Understanding the Difference Between a Policy and a Package Agreement

Overview

Policies and package agreements both help protect your business and set expectations with clients — but they serve different purposes. Knowing when and how to use each ensures clients are clearly informed and legally accountable from the moment they join.

Prerequisites

Before you begin:

  • Have access to Edit Profile and Retail Configuration in CORE
  • Know what terms you want clients to agree to at signup vs per membership/package
  • Have legal-ready wording for policies and agreements

Step-by-step instructions


Step 1: Understand what a policy is

  • A policy is something the client agrees to once, typically during first login or signup.
  • They appear as checkboxes with linked content and cover general terms like:
    • Liability waivers
    • COVID-19 protocols
    • Studio cancellation and no-show rules

✅ Policies are business-wide and apply to every client.


Step 2: Add or view a policy

  1. Click your Studio Name > Edit Profile
  2. Go to Policies
  3. Click on an existing policy to view the content or use the + icon to add a new one
  4. Add your policy title and text
  5. Mark it as Required so clients must agree before continuing


Step 3: Understand what a package agreement is

  • A package agreement (sometimes called a membership agreement) is tied to a specific pack or membership.
  • These are more detailed and often include:
    • Commitment periods (e.g., “12-month minimum”)
    • Class cancellation rules specific to that membership
    • Termination or refund conditions

📄 Unlike policies, agreements are signed and stored in the client’s file with a timestamp.


Step 4: Add or view a package agreement

  1. Go to Payments > Retail Configuration
  2. Click into Memberships or Packages
  3. Select a specific item
  4. Scroll to the Agreement Section
  5. Toggle it ON and paste your agreement content
  6. Enable Send Electronic Confirmation so clients get a copy
  7. Save the changes


Expected outcome

Clients will:

  • Agree to your policies during initial sign-up (tick box)
  • Sign agreements when purchasing packs or memberships (signature required)

Your team will be able to:

  • View policies and signed agreements in the client profile
  • Download signed agreements as PDFs (not available for ticked policies)

FAQs

A: Yes — many studios include key clauses in both places for clarity and reinforcement.

Q: Can I remove the agreement option from a membership?

A: Yes — agreements are optional and can be toggled off for certain items.

Q: Where can I view what a client agreed to?

A: In their profile under Client Info, you’ll see policy acceptance dates and downloadable agreement files.
