Playce Academy is a youth movement academy operated by Kinetic Codex LLC d/b/a Playce Academy, a Florida limited liability company ("Playce Academy," "we," "us," or "our"). We offer parkour, natural-movement, and physical-education classes for children in the Tampa, Florida area, and we operate the Playce Academy website and family app (together, the "Service") to let parents and legal guardians enroll their children, manage their family account, and pay tuition.
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are an agreement between you — a parent or legal guardian enrolling a child ("you," the "Parent") — and Kinetic Codex LLC. By creating a family account, enrolling a child, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
You must be at least 18 years old and the parent or legal guardian of the child you enroll (or otherwise authorized by that child's parent or legal guardian) to use the Service. The Service is designed for adults; children do not create accounts or log in, and all information about a child is entered and managed by the responsible adult.
When you enroll a child, you reserve a place in a class based on available capacity. Enrollment is offered subject to our schedule, class capacity, and any age or ability guidelines for the class. We may offer trial classes, waitlists, and make-up credits; the availability and terms of these are described in the app and may change over time.
You are responsible for keeping your family account information accurate, including your child's name, date of birth, and any medical, allergy, or emergency information relevant to safe participation. Participation in classes also requires a signed liability release and parental consent (the "Waiver"), which is presented separately during enrollment and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
We may reschedule, relocate, combine, or cancel classes — for example, for weather, facility, safety, staffing, or low-enrollment reasons. Where a class we cancel is not made up, we will provide a make-up credit or an adjustment to tuition as described in Section 4.
Enrollment is paid through monthly tuition for each enrolled child, plus any applicable one-time registration fee. Current tuition rates, registration fees, and any discounts are shown in the app at the time of enrollment.
Scholarship (Step Up / EMA) families. If your child's tuition is paid through an approved scholarship program such as Step Up For Students or another Education Marketplace Assistance ("EMA") arrangement, that tuition is handled through the scholarship marketplace, not our card-billing engine. Scholarship families are not charged by card for covered tuition. You remain responsible for any registration fee, add-on, or balance not covered by the scholarship.
You authorize us to charge the payment method on file for tuition, registration fees, and other amounts you incur (such as event or add-on fees you sign up for). If a payment fails, we may retry the charge and may pause enrollment for accounts that remain past due. We will give you reasonable notice of any change to standard tuition rates before it applies to your account.
You may withdraw your child from classes at any time through the app or by contacting us. Withdrawal stops future monthly tuition; to avoid being billed for an upcoming cycle, please withdraw before that cycle's billing day. Tuition already billed for a cycle that has begun is generally non-refundable, except as described below or as required by applicable law.
Registration fees are one-time and non-refundable once enrollment is set up, except where required by law. Where we cancel a class and do not offer a make-up, we will provide a make-up credit or a corresponding tuition adjustment.
Tuition and fees do not include any applicable taxes. You are responsible for any sales, use, or similar taxes assessed on your tuition or fees, except for taxes based on Kinetic Codex LLC's net income, property, or employees.
You are responsible for keeping your account login secure and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. Do not share your login, and do not create an account on behalf of a child. If you add another guardian to your household, you are responsible for the access you grant them.
You agree not to use the Service to:
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this Acceptable Use section or that we reasonably believe put children, families, staff, or the Service at risk.
The Service, including the Playce Academy platform, software, designs, and the Kinetic Codex method, curriculum, terminology, and instructional materials, is the property of Kinetic Codex LLC or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable right to use the Service to manage your family's enrollment. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, resell, or distribute our materials without our written permission.
Your data. You own the information you enter about your family (such as your contact details and your child's name, date of birth, and health/emergency information). We use that information only to run the academy and provide the Service, as described in our Privacy Policy. You can view, export, and request deletion of your family's data at any time from the "Your Data" page in the app.
Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback about the Service, you allow us to use it without obligation to you.
Whether Playce Academy may photograph or record your child, and how any such media may be used, is controlled by the photo/video consent settings you manage per child on the "Your Data" page in the app. You may change these settings at any time, and changes apply going forward. Nothing in these Terms grants us media rights beyond the consent you provide there.
Parkour, natural-movement, and physical-education training are inherently physical activities that carry a risk of injury, including serious injury and, in rare cases, death. By enrolling your child, you acknowledge and voluntarily assume the inherent risks of these activities on behalf of yourself and your child, as more fully set out in the Waiver you sign during enrollment.
The Waiver — a liability release and parental consent made under Florida law, including Fla. Stat. § 744.301(3) — governs the assumption of risk and release for your child's participation in classes and controls over any conflicting summary here. The release in the Waiver applies to the inherent risks of the activity and does not release Playce Academy from its own negligence; we remain responsible for exercising reasonable care in delivering our classes.
You agree to disclose any medical condition, injury, allergy, or limitation relevant to your child's safe participation, to have your child follow coach instructions and safety rules, and to ensure your child is dressed appropriately (including closed-toe athletic shoes) for class.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service (our website and family app) is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. This disclaimer concerns the software and does not limit our responsibility to deliver classes with reasonable care.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Kinetic Codex LLC and its members, officers, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service (the software), regardless of the legal theory and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.
Nothing in this Section limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for personal injury caused by our negligence, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. The assumption of risk and release for your child's participation in classes are governed by the Waiver, not by this Section.
We will not be liable for any delay or failure to provide classes or the Service (other than a failure to issue a refund or credit that is due) caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, fire, utility or internet outages, third-party service outages (including hosting and payment processors), public-health emergencies, or government action. Where classes are affected, we will provide make-up credits or tuition adjustments as described in Section 4 where reasonably practicable.
You may stop using the Service and withdraw your child at any time (see Section 4). We may suspend or end your access to the Service, with reasonable notice where practicable, if you materially breach these Terms (including the Acceptable Use section), if your account remains past due, or where necessary to protect children, families, staff, or the Service. We may act without prior notice where required by law or to address a security or safety risk.
After termination. Your right to use the Service ends. You may export your family's data from the "Your Data" page before your account is closed, and you may request deletion as described in the Privacy Policy. Some records may be retained where required by law (for example, billing and tax records). Sections that by their nature should survive — including 3–5 (amounts owed), 8 (Intellectual Property and Your Data), 10 (Physical Activity and Safety), 11–12 (Disclaimer and Limitation), 15 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution), and 16 (Contact) — survive termination.
Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
Informal resolution first. If you have a concern, please contact us first at founder@playceacademy.com. We will try to resolve most issues informally and quickly.
Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service (the software) will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, seated in Florida. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration provision does not apply to, and does not release or waive, any claim for personal injury to your child — those are governed by the Waiver and by Florida law.
CLASS-ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND KINETIC CODEX LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Small claims and equitable relief. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court where it qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive relief in a Florida court to protect its intellectual property.
30-day right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration and class-action-waiver section by emailing founder@playceacademy.com within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms, with your name, account email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make a material change, we update the version and effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or by email; continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms. The version you accepted is recorded at the moment you agree.
The Service is operated by Kinetic Codex LLC d/b/a Playce Academy, a Florida limited liability company (Tampa, Florida). For any questions, notices, or requests, contact founder@playceacademy.com.
