Oakville policies, in plain terms.
The registration, payment, cancellation and safety terms that apply to classes and camps at Zebra Robotics Oakville. These are set by this lab and differ by location — the same terms you accept at checkout.

Emergency Medical Release
In the event of injury or severe illness, I permit the Zebra Robotics staff to obtain medical treatment for my child. I understand that if my child needs to be transported to an emergency facility, that decision will be made by the emergency team responding to the call.
Media Release
I give my permission for Zebra Robotics, to record, film, photograph, audiotape, or videotape me/my child's image, student work, and performance (hereinafter collectively referred to as 'Works') and to display, publish, or distribute these Works for the purpose of publishing, advertising, posting on the Zebra Robotics website, posting in our facility, and posting on social media sites as determined by Zebra Robotics.
Recurring Payment Policy for Regular Classes
The recurring monthly fees will be debited within the first few days of the month and are non-refundable once processed. If there is a change in payment info or cancel the draft, please inform us 7-10 days before the payment is processed. All returned/bounced fees will carry a $25 service charge.
The fees remain the same each month for regular classes based on the enrolled course. The fee will not be prorated for shorter months (3 classes/month) as it will get compensated with extra classes in some months. We do not prorate, credit, or refund fees for missed classes.
There are three methods of recurring payment:
(1) Pre-authorized credit card payment: The fees will be automatically debited from the card on file.
(2) Post-dated cheque: If you prefer to pay by cheque, please write post-dated cheques for 6 months. Please stop by the first day of class to drop off the cheques. In case of withdrawal from a program (please see withdrawal policy), we will return the cheques/stop payment for unattended months.
(3) Drop in or call to set up the payment.

Cancellation or Withdrawal Policy
We understand plans change and that you may need to cancel a program. Our cancellation policy is as follows:
Regular Classes: You can withdraw your child any time with one month notice from the first of the month. Withdrawal must be done by filling out a withdrawal/cancellation form.
Camps: Up to 3 weeks before the program's start date, the full fee minus $50 (admin fee) will be refunded. No refunds will be issued if cancelled within three weeks of the camp.

Missed Class or Make-up Policy
We understand plans change, but we strongly advise students against missing classes.
Regular Classes: Make-up classes must be scheduled at the front desk before the day of the class. Drop-ins are not permitted. We offer two make-up classes per quarter. Make-ups will be provided only if we are notified beforehand. No make-up session will be provided for missed make-up classes.
Camps: Unfortunately, we will not offer make-up sessions for camps.

Switching schedule
To ensure that students get the most from the Zebra Robotics streams, we will not allow more than one permanent class switch per school year (between Sep-June). Coaches may vary by class, making it hard for both students and coaches to adapt.
Late Pick-Up Policy
Due to availability, it is difficult for us to accommodate unexpected late pick-ups. If you are running late, please call our center to let us know!
Extreme Weather or Unexpected Interruption of Classes
For weather-related closures or delays, please check your email, our Facebook page for day-of updates, or give us a call. We do not provide refunds for classes missed due to these reasons.
Regular Classes: A make-up session will be offered if we cancel a class due to extreme weather or events beyond our control, such as power outages. Please check with the front desk admin to schedule make-up classes.
Camps: Unfortunately, we will not offer make-up sessions for camps.

Virtual Classes
Virtual classes are conducted using Zoom for the specified duration depending on the program, and students are expected to attend class on time. Proactive notification about absence helps our team to plan better. You will require a laptop. Headset and mouse are preferable.
Note: Some applications will not work on Chromebooks. Please give us a call to discuss the specifics.
