Anyone with a medical condition, injury, physical limitation, or health concern should consult an appropriate healthcare professional before beginning or continuing a physical activity program.

- Participant or parent information.
- Emergency contact information.
- Studio rules and policies.
- Assumption-of-risk or liability-release documents.
- Event-specific registration requirements.

Classes, camps, tournaments, events, vendor spaces, merchandise, and other SSTKD offerings may be subject to eligibility requirements, age requirements, capacity limits, registration deadlines, instructor approval, availability, and additional terms.
Submission of an inquiry, registration form, or payment does not guarantee acceptance when:
- The program or event has reached capacity.
- The participant does not meet the stated requirements.
- Required information or documentation is incomplete.
- The payment is declined, reversed, or incomplete.
- The offering is modified, postponed, or canceled.

Prices, deadlines, refund terms, and other transaction details displayed on the relevant registration page or payment page apply to that specific purchase.
