Waivers & cancellation policies

Waivers signed and rules agreed, before anyone pays.

Add a waiver to a class and every participant signs it. Customers see your cancellation policy before they pay, and when someone cancels, it works out the refund for you. Nobody gets a surprise later.

Best for: studios that are done with clipboard waivers at the door and arguments over late cancellations.

What it solves

No more paper forms or refund arguments.

Paper waivers on a clipboard get lost, go unsigned, or end up with the wrong name on them. Cancellation rules that live in your head, or only in a confirmation email, turn every late cancellation into a negotiation.

FullClass puts both into the booking itself. The person booking signs your waiver before checkout finishes, and anyone else on the booking gets an email with a link to sign. Customers see your cancellation policy before they pay, so when someone cancels, the policy decides the refund, not a back-and-forth over email.

How a refund is decided

It depends how much notice they give.

You set the cutoffs in hours before class. For example, a full refund with two days' notice, half back the day before, and nothing after that. One policy covers your whole studio, so the rules are the same whatever someone books.

The cancellation email tells the customer which rule applied.

What you get

Every signature on file, every refund explained.

  • Change the wording any time. Each update is a new version. Older versions stay viewable, and every signature stays tied to the exact text that person saw.
  • Set it once per class. Add a waiver to a class and customers see it when they book any session of it.
  • Signed before they pay. The person booking signs for themselves if they're taking part, and as parent or guardian for their own children. Checkout won't finish until they do.
  • Everyone else gets a link. Each person on a booking is named. Other adults, and the parent or guardian of another family's child, are emailed a link to sign, with one reminder before class. You can see on the booking who has signed.
  • Proof of who signed. Each signature records who signed and when, the name they typed, which version they saw, and their IP address and browser.
  • Your own wording. You write the waiver, so have a lawyer look it over. FullClass doesn't give legal advice.
  • One policy for the whole studio. Set your cancellation rules once and they cover every class and course.
  • Refunds that depend on notice. A full refund, part of it back, or nothing, depending on how many hours before class they cancel.
  • Gift card money goes back on the gift card. If someone paid partly with a gift card and cancels, that part goes back on the card and the rest goes back the way they paid.
  • Rules shown up front. Customers see your cancellation policy before they pay, so nobody can say they didn't know.
How it works

From signature to refund.

1

Attach a waiver, set a policy

Write your waiver and add it to a class, and every session uses it. Set your cancellation rules once for the whole studio.

2

Customers read and sign

When they book, customers see your cancellation policy and sign the waiver before they can pay.

3

They cancel, the policy decides

If your policy lets customers cancel online, they cancel from their bookings page and the policy works out the refund.

4

Or you cancel it for them

You or your team can cancel a booking with a full, partial or custom refund. The cancellation email tells the customer which rule applied.

Let customers cancel themselves, if you want them to.

Turn on online cancellation in your policy and customers cancel from the passwordless customer portal. The policy decides the refund and it's recorded, with no email thread and no doing the math yourself.
