Agreement between Participant and San Diego Mommy & Me
Welcome to San Diego Mommy & Me (SDMM). The www.sdmommyandme.com website (the “Site”), Renata Cameron (RC), and SDMM group services are available to Participants conditioned on their acceptance without modification of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein (the “Terms and Policies”). An individual’s use of Site or purchase of the SDMM group series constitutes their agreement to all such Terms and Policies.
Please read these terms carefully, and keep a copy of them for your reference.
www.sdmommyande.com is an E-Commerce Site. This website is used to process registrations for mommy and me discussion groups and host SDMM related content.
Cancellation/Refund Policy
You may cancel or postpone your group registration prior to your group series commencement. In order to be eligible for a refund, I require at least 5 days’ notice prior to the start date of group. If you provide less than 5 days’ notice, you will still receive a refund IF your spot is filled by a waitlisted participant. Please note, 3rd party transaction fees may not be refundable. Once your class series has begun, you are no longer eligible for a refund. However, Renata Cameron (RC) will work with you to resolve any issues and identify a mutual solution. Group postponement is dependent on available space.
Attendance Policy
San Diego Mommy and Me (SDMM) groups are considered “closed groups.” Meaning, you end with who you start with. This formate greatly benefits the group experience. For that reason, SDMM groups are sold as a packaged service. Participants cannot purchase a single class, nor is reimbursement offered for classes they are unable to attend.
That said, for one reason or another, it is super common to have to miss a class or two. Luckily, this does not affect the overall impact or experience.
Class Cancelation Policy
In the rare event that a class is canceled due to illness or a personal emergency, your group series will be extended by a week to make up for the missed day. Should two classes need to be rescheduled, the second makeup class will not fall on the same date or time as the official group series or will be offered virtually. If unforeseen circumstances prevent the extension or rescheduling of a canceled class(es), participants will be provided with access to the canceled class(es)’ curriculum and the above cancellation/refund policy will be enforced.
No Sick Policy
To best protect the health and wellness of participants and their little ones, SDMM requires all participants to follow a “no sick” policy.

COVID-19 Refund Policy
If, for any reason outside of SDMM’s control, SDMM must cease holding in-person classes, all current, in-session classes will move to an online format when applicable. In this case, the cancellation/refund policy will be enforced.
