Notice of Consumer Rights for Bond-Exempt Businesses & Important Business Practices

Our business’s registration number with the State’s Consumer Protection Division is E3527.

We are not required to carry a performance bond under the Maryland Health Club Services law because we do not accept more than three (3) months’ payment in advance or charge initiation fees over $200.

If Baltimore Martial Arts Academy Inc. is closed for one (1) month or more, you are entitled to your choice of either an extension of the contract or a prorated refund. If the closing is not the fault of the business, the business may choose the remedy.

You have the right to cancel this contract completely within three (3) business days after receipt of a copy of this agreement. Cancellation must be in writing and delivered in person or by certified or registered mail. If you cancel, you are entitled to a full refund of all tuition paid.

Cancellation Policies

If you move your residence more than 25 miles from our facility, you may be eligible to cancel your membership. Proof of relocation is required.

If you become disabled for at least three (3) months during the membership term and the disability is confirmed in writing by a licensed physician, you may be entitled to an extension of the contract. Because we are exempt from the bonding requirement, we cannot collect payments during a member’s disability extension so that we are not holding more than three (3) months’ payment in advance.

Downgrades (e.g., two days per week to one day per week) and/or other adjustments are not guaranteed and will only be granted with the owner’s express written consent. When adjustments are granted, written notification must be provided at least thirty (30) days before the change takes effect.

Appeals, requests, or absence notifications must be made in writing and delivered to the owner at least thirty (30) days in advance.

Unless you receive a verified reply from Baltimore Martial Arts Academy, you should assume your email was not received and should follow up in person to obtain confirmation.

No monetary refunds will be given for missed classes. Time extensions are at the owner’s discretion. No contract or payment freezes will be granted unless arranged in advance during the enrollment process. When such arrangements are made, the customer agrees to continue making timely tuition payments and will receive the corresponding time credit added to the end of their membership agreement.
