Refunds

If we have to cancel or make significant changes to a class that prevents you from attending, we will either refund your full payment or transfer your registration to another class, your choice.
Requests for a refund are handled on a case-by-case basis, but are rare given our costs, such as reservations and rentals. We'll accommodate your request if we can, but it's best to assume that there are no refunds.

Minimum Class Sizes

In some cases, we may require a minimum number of students before running a class. If the minimum number is not met, we will contact you at least one week in advance and either transfer your registration to the same class on a different date or issue you a full refund, whichever you prefer.

Safety

For the safety of everyone involved, 6:11 Defense reserves the right to dismiss, without refund, anyone from the class if they demonstrate, at our sole discretion, reckless behavior with a firearm or willfully ignore the directions of the instructor.

Liability Waiver
