TERMS & CONDITIONS
1) REGISTRATION AND DEPOSIT
a) Registration fee of $50 per student is due upon enrollment.
b) Registration fees are non-refundable.
c) Security deposit: Upon registration, the academy requires a security deposit based on 4
weeks of lessons. This deposit is not refunded upon receiving the notice of withdrawal, instead
it will be used to offset the fees billed for the last month of classes.
Should a client register for additional classes a corresponding security deposit will be
collected.
Should a client reduce their current number of classes (single class withdrawal), the security
deposit for the corresponding class will be used to offset the last billable month of said class.
2) FEES
a) Tuition fees are charged on a monthly basis at the beginning of each month. Payment will be
automatically deducted from your customer account on a monthly basis through Visa,
Mastercard, or American Express credit cards.
b) Fees are NON-REFUNDABLE, however we do consider the following exceptional
circumstances:
- When a student sustains an injury that does not permit them to participate over an extended
period of time, the remaining course fee credit can be put on hold for a maximum period of 6
months, after verification of supporting medical certificate, and subject to class availability.
- If the injury justifies permanent withdrawal, the remaining course fee credit will be
surrendered and the deposit will be refunded.
- If the Academy cancels a class with insufficient registration (full refund).
c) Credit will not be given for missed classes due to illness, school trips, holidays or personal
commitments.
d) If a class is cancelled due to sickness of the teacher, a health epidemic or any other
foreseen or unforeseen event, the Academy will endeavor to reschedule the class. This may be
on a different day or a different time or might involve exceptionally running a class on a public
holiday. No refunds will be given in this case.
e) Public Holiday: There will be no lessons conducted on gazetted public holidays. Class fees
will not be charged for the corresponding days.
f) Proration of Fees: fees will not be prorated (only the very first billing cycle may be charged as
a partial month): once a slot is booked, fees are charged on the basis of a full month minus
public holidays.
g) Families that need time off for their overseas travel planning or to focus on examinations
may put lessons on hold without incurring any penalties: once a year (Jan to Dec) and for a
maximum period of four weeks consecutively (strictly). The slot will be kept for this student.
Please understand that this has a cost to the academy and no exemptions will be made for
more than one pause in a year or for a longer period.
h) Missed lessons: For group lessons, students are eligible for up to one make up per month
for a missed lesson. Replacements must take place in another class within the month of
absence or the following month, and are subject to class availability.
i) Refund: All That Jazz has a strict no refund policy. Once a new cycle has been billed, you are
entitled to the remaining lessons (rest of the cycle and deposit).
3. PAYMENTS
a) Invoices must be settled by automated debit on the first of each month.
b) Clients must save their card details in “Auto-Pay” via the parent portal or with the help of
our admin staff. Note that we do not store bank information, payments are processed via
Stripe’s secured platform (more details at https://stripe.com/docs/security/stripe)
c) In case the auto-payment is rejected, it has to be addressed by the 7th of the corresponding
month. A $20 late fee will be automatically assessed for fees received after this date.
d) If any fees remain outstanding after the 7th of each month, the academy reserves the right
to ask participants to leave the class.
4. NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL
a) Withdrawal: Once enrolled, your child is enrolled on a continuous basis until a withdrawal
notice has been logged. Such notice can be given in writing latest by the 25th of any given
month. The effective date of the withdrawal will be the last class of the following month. The
last month of lessons will be billed and the security deposit will be used to offset these
charges. I.e., if I give notice at any date within a given month, I will finish my current month
cycle plus one month. Only written notice of withdrawal to admin@allthatjazz.com.sg will be
considered. Informing an instructor or staff of intent to withdraw or not attend classes, does
not constitute a withdrawal from classes.
b) Should a student wish to re-enrol later on, the registration fees will be applied and deposit
will be collected.
