Terms And Conditions

AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU

AND MUSIC ACADEMICS MUSIC SCHOOL

1. FOR THE USE OF MUSIC ACADEMICS MUSIC SCHOOL STUDIO

TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND COMPANY POLICIES

Time for Payment

All invoices are payable upon receipt. Payment for lessons must be paid in full prior to teaching. Monthly tuition is due seven (7) days prior to student’s first lesson of the month. If student has not paid monthly tuition in full prior to the start of lessons, no lesson will be given. Teacher then reserves the right to modify the student’s lesson schedule or refuse service. There are no refunds once lessons for the month have been paid in full in advance. Student will be sent a courtesy payment reminder by text message, tele-prompt or by email when payment is due. Cash is the acceptable form of payment at the music studio. A receipt will be given on cash payment with classes paid for. 

Default in Payment

The Student shall assume responsibility for all collection of legal fees necessitated by default in payment.

Lesson Cancellation

If student is unable to attend scheduled lesson, you must contact Teacher twenty-four (24) hours prior to the lesson. This allows sufficient time for your scheduled session to be attended by another student as opposed to the slot remaining unattended. Tuition will not be adjusted/refunded for failure to show up for lessons for whatever reason.

Teacher Absence

If Teacher cancels lessons due to illness, family emergency, or any other reason, a make up lesson will be granted to the student. Make up lesson will be scheduled on a mutually agreed upon time.

Make Up Lessons

If a student misses a lesson for any reason, the student is not entitled to a make up lesson. Make up lessons will be given solely at the discretion of Teacher and are not mandatory. Consideration will ONLY be given to credible emergencies. Frequent cancellations (more than two classes consecutively per billing cycle) will result in the student losing their time slot and the student's status being changed from Active to Inactive. A billing cycle is four consecutive music classes (one class per week). Further cancellations or missed classes thereafter will result in the student being terminated and classes paid for but not completed in the current billing cycle will not be carried over to the next billing cycle. Should this happen a returning student will be eligible for the next best time slot available and will have to pay for a new billing cycle. Tuition will not be adjusted/refunded for any reason, including missed lessons. Maximum additional days that will be added to any billing cycle for emergencies is one day only. Missed classes can be made up during current billing cycle.

Tardiness

If the student is tardy, the student will only be given a lesson that lasts for the duration of their prearranged and agreed upon time and date. This ensures that students do not impose on each other's time slot. For example, if the student’s lesson is from 4:00-4:30 on Monday, and the student arrives at 4:15; the student will only be given a lesson until 4:30. No make up lesson will be given for tardy students and tuition will not be adjusted.

Misbehavior

If the student child becomes disruptive, disrespectful, or otherwise misbehaves, Teacher reserves the right to terminate the lesson without refund. The student’s parent/guardian will be held responsible for any damages caused to Teacher including but not limited to, equipment, home furnishings, or time lost caused by the student and/or parent/guardian. Teacher is the sole determiner of what constitutes misbehavior.

Holidays

There'll be no lessons during public holidays unless notified otherwise. Tuition will not be adjusted for public holidays.

Lesson Schedule

Each student will be given one sixty (60) minute lesson per week on a pre-arranged day of the week and time slot.

Cancellation Policy

If Student wishes to cancel lessons, they must notify Teacher in writing no less than 14 days prior to the beginning of the next calendar month. If the Client fails to notify Teacher within 14 days of the next calendar month, Client will incur a cancellation fee of $50. Any and all deposits, payments, and/or tuition are non refundable.

Modifications

Modification of this Agreement must be written.

Limitation of Liability 

Student agrees that it shall not hold Teacher or their agents, relatives, or employees liable for any incidental or consequential damages. Student hereby holds harmless Teacher of any and all claims, demands, actions and causes of action whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including death, that may be sustained, whether caused by the negligence of Teacher, or otherwise, while participating in lesson, or while in, on, or upon the premises where the lesson is being conducted. Dispute Resolution Any disputes in excess of $15,000 arising out of this Agreement shall be submitted to binding arbitration before a mutually agreed upon arbitrator pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Arbitrator’s award shall be final, and judgment may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Student shall pay all arbitration and court costs, reasonable attorney’s fees, and legal interest on any award of judgment in favor of Teacher.
