Terms and Conditions

1. Descriptions

Specific descriptions and illustrations of our products and services on our website reflect, as far as possible, an accurate representation of the products and services that we offer. Photographs are intended to give a general idea or flavour of the dance style or the atmosphere of a typical event but do not form part of any contract between you and Rocsters or its suppliers. In all instances the specific manner of any teaching, training, coaching or the general running of an event may vary from location to location.

2. Definitions

Workshop - a teaching session for a group.
Private Lesson - a personalised teaching session with one teacher per individual or couple. This does not mean the exclusive use of the dance studio and its facilities and it is quite normal for other personal lessons to be in progress simultaneously.
Masterclass - a group teaching experienced where an individual receives coaching and the other people in the group can see, hear and gain from this coaching.
Dance - an event with a mix of recorded and/or live music.

3. Contract, Changes and Cancellations

Payment of a non-refundable deposit is required in advance to secure your booking. The receipt of your payment confirms your acceptance of our terms and conditions and will constitute a contract governed by English Law. 

After receipt of your deposit you will receive a confirmation email at which stage a binding contract comes into effect between you (the client), and us.

The contract is between Rocsters and the person placing the booking, the lead name. It is the responsibility of the lead name to collect and pay all balances for their party.

Gender Balancing - We make every effort to properly balance genders where appropriate for social dances, but we cannot guarantee that there will be an even match of partners. Where necessary we reserve the right to restrict bookings to take account of an inappropriate gender balance.

Having booked and paid, refunds will be issued as laid out below in the event of cancellation by you. A full refund would only be given in respect of non-performance of the contract.

Payment of the balance is required by the due date - usually 6 weeks prior to the even, or as specified. If you do not pay by the due date you will be deemed to have cancelled your participation and no refund of your deposit will be considered.

For bookings made within after 8th Oct 2014, you will be required to pay the full cost of your holiday at the time of your booking.

Cancellation by you - You, or any member of your party, may cancel your holiday at any time providing that the cancellation is made by the person who made the original booking, is communicated to us in writing and sent by recorded delivery to Mr A McGregor, 41 Mill Lane, Shoreham by Sea, West Sussex BN43 5NA. We shall retain the deposit of the client that cancelled and in addition may apply cancellation charges up to the maximum below

42 days or more Deposit only
41-29 Days 75%

Cancellation by us - We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your holiday and all holidays are subject to a minimum number of participants. We will not cancel your holiday within 6 weeks of departure unless caused by events beyond our control or failure on your part to pay the final balance. In circumstances where we are unable to provide the holiday booked, we will return to you all monies paid.
