This will allow us time to offer your space to another team. To cancel or reschedule your booking, use the Member's area or the email containing your booking details. We cannot do this for you unfortunately. If you provide at least 48 hours notice of your need to cancel, we will credit your account, for use towards a future session. However, if you do not cancel with at least 48 hours notice, you will forefit any payment you have already made.
PLEASE NOTE: If you can fill your space with less than 48 hours notice, to a fellow student, please let us know. It is then your responsibility to seek reimbursment from the student taking your place.
