What are the cancel and refund rules?
Cancel or move a lesson at least 24 hours ahead and you don't pay for it: we move it at no charge, or, if you'd rather have your payment back, reply and ask. Late cancellations (under 24 hours) and no-shows aren't refunded; your coach may waive this for illness or weather. If your coach or Big NC cancels (weather or any other reason), we'll offer you a new time first; if you'd rather have your money back, reply and ask. Refunds are made by request and go back to the card you paid with, usually within 5 business days; your bank may take several more business days to show them.
