TERMS & CONDITIONS

 DRUM LESSONS at SOUL STUDIOS

 

By signing up to have lessons at Soul Studios you agree to adhere to our terms of service. These are as follows:

Termination of lessons: You must give 1 month’s notice if you wish to cancel your lessons. (One calendar month is from 1st -15th of a given month to end that end of the SAME month, after the 15th it is the end of the following month)

Missed lessons by the pupil: Any lesson missed by the pupil for ANY reason is, unfortunately, missed and Soul Studios are not obligated to catch or refund any lesson. It is to be made clear that it is the weekly time slot that is paid for and NOT the actual lessons themselves.

Missed lessons by the teacher: If a teacher misses a lesson all efforts will be made to catch up the lesson. If a catch-up time cannot be arranged at the convenience of the teacher and pupil then the money for that missed lesson will be refunded at the end of the year.

Payment methods: We accept standing orders as a form of monthly payment only. Cheques and cash are not accepted. A PayPal payment of the 1st two months + tuition book and sticks are required to be made for the “initial payment” which secures your time slot and enables you to be added to the timetable and for lessons to commence.

A standing order must then be set up and in place ready for the 1st of the month AFTER those initial two months (already paid for) are completed for lessons to continue. Lessons may be refused if this payment is not made. The setting up of the standing order is the responsibility of the person paying for drum lessons and should be either set up online or at their bank.

Failure to cancel a standing order after termination of lessons: It is the responsibility of the customer to cancel a standing order / direct debit after termination of lessons. You will be advised by Soul Studios as to when the standing order needs to run until and when it needs to be cancelled by but Soul Studios has no control over a standing order therefore it is solely the responsibility of the customer to make sure it is cancelled. Soul Studios are not obligated to refund any further payments made to their account after the lessons have been terminated.

Soul Studios reserves the right to change the price of lessons at any point in the year however at least 30days notice will be given in case you wish to give us notice to cancel lessons / to change the standing order amount.
