The datas we obtain are for internal purpose of the company only. They will be used for mailing lists, contact in the frame of our activity (improvised theatre).

In the context of classes, by subscribing to classes with Flock Theatre, you accept for your full name, your email address as well as your phone number to be shared with the rest of the group of students in the case of group emails, group messages, etc.

This is valid for the duration of the course you subscribed for and one year later.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Payment conditions

Payment methods

For the classes and shows, payments can be made by different means:
– iDeal.
– Card via Stripe.
– Bank transfer, on demand. For EU residents, with a EU bank account. Potential additional fees are the responsibility of the customer.
– Tikkie transfer, on demand and when buying directly at shows. For holders of a Dutch bank account. Potential additional fees are the responsibility of the customer.
– Cash payments are discouraged but not impossible (In which case a receipt will be emitted).

The payment of an entire course is due before the beginning of the session. A trial class is possible for new students after subscription to their first class at Flock Theatre: after the opening lesson of the course, if a student attended said lesson and requests a cancellation within 3 days, the entirety of the course will be refunded without questions. The organisation has the right to refuse entry to any customer in default of payment.

Terms of sales

Taxes

The prices displayed on this website include the VAT for services (21% for workshops and courses, 9% for shows).

Default and delay of payment

Any default of payment is exposed to an action in justice in order to recover the due amount. In case of default of payment, a first reminder will be sent, followed by a second reminder assorted to a fee of 20% added to the total.

21 days after the second reminder, an official action will be intended to recover the funds by a third part organism.

Refund policy

In case of cancellation of the entire course, show, event by the organiser, the participant will be offered a choice of:
– An entire refund of the full price—at the exception of the fees engaged by the payment method.
– The possibility to donate part or all of the fee to the Scholarship Program of Flock Theatre.
– The possibility to obtain a voucher for another event—course, workshop—that same semester.

Participants to a show can request the cancellation of their booking up to 7 days before the event, for which a refund will be proceeded. Between 7 days and 48h prior the event, a voucher for a further event will be offered. Less than 48h before the event, no refund will be accepted.

Students that wish to cancel their subscription to a course or a workshop can request a refund following the conditions below:
– Up to 4 weeks before the start of the course: full refund
– Up to 2 weeks before the start of the course: 50% of the fee refunded
– 2 weeks or less before the start of the course: no refund

For a course or a workshop, no refund, pro-rata refund or partial price will be accepted for classes missed or cancellations during the period of the activity.

Exception to the refund policy – Unrevealed events

Some events—workshops, courses, shows—are advertised as ‘Unrevealed’ for a time, meaning that a discount is applicable when booking said event early and without knowledge of its content.

Given the nature of this operation, no refund will be provided for tickets bought ‘Unrevealed’. Unrevealed tickets are non-transferrable to another person than the original customer.

In case of force majeur, contact Flock Theatre directly.

Payments in multiple instalments and memberships

Some courses and workshops are offered with the possibility of multiple instalments. The conditions of sales for these facility of payment are the following:
– Payment is always due in full, even if the entirety of the event is not enjoyed. This concerns participants that would not attend—or not attend fully—a workshop, interrupt a course or stop attending it, not subscribe for a period of the season, face their preferred course being full, etc.
– Instalment deadlines will be reminded by email, and a reminder of the amount already paid as well as what is left is automatically sent. In case of delay in the payment, Flock Theatre will send a manual reminder, after which access to the course, workshop or show will be denied.
– Memberships are established for a full season, running from the date of subscription to the following Summer—31st of July. In case of interruption of the membership, the remainder of the total amount will be invoiced and is due to Flock Theatre.

Scholarships and facility of payment

It is possible to fill in a request for a facility of payment in multiple times, as well as for a scholarship (partial or total). You can read more about it on our Scholarships page. If you think you are at a point in your life where you cannot afford the above payment conditions, contact us explaining how we can help and your request at: contact -at- flock-theatre.com

Flock Theatre is a place where we want to welcome everyone and work in the direction of inclusiveness and diversity. We believe that nothing should hold up someone from accessing to their passion, and that as a community we should work in a direction that makes it possible for all. This is also why we accept donations to support the scholarship system we put in place. If you would like to donate or support us in this task, you can read more about it here.
