Furthermore, Hall’s Taekwondo is not responsible for any lost or stolen items, or damage to property or vehicles.

Damage to Hall’s Taekwondo property must be paid for by any member who wilfully or negligently causes such damage. Members are responsible for damage caused by their guests or children.

Minors should always ask their parents or guardians for permission before providing any contact information to anyone online. We urge parents and guardians to participate in their children’s online activities and use parental control or other web filtering technology to supervise children’s access to the Internet.

All membership fees must be paid in full as agreed. Our staff are trained to explain to you the terms and conditions of our memberships, to ensure that you make an informed decision when joining Hall’s Taekwondo for your training needs. Membership fees are calculated over a 12-month period irrespective of holidays.

Hall’s Taekwondo offers two membership types — a Term Membership or a fortnightly Direct Debit Membership. Respectfully, practising members must be financial members.

Term memberships are available at discounted rates for either 6, 12 or 30 months. To qualify for the discount, new members must pay in full at the start of their membership period. When a Term Membership is renewed, discounts apply only when payment is made within 14 days of the renewal date. Family discounts do not apply to already discounted term memberships. There are no refunds for term memberships.

Direct Debit fortnightly memberships are calculated over a 12-month period irrespective of Centre closures. This membership type is pay-as-you-go and ongoing for a 12-month period. The only variation students can choose is a slightly higher priced 11-month option covering membership payments over 11-months not 12-months to avoid being debited during the four week Christmas/New Year holiday program period.

Payments are made via direct debit to your credit card, cheque or savings account. Changes to direct debit memberships can be made by you with at least 5 business days’ notice by filling out a Customer Request Form.This can be requested at reception or emailing us at Head Office: info@hallstaekwondo.com.au

Should a membership reject and incur a bank fee, that fee will be added to the member’s rejection amount.

Hall’s Taekwondo reserves the right to change direct debit payment providers with 14 days’ notice in the interests of adhering to the highest level of Australian Standards.

Your online subscription will start with a Virtual Intro for a fixed period of seven (7) days.

Virtual Intros are only available to new users and are at our sole discretion, and if you attempt to sign up for an additional Virtual Intro you will be immediately charged with the standard Fortnightly subscription fee.

We reserve the right to revoke your Virtual Intro at any time.

Unless you Opt Out before the end of the Virtual Intro period, your Intro will expire and you will be charged the Fortnightly Fee. To Opt Out please email info@hallstaekwondo.com.au from member's login email address, with online member's name and 'opt out' in the subject line.

Any unused portion of the Intro period will be forfeited upon purchase of a Fortnightly Membership.

Online memberships can be purchased directly from the Website and are managed and billed by us.

The online membership fee is recurring and will apply regardless of how much or how often you access or use your membership.

All Website purchases are processed securely via our third party payment gateway providers (eWay). You must refer to their terms and conditions for additional information.

All transactions are handled over SSL and are PCI-Compliant. We do not store your credit card details which will be stored by our third party payment gateway providers. They are encrypted and we cannot see them.

Payment must be made at the time of purchase and before you have access to your training.

Online memberships will be auto-renewed on the first day of your next billing period unless you expressly indicate to us you do not wish to renew.

You must notify us of any change to method of payment (credit card details).

We will assume your Payment Method is correct and will continue to bill Membership Fees and charges relating to your Membership. The recurring payment is not a contract. Members can cancel the recurring payment, at least 3 days before the date when their next payment is due.

Family discounts for immediate family members only of 5% per member apply to term and direct debit memberships paid by cash, cheque, EFTPOS or credit card (except American Express).

Family discounts apply to membership fees and gradings only. Family discounts do not apply to equipment costs or events.

Members can suspend (freeze) their Centre Membership for a minimum of 14 days, as long as their fee payments are up-to-date. Changes to direct debit memberships can be made by you with at least 5 business days’ notice by filling out a Customer Request Form. An administration fee of $5 per fortnight or $10 per month applies to suspended memberships, debited via an existing nominated account or paid upfront for term memberships.

Suspensions do not apply to online virtual memberships.

There is no need to suspend over the Christmas holiday period as our annual closure period has already been taken into account. Class payments are spread out evenly over a 12-month period. Please advise reception if you are going away for an extended period of time around Christmas and the time period beyond four weeks will be adjusted.

Membership start or renewal times are never backdated.

The Grading Syllabus explains how suspension may affect gradings.

Your email address is also used to activate Home Based Training and tell you about news and events.

Each Centre location member receives a non-transferable photo identification membership card. Your card will be issued within 14 days of you joining Hall’s Taekwondo.

We believe members should always act in ways that acknowledge pride in Hall’s Taekwondo and themselves. Hall’s Taekwondo members are expected to always use common sense and are regarded as being under the centre’s discipline when on the premises or at Hall’s Taekwondo functions.

• To maintain a comfortable atmosphere in the centre, and to allow members to train in a positive environment, we ask that members exhibit disciplined and responsible conduct
• Hall’s Taekwondo retains the right to discipline, suspend or dismiss any member from its Centres or Hubs, on the grounds of unsatisfactory conduct or performance of the member or the member's parent, or failure to observe any of our rules
• Take pride in your uniform by wearing it neatly and appropriately
• Always use common courtesy, good judgement and general good manners, which includes responding kindly and politely to the words and actions of other people

• Do not chew gum

Taekwondo is a close contact sport. We ask that members maintain high standards of personal hygiene and keep their fingernails and toenails clean and trimmed.

Members who take part in competitions or demonstration teams should also take extra care of their personal appearance, as they are seen as role models to a broad audience. They must set a good example, as the image they project portrays the reputation of Hall’s Taekwondo.

Hall’s Taekwondo staff may take photographs of students at times, in class or at events, which may be used on our website or social media sites.

Tell us if you don’t want your photograph taken or published.
