Terms and Conditions

1.  Lessons

    The Student is to conform to their allotted time. Lesson times are concurrent and therefore the end time of one lesson is the start time of the next. Students are to respect the Students either side of their lesson time by arriving at the allotted time and leaving promptly at the end of the lesson.
Lessons are not transferrable.
 
2.  Payment of fees

     The Student (or the Student’s parent or guardian) will pay the fees for each lesson in full at the time of each lesson. Missed lessons will still have to be paid for in accordance with
Condition 4.
 
3.  Holidays

     Lessons will not take place on public holidays.
 
4.  Missed lessons

    48 hours’ notice is required to reschedule or cancel any lessons. The Teacher will charge for any unattended scheduled lessons unless sufficient notice has been given or the Teacher chooses not to do so because of exceptional circumstances.
   
     If the Teacher is obliged to cancel a scheduled lesson, the Student (or the Student’s parent or guardian) will receive a replacement lesson.
 
5.   Examinations, competitions and public performances

      The Student will not be entered for any examination, competition or public performance without the prior consent of both the Teacher and the Student (or the Student’s parent or guardian).
 
6.   Conduct

If the Teacher, using their reasonable discretion, feels unable to continue tuition on account of conduct by the Student or anyone connected with the Student which makes it unethical or unsafe to continue teaching the Student, the fees for any outstanding lessons will not be refundable.
 
7.   Changes

(a)  Any changes to the terms of this Agreement must be confirmed in writing and signed and dated by both the Teacher and the Student (or the Student’s parent or guardian).

​(b) If the Teacher chooses to waive any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise (for example, if the Teacher chooses to waive fees for any lessons which the Student (or any other Student) does not attend) this shall not mean that they must do so in future or that they waive any other rights or remedies, unless agreed in writing in accordance with Condition 7(a) above.
 
8. Governing law and jurisdiction

    This Agreement shall be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction of the location for the lessons (specified above) and the signatories to this Agreement agree that any dispute relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that jurisdiction.
