Refund/Cancellation/Switching Classes Policy

---

We are the only motorcycle school in NJ that offers refunds. Here is our Refund Policy; 

1. If you are counseled out of the BRC1*practice riding exercises, we will refund you $100. 

2. If you are dismissed from a BRC1 class for being more than 15 minutes late, or for not having all the proper riding gear as outlined on the BRC1 course webpage, or for any other reason, we will refund you $100. No exceptions.

3. If you drop out of a BRC1 class that is already in session or do not show up for a BRC1 class or a segment of the class for whatever reason, we will refund you $100. No exceptions.

4. If you do not show up for a BRC2, TBC or APBRC class for whatever reason, or if you are dismissed from the BRC2, TBC or APBRC for not having all the proper riding gear as outlined on that course's webpage, we will refund you $50. No exceptions.

5. If we have to cancel a class or a segment of the class, we will either refund all your money, or put you in another class for free if there is an opening, or if possible, offer a make-up class segment for free. (Weather conditions may be adverse, sometimes MSU plans a last minute event). 

6. Refunds can only be made through your original payment method.

1. If you decide to cancel your class reservation at least 10 business days before the start of your scheduled class, we will refund all your money.
2. If you decide to cancel your class reservation less than 10 business days and more than 3 business days before the start of your scheduled class, a $50 cancellation fee will be deducted from your refund. No exceptions.
3. If you decide to cancel your class reservation 3 business days or less than 3 business days before the start of your scheduled class, we will refund you 50% of the course price. No exceptions.

All cancellation requests must be made in writing via email for verification purposes to RidingAcademy1@aol.com.

For the BRC1, the riding sessions must be taken on the two consecutive days for the class. You can't do one riding session on one day of the class and the other riding session on another day of another class unless you pay the full course price for both classes.

We reserve the right to cancel a class at any time due to adverse weather conditions, unforeseen circumstances, low enrollment or last-minute events scheduled by MSU. 

RAIN

Classes are conducted rain or shine. If rain is in the forecast for the class you registered for, bring rain gear (jacket, pants, latex gloves).

If there is lightening and/or thunder during a practice riding exercise, we stop the exercise and tell you to go to your car until the lightening and/or thunder pass.

We reserve the right to counsel out (remove) a student from a class if they are struggling, not able to keep up with the pace of the class, didn't meet the objective of a riding exercise within the time frame allotted for the exercise or are a safety hazard to themselves or others in the class. If the student wants to continue to learn how to ride, they can take an Introductory Motorcycle Experience (IME) session for $75, which is a private one-on-one lesson for approximately 1-1 1/2 hours to get comfortable using the clutch & throttle or a Formal Remedial Training (FRT) session for $99, which is a private one-on-one lesson for approximately 2 hours to help the student meet the objectives of the first few exercises of the BRC1 and become more comfortable riding a motorcycle. After successfully completing the IME or the FRT, the student can retake the BRC1 for a reduce price ($100 off the regular price of the course).

1. If you want to switch/reschedule your BRC1 class reservation to another class at least 10 business days before the start of your scheduled class, you are entitled to one free transfer. You must notify us by email at least 10 business days before the start of your scheduled class. We will switch you if a seat is available in another class. There is a $50 transfer fee for additional switches.
2. If you want to switch/reschedule your BRC1 class reservation to another class less than 10 business days and more than 3 business days before the start of your scheduled class, there is a $50 transfer fee. No exceptions. You must notify us by email more than 3 business days before the start of your scheduled class. We will switch you if a seat is available in another class.
3. No switching/rescheduling is allowed 3 business days or less than 3 business days before the start of your scheduled BRC1 class. If you can't attend your scheduled class, we will refund you 50% of the course price. No exceptions.
4. No switching/rescheduling is allowed for the BRC2, the TBC or the APBRC.

All switching/rescheduling requests must be made in writing via email for verification purposes to RidingAcademy1@aol.com.

Our Refund/Cancellation/Switching Classes policies are very strict because we do not want to lose money on a class. Since we offer more benefits and features than all the other motorcycle schools in NJ, we run on a very small profit margin and cannot afford to lose money. If you miss a class, can't make a class or arrive too late to attend a class, we can't just put you in another class. That's like buying two seats (one seat in each class) for the price of one seat. 

If you have tickets to a sports game or concert and can't make the event for whatever reason, you don't get to go to another game or concert for free.

We lose money on last minute cancellation/rescheduling requests because we lose the ability to sell that seat to someone else on such short notice, and we lose money on the class. 

You can write off your loss as a tax-deductible donation.
