Removal or Refusal of Participation
RDSA may deny, pause, or end participation when a student is unsafe, unprepared, impaired, disruptive, ineligible, improperly equipped, or unwilling to follow instructions. Refund eligibility is governed by academy policy and the circumstances.
Legal Compliance
Students are responsible for complying with all applicable firearm, ammunition, possession, transport, licensing, and range laws. RDSA does not provide individual legal advice.
Alcohol, Drugs, and Official Communications
No alcohol, illegal drugs, cannabis, or other impairing substances may be used before, during, or immediately after class activities. Prescription or over-the-counter medication that may impair judgment, coordination, alertness, or safe firearm handling must be disclosed to the instructor before participation.
RDSA may refuse or end training at any time when a participant appears impaired, unfit, unsafe, disruptive, or unable to follow instructions.
Official course, payment, transfer, cancellation, and rescheduling communications must be made through the RDSA system or in writing by email. Text or WhatsApp may be used for urgent scheduling notice, but telephone calls alone do not constitute official notice.
