Coaching Policy
We want to keep things simple, transparent, and fair for everyone in the Ogging community. Below is how billing, pauses, and cancellations work for all coaching memberships.
Payments
- Coaching fees are billed monthly in advance via Direct Debit through GoCardless.
- Your first payment is prorated from your start date to the end of that month.
- Thereafter, all coaching memberships are billed on the 1st of each month for the upcoming month of coaching.
- You’ll receive an email notification before each payment is processed.
Cancellations
- You can cancel your coaching at any time by completing the pause/cancel form.
- Your coaching will continue until the end of the month you’ve already paid for.
- No further payments will be charged after cancellation takes effect.
- Mid-month cancellations are not refunded or prorated, as coaching access and support are allocated on a monthly basis.
Notice Period
- To ensure smooth processing, cancellation or pause requests must be submitted at least 7 days before the next billing date (the 1st of the month).
- Requests received within the final 7 days of the month will take effect from the following billing cycle.
Pausing Your Membership
If you need a break from coaching due to injury, illness, travel, or recovery, you can pause your membership at no cost.
How pauses work:
- Pauses apply to full calendar months only.
- Pauses cannot be applied retroactively or partway through a billing month.
- Once a month has been billed, it cannot be paused, credited, or adjusted.
- During a paused month:
- No coaching is delivered
- No payment is charged - Coaching automatically resumes on the agreed start date unless otherwise arranged.
Important:
We do not offer credits, partial refunds, or carry-forward adjustments for unused time within a billing month.
Race-Specific or Short-Term Coaching
Athletes preparing for a specific race or event should plan pauses or cancellations in advance of the billing date.
If your race falls early in a month and you no longer require coaching afterward:
- Please submit a pause or cancellation request at least 7 days before the next billing date.
- Requests made after a month has been billed will take effect from the following month.
To keep billing fair and consistent for all athletes, we do not offer pro-rata refunds or credits once a billing cycle has begun.
Failed Payments
- If a Direct Debit payment fails, our system will automatically retry.
- If payment cannot be processed, coaching access may be temporarily suspended until resolved.
- Please ensure your payment details remain up to date to avoid interruptions.
