Cancellation

• If DPR cancels an activity or class, the fee will be refunded the participant's credit or debit card used. Refunds under $5.00 will be credited to the customer’s RecTrac Account.

• DPR reserves the right to cancel an activity/class after one session for insufficient enrollment.

• Participant cancellations are not available online.

• There is a 10 percent cancellation fee for all classes. Once a class begins, refunds are no longer issued.

 

Refund

• Credit card or debit card refunds are processed, returning fees to the participant's card account.

• Customers who paid for a class with a check or money order will receive a refund check.

• Customers will be charged a 10% fee on all refunds except when the refund is due to a cancellation of a class or other related DPR change. The refund request must be made 48 hours before the class begins.

• No refunds are made after the first game for a sports activity.

• Some activities have a NO REFUND policy. Please refer to the written activity or course description to determine if this policy is in effect.

 

Fitness Centers

  • Fitness center memberships are non-refundable and non-tranferable.

 

DPR's policy allows for credit to a participant's DPR account if after attending the first day of an activity or class, the participant is not completely satisfied and notifies DPR within two days after attending. The credit will be applied to any other class/activity within one year from the date of issue. This policy does not apply to missed classes/activities, facility rentals, adult sports leagues, sporting events, and transportation costs to entertainment.
