BOOKINGS & FEES

TFX cannot be held responsible for classes cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control – i.e. weather, fire, pandemics etc. Such cancellations will not be refunded. In the unlikely event that any TFX classes or events need to be cancelled or changed due to unforeseen circumstances, TFX will endeavour to provide an alternative.

If TFX cannot provide an alternative, a full credit will be given. This will be at the discretion of TFX and its principals.

If any format of alternative has been offered, a credit will NOT be given.
