CANCELLATION, RESCHEDULING, AND REFUND POLICY

This policy is a material term of this Agreement. By booking any service, Client authorizes Culture OC to charge the credit card on file for any applicable fees

described below.

Notice Requirement:

To avoid fees, Client must provide at least 12 hours’ advance notice (via phone, text, or email to the studio) to cancel or reschedule any

appointment. Notice is measured from the scheduled start time of the session.

Late Cancellation Fee:

Cancellations or reschedules made with less than 12 hours’ notice will incur a 15% late cancellation fee calculated on the full cost of the specific

therapy/service booked. This fee compensates for reserved time and preparation.

No-Show Policy (New Clients / New Bookings):

For no-shows on new bookings by new clients, a 50% charge of the full service cost will be applied to the credit card on file. This reflects the

significant impact of last-minute unavailability on scheduling and operations.

Credit Card on File:

When making a booking, Client provides and authorizes Culture OC to securely store a valid credit card on file. This card will be used for any

applicable late cancellation, no-show, or other authorized charges under this policy. Client agrees to maintain a valid card on file and authorizes

these charges without further notice.

Rescheduling:

Rescheduling follows the same notice rules as cancellation. Changes made with less than 12 hours’ notice are treated as late cancellations and

subject to the 15% fee (the original appointment is released, and a new booking is required).

Refunds & Exceptions:

No refunds are issued for late cancellations, no-shows, or services not used. In rare cases of documented medical emergency or extreme

circumstances (at Culture OC’s sole discretion), fees may be waived or credited toward a future session. Contact the studio immediately if an issue

arises. Package or membership sessions follow the same policy unless otherwise stated in the membership agreement.

This policy ensures fairness to all clients and allows us to maintain high-quality, timely service. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

  • I confirm that I am in good health or have consulted with a healthcare provider regarding participation.

  • I assume full responsibility for any injury, loss, or damages resulting from my participation.
