– Membership Terms and Conditions

Membership is granted upon completion of the relevant application form and payment of the membership fee as stated on the application page for your membership type. Private students without fixed membership are also required to accept the T&C.
Memberships are rolling; a minimum notice of 40 days is required to cancel (see Cancellation below).
By submitting your application, you confirm you have read and agree to these terms and conditions.

Membership fees are payable as detailed on the application form. Non-payment of fees may result in the account being sent to a debt collection agency and/or suspension of membership.
Any extra seminars or personal training may incur additional charges, which may be reduced for current members.

Membership is a continuous rolling contract. To cancel, you must submit your request via the official web link: https://missinglinkmartialarts.org/leave.
Cancellations require a minimum notice period of 40 days prior to your next renewal date, meaning at least one additional monthly payment will be due after your request.

Members agree to uphold the standards of the dojo, including:
- Acting respectfully and kindly toward others.
- Refraining from aggressive or unsafe conduct on or off the premises.
- Practicing good personal hygiene (clean attire, nails, personal care).
- Recognizing that martial arts involve contact and carry inherent risk of minor injuries. Training is at your own risk.
- Valuables and belongings are your responsibility; the dojo is not liable for lost or stolen items.
Persistent breaches of the dojo code, bullying, or behaviour posing risk to others may result in temporary or permanent suspension without refund.
