Terms and conditions
Monthly Playground Saturday Clown Class
Payment & Registration
Payment must be completed before class to secure your spot.
By registering, you’re committing to your chosen plan (Drop-in, Monthly, Quarterly, or Annual).
Refunds, Absences & Vouchers
Life is unpredictable. Clowning is predictable: no refunds. Instead, we offer limited vouchers depending on your plan.
Drop-in ($120)
Cancel 7+ days before = refund minus 10% admin fee.
Cancel within 7 days = credit toward another Monthly Playground class within the same year.
Monthly ($85), Quarterly ($240), Annual ($900)
No refunds, no rollovers, no transferring payments.
With 7 days’ notice, you may miss up to 1 class per year (Jan–Dec) and receive a $70 Clown Institute voucher.
Vouchers can be used toward future classes or workshops.
Vouchers are non-transferable, non-cash, and expire 31 March of the following year.
No-shows without notice = no voucher.
Class Schedule
Sometimes life throws in a surprise. We may adjust class dates or times, but you’ll always be notified ASAP.
Community Over Commodity
The Playground thrives when we all show up. By joining, you’re not buying a gym-style membership; you’re joining a community of glorious idiots. These rules keep it fun, fair, and sustainable for everyone.
Behaviour and Conduct
Let's keep it friendly! Act professionally and treat your fellow participants with respect. Any disruptions might result in a gentle exit – sans refund.
Copyright and Intellectual Property
Our secrets are top-secret! No reproducing, distributing, or sharing course materials or show ideas without our or a participant's written blessing.
Liability and Insurance
Have fun responsibly! We're not responsible for your misplaced funny hats, drink bottles or any mishaps during class.
Communication
We'll drop you an email or send messages via other communication channels. Keep your contact info up to date for all the laughs.
Termination of Enrolment
If someone starts messing with the rules, we reserve the right to show them the exit. No refund will be given for that class, and for future classes it is subject to clause 2.
Photography
Say cheese! I might snap a pic or two for the archives. Not a fan of the limelight? Let me know, and I'll keep you in the shadows.
Governing Law
These terms are as solid as a handshake and are ruled by the laws of New South Wales.

Payment and Registration
All participants, ready for a dose of laughter, must complete registration with full payment before stepping into the world of nonsense.
Billing, Cancellation and Refund Policy
Life is full of surprises, and I’m cool with that! If you've waltzed into our class and need to cancel, we've got options for you based on the payment path you've chosen.
If you need to cancel the workshop, you've got some options. i) Cancel up to 7 days before the workshop starts, and we'll gladly issue a full refund (minus a 10% non-refundable amount). ii) If it's within 7 days of the workshop, no worries, we can offer you workshop credits that you can use for other workshops or private training within a year. iii) In lieu of a refund, you can also transfer your spot to someone else. Submit the refund request in writing within 7 days of the workshop commencing.
Class Schedule and Changes
Like life, sometimes schedules need a little shake-up. We might switch things around, but promise to keep you in the loop ASAP. The Clown Institute reserves the right to cancel a workshop if the minimum enrollment is not met. Participants will be notified at least 5 days before the scheduled workshop date. In the event that The Clown Institute cancels a workshop, all registered participants will receive a full refund of the registration fee.
