General Terms and Conditions of Membership – Dansschool Bellyssima
Membership and Contribution
- General: Membership grants the right to attend belly dance classes at the chosen time and location. During school holidays, there are generally no classes, except in specific cases. There is a summer break of one month; in August, no membership fees are collected. The holiday dates can be found at the bottom of our class schedule page. Missing classes does not affect the contribution, as it is based on an annual fee (explanation: some months may have five lesson weeks instead of four).
- Membership Periods: The membership duration varies depending on the selected package. After the initial period, membership is automatically renewed for the same term unless canceled in time.
- Contribution Payment: The membership fee is always collected via direct debit on a monthly basis. A €5 administration fee will be charged for failed direct debits—these costs are imposed by our payment processing partner, not by the dance school itself. Outstanding payments must be settled within seven days, but no later than the end of the month. If payments are overdue by more than one month, access to classes may be denied, and the total remaining amount of the agreement becomes immediately payable. If the amount remains unpaid, it will be forwarded to our collection agency in Rotterdam, including interest costs.
- Contact Information: Changes to personal details must be communicated via ledenadministratie@dansschoolbellyssima.nl.

With timely cancellation, the missed class can be made up on another day and location within the membership period. Make-up classes are not converted into additional lessons or credits upon termination of the membership.
