Payment, Refund and Cancellation Policies

These policies are strictly followed to ensure the highest quality of training and service. We will train regardless of global tensions or under any weather conditions we deem safe. Therefore we will not issue a refund on account of circumstances outside of our control. It is the student’s responsibility to stay informed and in contact with us prior to class and during class. We take reasonable steps via emails to keep the students informed of any changes or last minute updates. Students are encouraged to check their emails often, we are not responsible for failed communications such as, but not limited to junk inboxes, failed connections or bad emails.

  • Registration fees must be paid in full to guarantee students seats; which includes a $150.00 non-refundable deposit (NRD). The non-refundable deposit is used to compensate for the time, money and effort to promote and market the class. We spend much of our time filling each class through paid advertisements, direct marketing and social media campaigns and as such must recoup these losses. 
  • Any changes to student status must be communicated to our staff via email at: [email protected]
    • Speaking with personal by phone or other means does not qualify as an official notice.

Safety

Trident Concepts, LLC reserves the right to remove and if necessary eject from training any student who represents a danger to themself or the class. Failing to follow staff instructions, safety rules, class protocol or conduct deemed unsafe or unbecoming will result in the immediate removal. In certain circumstances, students may be placed on an administrative hold pending a review of their actions or inaction before returning to class. Students who are ejected from training will be asked to leave immediately. Trident Concepts follows an Operational Risk Management (ORM) policy regarding safe training practices and student:instructor ratios. Each evolution is evaluated, hazards identified and assessed with controls implemented to ensure the safest training possible. Some controls may include students being pulled from evolutions beyond their skill and capability and are at the sole discretion of the staff.

Range Fees

Effective January 1, 2003 all students and hosts are responsible for paying range fees. Range fees will be collected by a representative of the range facility on TD1. We are forced to do this in order to keep our class registration price the same. The alternative would be to raise our class registration prices to compensate for range fees. This seems unfair since range fees vary and we don’t want everyone to be affected by a blanket registration price increase. In general range fees are approximately $30 per day (some locations are subject to higher or lower fees). Range fees must be paid before any students or host may participate in training.

Logistics Advisory

Please be aware that airline logistics and other modes of mass transportation are becoming very time consuming and difficult, so please plan accordingly. We are not responsible for logistical mishaps, such as but not limited to missed flights, inclement weather, mechanical problems or late departures. You have our sympathy, but regrettably we cannot do anything with regards to refunds. We can only issue a credit voucher valid for eighteen (18) months from the original class date. The credit voucher is good for the class registration fee minus the NRD and is not transferable to anyone other than the listed party. Any balance owed for the rescheduled class must be paid in full in advance to reserve your seat and is a one time use.

Communications

Communicating with our customers and clients is an essential part of our services. Our staff routinely travels throughout the country to provide world class training. As a result, we have established a policy to respond to customer’s general inquiries within 24-hours on the weekdays and 72-hours on the weekends. If the situation is an emergency will will make every effort to respond as quickly as possible. Most requests from customers are easily addressed through the various resources available on our website. For customers who do not take advantage of these resources or still have questions we will do our level best to provide a timely response. Please be aware that situations that cannot be resolved through the various resources on our website may take longer. This is largely due to the travel status affecting our own internal communication. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
