4.9 The Client will be given the opportunity to explicitly agree to waive the right to withdrawal as per Section 4.8.

The remainder of the amount shall be refunded to the Client.

4.12 Any individual sessions booked outside the context of a Program are subject to the same terms and conditions as those within a Program.
