Refunds

We structure our classes carefully based on attendance and want to ensure that as many people as possible have access to CMTM’s AfterSchool Experiences. If you have any questions about refunds, please contact bookings@kitetails.org 

Cancellations 

  • Full (100%) refund up to 5 days before the start of the class (with no transaction fees).

  • Full (100%) refund will be offered if CMTM cancels a class due to not reaching minimum enrollment. 

Absences 

Refunds will not be issued for a missed class because a participant is sick, away on vacation, or absent for another reason.  

Minimum enrollment 

All classes are subject to minimum and maximum enrollment. We reserve the right to cancel any AfterSchool Experience due to low enrollment. Anyone registered for such a workshop will receive a full refund.

Inclement Weather 

CMTM reserves the right to cancel an AfterSchool Experience due to inclement weather. Cancellations will be made on the morning of the class. Participants will be notified of the cancellation via email. In the event that we cancel an event, the class will be rescheduled to a future date, or the participants will be given a discount code for the prorated number of missed classes to be applied to future workshops within that school year.
