Welcome
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the website thegrovenyc.org (the “Site”) and your participation in classes, workshops, and community excursions offered by The Grove, a program of Big Apple Coaching LLC (“Big Apple Coaching,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using this Site or registering for a class, you agree to these Terms.
About The Grove
The Grove is a community classes and workshops program operated by Big Apple Coaching LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of New York. Our classes are open to the public and are not credit-bearing academic courses.
Registration & Enrollment
All classes require registration in advance. We do not accept walk-ins or unregistered participants. Registration is confirmed only after we receive your completed registration form and, if paying directly, your payment has been processed.
Class sizes are limited. We reserve the right to close registration when a class reaches capacity. We may also cancel or reschedule a class due to low enrollment, instructor availability, or other circumstances. In such cases, registered participants will be notified and offered a full refund or the option to transfer to another class or session.
Eligibility
Our classes are open to the public. Certain classes may have age recommendations or other guidelines noted in the class description. By registering, you confirm that you (or the person you are registering) meet any stated eligibility criteria.
Payment
We accept payment via credit or debit card processed through Stripe. Payment is due at the time of registration unless alternative arrangements have been made.
Monthly Pass: A monthly pass covers four (4) class sessions within a single calendar month. Monthly passes are non-transferable and unused sessions do not roll over to the following month.
Fiscal Intermediary Billing: For participants using a Self-Direction budget under the OPWDD Individual Directed Goods and Services (IDGS) program, we offer the option to bill a fiscal intermediary directly. If you select this option during registration, we will contact you to arrange billing. Registration is not confirmed until billing arrangements are finalized.
All published rates are per person, per session, and are publicly available on our website.
Class Conduct
We are committed to maintaining a welcoming, respectful, and safe learning environment. Participants are expected to treat fellow participants, instructors, and staff with courtesy and respect. We reserve the right to remove any participant whose behavior is disruptive, threatening, or inconsistent with a safe and respectful learning environment. In such cases, refunds will be issued at our discretion.
Community Excursions
Certain classes include community excursions to museums, cultural institutions, and other locations throughout New York City. Participation in community excursions is voluntary. Participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from excursion sites unless otherwise communicated. Any admission fees or costs associated with excursion sites are included in the class fee unless otherwise noted in the class description.
