7. MEMBERSHIP, BILLING AND PAYMENT POLICIES

TUITION AND AUTO-BILLING

Membership tuition is billed automatically on a recurring basis. By enrolling, you authorize these charges until you cancel according to this policy.

New members may receive a 7-day free trial. A valid payment method is required at registration but is not charged during the trial.
You may cancel at any time during the trial by emailing [email protected] before it ends, and you will not be charged.
If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your membership begins automatically: your first monthly tuition is charged at the end of the trial, and tuition renews each month on that date until you cancel.
You are charged full monthly tuition each billing date whether or not you attend, with no refunds or credits for missed classes or breaks.
All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
A $35 fee applies to any insufficient or declined payment.
Late or failed payments may result in suspension of access to training.

CANCELLATIONS

Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing, emailed to [email protected].

Cancellations and suspensions require at least 14 days' written notice before your next billing date.
Without timely notice, the next month's tuition may be charged before cancellation takes effect.
Tuition already processed is non-refundable, and partial months are not refunded or credited on cancellation.
Full membership and payment terms are set out in the signed CKK Registration Agreement, Waiver, and Release of Liability, which controls in any conflict.

TESTING AND EVENT FEES

Grading, tournament, seminar, and event fees are separate from tuition and are non-refundable once registration closes or materials are ordered.
