These Terms of Service apply to all users of the Site, including, without limitation, users who are browsers, vendors, customers, merchants, or contributors of content.

Please save and read these Terms of Service carefully before accessing or using the Site. You are only authorized to use IAM Yoga Services (as defined below) if you agree to abide by all applicable laws and to these Terms of Service. By accessing or using any part of the Site, including, but not limited to, visiting, using, or contributing the Digital Properties, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to all of the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you should leave the Site and discontinue use of IAM Yoga Services immediately.

Any new features or tools which are added to the Site shall also be subject to the Terms of Service. You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time on this page.

ACCOUNTS

In order to access some features of the website, you will have to create an IAM Yoga account. You may never use another person’s account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. You must notify us immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. You are strictly prohibited from possessing duplicate IAM Yoga accounts where the account holder name, email address, phone number or physical address are the same. IAM Yoga reserves the right to merge such accounts without prior warning. Duplicate accounts that have been used to gain access to promotions or offers that would not have been available to the account holder had the user not been in possession of multiple accounts will get charged for the full value of services received without prior warning.

MEMBER SERVICES AND POLICIES 

CANCELLATIONS: You must cancel a class at least 12 hours in advance, or you will be deducted that credit. For Unlimited Memberships, you will get charged a $15 fee for no-shows (i.e., not attending class without cancelling at least 12 hours in advance) and $15 for any late cancellations. No-shows include switching time slots within the 12-hour notice time period. You can cancel online, in our app, or by calling us. YOU STILL WILL BE CHARGED FOR NO-SHOW FEE.

(In the event of special circumstances, clients may receive 5 grace cancellations per year where no deduction or charge will be incurred for a late cancellation or no-show to use that. Give us a call or email us before the class starts. Unfortunately, We cannot go back and waive the fee now that it has been put through.

 If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us at info@iamyoga.ca

RESERVATIONS: You must be physically present 10 minutes prior to the start of your scheduled class or your spot may be given to a waitlisted client.

WAITLIST: If a class is full we still highly recommend adding yourself to the waitlist. Last minute cancellations can open up an opportunity for you to take the class that you desire. When a cancellation is made, the first name on the waitlist gets automatically added to the class, and you receive an automatic email. Once you get added to the class from the waitlist, you become responsible for attending or cancelling.

FREEZING UNLIMITED MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP: Members with the $159 auto-renew package can freeze/pause their membership 2x per year for a minimum of 3 weeks, and a maximum of 2 months per freeze. They must submit their request in writing via email. If they call or make the request in person, please ask them to send an email.

PERSONAL BELONGINGS: You agree that IAM Yoga is in no way responsible for the safekeeping of your personal belongings in the facility. You assume all risk of loss for any of your personal belongings.

LATE ARRIVAL PHILOSOPHY

If you are not signed in at the desk within 10 minutes before class starts, and there are students hoping and waiting for a spot in class, we open the available spots in class to those who are on the waitlist, this means that you may lose your reservation. We also start our classes on time and will not accept any late entry to classes. Once the teacher closes the door – entry is not permitted.

SILENT PRACTICE ROOMS & STUDIO 

Our practice rooms are silent, clutter-free spaces. Please do not bring personal belongings such as bags or cell phones into the practice room. We also ask that you keep conversations to common areas and outside of the practice room before and after class. 

Please avoid coming in and out of the room once class has started unless it is an emergency. If you need to leave class prior to it ending please exit quietly and respect the space of those around you.

Entry to the practice room is not permitted more than 10 minutes prior to class. This allows our staff time to turnover the class and teachers to prepare if necessary.
