Terms & Conditions

Kassia Portas (referred to as “Kassia Portas” and “The Pole Dancing Therapist”) agrees to provide physical and educational training (hereafter referred to as “Content”) outlined in the membership benefits and the pay per class shop. The “Website” refers to the content available on onlinepoleclass.com

You agree to abide by all terms and conditions outlined in this agreement as a condition of purchasing any Content from the Website.

General Information
The content available via the Pay Per Class Shop may be purchased without being a registered member of the Website.

You are permitted to view limited portions of the Website prior to deciding whether to become a registered member.

Full access to the Website is available to you when you register as a member. If you wish to become a registered user, you must register on the website by completing the registration procedures displayed on here.

Requirements for Becoming a Registered Member
By completing the registration procedures, you acknowledge and agree to providing true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form. You are obliged to maintain and promptly update your registration data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future access the Website.

Payment Methods and Conditions Payments are taken via ‘Stripe’ which requires your credit or debit card details. There is no minimum term contract on monthly or yearly Memberships.

There is one 7 day free trial per account made. Only one 7 day trial is permitted per account.

You can cancel a membership at any time and access will remain until the end of that billing period. If you choose to cancel your membership, access to all content will be lost after the billing period is complete.

You do not require a member ship to make one-time purchases in the Pay Per Class Shop.

Prices may be changed at any time; however, your membership will remain at the same price you agreed to at the point of purchase. If you decide to cancel and re-join at a later date, you will be charged the updated price.

If you decide to upgrade to a higher priced membership then you will be charged for the difference.

Should billing fail, the website system will attempt to take payment again until the payment is successful. An email will be sent with this information. If it continues to fail, membership will be revoked and you will access to all membership content.

Automatic Renewal
Both the monthly and annual options will automatically renew on your sign up date. You will be charged on the renewal date, therefore cancellations must be processed before the renewal date if you do not wish to be charged for another billing period.

Refunds PolicyThere are no full or partial refunds once your payment has been received for both memberships and one-time purchases.

If you wish to cancel a membership, you must do so before the next payment is due to avoid being charged.

Service interruptionsWhile Kassia Portas makes every effort to provide consistent uninterrupted service, there is no guarantee on specific availability. Service interruptions may occur from time to time due to webiste updates, hosting issues, outages, or service issues. When found, the Kassia Portas will work with the website development team to restore access as quickly as possible, but make no guarantees as to time, speed, or availability.

Newsletter via MailchimpWhen you become a member you will automatically be added to the mailing list to receive information about your membership or other services. You can unsubscribe via the links in the bottom of the email.
