STUDIO POLICIES & IMPORTANT INFORMATION

---

SIGN-UP POLICY

To guarantee your spot in class, advance online registration is required a minimum of 2 hours before class begins.

Classes with fewer than 3 registered students may be cancelled. While cancellations are rare, we strongly encourage you to check the schedule before arriving.

WAITLIST POLICY

When a class is full, you may join the waitlist. Spots often open due to early cancellations.

If you join a waitlist, you should fully intend to attend class—even with short notice.

Important:

• You will receive an automatic email and text when moved into class
• Your Offering Tree account must have a valid phone number and email
• Once added to class, you are held to the 24-hour cancellation policy
• If you are unsure you can attend on short notice, remove yourself from the waitlist to avoid fees

LATE POLICY

Do not be late.
For safety reasons, anyone arriving after class begins will not be allowed to join the class, switch to another day, or receive a refund.

Please arrive 10 minutes early, dressed and ready to start on time.
Late arrivals disrupt the class and compromise safety for both students and instructors.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Vertical Pole Studio Pensacola has a strict 24-hour cancellation policy.

Early Cancel (More than 24 Hours Before Class)

Your class credit is returned to your account for future use.

Late Cancel (Within 24 Hours of Class Start Time)

• Class credit is forfeited
• $5 Late Cancel Fee applies to Unlimited Members

No-Show Policy

If you fail to attend your scheduled class:

• Class credit is forfeited

These fees are easily avoided by canceling more than 24 hours in advance.
