to be provided and available during these periods, and the member’s place within the academy remains reserved.
3. Medical and Hardship Holds
Members who are unable to participate due to an extended medical condition, injury, illness, or other significant hardship lasting two (2) or more consecutive weeks may request a temporary membership hold. Requests must be submitted at the time the absence begins and cannot be applied retroactively. Approval and duration of any membership hold shall be determined by Primus Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in its sole discretion.
4. Extraordinary Circumstances
Primus Brazilian Jiu Jitsu may, at its sole discretion, approve temporary membership holds for extraordinary circumstances, including but not limited to military deployment, relocation, or significant family hardship.

Nothing in this policy shall limit the right of Primus Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to extend grace, provide accommodations, or make exceptions in individual circumstances. Any exception granted in one circumstance shall not create an obligation, expectation, or precedent for future exceptions.
