Certain types of items cannot be returned, like perishable goods (such as food, flowers, or plants), custom products (such as special orders or personalized items), and personal care goods (such as beauty products).

Class Rescheduling for Insufficient Enrollment


At SAVAGE DIVING, we are committed to providing our clients with high-quality training programs and ensuring that each class is conducted with a sufficient number of participants. To ensure optimal learning experiences and resource utilization, this policy outlines the procedure for rescheduling a class in the event that we do not have a minimum of four divers signed up for the course.


Minimum Enrollment Requirement:
a. A class requires a minimum of four divers to be enrolled in order to proceed as scheduled.
b. The minimum enrollment requirement ensures effective interaction, group dynamics, and resource allocation for the best learning experience for our clients.

Class Rescheduling Procedure:
a. If the minimum enrollment requirement is not met, the class will be rescheduled to a later date.
b. The decision to reschedule a class will be made by [Designated Authority/Manager] or the Training Department, considering factors such as the impact on the learning environment and the feasibility of conducting the course with fewer participants.
c. Clients who are registered for the affected class will be promptly notified of the rescheduling and provided with alternative dates or options to transfer their enrollment to another class.

Communication and Notification:
a. Our Training Department will maintain open and transparent communication with clients regarding any changes to the course schedule due to insufficient enrollment.
b. Clients will be notified via email, phone, or any other designated communication channel about the rescheduling and provided with detailed information on the alternative dates or options available to them.
c. Efforts will be made to provide sufficient notice for rescheduling, minimizing any inconvenience caused to the clients.

Exceptions:
a. In exceptional circumstances where a class cannot be rescheduled due to logistical constraints or other factors, Ryan Rush will assess the situation and determine the most appropriate resolution, which may include offering alternative training options or refunds.
